Nature Trails Day Nursery

My daughter has attended Nature Trails Day Nursery since she was ten months old. From the moment she joined, the staff have made every effort to make her feel settled and me feel confident in her care. There is excellent communication, friendly staff and a wide range of facilities. It’s a beautifully presented nursery and they engage the children in a wide range of activities. My daughter loves the meal choices and is always happy to go in each morning. In short, I thoroughly recommend this nursery and I’m so happy my daughter attends Nature Trails Day Nursery.

My daughter started going to nature trails in September 2020. We were naturally quite apprehensive about her settling in however, the nursery staff were very welcoming and courteous with all our questions and requests. My little one has settled in very well. She got quite attached to her first key worker which was a very good sign. We look forward to the regular pictures and updates that are put on the parents' app. The nursery is adhering to a (Covid) safe pick and drop scheme. Overall we couldn't be happier with Nature Trails.

Nature trails is such a lovely nursery from the farmhouse style of the building, lovely wooden cabin outside preschool classroom, great outside play areas, forest school, linked working farm, growing their own vegetables, in house chef and just really happy children and caring, attentive staff. An online system for great communication. My little boy absolutely loves it and loves going and is always so excited. He has come on a lot with his speech and communication and general skills from attending here.

It's a lovely nursery and my child will definitely be there until he starts school.

My son joined the Nursery in the ladybird room in Sept ’20 when he was 15 months. We have seen a remarkable change in his social skills. Due to lockdown, he hadn’t had much interaction with adults or children other than us (his parents ). He settled in well after his first month and he has transformed into a little social butterfly. Chatty and ever ready to greet new faces when previously he would wail at the sight of a new face. I tremendously appreciate the effort of the Nursery staff to get to know him and us too. Would highly recommend this Nursery.

Great nursery with brilliant facilities. The staff are extremely caring and professional, and my son (now 2.5years, started at 1year) has been very happy here. He has learned a lot and has benefitted greatly from his time at the nursery.

Sending my boys to Nature Trails is by far the best decision I have ever made. There isn't another setting on this scale that is so well run, maintained and offers so much to the children. The staff are always happy and friendly too. Our boys have been there for just over 12 months, and watching how much they have learnt and grown has been phenomenal! I couldn't speak highly enough of Nature Trails, and you only have to go and view the setting to see how much they put into the children.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

I would also like to note how exceptional their Covid procedures have been. Not once have I been led to question whether or not they put their children and their staff's safety first. I would definitely recommend Nature Trails as a safe and sanitary childcare environment.

My daughter is currently in her pre-school year and thoroughly enjoys her days within the setting. It is lovely to hear her so excited to share her experiences and to see how her confidence has grown to show such love for those who look after her. A wonderful setting for children to thrive and develop.

Nature Trails is an excellent nursery. My child started at 6-months (now 18-months) and from day one, the staff have been so understanding, nurturing and supportive. The staff (including management and administration) are so friendly and welcoming. I visited the nursery 3-times before confirming, not because I was concerned, but because my child was 6-months. They were totally accommodating, patient and receptive to everything. The nursery workers clearly enjoy and are very good at what they do, developing good relationships with children and an abundance of activity. My child loves going to nursery and leaps into her keyworkers arms - so reassuring, warming and clearly reflective of her time there. They monitor development, provide updates and photos, and good handovers that reassure us as parents - even during this hard time. I am confident in safety measures and communications re Covid. Selecting the right nursery is a very individual choice, but I can’t rate Nature Trails highly enough.

The work done over the Covid 19 pandemic has been brilliant as well. Communication with parents is second to none, and I have confidence that my child is safe.

My daughter started at Nature Trails in October 2020, I was worried about how she would settle into a new nursery, especially given all of the current issues related to COVID. All of the staff have been brilliant and could not have been more helpful, she has been very well cared for, and the transition to a new setting was very smooth. The procedures and policies in place to ensure everyone's well-being work very well, and the communications I receive via the app and the newsletters really give me peace of mind that she's happy and that they are doing their utmost for the children, staff and parents in these really challenging times.

I would thoroughly recommend this nursery to any parents. So happy we chose Nature Trails for both children.

I couldn’t be happier with Nature Trails. My daughters have both settled in so well. The activities they partake in look fabulous, and the range of meals they eat are brilliant. We have had lovely experiences with the staff we have seen and met at handover. Would highly recommend!

My son visited the nursery for a preschool year and we were very happy. He loved his teachers, he made new friends. They have a lot of space for outside play, which was very important to us. The only drawback was lacking communication between nursery staff themselves and with parents. But they were always easy to get in touch with and trying to accommodate any requests. The difficult time after pandemic lockdown I think they withstood very well. They were very accommodating to parents and as diligent as they possibly could in nursery settings of groups of 4-year-olds.

My eldest daughter has attended Nature Trails since she was fourteen months old. She is now due to start school in September. I can not praise the staff at Nature Trails enough! I have seen my daughter grow through the years at Nature Trails, her confidence has increased, she has made lovely friendships with other children and the staff and ultimately I now see her as a little girl ready for school - thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff. It’s an all-round team effort, with lovely nutritious meals cooked by on-site kitchen staff. I’m always told that my children ask for seconds! Management are always on hand to answer any questions that may arise. All in all sending my daughter to Nature Trails was the best decision we made! Keep up the excellent work Nature Trails!!

The staff make sure that all children take part in lots of fun games. They have all been very supportive my little one transitioning into nursery and we are very grateful.

I can’t recommend Nature Trails enough. I had never left my 10-month-old twins with anyone before and the staff reassured me so much. The girls were initially apprehensive but straight away they were joining in with the other children. The staff have got to know them individually and understand their specific needs, likes and dislikes. They send me regular updates and photos so I feel involved in their day to day activities and know what they have been up to. They have both developed to much since joining the nursery over the last month, one even smiles and waves me off every morning, so happy to be left with her key worker! The other is still slightly unsure about being left, but gets lots of cuddles and comfort from her key worker and within minutes is enjoying her time with the adults and her peers. I feel so assured they are in the best care and will enjoy themselves to the max.

My son has had 3 very happy years here with wonderful staff and made great friends. He is outside as much as possible and I always know he will have done something fun and interesting on my return. I have always felt he is safe and cared for here.
