Keele University Day Nursery Reviews (41)
Over all time Keele University Day Nursery has 41 reviews.
Keele Day Nursery is a brilliant place for children. My daughter attended for three years and my son for one. Nursery gave them a fantastic start in life and I'm so grateful our children had the opportunity to attend.
Each day they have a variety of activities which the children love. They also get to spend a lot of time outside.
The care and love that the staff provide means that the children cannot wait to go and sometimes, they do not want to come home!
Many happy memories for parents and children.
Thank you for your lovely comments
I have 2 children who attend the nursery and they provide excellent care. Both my children love it and even run down the corridor to the room. Feedback is provided after every session and they are always on hand if I need advice.
It’s a fantastic nursery, the environment is really nice with the outside areas and all of the activities they do with the children such as growing fruit and veg, flowers, etc. is brilliant. Everything they do with the children is getting them well prepared for school but in a really fun way. When our daughter started school in September 2018, several comments were made with regard to how well she has adjusted to school life and we believe this is thanks to the wonderful staff at Keele Nursery.
Our daughter has made so many lovely friends and we were sad to leave Keele after it was such a big part of our lives. It’s great that she now goes back during school holidays and will do for as long as possible.
Thank you for a lovely review.
In my experience, it has always provided excellent care and the staff have been absolutely amazing. It is very well managed and any concerns that you do have are swiftly addressed and you are welcome to pop into her office and have a chat anytime if you feel the need. The lady on reception is also amazing and she is very knowledgeable and helpful.
The staff at Keele Day Nursery take care to accommodate the needs of the individual children and take into account their individual interests when planning activities. The activities and menu are varied and I feel my daughters have a good time here.
Parents are well informed via regular Tapestry updates about your child specifically and a regular newsletter about what is happening at the nursery in general.
Thank you for a lovely review.
Firstly, by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, especially their understanding of leaving your child in their care and secondly by the wonderful access to outside space!
The security of access in and out of the building was very reassuring too.
The settling in process was perfect and more for parents than children, but I was never made to feel silly for my worries.
Of course, I needn’t have any worries, my little girl loved going to nursery, playing with the toys and chatting with the staff.
There were always lots of activities and seasonal activities as well as parent updates through the online system.
It was a brilliant three years and we were sad to leave but have also made use of the Klub House in school holidays!
Thank you for your kind words.
My daughter has attended Keele from the age of two and has enjoyed and thrived within her time at the nursery. Staff are lovely and very approachable as well as the manager. My son will also be going to the same nursery very soon and I would recommend this nursery to all those with young children.
Thank you for your kind words.
A truly wonderful nursery - a fantastic team in an excellent setting, the perfect combination to support the development and more importantly the happiness of my boys.
Both my boys, who are very different in nature, have attended Keele Nursery since they were one year old. One has an underlying health condition. Both have thrived at the nursery and really enjoyed attending. The team provide a flexible approach that works for each individual child. Based on our experience I have recommended the nursery at least four of my friends.
Thank you for a lovely review.
Keele University Day Nursery was recommended to me by a couple of friends and I would definitely recommend it. My daughter started at the nursery a few months ago and she has settled in really well mainly due to the staff who have all been fantastic and very supportive. Everyone is very caring, professional and really friendly. The facilities are very modern and clean and there always seems to be a lovely atmosphere. Apart from having lots of fun, my daughter is always learning new skills and seems to be progressing very well in all aspects. I love getting the regular updates and pictures of my daughter's activities on the online portal, she is always doing something new. Considering the size of the nursery, it doesn't feel as big as it is as the staff including the manager are very personable and have the greatest attention to detail. It has been a big weight off my shoulders going back to work knowing my daughter is content and extremely happy at nursery.
A big thank you to everyone!
Thank you for a lovely review.
I am very satisfied with the Keele University Day Nursery. My children attended the nursery and also the school break club house. Generally, the service was excellent. The building, the gardens, the resources are all excellent. The staff are very friendly, reliable, knowledgeable and helpful.
Thank you for your kind words.
Amazing nursery! Clean, friendly, open and bright, fantastic staff! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery! My child has settled in beautifully with the help and support and caring nature of the staff. Thank you!
Thank you for your lovely words.
The staff are absolutely fantastic and they very well lead by the manager, she runs a tight ship and it shows. I always feel very proud to recommend this nursery. My children being here allowed me to go back into work and not worry and I will always be very grateful of that.
Thank you for a lovely review.
I have frequently recommended this nursery. My child loves it. He has so much fun, has lots of creative inspiration, and learns too. They do a great job, making learning numbers or the alphabet fun, and he's also learned to say please, thank you, and tidied after themselves. The staff are friendly and considerate.
Thank you for your kind words.
I have used this nursery for both my sons, one has now gone to school. The facilities, service and staff are first class and my children have progressed so well thanks to all the staff. It is such a nice environment on the Keele University campus, the nursery manager is brilliant. We visited other nurseries when looking and none of them compared to the whole package that Keele Nursery provides. The learning environment is great and getting notifications on the app whilst you are at work is lovely to see what the children get up to.
Thank you for a lovely review.
Not only do I get a daily report upon collection, I also have an online portal to log in daily where there are reassuring photos of my child having fun doing different activities and a report on how each activity helps the development of my child.
The staff are all very caring and trustworthy.
Thank you for your kind words.
She has enjoyed her time in each classroom getting to know the different staff, making new friends, learning new activities, having fun and being happy!
Staff are lovely and approachable, very informative and keep you up to date with your child's progress. A good professional and well-managed team.
My daughter has made so much progress, she is keen to learn and loves sharing with us what she has learnt at nursery. She has learnt to care, share and is encouraged to be polite and respectful. Her confidence has grown and she is a happy little individual. The nursery has played a big part in helping her become who she is today.
She will be leaving soon to go to school and we as a family appreciate all the nursery has provided her and us with and will be sad when the time comes for her to leave.
We would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you Keele Day Nursery.
Thank you for a lovely review.
My son was at Keele University Day Nursery from 9 months till he went to school. The staff and facilities at Keele University day Nursery are amazing, I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting a safe caring environment for their child (so much so my youngest is starting later this year).
Thank you for your lovely words.
Literally can’t imagine a better place to leave my children. Management are very accommodating and an atmosphere of genuine care amongst all staff. It’s a modern, purpose-built space that feels bright and spacious. We feel lucky to have found somewhere that made it so easy to leave our children for the first time.
Thank you for your lovely review.
My little boy has been attending the nursery for fifteen months now and has come on in leaps and bounds. He has an excellent relationship with all the staff he interacts with and I feel he is very well supported every day! He looks forward to seeing his key-worker every day and I am happy he feels safe and secure whilst he is in their care.
Thank you for your kind words.
Both of my children attend Keele Day Nursery and I am so pleased with their progress. They both love attending and I am completely at ease leaving them there. My oldest child has been attending for the last two years and is doing really well. The nursery keep me informed on a daily basis and they are very open. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review.
The carers are key for me, my son spends four days a week at nursery so it’s so important that he likes who is looking after him.
I am always informed should he hurt himself and he is dealt with in the correct manner.
They even go out of their way to help with behavioural issues at home by producing a sticker chart.
There are so many activities for them to do during the day and they do encourage them to use up to date technology on the computer and the big tablet.
I would 100% recommend Keele to anyone that was looking for a nursery.
Thank you for a lovely review.
