Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery, both my girls loved attending and came home with many things they had made and learnt about and the staff are great. Thanks to three members of staff in particular and the other girls who are amazing and caring and form a special bond with each child.

Overall Experience

My daughter started coming to this nursery when it was called Polly's. She is still here and I can honestly say it’s an amazing nursery and not much has changed at all, except they are delivering sessions like forest garden and music sessions which she absolutely loves! She is flourishing and I’m so happy with the way she is cared for - thank you all.

Review from Jade C (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little girl has been at the nursery for about 6 months. She only goes one day a week but she has settled in so well. The staff are fab and they get to know the children very well. They are very encouraging of the children's milestones and they make sure they take photos/ videos of child milestones. My daughter is so happy to go to nursery and reaches out to the nursery staff on arrival. I love the fact that all the children in the nursery seem to know each other. As I’ve seen an older child out of the nursery he came up and knew my daughter. It was lovely that they all know each other. It’s a very homely nursery and I’m so happy we sent my daughter here.

Wonderful nursery. Staff have given an amazing standard of care to my little girl. I have recommended this nursery to friends in hopes that their children also get to experience the fun, love and learning that is provided by all staff at Nurtured @ Tunstall. One lady is wonderful, and I am glad she is my daughter’s key worker! Wonderful communication.

My 3-year-old daughter attends Nurtured @ Tunstall, and she is thriving in an environment that provides exceptional learning, care and facilities. The inclusion of extracurricular activities such as Forestry, Spanish and park visits adds invaluable richness to her experience. Nurtured's commitment to holistic development shines through, making it an outstanding choice for her early education journey.

Wonderful nursery. Great staff. Fab addition of an app so you can see what they've eaten/slept, etc, throughout the day and plenty of photos shared to view. My son loves going and gets along with all the staff.

Overall Experience

My son attends nursery and I absolutely love how he has progressed with his learning. It’s lovely to see what he does throughout the day through the app and I feel like we, as parents, are being involved in decisions in regards to our children. Well done on the changes that we are seeing. Absolutely amazing staff. It’s lovely to be greeted with a smile when dropping the kids off. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Overall Experience
My child loves going to nursery. I am given updates via the app throughout the week of the activities being done. I feel like I am part of her journey.
Since going to nursery my child’s speech, listening and writing skills have come on leaps and bounds.

The children are given a variety of home cooked food. The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My daughter speaks fondly of them all.

Overall Experience

Polly's Day Nursery is fantastic! My daughter loves attending there and has come on leaps and bounds since she started there. Polly's Day Nursery provides a lovely, homely feel and my daughter always has a great time there. All the staff are wonderful and ensure that my daughter is well looked after. She receives gold standard care and the staff always make an effort with my daughter with her day to day activities and she always brings something home which she has made at the Nursery. I always recommend Polly's Day Nursery to people and tell them how brilliant it is!

Both of my children attend Polly's day nursery and have come on in leaps and bounds. My son comes home excitedly telling me what he has been learning and does things at home which I know he has learnt at nursery. The nursery is very homely and the staff are all dedicated and supportive.

Overall Experience

A lovely, small, friendly nursery with experienced and caring staff. Both of my children love going here, they have lots of fun but are clearly being supported in their development too. The children seem to have a really good variety of activities. In addition to the secure garden, the nursery is located in a park and the children are regularly taken there for walks.
