Review from B S (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We viewed a couple of other nurseries before visiting The Laurels Nursery School but the moment we walk through the door we got a good feeling. The atmosphere is wonderful- fun, friendly and inviting yet calm and organised. Management are warm and really know the children. The rooms have space for children to roam and be creative and are decorated with their creations. There's plenty of outside space too. My little one struggled to leave me at first but soon settled and now cries when her key worker leaves- trust me this is a good sign and shows me how quickly she's bonded- wonderful staff!

Review from Clare L (Mother of Child) published on 12 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The best nursery in the area by far! ( I looked at loads). A real home from home environment with lots of nurture from staff. I feel in touch with my child whilst at work having regular updates on what she is doing throughout the day. Staff are excellent - clearly putting thought into the day to day learning. My child is always happy. A good menu is provided.

Overall Experience

Our son has loved his time at The Laurels so far, the staff have made him feel very comfortable and he has great fun whilst he is there. The food provided is of a great standard with food from all around the world. The improvement being made will help the nursery become a high standard. We look forward to many more years.

Review from Nicol E (Mother of Child) published on 12 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child had attended one other nursery before starting at The Laurels and I had also visited quite a few other nurseries. The Laurels stood out as the best nursery I had visited because of the friendliness and politeness of the staff. My older child also settled this nursery and I can honestly say I have nothing negative to say about it. The nursery is always clean, the staff always give me plenty of information about what my child has done that day and I am always kept informed of her next steps and progression.

Review from Melanie S (Mother of Child) published on 19 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Both my children have attended the nursery from 6 months to school age, 4 days a week. The Laurels provides a nurturing and stimulating environment. It has given both of my girls a great start. They were both well equipped socially for the start of school, due to their purposeful interactions at nursery. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Review from Janey B (Mother of Child) published on 27 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I am very pleased with the care given at this nursery. The staff are very communicative about my son's time there and the activities he has been involved in. I feel the balance between stimulation, nurture and rest periods is right for my child and he clearly enjoys his time there. Menus are excellent, incorporating a wide variety of food choice, ensuring children are introduced to a range of flavours and tastes. I would definitely recommend The Laurels.
