Overall Experience

Both of my children have been to the nursery, they supported us as a family through the years, and feel so comfortable and happy with the communication and friendly atmosphere at the nursery. It's like a family there. My kids love going and it's been a very important place for us for the last 4 and half years, providing help advice and general support to not just the children but to us as a family. Which means a lot to me.

Review from T R (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Absolutely the nursery setting all children should be attending. We moved our little boy to the nursery from another setting and couldn’t be happier. The staff are attentive, caring, loving and welcoming. My little boy loves his nursery and it has had such a positive impact on our home life. From potty training to settling him it couldn’t have been smoother. He knows all of the staff and has a great relationship with each and every one of them. The staff make you feel very welcome and go above and beyond what I have ever experienced in different nursery settings. They are very loving towards the children and my child has developed more than I thought. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all for their amazing work and dedication to the children and parents. The outdoor space is great, they get to experience so much in the forest area. The activities the nursery does for the children are amazing for skills and development. The best nursery in Loughborough.

Review from Charlotte W (Mother of Child) published on 7 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Radmoor is an incredible nursery. We researched a lot, went to one, and moved here and could not be happier. My son loves going and has made some really close friends already. He has learned and is learning so much from his days here and we are very impressed. We get lots of updates and amazing photos of what they’ve been up to throughout the day. They do so many wonderful activities to help with all areas of their development and clearly take time to think of these activities and take the time with each individual child. The staff are all so friendly yet professional and are open to talk to whenever you need or want to. Key workers and other staff members in your child’s class give you thorough handovers at the end of the day and are there to give you useful tips to help/aid your child if requested. The safety aspects of the nursery are amazing and super reassuring. And the meals are always fantastic. I can not recommend the nursery enough. 10/10.

Overall Experience
Excellent nursery. Staff are friendly and caring and my son's development has progressed very well since joining Radmoor.
The nursery has an excellent outdoor forest area that my son loves.
The online app is brilliant as I can see my son's progress throughout the day and keep on top of his meals.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the nursery, I am more than happy with the care and support my son has had whilst attending.

This is a fantastic nursery and the staff are lovely. What I find amazing is how much they do with the children, every day is filled with activities and they always make an effort to celebrate different holidays and important dates in the calendar so the children get to learn about lots of different things. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Our little boy loves Radmoor Nursery, he started there at 10 months and they have really helped him to flourish. We love that the nursery has a large outdoor play space that he can use and he loves attending the nursery! We could not be happier with the care he receives there and will be sending our daughter there later this year too without hesitation!
