Hermitage Nursery School

My child has been coming to the your nursery to which she is very happy and always looking forward to attend. The staff are experienced, supportive and makes my daughter feel welcomed. My child is very happy to which makes me happy. Many thanks

I have had 2 children at the nursery, and both absolutely love it. They both go in every day excited to get to their rooms and see the staff and other children. The bond both my children had with all the staff has been amazing. All the staff knows each child, not just by name, but by who they are and their characters. My daughter has just finished at the nursery, and they have done a fantastic job making sure she is as school-ready as she could be. On top of the amazing staff, the facilities, food/menu, communication, and activities are also fantastic. Also, I really love the daily photos of my children so I can talk to them about what they did during the day. Outside of this, the Special Educational Needs Coordinator support has been fantastic, at not only supporting my children and helping them develop but also supporting, guiding and educating us as a family. Thank you for everything you do.

A caring and welcoming nursery. The staff are amazing, always helpful and make it a priority to know each child. Good variety of food and snacks. Love that we get a daily photo of an activity when our child is at nursery. Really excited that Forest School will be a part of preschool this month.

My son is so excited when he goes to the Nursery. I can see him always happy and enjoying time spent with his colleagues. The most important is to see your little one safe and smiling and not be scared of leaving him with others. This is a wonderful place with passion and with people who care about your child

The only downside is that the nursery has very little outside space and no green space. It would be nice if they had a large outdoor space for some mini-forest school activity. They do take the children outside into the playground area every day through rain or shine which is great.

I am very pleased with how they have cared for my child, who has settled in well and really enjoys attending the nursery. I would recommend the nursery to others because when I have raised an issue they have done well to resolve it and have also offered support in sharing ways to improve learning. They also do offers for extra sessions and run events throughout the months.

I can't speak highly enough of Hermitage Day Nursery. A fantastic nursery with second-to-none staff, they truly are a credit and I can't thank them all enough. Our little girl has come on leaps and bounds since joining. Nothing is ever too much hassle and I honestly feel our little girl is in the best hands possible, whilst me and her dad are working. Morning and evening handovers are always detailed and me and her dad love getting updates during the day via the app of what she's been up to. The facilities are amazing and cater for such a huge type of needs and development stages. I'm so grateful for our space there and would recommend the nursery to any parent.

Great nursery, and really puts the child in the forefront. The baby room staff are amazing; right from the start they did everything to make sure my little one felt comfortable and loved. My daughter always leaves with a smile on her face at the end of the day. Highly recommend.

My son has been attending the centre for around a year now, we moved internationally so this was a big transition. The team worked really hard to support him settling in and he has subsequently progressed up through the various rooms well, growing attached to a few teachers particularly. The centre has a well-provisioned outdoor area and they try to take the children out and about when they can, or have organisations come in to run interactive sessions. The facilities are typically British, as is the scale of the building and rooms, traditional. Meals are hot and prepped on-site. It’s overall a good centre and we haven’t had any concerns. Some minor feedback; term reports haven’t always captured or reflected what my son is able to do which is disappointing, key milestones missed. Your child will always receive a lot of care but this isn’t a school-ready or academic centre if that’s important to you, there could be more implemented to help children who are ready begin some phonics etc.

I could not be happier with my choice of nursery for my little boy, it's a really lovely place.

Excellent nursery, couldn't be happier with the standard of care, staff always helpful and happy and nothing ever too much trouble, Senco is amazing and management always happy to help with any concerns.

Not only are the children well looked after but the activities are all entertaining and educational. The food is prepared on site and nutritional and varied in tastes too.

Brilliant nursery! My child has come on leaps and bounds since starting there! The staff care for the children as if they were their own. I have 100% trust in leaving my child there. Can not praise all the staff members enough!

I can't praise Hermitage Day Nursery enough. My son started in 2021, being a lockdown baby I was very worried about how he would settle but I shouldn't have worried. He instantly bonded with his key worker and the other staff, and has continued to develop a bond which each key worker when he moves into a new room. His confident and positive social interaction and communication has really improved by going to nursery, and is continually commented on by others. How confident he is around people, adults and children alike. The staff really get to know each child, what they like and dislike and plan activities that suit the children and will make a change if needed to accommodate if my son is not settling well that day. He loves the routine and the food and always eats everything there. The rooms and the outside area have been well thought out and set up. As a worried first-time mum, I have no worries when I drop my son off as I know he really enjoys his time there. Can't recommend enough.

Fantastic nursery! My son loves it and the staff are amazing! They do so many varied activities with the children and getting updates throughout the day is just the best! Would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of sending their children here!

Fabulous nursery, my child has been there for nearly a year and they managed to cope with her being upset and settle her really well. To the point now she loves and runs to the car to go to nursery. Staff are always there to help in the room and also the office, I couldn't ask for more!

My child has been at the nursery since nine months old and I can't fault it. The staff are lovely, the environment is great for the children and communication has always been good. My child loves his key worker and enjoys being part of the community they have built at the nursery.

The rooms are great for all the different ages and the outdoor space is brilliant.

Brilliant nursery, outstanding staff always willing to work with you to benefit your child, my girls love this nursery and always have smiles at the end of the day and lots to tell me about their day

Fantastic nursery, highly recommend! The staff go above and beyond for all the children. My child has been attending for 3.5 years now and has made great friendships and beautiful bonds with the nursery staff. The staff have also been a massive support for myself and my partner through my child's ASD diagnosis journey, which I can't thank them enough. I will be very sad when my child has to leave this nursery to go to school this year. Thank you to each and every one of you for what you do, we as a family truly appreciate it!
