Emscote House Day Nursery (Leamington Spa)

As most parents are with choosing a nursery, we were apprehensive and slightly worried about where to pick for our daughter to go. Various parents we had spoken to locally highly recommended Emscote nursery. From the moment we went in the staff were lovely, the place had a lovely feel. Our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time to date and is about to join pre-school there. She has always looked forward to attending each class even when moved up with new teachers. During COVID the nursery has kept in contact and kept us updated.

My son has been at Emscote House for over a year and progressed through a couple of rooms in this time. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff that we have met during his time there - they all know the children inside out, taking time to get to know each of their little personalities. The variety of activities is great and we get thorough updates at the end of each day. They do their fair share of messy play and Outdoor fun and it always amazes me, (particularly knowing my son!), how clean they arrive back at the end of the day! The food looks amazing and healthily balanced. Overall, I know my son absolutely loves it there and the place is outstanding!

My son has been going here since he was 9 months and this nursery is excellent, he really has developed well and Emscote House deserves a lot of credit for this. Their procedures after the COVID crisis have been excellent with the welfare of the children at the heart of it.

The management team are excellent. My daughter has been going for a year. She loves the interaction with other children. The staff have made my child's time at the nursery very enjoyable.

An absolutely fantastic nursery with superb staff who are polite, helpful and dedicated to the children they look after. Very family orientated and adopted a very mature approach to lockdown which put families first. Highly recommend.

Our son has been going to Emscote since he was 10 months old and is now nearly 3. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery and we are very pleased with the way our boy has developed and is continuing to develop. His little sister is starting in November and I’m sure she’ll love it as much as her older brother!

After being away for a few months during lockdown, I was a little nervous about the new procedures and how both my boys would take to it; however I should not have had any of these concerns! As soon as the nursery were advised we would be coming back we were provided with all the appropriate information we needed and tools to help us explain to the children the new procedures in a way they would understand. Although there is now a lot more work involved for all staff, everyone appears to be taking it in their stride to still ensure a happy and relaxed environment for my boys who can't wait to arrive in the morning and are so excited to tell us news of their day in the evenings. I could not recommend Emscote House more, with only one year left for my eldest I know he will be very sad to leave.

I can not recommend Emscote Nursery highly enough. Both of my daughters absolutely love going. All of the staff are professional, kind and caring. All communications are handled efficiently and all policies are clearly laid out. Emscote provides a safe environment for my children for my daughters to thrive.

He has only been there over a month but he loves it and is settling and is coming out of his shell more. Highly recommend, I have visited every nursery in the area and for me this was the best nursery on the market.

In addition, the birthday cake is the best on the planet. I will miss their baking terribly!

I have always found this nursery to be organised and helpful. They have taken very good care of my children and always put the children's needs first. Throughout this pandemic, they have handled the situation exceptionally, been reassuring and always helpful.

My son had attended this nursery since he was 1-year-old. He has just had his second birthday. As every parent does, you consider lots of options when looking at child care for your precious child. On visiting Emscote House I knew this is where we wanted him to go. It just ‘felt’ right. The staff are incredible there. You can tell they love their jobs and the children. My son loves it there and is thriving. He has been back at nursery from the first day the nursery reopened and I must say I am impressed with the lengths the nursery have gone to ensure his health and safety. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emscote House to anyone and everyone who will listen! Thank you for making my sons experience wonderful

I would thoroughly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Emscote House have dealt with these extraordinary times amazingly, putting stringent measures in place so that our son could return during the coronavirus pandemic and in turn we could get back to running our business.

The nursery exceeded my expectations during COVID-19 as I am a key worker. Their communication and attention to detail was flawless. I was a happy customer, but more so now and will always be grateful for the support and care provided during this difficult time. It made the world of difference to me that our daughter was so well cared for. She loved her La Jardin lockdown "Staycation" - great fun! Thank you so much.

Emscote House Day Nursery has surpassed our expectations, especially during recent times. They have shown great flexibility, good communication and support for entertaining/teaching the children throughout. We were very impressed with the video, leaflet and action plans that have been produced in readiness for the return of more children and it is because of these that we have felt confident in sending our four-year-old back who was very excited and happy to be there. We feel like all scenarios have been thought about and the staff have worked hard to ensure this transition runs smoothly. Thank you for all that you do, keep up the good work!

Our son has been attending Emscote since the lockdown as our regular nursery merged with this one. He absolutely loves coming to this nursery! He has been with some of the same staff members as the other nursery and additionally, there are two large outdoor spaces in which he can run and play. Yesterday the children had a 'staycation'. The nursery staff dressed up as though they worked for an airline and printed off boarding passes and 'passports' for the children. They sent him home with a photo postcard of him playing in the paddling pool. It is clear that the staff have put a lot of thought into the children's activities. In addition, he has dietary requirements that have been catered for, and I can always count on the staff to be approachable, friendly and helpful. My husband and I are very pleased that he has settled in nearly instantly and that he enjoys himself here. We are very lucky the staff have been so professional in spite of the virus. Thank you!

Excellent, couldn't be happier. Lovely, kind, caring and welcoming staff. High level of care maintained throughout the COVID-19 crisis.

My daughter has settled so well at Emscote House Day Nursery. She thoroughly enjoys going to nursery and has developed so much since starting. The staff are welcoming, approachable and friendly. The nursery environment offers so much to encourage my daughters learning and she regularly engages in so many exciting activities. Thank you to the wonderful team at Emscote.

If I could entitle this review it would read - Close to Perfect! My son has attended for almost one year and so far so good. I'll start with the not so perfect - admin communication can be hit and miss depending on person and/ or enquiry. Attention to this would be a benefit. Now the good, pretty much everything else. Excellent parent staff cohesion, expert special needs team leader who is very helpful and proactive, amazing chefs - birthday cake was seriously amazing and leftover cake was more popular among guests than the expensive one we purchased. Return to a very happy child at the end of the day, and this is due to the outstanding work of staff and their manager, who is sadly leaving and will greatly be missed. An above-average experience at this nursery. You should all be very proud! Happy New Year and Thank you very much from my son and his mummy.
