This is our second child at this nursery and we're very happy. It's always encouraging when you drop your child off and they're happy to be there. We've never had a situation where either of our children have been clingy and not wanted to be left, despite being slightly hesitant on their first few days. They always seem to be having lots of fun in the different activities and the carers take a real interest in the children.
Hermitage Nursery School is amazing! We have two children that go there and one of them has SEND needs, the staff there have helped him so much and supported us as a family. I can't recommend them enough.

I am a mummy to 6 children and our 2nd and 3rd children attended this nursery. We as a family viewed 9 nurseries. We were willing to travel as far as we needed to find the perfect setting. We as parents struggle to leave our children even with family but felt very comfortable and confident with the wonderful staff here and felt our children settled well. Our 4th child started this January and the same wonderful staff are taking great care of our not so confident little girl but is becoming more independent and her confidence grows daily. There is nowhere else I would rather my children be. Our 5th child is due to start this September and is already looking forward to starting. The staff are just wonderful, the setting is safe and exciting for our little ones and the communication is fantastic. Seeing our daughter's updates of what activities she's been doing is lovely. I always recommend this nursery and have friends with little ones there that share the same wonderful views.
Fantastic nursery, both my children have/do attend and are always happy to go, the staff are lovely and so caring leaving me confident that my son is looked after and safe all day, excellent app that the staff update throughout the day.

Brilliant nursery, both my children love(d) Hermitage Nursery School, my eldest has now moved to school and felt really well prepared with the help of the nursery staff - she misses nursery and still talks about it. My youngest is well supported, particularly when he went through behavioural issues. The staff are all lovely.
I know he will always be well looked after and know they will help comfort him if they need to.

The activities the staff plan for my child are very enjoyable, creative and imaginative. The nursery engages in all aspects of my child needs, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physiologically and nutritional needs.
The staff adore the children, and show the upmost respect to each other and the service users. A bonus is my child loves the food provided
Staff listen to my wishes and wants and implement it into my child's care needs. The staff's communication is excellent, my child's daily report is thorough.
Staff understand how crucial play is for her development and is co-operated within the day which allows her to learn and have fun at the same time.
I have noticed the nursery is always clean and tidy and encourages my child to help pick up toys. Thank you for the love and support you have given my child.
She has grown in confidence and developed so well. She adores her key workers in her room.

She has grown in confidence and developed so well. She adores her key workers in her room.
All staff are wonderful, friendly and kind and interact brilliantly with the children.
All the staff are great from the office staff, room staff and the wonderful ladies who prepare all the food. (The meals are my daughters favourite part and it is good to know they are made fresh on-site).
The nursery were brilliant throughout Covid (and now with precautions) and continue to look after my daughter (and all children) giving her that bit of normal that Covid took away.
The online log is great to see the daily updates and observations plus photos and videos of my daughters achievements and activities. Parent's evening and events like the childrens Christmas parties and carol concerts are lovely for the children too. I have already enrolled my youngest daughter. I can't recommend enough!

My daughter has now been attending the setting for 7 months, she started at 5 months old and had developed strong bonds with the staff in the baby room. She is so happy to go every morning and I have multiple observations a week, with all the wonderful activities she has been doing. Staff are attentive and you get a real home from home feeling. It’s lovely to see how they are supporting her development and reading her daily report at the end of the day of how she has been and what she has done. The Management cannot do enough for you and are always available for support and queries. I’d highly recommend Hermitage Day Nursery. Myself and my partner are very pleased that our daughter has the very best foundations for her future learning at Hermitage Day Nursery.

I absolutely love this nursery, not only are they amazing with my son but they really care about them and their family as well. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. The staff are well trained, ask how the children are and if they have any requirements and also give good and thorough feedback of their day. I can be a bit anxious sometimes and this settles me knowing that he has had a fun and stimulating day.
My little girl joined here back in September 2020 as I had to move her from another nursery that I wasn’t getting on with. I cannot give Hermitage Day Nursery & Pre-school enough credit.

