Review from Laura J (Mother of Child) published on 26 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From the day our daughter started at nursery as a baby to the day she graduated from Kindy, it has been a wonderful experience. Not once did she ever cry about going in - always just excited to see everyone. The staff have been amazing over the years. The care, support, and encouragement they have given has helped her grow into such a confident, happy little girl.

Thank you for everything you've done for our daughter. We couldn't have asked for a better nursery, and we would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring, nurturing, and supportive environment for their child.

My twins have been at Howley grange kindergarten since september 2025. They have been in tweenies room. The staff have been fantastic, special mention to Christy and Julia. The only reason we are leaving is due to a house move. Thank you again to the staff.

Reply from Deborah Skitt, Manager at Howley Grange Kindergarten

Thank you so much for writing a review. Leaving your baby at nursery for the first time can be a very stressful, for both mother and child. I'm glad our staff gave you the support and trust you needed to settle in and enjoy our lovely caring nursery.

Amazing place. My son went here afew years ago and still talks about nursery (his in year 3 now ) he says how much he misses the staff there because of how kind they are and fun.

My daughter currently goes and leaving soon and yet again an amazing experience,my daughter loves the teachers and enjoys her time with them all. The manager is approachable and I believe the kids have learnt so much here. The activities they plan are always fun x highly recommend the nursery.

Review from Lauren L (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I'm not exaggerating when I say that Howley Grange Kindergarten has changed my daughters and our lives. Over 2 years, they have encouraged her confidence and her speech beyond anything we could've imagined. The staff - incredible doesn't even cut it. They are the most wonderful group of teachers/people we have ever known and we are so, so grateful for everything they have done for our daughter and ourselves.
I wouldn't ever hesitate recommending this nursery to anybody, it really, really is the best. So much so, my niece now attends!
Our daughter leaves next week before starting reception in September and it is so bittersweet. We will miss the nursery and the incredible staff so much (and are very glad our daughter is going to school club, so we'll still get to see them when we pick her up!)

Again, we couldn't have wished for a better nursery for our daughter and we'd keep her there forever if we could!

Reply from Deborah Skitt, Manager at Howley Grange Kindergarten
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Our staff work very hard every day to provide the best care possible for our children and it's amazing when this is recognised by our parents.

We're grateful that you chose us to be part of your child's early years and it's been a privilege to watch...

Review from Chloe G (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My twins have attended this nursery since they were babies, and I have seen them thrive through every stage of their development. The staff have always been caring, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping them grow, learn, and build confidence.
The nursery provides a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment, and the communication has always been excellent. The team have consistently been flexible and accommodating, making life much easier for our family.
Such has been my positive experience that my son now attends the nursery too, and I am delighted to say that the experience has been just as fantastic. The same high standards of care, support, and dedication are evident every day.

I am incredibly grateful to all the staff for the role they have played in my children's early years and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Review from Suki G (Mother of Child) published on 20 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is a fantastic nursery. My daughter settled in really quickly and within a couple of sessions the tears stopped. My daughter is only 1 years old and looks forward to going to the nursery, she is happy when she goes and is happy when she comes back. I love the updates that the nursery provides and I can tell she is well looked after. I would 100% recommend this nursery, the staff are professional and friendly and it has a family feel.

Overall Experience

Words can't truly describe how fantastic the nursery is and how amazing each member of staff is and the pivotal part they've played in the growth and development of our daughter during her time there. She has built memories that will last a lifetime and beyond grateful as a parent for the continued love and support they give to every child and investing so much time and effort into giving them the best experience. Couldn't recommend Howley Grange Kindergarten enough, thank you to each and every one of you for the part you have played, she will truly miss being there and we're so lucky that our other child has a few more years left with you

Both my children attended the kindergarten and then before and after school clubs over the years and my daughter leaves for high school later this month.
We have been very happy with the staff and facilities at Howley Grange Kindergarten and are grateful that we were able to - when needed - make short notice extra bookings.

Thank you to everyone involved with Howley Grange Kindergarten.

Overall Experience

My son has grown up surrounded by the wonderful team at Howley Grange Kindergarten, so it's bittersweet to see this chapter coming to an end. He has truly thrived and flourished, thanks to the unwavering support and care of the incredible staff. We are deeply grateful for everything they've done for him over the years - we honestly couldn't have chosen a better nursery. Thanks to their dedication, he's now confident, happy, and more than ready to take on the next big step: starting school.

This has been the only nursery my son has attended since being a baby (he's about to leave to start primary school) and I couldn't be happier. The staff are lovely and have made such strong bonds with us. They do a variety of activities and have even taken our son on a trip to the zoo recently! I know my son is safe, happy and learning at Howley Grange Kindergarten.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 1 year old and the staff have always been so great that she has thoroughly enjoyed her time here. Whenever she comes home she's excited to tell me about her day and the friends she made. I can't thank the staff enough for settling her in well to lessen my worry and all these years they've been great with her. It's a sad chapter to close but I'm sure this has prepared her for primary school and the wonderful adventures to come.

Overall Experience

A lovely nursery setting that has always made us feel our child is well looked after, able to be themselves and part of the nursery community. The nursery is consistent and experienced. Our child has thrived here. It's a lovely warm setting that I would thoroughly recommend. They provide lovely activities for the children and go above and beyond with thoughtful activities that meet interests or calendar events. There is always plenty going on. The nursery has supported the foundations for our child in a wonderful way. We know our child has been extremely happy there!

Howley Grange Kindergarten was the best place for us. The staff was very supportive and thoughtful, the activities planned were engaging and I knew my child was happily playing and learning in a secure and safe environment, which is what you want as a parent.
My son's confidence has massively improved since joining the nursery and built some very positive relationships with both staff and children.

Thank you for all you've done for my son these last couple of years. He will miss you all.
