Nature Trails Day Nursery

My daughter started here at the age of one and settled in very quickly. The level of care is excellent and I never have to worry if my daughter's being looked after well. The meals are nutritious and carefully planned to take in all dietary requirements. The activities and things they do during the day are planned on a weekly basis. My daughter is blooming into this lovely little person, with exceeding confidence - the nursery has played a key role in her development. Although it's one of the more expensive day nurseries in the area, it's worth it. The new rooms created for 0-3 are absolutely brilliant.

Nature Trails is without a doubt the only Nursery I would put my baby boy in. From the moment we entered for our tour today, we have nothing but praise for the facility and staff. My son has additional needs and the staff have not only taken this in their stride, but they are also extremely proactive in making plans to help his development and manage his ever-changing needs. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting two months ago. Although it is still emotional leaving him each morning, I can drive away knowing that he is in the best care possible and know the staff look after him as if he were their own. I couldn't be happier with Nature Trails and hope our son will continue to thrive for the next four years at the facility (I would travel quite a distance for him to remain there). I can not thank the staff enough, especially his key worker and the other staff in the Caterpillars Room. It really does feel like a big family.

We are extremely pleased with Nature Trails. The staff are very caring and the facilities are excellent. Our son has had a great start to nursery, thank you!

My daughter has settled in well at Nature Trails, with the help of a lovely key worker and a supportive team in the pre-school room. We have been very impressed with the activities put on for the children, which all incorporate educational elements and explore wider themes to help them learn about the world. The food is nutritious and freshly cooked on-site and the outside space is brilliant and made full use of in most weathers. I would thoroughly recommend it to friends and family.

Really friendly staff and great confidence in how my child is cared for and helped to develop. We like how much interaction we get with the management and carers.

My daughter spent four wonderful years at Nature Trails where she was taken care of and taught so many new things. She particularly loved all of her outdoor sessions from puddle jumping and walking to the woods when she was in Acorns to Forest School in Willow. The outdoor space is a real asset.

Both of our children have attended Nature Trails and we have been extremely happy with the care they were given. The staff are very supportive and loving. The nursery environment is exceptional, especially the outdoor areas.

Thank you!

I have only one learning point which is that I felt in the first term he started, that too much emphasis was put on independence and not enough on nurture. I understand the need to get them up and running as quickly as possible but I felt a little more thought to his integration and consideration of his emotional needs at this time would have made for a smoother transition. He got there in the end and was very happy with you overall, especially once he moved up to Willow.

I can not rate the entire team at Nature Trails highly enough. They have made the settling in process an absolute joy and kept us informed of everything, every step of the way. There is not a single thing I could fault the team on, they are friendly, helpful, caring and most of all are brilliant at what they do. It is so wonderful to walk into somewhere where everyone enjoys the work they are doing.

My daughter went to Nature Trails Day Nursery and thoroughly enjoyed her time there. The staff are helpful and supportive and the facilities very good.

My children have enjoyed being friends with you all.

Great nursery in an excellent setting giving our child plenty of opportunity to explore outdoors. We are very happy with our child's keyworker who has been nice and helpful throughout.

My son has settled very quickly after only starting in January 2019 at 19 months. This is due to all staff taking an interest and making an effort to get to know him. It's great to see and hear the activities he has taken part in. They are always well thought out and go with the children's interests wherever possible, they are outside which my son loves. He looks forward to going now every day.

Overall the nursery is a great place compared to others in Rugby, so limited choice. Age appropriate learning, the sensory, behavioural standard is very high. Our child has come in leaps and bounds since he has started. His buddy and co-buddy always have his best interests at heart and we thank them for their caring attitude and dedication.

Nature Trails provides the children with excellent early years foundation before beginning school. They fully prepare children for the smaller, yet essential, everyday tasks like putting on their own shoes, coats and clothing, using scissors, tidying up after themselves and eating nicely. Circle time is a key part of the children's development, promoting listening skills. They also foster an early love of reading, which is excellent.

Really happy with care provided. Key worker is excellent and our daughter is very happy here. Management/organisation feels a little disorganised, could definitely be improved. Would like to see more pictures in real time (or at least the same day) of what our daughter is getting up to. App could be great if used daily.

Our daughter has been at Nature Trails for just over a year from when she was 7 months old, she looks forward to going every week and we feel confident leaving her there while at work. We are happy with the care received so much so we recommended it to our family and her baby cousin now attends the same days.

I have been using Nature Trails for over 5 years now and it has been worth every penny. Nature Trails has ensured both my children reach their potential before starting school which sets them up for success long term. My son was a challenging baby and the staff really helped me overcome these challenges. I attend the Parents in Partnership meetings every term and it's easy to see why the nursery is such a success.

Nature Trails Day Nursery is an excellent setting. A great balance of indoor activities and learning with outdoor experiences and forest school. My daughter loves attending, as did my son. The staff make it and are excellent in the care and support they offer.
