Extremely friendly staff and always feel reassured when our son is here.
My little boy started nursery after Covid-19 calmed down in October 2021. I was very nervous about him going but being the outgoing little boy he is, he loved nursery from the beginning. One staff member took him on his settling in days and has obviously made him feel so welcome there as he always speaks of her. His carer who my son also talks about, says he plays with them and likes them very much. He absolutely loves nursery, he loves to be around other children and thrives in this environment. He loves water, cars and trucks and tells me most days that he's played with these, even though I'm sure he doesn't! I'm very happy with how my son is getting along here and I love to hear about his day.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is appreciated!
We never knew what my son had been up to that day, he hasn’t come home with one piece of work in his time in that room. We never receive any updates on his milestone or development. The only communication was the monthly invoice email when they wanted their fees paying.
He would come home in different nappies that we have provided the nursery with. Who’s they are and where ours got used. No idea.
We also later found out that week, that my son and the other kids never even got the cake in the end anyway and the staff ate it! I am beyond disgusted.
We decided to pull our son from this setting and we gave the nursery the required notice period as per our contractual agreement, however as I had escalated the issues to the area manager, we weren’t required to full fill this and my son only did 2 weeks before he moved to a different nursery.
If these could not be collected together in preparation for this last day then there is seriously something not right with the nursery.
No work to show for his time there.
No photos of the ‘fun’ he had.
No development checks of his milestones or achievements.
Heartbreaking as a parent. Concerning as an educator, myself.

My little boy is of a sensitive nature and can be misunderstood; I know that Hanford Day nursery always ensured his needs were cared for whilst ensuring that any incorrect behaviour was highlighted to him and similarly other little characters.
He loved attending so much and built up a circle of friends with both his carers and peers. He even asked to come in when he was clearly poorly which, only demonstrates just how cared for he felt and still likes to visit his teachers when we drop-off and pick-up his sibling now he's at school.
She equally enjoys nursery and is a completely different character to her brother however, I know that she is cared for and is also corrected whenever an occasion arises taking into account her uniqueness.
Leaving a child or children with an organisation can be very upsetting and I remember the care and consideration that went into reassuring me!
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hanford Day Nursery as a caring and nurturing environment!
