Both of my children have attended Mary Poppins. My oldest left last summer and continually asks to go visit the ladies, when she was at nursery she had intolerances and staff made sure to cater for this. My youngest is currently in nursery, the staff share information about his day in a professional way and you can see the love and care they have for him and also the love he has for them. Really is a home from home feel and my son is always so excited to go.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! It means so much to us to hear how happy both of your children have been at Mary Poppins.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! It means so much to us to hear how happy both of your children have been at Mary Poppins.
Were delighted that your oldest still asks to come and visit the ladies, that really is the sweetest compliment! Were also so pleased that we were able to support her with her intolerances and make sure she was well cared for during her time with us.
Its wonderful to hear that your youngest is enjoying nursery so much and that you feel well informed about his days with us. Seeing the special bonds between the children and our staff is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. We absolutely love having him with us and seeing his excitement when he arrives!
Thank you for trusting us with both of your children and for your kind words. It truly means the world to the whole Mary Poppins team.
Best wishes,
Mary Poppins Management team.

Choosing this nursery was one of the best decisions we ever made for our son. He started here at 2 years old, and now, as he leaves to start Reception, we couldn't be more grateful for the love, care, and support he has received. The staff have played such an important role in helping him grow into the confident, happy little boy he is today. Thank you for giving him the best start to his learning journey-we will always cherish the wonderful memories. I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly!
Thank you so much for your beautiful review and for your kind words. It has been such a pleasure watching your son grow from a two-year-old into the confident, happy little boy he is today.

Thank you so much for your beautiful review and for your kind words. It has been such a pleasure watching your son grow from a two-year-old into the confident, happy little boy he is today.
We're incredibly proud of everything he has achieved and feel very privileged to have been part of his early learning journey. Your lovely words mean so much to the whole team, and we will certainly miss his smile and seeing him each day.
We wish him the very best as he starts reception and begins this exciting new chapter. We know he will continue to thrive!

Really gone down hill. GDPR not followed. EYFS frameworks not followed and then using emergency services as retaliation when putting in a complaint and a SAR request which was not fulfilled. I have since reported to the relevant authorities.

I have seen such a huge difference in my daughter since starting in the preschool room, her drawing and learning, in general, have just come on massively. Every day she comes home so happy and excited to tell us about her day. The nursery is clean, a lot cleaner than most I’ve seen, organised and most importantly safe. Would highly recommend this nursery.
Mary Poppins is a wonderful nursery where the staff are friendly and you feel safe in the knowledge that your child is happy and well looked after! It feels small and personal, and the staff really know your child as an individual.

They keep you fully up to date on what they have been doing during the day. I cannot recommend it enough. Everyone is lovely.

I've sent two children here from 9 months right through to about to start school, and both have flourished. Mary Poppins Day Nursery provides a safe, stimulating and welcoming setting, where both the children and the staff come across as happy in that environment. Going through the various stages has helped give my children sound social skills and confidence to prepare them for school life. The staff get to know each child personally and understands their individual character traits, so they can respond to their specific needs.
Couldn’t be happier with this nursery - our little one has been going here since he was 10 months (now 3.5 years) and has thrived. He is so loved by everybody there and the staff are brilliant.

Couldn’t be happier with this nursery - our little one has been going here since he was 10 months (now 3.5 years) and has thrived. He is so loved by everybody there and the staff are brilliant. The staff sold this place to us - they use common sense and genuine care rather than policies which make life harder for parents as I found with other nurseries!
In my opinion, the standard of care at Mary Poppins is exceptional. They all take genuine pride in what they do and they really invest time in the children under their care. My two little ones love them all to pieces and it leaves me with a real piece of mind when I know they're being looked after...
In my opinion, the standard of care at Mary Poppins is exceptional. They all take genuine pride in what they do and they really invest time in the children under their care. My two little ones love them all to pieces and it leaves me with a real piece of mind when I know they're being looked after so well. I've always found them really friendly and professional and the children are kept engaged with a wide variety of activities throughout the day. Looking after children is a really tough gig and these guy's make it look easy. I trust them all implicitly and I feel very fortunate to have found such a good nursery. Would highly recommend.

