As a first time mother Iv felt at ease throughout the whole process. From start to finish Iv felt welcomed and supported. I can't thank the team enough. My little boy is having the best time and already thriving. A huge thank you from us, already. We are only one month in. You guys really deserve a medal for all the work you do.
From the moment we stepped into Southlands, we knew it was the right place for our son, and we are so glad we trusted that instinct. He's been attending for just over a year now, and all the staff are incredible. With over 100 years of combined experience, their expertise shines through in everything they do. As a naturally anxious mum, I've never once felt uneasy leaving my son there. My son arrives with a smile and comes home happy every single time. Knowing he's spending his day somewhere he feels safe and happy is a wonderful feeling. We couldn't have asked for a better start to his early years journey.
Thank you for the glowing review. It is lovely to see your whole family arrive with a smile each day your Son is with us. It is evident how happy he is at our creche, which means the world to us x
Southlands Creche is a small friendly, warm, welcoming nursery who go above and beyond to make the little ones day fun, educational and exciting. Each week they do a number of activities and even days out on the mini bus! We get updated with photos, newsletters, seasonal activities, fancy dress days, food rota menus which have a large number of various meals to suit all children's dietary requirements. But overall the staff at the creche are always joyful and approachable regardless of what group they are based in they always welcome you!
Thank you for your review that shares great examples of the activities that we offer and also our communications with parents and families. I think the team will love the feedback and be extra joyful x x
Super nursery. Very welcoming and friendly staff. So lucky to have my girls attend there. Lots of lovely activities and opportunities with outings on the bus. The food provided is out of the world, lots of variety! Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation. We are lucky to share in your Daughter's early years experience and it is not all about the food but it is an amazing part of what we celebrate at Southlands, so thank you for including this!!
My experience with Southlands nursery has been brilliant. My boys only started in January (however my previous son also attended) but I think the nursery does an excellent job at hosting sessions for them to settle in. They love going to nursery and are happy there. The food, I believe is exceptionally good and I take comfort in knowing they are having a varied diet with lots of dishes while they are there. Their key workers clearly know them well already and adapt their approach to each of them even in this short period of time. The staff in the baby room are good at setting up different tasks and toys for them to play with.
Thank you so much for your feedback, specifically in relation to these early weeks and months as children transition from home to our nursery environment. We spend a great deal of time and thought with settling both parents and children into our settings and for new parents looking for a nursery on this site, it is a really important perspective to share. Thank you again x
I was really apprehensive about her starting because she's a bit of a koala baby, but she happily goes in each day.
The ladies are superwoman! I have no doubt my daughter is in the best and they generally care about her.
They serve a wide variety of foods and my daughter eat things that she wouldn't even touch at home!
Activities available are varied. They take my daughter swimming every week which is a rarity for nurseries to offer. If she's not swimming she's going out on the bus to local parks, farms, museums etc.
Thank you to everyone who works at Southlands providing such a wonderful nursery setting my children.
Thank you for sharing your experience of being supported to separate from your little "koala baby". We appreciate the level of trust that you put in our team and we are privileged to witness the positive results of the relationships built in our creche with the children, parents and families. It has been a true pleasure to share these experiences with you and thank you again for the feedback.
What truly makes Southlands special is the genuine connection staff build with the children. Every child is clearly known as an individual, and relationships are formed with warmth, patience, and care. The children feel safe, happy, and valued, which is evident in their confidence and enthusiasm.
Love and kindness are at the heart of everything Southlands does. The staff show real dedication, creating a nurturing atmosphere where children are supported emotionally as well as academically. It is a place where children truly thrive, and where parents can feel completely reassured about the care their child receives.
I am so very grateful for the time taken to complete this genuine and thorough review. I am really proud to hear such feedback on behalf of the whole team. Thank you x
The staff are absolutely amazing, providing a nurturing environment backed by a fantastic curriculum. Communication with parents is seamless, which provides such peace of mind. What really sets this nursery apart is the rich and diverse programme; the children are frequently out in the minibus, and the inclusion of activities like swimming is a wonderful bonus.
