Overall Experience
I have been fortunate to attend Knighton Day for the last 10 years with 2 children. I cannot emphasise enough how wonderful this nursery is. They have been a wonderful support and a big part of our village. I am so very sad to say goodbye.

Thank you so much for your lovely words and for trusting us with both of your children over the last 10 years. It's been such a privilege to be part of their journeys and to share so many special memories with your family. You will always be a part of our Knighton Day community, and we'll miss you very much. Wishing you all the very best for the exciting new chapters ahead.

My twin girls have attended Knighton Day Nursery since they were 10 months old. From the settling in sessions alone I knew it was the perfect choice.
It is a home from home, with all the added extra learning opportunities.
The areas are so spacious including a lovely garden area, with separate section for the young ones.
We loved the natural approach the nursery uses with natural resources only, really benefits the children.
My children are particularly fussy with their food at home, however at nursery the variety of home cooked food that is offered has helped them with new foods, and allowed us to have new items on the menu at home too!
The staff are so knowledgeable, caring and fully invested in the children's care and development.
We will be so upset when they leave in September to start school.

Overall Experience
Since starting our child has loved nursery and seems to really relish it and look forward to it. She has a great rapport with the staff who are approachable, professional and well versed in their field.
Lovely surroundings and facilities to encourage independence and growth in the little ones too.

Knighton Day Nursery has been outstanding in all aspects of care for our son who has additional medical needs. They embraced the challenges of his needs with great care and kindness. We have never worried about leaving him in their capable hands. All the staff are highly trained, caring and loving towards all the children.

Knighton Day Nursery in my opinion is the very best place, both of my children have attended full time. It has a wonderful, nurturing environment that has allowed my children from 9 months to flourish. All staff are warm, welcoming and committed to ensure that children have the very best day. Each day is different, enabling to explore and discover new things. My children have enjoyed a variety of activities throughout their time there and given that they both went fulltime that is quite an accomplishment.

Brilliant preschool, the staff are so friendly and are great with the kids. Great opportunities like learning French. Imaginative things to play with like the water play area and mud kitchen. Big fun garden with lots to do. We couldn't have chosen anywhere better.