My son has been attending the nursery for over a year now and I have to say the staff have been amazing and so patient with him as he used to have a lot of separation anxiety. Nothing has ever been too much trouble with any of the staff, for example giving medication and helping him with his speech therapy. He has come on so well since starting with his eating and his speech is now amazing, thanks to staff assisting with activities to help that. Everyone is so friendly and I feel at ease when he is there as I know he's happy there. The communication is great, I always know what he's eaten and everything he has done, the meals are always varied and he really likes everything. The outdoor playing area is fantastic, there's so much to do for the children, it really has helped him grow up and start to understand so many things. He's always so chatty about everything he has done that day, I would really recommend this nursery, it will be sad to see him leave this summer.
My daughter has been going to Mary Poppins for about 8 weeks now, she has just turned 1. I was so worried about leaving her at nursery, but the staff have made the transition for me and my daughter so easy. This week we had no tears at drop off, which in just 8 weeks is a true testament to how...
My daughter has been going to Mary Poppins for about 8 weeks now, she has just turned 1. I was so worried about leaving her at nursery, but the staff have made the transition for me and my daughter so easy. This week we had no tears at drop off, which in just 8 weeks is a true testament to how comfortable the staff have made her feel in such a short space of time. I usually call 1 or 2 times a day to see how she is and I am never made to feel a nuisance I am always given a good account of how she is and what she has been up to. My daughter is eating well and since attending nursery has developed so quickly, she is learning something new every day. If we ask a request the staff are happy to help, for example, we are trying to minimise the dummy in the day and the staff are happy to work on this with us. So I guess I can finish off saying, that so far so good and as long as my daughter is happy then so am I.
I would highly recommend Mary Poppins, my 2nd daughter started age 6 months and is due to leave shortly for big school.

I would highly recommend Mary Poppins, my 2nd daughter started age 6 months and is due to leave shortly for big school. The decision to choose Mary Poppins as a full-time nursery was easily made as my 1st born attended nearly 12 years ago. The staff greet you with a smile every morning and give you daily feedback at the end of each session on what they have been doing, eating etc. The food menu is different on a weekly basis and they cater for all dietary requirements and fussy eaters. They have different daily activities to keep the kids entertained and learn through fun whether it be clean or messy play. They have all-weather outside areas that the kids are encouraged to play outside as much as possible whether sun or snow. I do feel that all the girls love each child as if they were their own child. Leaving a child with strangers is never easy, however with Mary Poppins within a day the girls feel like your extended family.

I have 2-year-old twins that have attended Mary Poppins for the last year. My girls have always enjoyed coming, I’ve never had an issue with them not wanting to stay. The staff have been very friendly and accommodating! With twins, there has been some logistical issues but the staff have always helped and never made me feel a nuisance! Helping to/from the car and up the stairs! The girls love the food, especially the cheese and potato pie, keep meaning to ask for the recipe! Cost has to come into it with twins but I wouldn’t compromise their care for money, I don’t feel I have at all. The care is amazing, and at a reasonable price!!
I am the definition of a fussy/obsessive Mum, there are only a handful of people on this planet I trust to look after my child, so when it came to finding the right child care providers I was very picky. I chose this nursery on how I felt about the staff and first impressions above all else, this...
I've found the attitude of the staff to be what has made me so comfortable with leaving my daughter here. They are extremely genuine and it's evident to see that they've built a relationship with my daughter - it's great to see that your child recognises and relates to the staff - not to mention the socialising with other infants and the new activities laid out on a daily basis. I definitely recommend!
I currently have two children that attend. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff and managers that work there. My children are happy to be in there and the staff care for each and every child. Both of my children have had issues with dairy and they were very accommodating to their dietary...
I currently have two children that attend. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff and managers that work there. My children are happy to be in there and the staff care for each and every child. Both of my children have had issues with dairy and they were very accommodating to their dietary needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Mary Poppins nursery to anyone.
The staff at Mary Poppins are absolutely amazing! Both of my children have been there and it is only because we have moved to Sheffield that we’ve had to make the tough decision to take them both out. They’ve made so many great friends and memories. The staff are friendly and approachable but more...
Thank you Mary Poppins and both my children and I are going to miss you loads!

The staff are amazing, going out of their way to accommodate my daughter's needs. She is fed by a tube in her stomach and they continuously strive to achieve everything she needs alongside extra developmental targets set by outside agencies, all without argument. They just do it.
My son absolutely loves going here and is up and raring to get out of the door most mornings.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.
The proof is in the pudding - neither my daughter or son want to come home at the end of the nursery day!
Well what can I say except this nursery is absolutely amazing, my two girls have been going for over 3 years and I’m honestly dreading the day they have to leave.

Well what can I say except this nursery is absolutely amazing, my two girls have been going for over 3 years and I’m honestly dreading the day they have to leave. Since the children have been at Mary Poppins, both of our daughters have grown into beautiful, clever children. They're both very well educated and know the everyday basics on even the simple things, like saying please and thank you and always washing their hands. The staff at Mary Poppins have helped our girls grow and since being there from very young babies, have watched and helped with every step of their development including walking, talking and toilet training. Both children have looked up to the staff and always felt comforted when attending. The nursery overall is very clean, the food provided is exceptionally high standard and the staff amazing. They go above and beyond for both parents and children and help to accommodate any needs that you may have.