They have been amazing every step of the way and my little girl absolutely loves it. We need more nurseries like Hermitage Day Nursery & Pre-school. The staff are so friendly and kind. We would be lost without them.

I wanted to leave this review to let anyone who may be looking for a nursery for their little one, to definitely go and check Hermitage Day Nursery & Pre-school out. My son was a nervous starter but he came on leaps and bounds and loved every minute of his time here. He is now in reception at school thriving and I have the staff here to thank for his journey. He made some wonderful friends and the activities they do with the children is fantastic. My sons favourite was the fire engine visit. I can't recommend these ladies enough and the food is exceptional and the rooms are beautiful. Each staff member made my son feel very special and he thoroughly enjoyed his time here.

Hermitage Day Nursery & Pre-school has exceeded expectations and more. Moving to the area and trying to find a suitable nursery was a struggle until I came across Hermitage Day Nursery & Pre-school. I was able to view the nursery straight away and the facilities they have to offer are incredible. My son settled in extremely quickly and always enjoys going. He still attends and I will be applying for a position for my other children. Thank you to all the staff!

Wouldn't use anywhere else, they have been absolutely fantastic, especially in these current difficult times.
The team at Hermitage Day Nursery are just truly wonderful. They are kind, caring and I could not be happier leaving my daughter in their care. She loves it there and cried when we go to pick her up as she doesn't want to leave.

We have recently taken our little one to the nursery and we are very happy we made this choice. The staff are very friendly, the variety of activities is good and we have been well informed throughout. We would recommend this nursery.

Staff members are so friendly and are genuinely invested in your children. When you go to pick them up at the end of the day, they can tell you absolutely everything about your child’s day. And should any problems arise during the day, they try their best to keep your child in nursery and not ring you to take them home at the first opportunity.
The nursery itself is lovely, with lots of activities for them to do and learn from. The outside area is my child’s particular favourite!
We really feel like part of the family at Hermitage and would happily recommend it to any parents considering sending their children there!

She has learnt so much since starting here when I went back to work after maternity leave, and having moved up through the rooms she knows all the staff and they know her - even interacting when they see her in the corridor, and commenting on how much she has changed over the years.
The staff really get to know the children, and genuinely care about their progress. They are all so friendly and easy to talk to, especially if you have any questions.
The trips they run are planned and executed so carefully, I have no problem in letting my child go out with the staff here.
My daughter has really missed all her friends and the staff during lockdown, and is super excited about going back next month and telling them all about what she's been up to!
My daughter has been attending here since she was 2 years old, she has loved every single minute of it! Due to COVID, she didn’t attend for 4 months, on her first day back she ran through the doors! All of the staff go out of their way and beyond to make the children thrive and feel comfortable!...
My daughter has been attending here since she was 2 years old, she has loved every single minute of it! Due to COVID, she didn’t attend for 4 months, on her first day back she ran through the doors! All of the staff go out of their way and beyond to make the children thrive and feel comfortable! The day to day activities they do are fabulous and involve learning in many ways when the children don’t even realise it! My daughter is sad to be leaving to go to school and says she will miss nursery and all of her friends.

Welcome to Hermitage Nursery SchoolAt Hermitage, children are encouraged to be inquisitive and imaginative in an inspiring learning environment that nurtures curiosity and a love of discovery. Outdoor learning plays a central role in nursery life, and our Forest School sessions give children the chance to explore, build confidence, and connect with nature. Strong partnerships are at the heart of what we do.
We work closely with parents, carers, health visitors, area SENCo, and speech and language therapists to ensure every child’s individual needs are met and that their transition to school is happy and seamless.
Our experienced educators bring a wealth of early years knowledge and create personalised learning experiences for every child. By recognising each child’s unique story, we help them grow and learn in a way that feels right for them.
We look forward to welcoming your family to Hermitage Nursery School so you can see our exceptional environment for yourself.
