Stanhope House Day Nursery

Stanhope is a wonderful nursery with very competent and caring staff. Staff know the early years framework and implement it in their daily work, while helping the children reach developmental milestones. They were welcoming, and knew how to quickly settle our child if they were unsettled at drop off whether that be by giving comfort, or offering a fun toy they knew our child would like. Their meals are fresh and healthy and they do well with encouraging trying of new foods. They offer a range of varied and engaging daily indoor and outdoor activities and we loved seeing our child's paintings as well as photos from days out. It was lovely seeing the children play together at pick ups and the staff do great with developing social skills like sharing and verbal communication. The children know the staff showing how well they all work together and chip-in towards maintaining a caring and safe environment. Our child enjoyed being at Stanhope.

The children loved the garden and we as a family have enjoyed coming to many events from tea parties, summer and Christmas which created a sense of community.

We are very sorry to see the end of our time at Stanhope, and I'm sure our children will miss it very much. Thank you all so much!

They truly support individual development in a caring, multicultural environment, always listening. Knowing my little one was so genuinely looked after and loved allowed me to work in peace. The trust was always there. I couldn't recommend Stanhope Nursery highly enough!

Stanhope Nursery has been a nurturing and stimulating environment for my daughter. I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a balance of care, education, and fun. My child was happy there talking about her friends and staff at home, which shows the quality of care provided. Big big thank to the nursery owner is a wonderful lady.

Our satisfaction as a family is beyond words and I would recommend this school with closed eyes for everyone's kids. Thank you, Stanhope.

The manager has created a really special nursery. We were so happy with all elements of it - from the wonderful staff, varied activities, lovely garden and nutritious meals served to the kids. Our daughter required some extra help to get walking and the staff went above and beyond to help her and advise us, which really made a difference. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending the nursery to other parents.

Both of our children went to Stanhope (almost full time), and we are so glad they did. Stanhope has a hugely warm and caring atmosphere, and the staff genuinely seem to love their jobs and support each other so well, too. Our kids grew close to their key workers especially, and you could tell they trusted them totally. Pretty much everything is taken care of, and they cover long hours. Our children came home having eaten pretty much all the food on offer, so it must've been good! The staff provide great feedback on the children's day at pick up. They always spend plenty of time outdoors when the weather allows, and the garden space is lovely. The children had lots of opportunities to develop their skills, as well as socialise, which I think has been a real god-send for the transition to school. I would highly recommend Stanhope to anyone, and have done, multiple times!

We came to live in the UK for work and finding Stanhope was like finding a family here. The staff consists of excellent professionals, who are above all wonderful people. I've always believed that my daughter at the nursery was in good hands and I've always been calm and happy to leave her with them. The director has always been available to listen to our needs and has always done her best to accommodate us. Now it's time for us to go back home, but we are sure that our daughter will not forget the wonderful time spent at Stanhope (and neither will we).

Both our children went to Stanhope House and I can easily say it is the best decision we could possibly have made and the best start we could have given them in life. During COVID they provided a safe and 'normal' environment for them to grow up and develop in. The director, another staff member and the team provide wonderful care and support the children as individuals. Stanhope structured play and learning around their interests and also helped support and allay their fears when they were scared/unhappy. They made our job as parents so much easier, potty training them, teaching them to use a knife and fork, etc. I really am very sad that both children have now grown up and left Stanhope, but I am so grateful for how Stanhope helped turn our babies into wonder, well behaved, clever, kind, happy, confident, fun children, ready to start the next chapter in their lives. Words/this review really can not do Stanhope justice - it is such a wonderful nursery.

A delightful nursery - the children have fond memories and miss the team, the food and the garden! A big thumbs up from us all.

We chose this nursery after visiting every nursery we could find in Leicester and what a great choice that was! Our little one loved going there. The staff were amazing and always helpful to help him settle in when needed. The rooms are nice and clean, garden is lovely and food is fresh and nutritious. We would fully recommend Stanhope House Day Nursery.

Our daughter attended Stanhope Nursery for over three years, and it was an excellent experience. She developed very well and created good relations with the staff and other children. The staff was very professional and handled all kinds of situations related to babies, toddlers, and little kids. The nursery is also open and welcoming for children from every background. We highly recommend it!

Amazing manager, lovely team, outstanding facilities and cleanliness. The way they supported us with potty training and continue to do so with my son's milk ladder is second-to-none. The meals are varied, nutritious and always sound delicious, and it is clear they all go the extra mile to make Stanhope a wonderful place to be and work. Overall, Stanhope really does have a special family feel, which we absolutely love and highly recommend to others.

Excellent, professional staff who are very caring - they're like an extended family for me and my husband here in Leicester. My son attended Stanhope from 8 months old until he went to school, and he very much enjoyed his time here. Now my 2-year-old daughter is currently attending this nursery - as a lockdown baby, the nursery had massively helped her to be more social with others and confident over time. Stanhope has positively contributed to my children's overall development and really appreciates all that they do for the children under their care. They're just the best children's nursery in town. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

After not being 100% happy about the way the first nursery we sent our daughter to was run, we were reluctant to send her elsewhere, but after looking around Stanhope and speaking to all the lovely staff, I felt at ease. They are all so helpful and welcoming, very informative and keep you up to date with everything. They offer a variety of healthy cooked meals, and my daughter has enjoyed eating some things there she was previously unsure of. All of the children seem happy, and my daughter has opened up much more since being there. On her 2nd day, she was hugging a staff member and children in the room, which I had never seen her do before at her first nursery or in play centres. She feels welcome there and is always excited to go. Would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a great place in the area.

Thank you.

My child has attended the nursery since he was 1-year-old, and he enjoyed the stay here. We are very happy with the service provided by the nursery; they are kind, professional and helpful. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended.

Highly recommended.
