Overall Experience
Archer has been going to Kirby Muxloe Nursery since September 2025, and it has been real joy to watch him develop, advance with other children and the staff who have made this transition so smooth and easy.
It's such a pleasure to watch him do all the activities, creative drawing or painting, truly amazing and real care is put into looking after him.

Very efficient with safety procedures, really would recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery, my daughter loves going! She has been at the nursery since she was 1, and is now almost 3 and she has loved all the staff. Leanne and Libby are so brilliant with Hattie, she's always talking about them at home and telling me all the fun things they get up to.

They have been patient with her while she has been potty training and they always take on board any feedback I have.

Absolutely fantastic nursery with wonderful facilities and staff. My daughter has come on wonderfully in the year She has been attending. The staff are very friendly and professional and constantly on the ball with everything, especially when certain issues may arise which a new parent may not be aware of, and they have definately educated me which I am thankful for. My daughter always wants to go nursery when we ask her, which is another great sign.

Review from Kerry Q (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our child attends the nursery for just two days a week, but since joining at the end of 2024 we have been extremely happy with the setting, the care that he receives, and their contribution to his development.
The staff are excellent and frequently go above and beyond. They show genuine care and concern for the children, and even send messages to check how they are doing if they miss their scheduled days due to illness. Our child is evidently happy in their care and has developed lovely relationships with the staff in both the baby and toddler rooms that he has attended to date.
Communications sent out to parents are always clear and informative, and the setting is always clean and well maintained.

We are very happy that we chose Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery, and based on our experience to date, would highly recommend the setting.

I can't recommend this nursery enough! The staff are just incredible with the children - so warm and nurturing. They give detailed summaries of the day, which feel personal, keeping me in the picture to follow my sons journey. My little one absolutely loves it, and I love seeing how he interacts and engages with all the fun activities in the room! The facilities are great too. So grateful to have such a wonderful place for my child to learn, grow, and play.

Overall Experience

Absolutely amazing! So happy with Kirby Muxloe, could not have put our son into a better nursery. They look after him so well, well fed, well entertained and well engaged. Nothing is too much hassle and feel completely at ease when we drop him off knowing he is happy and will have a fab day! Huge thanks to two particular members of staff especially who have cared, loved and nurtured our son as if he were their own. He will miss you all a lot as he now is embarking on his next journey at school! Thank you Kirby for everything.

The nursery is excellent. It’s well-led, and the staff are engaging and experienced. My daughter loves going to nursery every day, eager to run through the door. They do lots of different activities, and she has developed confidence and skills in so many areas. They are great at supporting dietary requirements - with attention to detail to get it right. All the staff interact with all the children.

My son has relocated to Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery in Jan 2024. The nursery staff have helped with settling him into the nursery. He absolutely loves going to the nursery and he loves taking part in all the activities at the nursery. The best part for him is playing in the garden. His key workers are always on hand to help and enjoy the different variety of food at the nursery.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Giving children the chance to enjoy spending time outside in the fresh air, exploring, investigating and learning, is so important for their happiness and well-being. Our team provide plenty of stimulating activities for children to enjoy throughout the nursery day which provide plenty of creative and engaging opportunities for learning.

Review from Zoe K (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my children currently go to Kirby Muxloe Nursery - my son is moving into the nursery room and my daughter is in the baby room and they absolutely love it! My daughter’s confidence has grown significantly.
The staff are absolutely brilliant, you can see how much care and attention goes into everything they do for the children. They always tell us all what they’ve been up to throughout the day and my son is very excited to tell me little snippets of his day! They do a lot of singing at nursery as they seem to can’t wait to sing to my husband and me when they get home.
The staff are very good at continuing what you do at home- ie, using keywords, sleep patterns, use of dummy etc.
The meals are well-balanced and both my children enjoy them!

I have done and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent nursery for their little ones.

Kirby Muxloe Nursery has/continues to be fantastic. I chose them for my first child because of the family feel of the place. I will also be sending my second child there this year as that's exactly what I've got from them since day one. They engage the children in fun and educational activities daily, and their outdoor area is dreamy. All the staff members are lovely and a delight to talk to. My child is very happy here.

The best decision so far to put my 12 month son into this nursery. I was very anxious about leaving my son; however, the staff made me feel so comfortable and made me feel that it was normal to feel like this. Watching my son grow and develop has been amazing. Look forward to watching him grow further with the nursery.

Review from Samantha H (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Love the staff at Kirby Muxloe, all are very caring and attentive to the children. Hate that there is no intercom associated with the front door, which can result in time wasted while standing out (I know it's not the ladies' fault as they are looking after the kids), but it seems ludicrous in this day and age, such a simple system cannot be implemented to save the time of nursery staff coming down to let you in, and of parents trying to get home.
My daughter has come on leaps and bounds being the care of all the ladies, who have interacted with her and will always be grateful for that.

Keep it up all!
