All staff at the nursery are wonderful, easy to talk to, helpful and supportive. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting here nearly 2 years ago.

I would recommend this nursery to all those seeking childcare provisions for their children.

Review from Marion M (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We feel incredibly grateful to have found this nursery. We used two other nurseries in the area when our older child was a toddler, so we have experienced different environments.
From the moment we walked in, we knew this was the one. It felt loved, calm and genuine.
It truly is a home away from home - a little nursery family. Many nurseries claim to provide that sense of warmth and belonging (and some do) but this is the first place we felt something immediate and unmistakable about the atmosphere. The environment is nurturing, welcoming and filled with care. You can see it in the way the staff interact with the children - they are attentive, kind and emotionally present.
Toni is warm and approachable, and it is clear the nurturing tone of the nursery is set from the top.
We feel completely reassured leaving our child here, knowing he is safe, valued and cared for.

We would highly recommend Toni and her compassionate, dedicated team who do wonderful work every single day

My daughter really enjoys her time at the meadows, she absolutely adores her key workers Kate and Louise, she is very happy here. Toni is also very lovely, going to be so so sad when she leaves for reception.

Review from C L (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has attended The Meadows since 2023 and will remain there until September this year. From the very start, the nursery has been welcoming, friendly, and supportive, and my little boy has always been so happy there.
The staff are truly lovely - caring, approachable, and dedicated. They have always provided me with support as a parent, and I've felt reassured knowing my son is in such a nurturing environment. Communication has been excellent, and it's clear how much the team genuinely care about the children.

I'm incredibly grateful for The Meadows as a first time mom it is such a relief to find a nursery where you trust all the staff and have no concerns dropping your child off while you work. Would definitely recommend

Review from Thomas B (Father of Child) published on 13 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been using the Meadows Nursery for nearly 4 years with both of our children attending, and we could not be happier with the level of care provided. The nursery has a real family feel to it, with all staff being really friendly and approachable. They also have a very experienced team with very low staff turnover, giving the children consistency which really helps them to feel happy at nursery. They are also really supportive to parents and are always happy to help with things like potty training or sleep routines. We would highly recommend this nursery!

Review from Elisa E (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my children have attended the Meadows from 1 year old until starting school.

The nursery is an exceptional setting with engaging and enthusiastic staff. The range of activities always keeps my children challenged and entertained and the food is always a huge hit.

The manager Toni is always so proactive and responsive with any queries I have.

My children love going to nursery and that's thanks to the warm and safe environment that the Meadows provides. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies.

Review from I B (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at The Meadows Day Nursery are exceptional. I am a first time mother and was anxious about my one year old starting nursery but the staff could not have put me more at ease. My little one is now three and the only thing I have to worry about is when they leave nursery and start school. The staff at The Meadows are a close-knit team with a low staff turnover. As a result they know the children and families well and are able to communicate and feedback honestly and effectively. I feel confident in the nursery and comfortable that my child is in a safe place and is happy.

Review from Lisa S (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have been using this nursery consistently for 12 years until current for all 3 of my children.
I'd never send them anywhere else, all three children have thrived and still speak fondly of all the staff at the nursery. The staff are welcoming, understanding and genuinely care about you and your children. They provide excellent communication on daily activities and routines. Many staff members have been there for the duration over 12 years which assures me they all have a close bond and are in a happy work environment.
Staff are always smiling and nothing is too much to ask. My child's needs feel tailored too, I often forget he's not the only child they have lol!

Thank you will never be enough for making nursery feel like my children's second home.

Review from Katherine I (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The Meadows is a fantastic, small nursery with excellent long-serving staff and management; many of whom have worked there for 10+ years. This creates a wonderful environment with a strong team ethos who care for and nurture the children. We have had three children at The Meadows since 2022 and have been very happy with the care they have received. Our children are happy to go to nursery and form positive relationships with the staff. The team have also been very accommodating of my changing work days which is extremely appreciated!
