Review from Lucy W (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter is really enjoying her time at nursery and has developed a great bond with the staff and gives them a cuddle at drop off which is lovely to see. She is developing so well and constantly learning new things which I feel is partly due to the great care she receives from the staff at nursery!

Overall Experience

My child has taken quite a while to settle at nursery but is now really starting to come out of his shell there! He is very happy to go to the staff members in the morning without any tears and always blows them a kiss when we go home. It is lovely to see that he is happy and settled with them.

Our daughter loves coming to nursery. It has helped her become a more outgoing child. She loves all the activities and enjoys being outside. Especially, I feel it has helped her develop as a child as a whole.

Overall Experience

I am very happy with the child care, which is provided at The Melton Mowbray Nursery School for my 2-year-old son. Staff are very professional and extremely caring and always giving me satisfying handovers at the end of the session. My son has settled in very quickly, and he is making beautiful progress in his development journey. Absolutely love it.

I have to commend all of the staff at the Melton Mowbray Nursery they do a brilliant job and take such great care of my Son. Throughout the Covid pandemic, I have never once worried that my child is at risk while attending. He has a brilliant time there.

Overall Experience

My two-year-old daughter is my second child to be going through the nursery, both starting as soon as they turned one. I could not be happier with the quality of care they have both received. The management and staff at the nursery are extremely friendly, caring and professional. The staff form really lovely relationships with the children and I have always trusted them completely. I will always recommend the nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience

My three-year-old son has attended the nursery since he was 11 months old and has always loved every second of it. The staff are extremely attentive and just generally lovely. The food always sounds delicious, so much so my son usually has two servings! My son is about to start in pre-school and I am looking forward to seeing his progression.

Review from Joanne B (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 3 and a half-year-old daughter has been attending Melton Mowbray Nursery since she was 10-months-old. They have been great with her throughout and particularly since she joined the pre-school. She always comes home with a smile on her face after lots of activities, crafts, games. She comes back each week with something new she has learned.
Her brother is 18 months and despite only going 1 day a week, he now strolls in as soon as he sees the girls. They are fantastic with the kids and it makes them so comfortable.
I never worry about leaving either of them as I know the team will make sure I’m informed and will contact me if there are any issues.

I cannot recommend enough.

My daughter has been attending for the past 10 plus months. In that time she enjoys it and looks forward to going. My only concern it seems to be getting a lot larger class sizes taking more and more children.

Overall Experience
I've used this nursery since my eldest son joined about 6 years ago, I still currently use the nursery for my 4-year-old (who will be joining school in September) and I have just applied for a place for my 9-month-old for him to start just before he turns 1.
I love the nursery and everyone that works there. Such friendly staff and they go above and beyond to look after the children.

All of my boys have so far been happy here and I can't wait to carry on using you for the foreseeable future.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Melton Mowbray Nursery School since he was 10 months old and he has developed no end. He loves going to nursery and all of the staff members. They always take such good care of him. He's such a happy boy, and this continues at nursery. They're good value for money and always have so many activities to keep the children entertained.

Review from Lora (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been sending our children to the nursery since April 2015, our son (now at school) and daughter (moving up this year). We could not be happier with the facilities, choice of food, outdoor space, level of activity, and most importantly the care of the team who have spent over 40 hours a week caring for our children over the last 5 years.
Our son left the nursery for school with confidence, creativity and eagerness for learning that has absolutely been instilled by the nursery. Our daughter still squeals with excitement when pulling onto the nursery driveway! The preparation she is getting in the pre-school is just fantastic. The genuine care that the team show with cuddles, hugs, affectionate nicknames and just knowing our children inside out has made us both, as full-time working parents, more than happy that we had chosen the right people, and place to nurture them before starting school.

I do not hesitate in highly recommending Melton Mowbray Nursery School.

Overall Experience

Extremely good nursery. Have had both of my children attend since less than 1yr old and both absolutely love it. The staff are great with the kids, the nursery setting is lovely with loads of outdoor space, and they're really accommodating for dietary requirements which is a huge bonus. Definitely, recommend.

Review from Lucy G (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery itself is a lovely size, the rooms the children are in, are spacious and have plenty of room to play comfortably in. The garden especially is a fantastic area, it’s very large and full of lots of toys for them to play with. The staff are very friendly and always welcome us when we arrive and know all the children by name. The manager is very easy to talk to about any concerns, issues or problems you may have. I have no concerns when I leave my son there for the four days a week he attends. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to a friend. Keep up the good work and keep your standards high.

This has been a fantastic nursery. My daughter has loved attending from the age of 9 months and will be leaving in August when she starts school. The staff are amazing and do so much to nurture and develop the children. My daughter has developed so many skills with the staff. The meals are all prepared on site and fresh and varied. I can’t recommend the nursery enough.
