Overall Experience
This nursery is outstanding. All 3 of my children have attended over the past 9 years. The owners are really lovely people who genuinely care about the progress and well being of your child.
The staff are excellent - many are long serving (which I think is unusual in this industry) and all are pleasant, professional and well trained.

I have recommended this nursery to many work colleagues and wouldn't hesitate in recommending again.

Review from Susan T (Grandmother of Child) published on 2 September 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Consistently good communication between the nursery staff and home, offered verbally, also via a daily sheet and best of all, the tapestry. Our granddaughter has really enjoyed the activities, which despite the length of time she has attended, do not seem to have been repeated. We loved the idea of celebrating Notting Hill Carnival at nursery, along with the new garden and play equipment, which the rainy weather still didn't spoil. The interaction via the tapestry, with staff commenting on comments and activities of what we have done at home is excellent. They have even followed up with questions for her at nursery to embed the learning at home.

Well done to all staff, we shall be sorry that she will be moving up to school soon, but feel sure that she has been well prepared, socially and emotionally for transition.

Review from Dawn M (Mother of Child) published on 24 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Ashleigh since 18months old and is extremely happy there. When she started she was quiet, especially in large groups and with the help of the staff she is now very confident. The facility is superb especially the new inventors room and provides lots of activities for the children. Knowing your child is happy and settled at nursery makes all the difference to me as a parent. The online tapestry tool is excellent and the staff give regular feedback and share what the children have been doing. This is a brilliant way for me to know what activities my daughter has been doing and I can add comments from home too. I feel Ashleigh Nursery has fully prepared my daughter for school and I would not hesitate to recommend to any other parent.

Review from Melissa P (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy attends 2 full days per week, he is currently in the Explorers room (babies). The staff are fabulous, with over 20 years combined service at the nursery I was extremely confident that he was in good hands. They are very attentive to all of his care needs and to mine as a parent also. As an early years teacher I am really impressed with the educational experiences he is exposed to, his electronic learning journal allows me access to his nursery day from my iphone and I can keep in regular touch with his key person about any new learning moments! We shared his first steps together and they supported him in gaining his confidence! Now there's no stopping him! The room is set out lovely with beautiful wooden furniture. It is clean and safe. They have a wonderful covered outdoor area which is a little decked area and then a grassed area with toys and equipment for physical development. There's also a sleep room and he loves falling asleep to the classical music we play at home!

I couldn't ask for any better and soon he's moving to the next room...I can't wait!
