Handkerchief Day Nursery

Handkerchief Day Nursery is exactly what we were looking for in a nursery. Since our daughter has been there she has progressed in many aspects and continues to impress us with her language, numeracy and creative abilities - all which Handkerchief staff have nurtured. The nursery is clean and well presented; displays are regularly updated, parent contact is very good and you receive a detailed review on your child's day on pick up. The nursery offers enrichment sessions during the day which include Jo Jingles, French, Tennis, Cricket and they even have a hair-dresser and photographer come in! (Of which you will be notified). They regularly put on events to include the parents as much as possible; these include Christmas markets, sports days, coffee mornings, to name a few! Over all, we are very pleased with Handkerchief and know our children are being entertained and well looked after. The staff are lovely and our children are happy there.

We recently moved our daughter to Pre-School at Handkerchief and my only regret is not sending her from a baby. This is a truly wonderful nursery set in beautiful gardens, with a huge number of additional activities on offer (yoga, music, cricket, French). In particular, Forest School is fantastic and the children spend a lot of time outdoors either in the garden (with the hens and the guinea pigs) or on the bikes in the tennis court - our 3 year old daughter comes home buzzing with excitement (and rosy cheeks) every day.

Activities are planned all day long and the 'grown ups' are constantly interacting with the children. Arriving for pick up after 5pm, often they are just starting a new activity - we were really taken aback that the energy levels of the staff are still so high that late in the day.

I was really struck by the confidence all of the children show and this is testament to the care and nurturing they receive from the staff.

A fantastic nursery.
