Very friendly and caring staff. An excellent place to see your child grow and flourish, lots of learning through activities. I will always be so thankful to the lovely staff members who looked after our daughter so well.
Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review!
So delighted with The Croft Nursery! A lovely family feel with fantastic staff who really care and nurture. My little boy loves his time there and is coming on leaps and bounds! Thank you to the wonderful staff!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review!
Really lovely nursery. My son attends the preschool and the staff are so kind and caring. My son loves going. They do lots of great activities and spend lots of time outside. Meals are always great.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review of our nursery.
A wonderful nursery!
I would love for more opportunities for parents to visit the nursery for parent sessions/celebrations/occasions.
Thank you for the lovely review! Your little boy is a pleasure to have at the nursery. We are looking forward to our parents' "Cheese and Wine" evening in May. Hopefully, throughout the year there will be opportunities for parents to attend various events.
He has made many friends and relationships at a young age and the staff encourage him to be his best, his transitions through each room so far have been without fault with every measure taken to make sure his is confident and happy.
The rooms are always clean, staff are always presentable and polite. Meals and menus are clearly well thought out in terms of nutrition. There isn't much I could fault.
Thank you so much for the lovely review, your little boy is a pleasure to have at the nursery!
Fantastic setting! Amazing staff, food and activities. My little boy is so happy there. I was very nervous about leaving him but on our first stay-and-play session I knew it was the right place for us. We were so glad we chose The Croft Nursery!
Thank you for your lovely review, your little boy has settled in so well!
The staff at The Croft Nursery are absolutely amazing, always doing their utmost for both of my girls. I always leave them knowing they are safe and will always have a fabulous time! Could not wish for a better nursery.
Thank you for your kind words! It's a pleasure having the girls at the nursery.
A lovely and friendly nursery, where staff make every effort to ensure they know the children well and take the time to get to know what the children like and enjoy. We have seen so much progress in our son's development during his time at the nursery, staff have worked hard to ensure he eats well and develops lots of social and physical skills.
Thank you for reviewing the nursery and for your kind words.
It is a beautiful nursery. The environment is clean and majority of the staff are friendly. My son settled in very quickly and he loves it. Many times he doesn't want to go home, he would rather play some more than follow Mummy home. I absolutely recommend this nursery.
If only words could suffice how wonderful my experience with Croft Nursery has been. My daughter has been going to the baby's room since she was eight months old. I still remember how emotional I had been when I first dropped her at the nursery. Fast forward to now when she is now one and a half years old, she enjoys it so much there and looks forward to it every morning! The staff have always gone above and beyond to take care of my baby. It may appear that it is costly but one has to consider that even when a mother looks after her child, her efforts can't be repaid with money. I feel the same about all the staff whose efforts are priceless in raising my child. There are numerous activities full of fun and learning to keep children constructively engaged. My child has been spoilt for choice and sometimes I struggle to keep her as entertained at home! I will be forever grateful to the whole team for caring for my daughter and being so patient with her.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means so much to us all!
The nursery staff are fantastic and they have been very understanding when me and my partner split up. I knew my child was always safe and happy. Fantastic nursery!
Thank you so much for completing the review and for your lovely comments!
Staff go above and beyond for the children. My child has shown me they love nursery by running in each day, they are learning more and more and becoming more confident. Some staff can look miserable when you walk into a room which makes you feel uncomfortable and want to get out as soon as you can. It is quite expensive for the day/week.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review for our nursery. As a nursery we do aim to provide the best possible care for all the children, all of the time. As mentioned to you we do have an open door policy and we do encourage parents to come and speak to the management team should there be...
A wonderful nursery, couldn't ask for more. The staff really care for the children which is lovely to see especially when having feedback on the day's events on collection. Retention of staff is good which means your children get to develop a wonderful relationship with them. Loads of fun and learning, and printed photos of children along with their artwork is so valuable. Good location and outdoor space. Highly recommended.
Thank you for competing the review and the kind words you have written.
Absolutely fantastic nursery with caring and committed staff. My daughter loves attending this nursery and as a first-time mother, it is lovely knowing that the staff here go that extra mile daily for her to feel happy and safe.
Thank you for your lovely review and your kind words.
The staff are so friendly and approachable. They go out of their way to support my son with some possible special needs and it is obvious they all adore him. My son has attended this nursery since he was 11 months old and has always been very well cared for.
Thank you for your lovely review and positive feedback.
Absolutely wonderful nursery. They really know my son and his individual personality and quirks, which makes me feel very comfortable leaving him there. They make a great effort to organise engaging and relevant activities ie Jubilee party, and are flexible to adapt the schedule with weather etc. My son has developed in terms of writing, counting etc but also confidence around other children and social skills, since starting at The Croft.
Thank you for your lovely review and for the kind words you have written.
Great nursery and great staff - would highly recommend it. My daughter learnt so much from there and they always keep you updated with loads of pictures to remember the memories. I wouldn't take her anywhere else - if I could give more stars, I would.
Thank you for taking the time to review the nursery and for the lovely comments!
Amazing nursery, fab staff. All three of my children came here. Wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff were amazing and treat the children like family. There is such a homely environment in this nursery.
Thank you for taking the time to review our nursery and for the kind words you have written.
My son has been attending The Croft Nursery for over two years now and the care and welfare is exceptional. Every single member of staff is friendly and welcoming and I can see the amazing relationships between my son and all staff. He looks forward to attending and is always talking about his friends, staff and the things he has been doing throughout the day, this provides confidence and reassurance when leaving him. My son is also at the stage to start potty training and staff have been fantastic in assisting with this. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you very much for completing the review. Lovely to hear the positive feedback!
My daughter loves the Croft nursery, she has made lots of friends whilst she has been there. The staff are friendly and will help parents in meeting their children's needs/development stages. It is a very friendly, warm environment. I know that my daughter is safe and well looked after, which is the main worry for every parent.
Thank you so much for the review and your kind words about our nursery!

Meet the Team (1)
I have worked at The Croft since November 1990, working with children of all ages. Over the years, I have progressed from nursery nurse to nursery manager and have had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of children and their families.
I manage an experienced management team plus nursery nurses who are all qualified. All the staff undertake additional training every 3 years, such as Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding and Food Safety.
The nursery employs a cook who provides a well-balanced diet on a day-to-day basis, using fresh meat, vegetables and fruit. All dietary requirements are catered for.
I am delighted the nursery has been rated OUTSTANDING by Ofsted in September 2023, so proud of all my hard-working staff!
