Review from J D (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

Since my daughter has attended this nursery I have noticed such a positive difference in her behaviour and her learning and development has excelled! The staff are constantly encouraging at nursery and at home especially with helping us during toilet training. We couldn't be more happier and content with the nursery.

Review from R S (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

Overall, both myself and my child have had an excellent experience at this nursery. My child has benefitted so much from all of the learning opportunities provided and I have seen a great deal of progress in the short time she has been at The Nest. The caring and nurturing approach of the nursery staff helped her settle in quickly and easily, and she loves going to nursery every day. I am very keen on the curiosity approach used by the nursery, as it provides children with the opportunity to use simple items to be imaginative and in awe of the world. My child has become even more confident and comes home every day with new vocabulary she has learnt, which has vastly expanded her speaking skills. Overall an excellent nursery.

Overall Experience

Both of my daughters attend The Nest. I've always had great experiences. I love the nature of the nursery and my girls love to be outside, this is encouraged and develops their imagination. All staff are helpful, caring, nurturing and knowledgable. I am always given feedback. I actually get ideas from The Nest. I feel completely happy and safe. I would highly recommend to all. I like extra activities such as forest school, yoga, dance, learn and sign. The nursery itself is also accommodating if I need to change dates etc.

Overall Experience

Excellent nursery. Staff are so friendly and caring. My son has settled in really well here. There are always lovely activities for them to do, including forest school and the brilliant garden. They also take them on trips. The nursery works with parents very collaboratively and keeps us up to date (in detail) with what our son has been up to, would definitely recommend.

I have had 2 older attended this nursery and my 3 child is now attending. The Nursery offers a warm and welcoming environment, the staff are friendly and the children have lots of exciting activities to choose from. The garden is lovely all year round. As a parent, I feel comfortable leaving my children in their care while I am at work.

Review from S G (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

Our children have both loved The Nest Nursery Wood End. The staff are so caring and take the time to get to know you and your children. They provide excellent learning activities - their outside space, inside activities and environment, is regularly changed to give the kids new and exciting things to engage with and learn from. Their curiosity approach is wonderful, giving our kids the freedom to explore, choose what they want to learn and develop valuable skills like independence and confidence. Can't rate it highly enough.

From the first time we visited it was warm and friendly.
All the staff are exceptionally caring towards each child.
They put us at ease and we were both comfortable and confident with leaving our daughter here.

Their mud kitchen and outdoor area are fantastic and each child seems happy and content.

Review from Leona T (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My daughter spends days here at the nursery where she fully enjoys the setting with its natural resources - big outdoor garden space for her to get stuck in as she can't do this with no garden at home.

I love how the nursery encourages children's self-help skills and getting them ready for the future.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending this nursery since she's been 11 months old. The staff (all of them) have become like a second family to us. Since she's started talking, she can now share her experiences with us and to see how much she loves everyone is just so touching.

We don't have enough words to thank everyone at The Nest Wood End and cannot recommend it enough.

Overall Experience
The nursery is very welcoming and all staff are friendly and know about all children and what they have done throughout the day. The nursery offers different experiences for the children. The nursery is home from home feel and they learn different experiences.

The staff are always willing to help and my son loves his time at nursery and his confidence has gained while being at nursery. I feel safe leaving my boy in The Nest Nursery.

Review from Natasha C (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
The Nest Wood End is exemplary. It far exceeds my expectations of a nursery setting. My daughter loves it there and so do I. The staff are wonderful, caring, attentive and I can see the children both respect and admire them. My daughter was in the throes of potty training when she started here and the support given to continue this development was great.
Through the singing of songs, my daughter has learnt the days of the week as well as many other things. Her speech is impeccable for a 2-year-old. The events out for both children and parents amaze me, they are wonderful. I don't know which one of us is more excited to be honest, me or my daughter.

The ethos at The Nest is A-Class. The Forest School is superb for the development/imagination/independence of thought for the children. Just blows my mind. The regular reviews with our key worker include my own review and is a clear example of working together with parents. It is not just a drop-off and pick up, you can conversate with staff, feeling quite at home. I appreciate the Nest and all the staff. Thank you for all your hard work.
