Overall Experience

We have been blown away by the support that Nature Trails Day Nursery has continued to give to our two girls. Our eldest is just about to go to school and the juncture has really made us reflect on the impact that the nursery has had on her and it’s just huge. We will never be able to quite find the words to express how grateful we are.

Overall Experience

This is the second time round we have used Nature trails with our children. All of the staff and team are lovely and very caring. They support the children so well and genuinely care for them. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting there and would like to go every day if he could.

Overall Experience
Both children attended this nursery and we always had great support for our eldest before he left for school. The staff were very friendly and helpful and both our kids loved it when they were there.

The only slight feedback I would have would be towards the inconsistency of child updates and the car park being a nightmare.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to Nature Trails since she was nine months old and it never ceases to amaze me how brilliant the staff are. They are friendly, polite and go above and beyond for the kids.
The development I have seen since my daughter started is wonderful. She often talks about her key workers at home and has a big grin on her face when she does so.
All in all, a wonderful place to be for babies and children alike.

I cannot recommend them enough!

Overall Experience

I am glad I decided to send my son to this nursery. He loves going into nursery each time even though he’s there 8am- 5:30pm which is a long day for a young child. He loves cuddling his key worker and has a lovely bond with her and a lot of the staff there. The facilities are great indoors and out. The genuine care for the children is amazing and they are always looking at ways to support their development. My mother in law works in a primary school and says the medical care and learning reports they do are exemplary.

Overall Experience

Great nursery. Both my kids love it there. The staff can accommodate any special requirements that children have. The kids get to do a lot of outdoor activities and are allowed to get pretty messy, which I personally think is a great thing. The only challenge I have faced is parking during drop off and pick up.

Overall Experience
My son goes to preschool, it's a beautiful nursery with some talented, helpful, polite and always smiling staff. My son has learnt a lot after joining the nursery and keeps learning new things every day. He is always happy in the nursery and willing to be there every day. The nursery is so spacious with a lovely garden and forest school for walks.

Though this nursey is not the cheapest option, in my opinion, it is worth it.

Overall Experience

The Nursery is set in such beautiful surroundings. We are always greeted with smiles, although that could just be for our son! We have only just started at the Nursery but the staff in Caterpillars are wonderful, always happy to help and always listen. The more time goes on and as we get to know more of the staff in older rooms we feel ever more confident that our son will grow to be an independent little boy. The rooms seem well stocked with resources, each catering to individual age groups. The gardens are huge too, and so many different areas. We were even sent home with some lunch for our son one day as he fell asleep over that time, and it's things like that that make all the difference. I'm really happy that our son is able to come here. Big thank you to all the staff that care for our family and we hope to get to know more of them soon!

Review from Samantha M (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is my second child I've sent to Nature Trails and can honestly say I wouldn't dream of sending them anywhere else! What an amazing environment and start to learning life they provide. Every single member of staff in all of the rooms both my daughters have been in are truly amazing and a credit to the nursery. The manager and the whole team truly care about your child and take the time to get to know them so you feel so assured you are leaving them in the best hands. My eldest daughter had the most incredible four years which really gave her the best start to school life I could have hoped for and my youngest is blossoming and learning so much. My youngest struggles with separation anxiety and drop-offs can sometimes turn into upset but her brilliant key worker and the manager have worked with me to ensure this is as stress-free as possible, they really are great with her. The communication is great as are the events they hold for the nature trails kids and family. I 100% recommend this nursery.

My son moved from Bumblebees to preschool at the beginning of September and his confidence and progression have developed beautifully. The team are great and always go above and beyond to ensure my son is settled and happy.

Overall I would highly recommend Nature Trails Day Nursery as it is like home from home and they always have each child's interests and well-being at heart.

Overall Experience

My child started at Nature Trails Day Nursery in September 2022. He only goes for two days of the week but since starting he has gone from a shy child, not wanting to interact with others, into a confident and bright boy who loves to interact with others. I'd highly recommend every parent send their child here, the staff are amazing and always greet you and remember every child's name.

Review from Terri-Anne S (Mother of Child) published on 27 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My eldest son started with Nature Trails in October 2018 and left to start school last month in August. My youngest son, had his last session last week after deciding to move him (purely for convenience). My experience has spanned four years, two children and every room with encounters with most staff working there. I cannot recommend the nursery enough. The management greets you at the door every morning with a huge smile. They say hello to you and your child personally, I always find it amazing that they know everyone's names, but they do! Aesthetically, the building, gardens and rooms are beautiful and well resourced with everything you would expect from an early years learning environment, and more. I have only ever witnessed care, compassion, understanding, kindness and energy from the staff working there. Sports day and Pre School graduation are personal highlights. Memories of the amazing staff will last with me forever. Cannot thank you enough for helping our little two!

Overall Experience

Our time at Nature Trails Day Nursery is coming to an end soon, as my son is off to school, and we are all so sad to be saying goodbye to everyone. From the moment you walk into the reception you are greeted at the door by happy smiley staff, the manager and her team are amazing, there has never been anything that the management team hasn't been able to do, from baking an egg free cake for my sons birthday to putting on fantastic events such as sports day, graduations and plays. In the entire time we have been at Nature Trails we have never had reason to complain, our son has been well cared for, loved, challenged and above everything, he's been extremely happy. The staff in his room have been consistent and excellent, and he has an amazing key adult, she is brilliant and he will miss her the most. The facilities are second to none, as is the food in terms of quality and variety. This nursery is amazing and if you are thinking of sending your child to it, don't hesitate it is excellent in every way!

We are just coming to the end of our journey at Nature Trails Day Nursery who have successfully prepared both our children for their lives ahead. They both enjoyed every minute from 6 months old to primary school age. The staff are great, facilities are great - can't complain at all. Will miss the place, although will try to come back for the excellent summer fair next year!

Great management team, staff listens and keen to help when feedback is provided. Eldest came to nature trails and now second daughter is there too. Would highly recommend.

They held a summer event for Jubilee, which allowed parents to get to know the natural surroundings for their children. It was a fab success. Thank you

Great Nursery, our child enjoys going and excels in the environment.

Lovely staff, kind and attentive.

All-in costs make it very simple and easy.

Not the cheapest but in our opinion the best, and worth every penny.
