Kindred Mickleover Nursery and Pre-School

My son has been at Mary Poppins since he was 13 months, and is now 3years 3 months. He has thrived and developed such an inquisitive and confident personality. He is thriving at Mary Poppins and very grateful for all the support from the staff there.

Mary Poppins has been excellent in looking after our daughter. When we first moved to Derby, it was stressful finding a nursery and sending our daughter for the first time. However, we had a very good experience and always feel reassured when we drop her off before work. The staff are very caring, polite, and keep us updated about everything.Thank you to the Mary Poppins team for all your care and support.

Denise and the team are really friendly and efficient, I feel confident putting my little boy in nursery, he is happy and he is learning and socialising. Communication is brilliant and the facilities are good,

After having my son, the thought of returning to work and leaving him in other peoples care really worried me. As soon as we were welcomed in to Mary Poppins we knew that it was the right place for him. Denise showed us round 4 years ago and we have never regretting putting him in to this nursery. He absolutely loves coming to nursery, he is thriving and we will be so sad for him to leave but having now had our daughter we are exciting for her to begin her Mary Poppins journey. Returning to work this time around does not feel anywhere near as daunting knowing that she will be well looked after and entertained all day. Having personally attended this nursery 30 years ago it still has that family feel which is comforting and yet still professional. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much for them and you can really see that they care for the children. I recommend Mary Poppins to all of my friends and family who are considering nurseries. We couldn't wish for a nursery!

We are always kept well informed about what's happening at the nursery, and we really appreciate the feedback and updates about what she's been getting up to during the day.

My son has come on so much since starting at the nursery and has some special relationships with both his friends and staff.

As parents, it gives us great peace of mind knowing our son is in such capable and caring hands. We're very grateful to the whole team at Mary Poppins Nursery for the positivity, support, and dedication they show every day. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, happy, and nurturing place for their child.

Both of my children have attended Mary Poppins nursery and it's been a happy second home to them. My daughter's confidence grew from day one due to the warm, homely environment and the care from all the staff. It felt like I was dropping my child off with a family member. Her interests were taken on board and she really flourished there and loved it until she left for school, so I was happy to send my son there too. He is still enjoying himself and loves all the activities they put on for the children. He is more than happy to go in the morning and I can see him playing with a smile when I pick him up. We've been so impressed with the gentle, knowledgeable and professional care for both of our children and can tell they treat each child and their needs individually whilst communicating to us in detail about their day.

Both my children have been to Mary Poppins and I really can't fault them. My son left a couple of years ago and my daughter this year. They are both very different children and the ladies who work there have been amazing with both. I was always so surprised at the things they were learning and picking up at a young age and Mary Poppins has certainly helped both of them develop. The kids have both enjoyed going and are usually very excited to tell us what they have been doing with their day.

My child has been attending Mary Poppins for the past 3 years. Our experience of the nursery has been amazing, mostly due to the wonderful staff there. The environment is warm and friendly and I feel that my child is thriving in his development. Most importantly, my child is happy to go into nursery every day which makes me feel reassured that he is safe and well cared for. Thank you!

The team at Mary Poppins are fantastic. Always great you with a smile at the door & look genuinely happy to see our little boy each morning. They are brilliant at giving us a run down at the end of the day & flexible with anything we need. Our boy absolutely loves it there & always comes out/home with a smile on his face, fully tummy & exhausted from all the fun he's had!

Absolutely brilliant, I trust you so much to take care of Finley. You have always have been brilliant he loves it. He especially loves music Mondays with the parachute and always talks about 'Becky', I do hope this is his name otherwise apologies. You all do brilliantly with him, thank you so much. Will really miss you all looking after him when he goes to school. Keep going the Mary Poppins angels x

I like it most as it's not crowded and fully staffed.

Learning new things everyday and doing things at home too.

Our son has been attending Mary Poppins for 18 months, since he was 1, and he absolutely loves going! He is always happy when he walks in the door and has a big smile on his face when we pick him up! The staff are so supportive, friendly and we feel very comfortable that our son is being very well looked after during his days there especially following some recent health issues - staff were mindful of his new diet needs and stayed in touch whilst he was off nursery briefly which was really kind. His development has come on in leaps and bounds over the time he's been attending Mary Poppins and I would recommend them to any parents looking to send their child to a family focused, caring and friendly nursery!

We're grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to other families.

I would always recommend Mary Poppins to any of my friends and family looking for a nursery.

Amazing nursery team and staff. Really a home from home for my little boy which was so important to me. A huge range of skills and knowledge from staff which supports children's learning, development and most importantly ensures children are happy. Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

My daughter has settled well at Mary Poppins, the staff in the baby room are attentive and kind and rarely switched to other rooms, so she feels well attached and happy in their care. The activities in the room are always changed round and are creative, nurturing and fun for her. I picked this nursery because it had a warm, family feel to it, rather than a large corporate setting. The nursery staff are knowledgable on her development and what she has done that day, and she has a wide variety to eat whilst at nursery. We are happy with their care for our daughter and look forward to finding out what she has been up to each day. The office staff always keep us informed and are a friendly face in the morning and at pick up, and I love that they know my daughter by name, after just a few months in their care.

We have been using Mary Poppins for almost 3 years now and don't have a bad word to say. Both our children enjoy attending, the staff are caring and kind to all the children and also to the parents! I would definitely recommend this nursery to a friend.

I'd score 6 stars if I could. Everyone at Mary Poppins has always been brilliant for both our children. I always feel welcome during drop off and pickup, and both girls have been very happy during their time at nursery. Made some great friends and have developed really well.
