Review from Marcus K (Father of Child) published on 7 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff are very friendly. The outside facilities are fantastic and my son and daughter really enjoy going to the nursery. I really like the updates on Tapestry to see your child's progress during the month to month basis. I like that there is a wide range of learning activities such as baby yoga, signing and forest school.

When our son first arrived at The Nest Nursery Wood End, he was shy and lacking confidence. But now he has increased his confidence considerably with social skills improving all the time thanks to The Nest Nursery Wood End.

Review from Helen L (Mother of Child) published on 4 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

What to say about this amazing nursery? Where do I begin? My daughter started there is December 2013 aged 8 months old and they have helped mould and grow an enthusiastic and polite young girl. The care and experiences she gets there are second to none. It is like a small home from home where she feels comfortable to play, learn and be herself. The fantastic staff are always keen, eager and approachable if you have any questions. The setting is fab with the most beautiful garden full of equipment and learning opportunities for any young child. The mud kitchen is a huge hit as is the secret forest school garden. As my daughter leaves for school now, I'm immensely grateful for the best job they've done educating my child.

Amazing nursery with beautifully set out rooms based on a natural approach. Children have access to the garden at all times and they are able to choose what room they would like to play in depending on their interest. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend.

My child has been at this nursery since she was 6 months old and I can't praise the staff and surroundings highly enough. The outside space is superb as are the activities the kids get to do outside of the nursery.

Overall Experience

My little girl attended here and she absolutely adored the outdoors area. The staff were really engaging and supportive of her love for the outdoors and encouraged her independence. The nursery is so calming the way it is set up it's like a home away from home. She also enjoyed all the messy activities available because she loves getting messy and the play dough station was one of her favourite areas as well.

Review from A R (Father of Child) published on 27 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My second child now attends The Nest Nursery Wood End following my first child. I can honestly say with the team leading the nursery and the exceptional caring and nurturing staff, I would not consider sending my child anywhere else. The environment gives my child excellent opportunity to learn and develop. The Nest Nursery Wood End provides activities put on by staff and the agencies such as the music man/woman and learn and sign all. I don't believe you would find many nurseries with an outside space that The Nest Nursery Wood End has with its garden. This huge outdoor environment gives my child the opportunity to explore new things and I am fortunate my child can attend a nursery with such a space. The Nest Nursery has brilliant top class facilities but it is the staff that leave me feeling at ease knowing that my child is being left in the best possible care.

Review from Steve W (Father of Child) published on 27 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my children have attended this nursery. The staff are very helpful and are always very caring towards them. The environment is very homely and very inviting and the resource they use are very natural which make their learning opportunity endless. The boys really enjoy the garden and the free flow, they are allowed to play indoors or outdoors, this means they can do as they please. It's also lovely how the children are all together as well as the boys can have their own friends but also have each other too. I couldn't wish for a better nursery for my children to go to. Thank you to all the amazing staff.

Overall Experience

The Nest nursery is a fantastic place to be, my daughter loved it here the staff are always friendly and helpful like one big happy family. My daughter is the kind of child who likes to get down and dirty and this was the place she could do it, mud and sand, paint, water, spaghetti you name it she was there, and if your child likes something, in particular, they will do their best to see to it that they can do it and explore it.

Review from Lindsay M (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I visited the Nest Nursery to attend the baby massage classes that took place in a certain part of the nursery.
All of the staff were so friendly and helpful and made me and my daughter very welcome indeed. We had a tour of the nursery while we were there and it looked so much fun and the kids looked so happy.

I thought it was such a good idea for a nursery to offer some of their space to allow classes such as baby massage to take place. It allowed me to not only attend a class that my baby loved but also see the nursery environment where I wouldn't hesitate to take my daughter in the future.

Review from Liam H (Father of Child) published on 27 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is amazing! It's not focused on making as much money as it can it's main focus is the children. My daughter attends this nursery and loves every minute of it. Staff are warming and welcome you as part of the family. Children's minds are opened with the great environments the nursery offer. My daughter comes home telling me she's done yoga, forest school, music man has been, dance lesson. A full packed day not just sat in one room playing with toys but letting my daughter experience nature as it is in the fantastic garden setting they have. I could go on but the main thing to say is letting someone else look after your children is a massive risk we all take. But I 100% trust my daughter in this loving, safe and enjoyable environment every day.

Review from Racheal F (Grandmother of Child) published on 27 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My two grandsons went to this nursery. The staff are so good they stand up for everything they could dream of they are down to earth staff and there's not a day when my grandsons were not happy because the staff are very hard working and take their job seriously, also they have a zero tolerance of the use of mobile phones inside the building due to the child protection. The saying is the bestest nursery is The Nest is best. Couldn't ask for a better nursery at all.

Review from Lisa P (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am a mother of three. My youngest child will be leaving to go to school this year. The staff have helped me as a working parent to bring my son up with the utmost respect for himself and others. The nursery is ran exceptionally well and I only wish that The Nest team had been there from the very beginning of all my children attending.
I would highly recommend this nursery not only for the amazing staff but for the most beautiful garden that they have adapted and turned into an adventure playground for the children's little imaginations to explore.

The nursery is a clean environment full of exciting learning toys where my son truly loves to be. I will be sad to know that come September I will no longer be needing their services. I can't thank the team enough for the hard work and loving care they have shown the children.

Overall Experience

Since the Nest was taken over it has transformed visually and I have noticed my daughter's development has significantly improved. I have been going there for about 5-6 years now so I've seen the growth of the environment and the staff. I've even recommended the nursery to others. You are kept very well informed and my daughter is very happy there.
