Review from Joanna L K (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been in the nursery for a year, starting as a 2-year old. He had difficulty settling in but the ladies helped him considerably to feel welcome and safe. Eventually, he started loving it there and during the summer break holidays, he was asking several times when he could come back. Now as a 3-year-old he enjoys it even more, although management could be more flexible with the hours offered. I do not like the system of 2.5 days a week. When I asked if this can be maintained, I was given an answer that yes but only if I want my 3-year-old to be staying with 2-year-olds :( not really a lot of choice. My second concern is TV and iPads. Are they really necessary for such small children? They have enough TV at home, I believe.

In spite of those two concerns, the staff is caring, kind and really dedicated. I always felt well-informed and most of all my son loves it. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Reply from Elizabeth Smith, Manager at A B C Day Nursery

Thank you for your review, due to the high demand for the three-year-old spaces for the 2017/18 and the new 30-hour funding coming into place, we had no choice but to offer the sessions over 2.5 days. We like to offer flexible places but this wasn't possible for the schoolroom intake this year as...

Review from Laura B (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I definitely recommend A B C Day Nursery, I've had an older child and 8-month-old who is now 2, attend and both thrived in the setting.

I find the staff caring and approachable, I love the venue and think they've got it right with the different rooms and age groups.

The garden has just had a refresh and is now an all year round space which is perfect.

Their daddy also attended the nursery 30 years ago and it's still run by the same family, proof that they're doing something very right.

Reply from Elizabeth Smith, Manager at A B C Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely comments, it's lovely having the second generation of the family attending.

The day nursery has a very warm and welcoming environment. Staff are all very approachable and clearly shows passion at what they do as you can see immediately how they are with the children.

Highly recommend this day care!

Overall Experience

Two of my children attended this nursery when we moved to Bearwood. All of the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly and made great connections with the children and their older sibling. They really took the time to treat each child as an individual. Having used other nurseries previously I can definitely say A B C are the best by a mile.

I love this nursery and my son loves this nursery even though we have moved away from the area he still attends and won't be moving anytime soon! He is only 2 1/2 and his speech is amazing and has made so many good friends with the other children and staff I highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Three of my children went to this nursery and were really well looked after, they had so much fun and took part in lovely activities. A brilliant environment. They were given healthy nutritious food and drink. The staff were always helpful and understanding and worked around my families and works needs, so very often.

Reply from Elizabeth Smith, Manager at A B C Day Nursery

Review from Gemma B (Mother of Child) published on 4 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A B C Day Nursery is a nursery I have and will continue to recommend. My first daughter went from 9 months and is now 6 years old and my second daughter has just started and I wouldn't have sent her anywhere else. The staff are all warm and friendly, they go out of their way to understand your child as an individual and support them throughout their time at nursery. The nursery is always introducing innovative play and educational sessions with babies and children. My daughter was confident, sociable and also learnt a lot at nursery and talks positively of her time there now. My baby daughter has settled in well and already seems to be enjoying her time there too.

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review, we look forward to making more memories over the years with your little one.

My daughter has only attended the nursery for a short while, but the whole family has been made to feel so welcome. The staff are all really professional and have really helped and guided us with her settling in sessions. So happy with our choice to send her there.

Review from April W (Mother of Child) published on 4 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Amazing nursery my son has been going since September this year and he's getting on so well there. Staff are very good especially at comforting him when he first started because he kept getting upset after me. I was worried about his speaking and communication when he started, however, feel he has come on leaps and bounds since starting there. Lovely nursery and staff!

Reply from Elizabeth smith, Manager at A B C Day Nursery

The tears soon stop with a bit of fun and distraction. It's lovely to see him growing in confidence and chatting more.

Overall Experience

ABC is a great nursery. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time here. She's learnt numerous things; making friends and growing in confidence are the two factors ABC has provided our daughter with.

It has given her the perfect start to her upcoming Pre School in Hampshire. I wish we weren't moving, otherwise she would have happily stayed at ABC :-)
