The Old School Day Nursery & Pre-school

They have recognised his natural abilities and helped to bring these out.

My grandson has enjoyed his time with the nursery. Always talked and got excited over coming.

I have taken care of my grandson for the past 4 years and he has benefitted from all the learning and activities that he has taken part in. Very well done to the school for this.

Attended my son's graduation party. Extra friendly staff as usual, great atmosphere and excellent facilities.

My child has attended nursery here since Oct 2012 and he has thoroughly enjoyed himself. He has grown into an adorable, polite, caring, independent little man. Thank you to all staff who have cared for him over the years.

The staff are friendly and helpful and I feel my son is safe. I don't like the parking, not convenient, people block each other. There are not many outings apart from the small yard outside. It would be good to have day trips. The food is not the best. The ingredients are of a low quality such as "value" ham. The choice should be better with more fruit and vegetables.

My two boys thoroughly enjoy the nursery. The staff are so helpful and tuned into what my boys need. They constantly encourage to be "them" and enjoy their day. Really rate all of the staff, setting and other kids attending.

My son has attended Tommies from a baby and he's now a confident toddler who is thriving at nursery. He loves the outside space and walks to Astley Castle as well as the sensory play and role play that nursery pit a lot of time and effort into.

As a teacher I am impressed with how they cater for all ages. My children thrive and I look forward to hearing their stories.

Very happy with the development of my child and the learning she has had from the nursery. Also the care received and the bonds she has formed shows that the attention given from the staff is excellent.

Whilst this is a small nursery, I have always felt that this is a positive as it has a happy homely feel and the staff really care about and engage with the children. I love the extra special events the nursery organises, the Christmas nativity, charity fun days for the children at the weekend, Halloween sensory party to name but a few. The staff are friendly and responsive, overall the care my daughter receives is excellent and she really seems to enjoy her time there. Thank you.

My child settled straight away and really enjoys coming. He has built a good relationship with his key worker. Staff readily available to talk to parents and complaints/issues dealt with immediately. A range of activities available for the children and events often arranged when parents can get involved. I would like more access to my child's learning journal to see what he has been learning/activities he has completed.

Small but perfectly formed - Tommies Astley is a well run, caring and fun packed nursery. The staff are all excellent at building relationships with the children and ensure the days are packed with educational activities. I was so worried about taking my little girl to nursery. I shouldn't have worried, she loves it!

Great nursery.

Lovely nursery.

My son was not really to used to being left with people who he did not know and this really concerned me. His transition was successful, the staff made me feel so comfortable and allowed me to contact the nursery whenever I needed to. The staff member in the Baby Room was fantastic when finding out about him and his routines and another member of staff in the Baby Room is equally as fabulous in getting to know my son and helping with his development. He has developed rapidly both emotionally and mentally and has formed excellent bonds. He partaken in different forms of play most weeks and the nursery use new bed creative ideas to help stimulate him constantly! He is definitely excited to be left at nursery leaving you feeling as though you have left him with family. He is well cared for, loved and I am informed of every detail, which makes me feel as though I'm not missing out! The manager is fantastic and quietly but efficiently leads her organised team! Thank you for making going back to work an enjoyable experience for both me and my son!

What a lovely nursery, great staff team who care about the children who attend.

It has been lovely to see my shy baby boy turn into a happy confident toddler.

My son has been attending Astley from 9 months old and he is now 4 and due to go to school in September. It is a fab nursery which I would highly recommend, the staff are always friendly and helpful, the manager has made massive improvements since she has been there and all the children always have smiles on there faces. I never have any worries about the care of my child and will definitely use the nursery again I'm the future.
