Review from Samantha (Mother of Child) published on 20 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Overall I think the nursery is fabulous.
Over lockdown, there wasn’t a clear amount of communication from Bright Horizons such as when they were opening the nursery, to what was going to happen when the nursery was opening and trying to get in touch with Bright Horizons! There weren’t any answers! Which is what we all would have liked to make things more comforting for when my son did go back.
However, since the nursery has been open, it has been as fabulous as ever.

I look forward to going back inside the nursery to pick my son up inside and speak to the nursery staff. Plus seeing what he’s been up too. That is an important part of both of our days.

Overall Experience
Absolutely wonderful nursery. Our son was struggling at the beginning, but all the girls supported him and us to get where we are now. We are so grateful to the team. You are all brilliant!
Our son is happy and excited to go to nursery. He says that he loves one member of staff.
My husband and I are both very happy how much our son has progressed. I know that my child is safe and looked after when I leave him there.

We cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Review from Lisa C (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has returned to nursery extremely happily. She couldn't wait to return, and on her first day back, walked straight in smiling when greeted at the door. The fact that she wanted to return after such a long time speaks volumes about how much she enjoys her time at Milford and all of the staff. The processes in place to support Covid-19 seem to be working efficiently and hasn't impacted on how much she enjoys being there at all. Thank you for making the return to the setting as pain-free as possible both for her and us as parents.

Nursery is great! My son has settled in so well. All the staff have really looked after him and helped me with the transition back to work. He is so happy when I collect him and he always has a wide variety of food and activities while I'm away.

Overall Experience
Our son has recently started at this nursery, and we are really impressed with the staff and nursery. The staff are always very friendly and make time to speak to you on drop off and pickups.

We feel very comfortable with our son being at the nursery and love reading through the sheet of paper which tells us what he has eaten and done!

Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 6 months old. I can't fault the staff, they have been more than accommodating for his needs and development. The staff are very helpful and friendly. My boy loves nursery and runs towards all the girls.

Review from L T (Mother of Child) published on 19 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son is transitioning from the nursery room to pre-school. I was worried with how he would transition with him not liking change and being attached to his keyworker. I was impressed that staff realised that he would need extra moving-in sessions. I'm amazed with the new room, they have got my son over his fear in the garden and he is now enjoying coming into nursery. I can't thank the pre-school staff for reassuring both me and my son, and am really happy.

Review from Victoria P (Mother of Child) published on 21 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

An excellent nursery. I moved my daughters here from another nursery and they are so much happier here. They are excited to go and are very happy on my return. The staff are great, communication and hand over is excellent. I particularly love the structure and believe it really prepares them for school. The food is great and love that snacks are part of the routine too. It's great that everything is provided i.e. suncream and hats, so I don't have to worry.

Overall Experience
Staff at the nursery are always friendly and approachable, and whenever we've had anything to work through regarding our daughter or her care it has been easily resolved.

Recently, however, staff turnover has been quite high, which is a minor concern of ours.

Overall Experience
Really impressed with my son's progress, which I feel is in no small part down to two particular members of staff.

I am so happy with their educational approach, their engagement and the development that I see in my son. The environment is great too and I love the room.

Overall Experience
My son started at Milford at the start of March 2019.

He has settled in really well thanks to the staff there who make him happy. In just a few short weeks, he has already come along. He plays more with children and is getting more independent. The staff are lovely and friendly. Always say hello and they all seem to know my son's name, including the cook.

Excellent nursery. My little boy really enjoys it. The staff are lovely and very encouraging. His eating has really improved and they've even helped us with techniques to settle him at night which has worked amazingly.

Overall Experience

A caring and inclusive environment larger than the previous nursery my son attended but still doesn't have that very large nursery feel. All the staff know the children individually regardless of where they work in the nursery and seem to have a good relationship with the children. Facilities especially outdoor facilities are very good. Parent feedback on children's progress is good.

Rebecca Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2004
Rebecca

Hi, I am Rebecca, the Nursery Manager.

I have worked at Milford since 2004 and I became manager in 2012. I love supporting, caring and working with our families to ensure we provide excellent childcare for their children. I have two children of my own so I am able to work closely with parents that find leaving their children hard and sympathize with the challenges this brings as a parent. My door is always open to everyone.

Hannah Job Title: Deputy Manager
Hannah

I have been a part of the team here at Milford for eight years now, and have fulfilled many different roles during this time. I have worked my way up from a nursery nurse to my current position of Deputy Manager, gaining lots of valuable experience along the way.

I thoroughly enjoy working to support all our families and children at the nursery and love how no two days are ever the same in childcare.

I have a little girl of my own who I absolutely adore and we enjoy lots of traveling in our spare time.