I would highly recommend Southlands to any parent looking for a high-quality, engaging, and supportive nursery.
Many thanks for the informative review that reflects the values behind our varied and inclusive curriculum. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this and help other parents searching for local nurseries.
Cracking nursery with a worthy reputation. All staff are experienced friendly amd genuine. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for, which is a quality and safe learning environment, with great food, and varied activities. Overall our toddler loves going and we're very happy with Southlands.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our creche. Amongst other feedback: we love the "cracking nursery" description!
I feel that my child is safe and happy at nursery
Thank you for your review, it is so valuable to have feedback, that we can use to continue to shape our provision.
We couldn't be happier with Southland's nursery. The staff are absolutely amazing, they are so caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's happiness and development.
From the moment you walk through the door, it's clear how much effort and love the team puts into creating a warm, welcoming environment.
The activities and learning opportunities are fantastic, and the overall provision is excellent. Our child comes home happy every day.
We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery and would highly recommend it to any parents looking for a safe, nurturing, and engaging place for their child.
Dear parent, thank you so much for sharing the feedback with such positive recommendations for other parents, which reflects our values of being, safe and nurturing.
This nursery was an absolute top pick for myself and my partner. The atmosphere is 'home away from home', the meals are great, my little girl always eats everything (and more) and the staff are just wonderful with the children. I think all the activities and adventures the children go on are excellent and so enriching. There is clearly a lot of time and effort that goes into the day to day running of the nursery/kindergarten. The children are always so well mannered and happy. Couldn't recommend enough.
Thank you for a beautiful review and capturing the essence of our nursery: good food, great care and lots of adventures!
Our little boy has thrived since joining Southlands, first in the baby room and then moving into the little group downstairs. He talks about the staff and his friends when he's at home and is clearly very well cared for as he has great relationships with all the staff and feels safe and secure. The extra experiences he gets such as weekly swimming and regular trips out of the setting are incredible. He loves going out on the bus and being out in the community, and this enriched curriculum was a major factor for us when deciding on a nursery. The meals and snacks provided are always nutritious and balanced and he loves everything he is offered, often having extra portions! The staff show patience and care always, and we feel very secure and safe in sending our little boy to Southlands. Thankyou for everything you do, it is always noticed and appreciated.
We are so happy with the communication we get from all staff at the crèche. The day to day activities are always so enjoyable for the children, along with the day trips and swimming sessions. We find all staff to be very kind and caring, and take an interest in all of the children.
Southlands Nursery is by far the best Nursery around! My daughter has attended for the last 12 months from the baby room, to the little group and now the big group! She will continue onto Kindergarten too! I feel very happy and safe to leave my little girl in their care. The staff are extremely professional, kind and caring towards all the children. My daughter is learning so much and loves going each and every day. I will always recommend Southlands over and over again!
Thank you for this amazing review!We cherish having your little one to care for and look forward to the years to come at Kindy. We aim to be the best for our parents and our children and your words mean the world to us.
This nursery has a warm, homely environment where children are encouraged to thrive. The staff are nurturing and attentive and the chef menu provides a wide range of exposure to different textures and flavours.
What makes it unique are the endless excursions that offer incredible hands-on learning. The setting is beautiful, calm, and thoughtfully designed with seasonal themes and topics.
We feel so lucky to have secured a place here - there's no other nursery like it!
Wow, thank you for your kind words. We aim to be a home from home for your little one and to hear this kind of review makes it worthwhile.
Southlands is an excellent nursery! The staff are professional and kind and made my child feel welcome and cared for from the beginning; the transition was effortless, and my child has learned so much already and looks forward to going each week! I would happily recommend this nursery!
Excellent nursery! 5-stars! My little girl started in June 2021 and absolutely loves it! All the staff are amazing and go above and beyond as always! I definitely recommend this nursery. My little girl will stay here until kindergarten.
