Review from L G (Mother of Child) published on 8 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Lisa B (Mother of Child) published on 8 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I received several recommendations from colleagues for Stanhope, and choosing it for our children was one of the best decisions we made. Ruth and the team are fantastic, and we have been delighted with the support our children have received.
From toilet training to cooking activities and encouraging new foods, the care and encouragement are exceptional. Both children formed close bonds with their key workers, often leaving with hugs each day. Staff always took time to understand how our children were feeling and showed genuine interest in their stories and interests.
At collection, staff clearly talked through each child's day, sharing moods, funny moments, friendships, and progress with sleeping, eating, or toilet training. We especially valued how closely they worked with us to mirror approaches used at home.

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.

Review from Eva T (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both our children had a wonderful time at Stanhope. You can tell that level of thought and attention to each aspect of the children's care is really carefully considered and well planned and executed. This includes aspects relating to diet, activities, inclusivity about other cultures, as well as an emphasis on dental care. Throughout the past 7 years of our contact with the nursery, we have only had good experiences at Stanhope. You can tell that the staff really care about the children, have their best interests at heart and develop friendships with them over time.
Many people (like ourselves), do not live directly near to the nursery, but travel a number of miles to take their children here. I think this speaks volumes about the standard of care, and it is well known amongst parent circles that Stanhope is one of the best.

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!

Overall Experience
A Truly Exceptional Nursery Experience at Stanhope!
From the moment my little one started at Stanhope Nursery at just 18 months old, I knew I'd found an absolutely wonderful place for him. Now, at four years old, he's leaving as a happy, well-rounded boy.
The owner, is truly special. She's like family, always present with emotional support and warm hugs. The whole team is amazing. They nurtured his confidence, earned his trust, and commanded his respect and admiration. Their abundant love and vibrant energy made every day bright.

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!

Review from H K (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Finding the right nursery is a significant decision, and Stanhope Day Nursery has proven to be an excellent choice. The nursery is warm, colourful, and child-friendly, with a strong emphasis on safety. From soft flooring to child-sized furniture. The caregivers at Stanhope Nursery are nurturing, patient, and attentive. They are adept at managing temper tantrums, encouraging sharing, and promoting independence. My daughter settled in one week after she started.
The nursery offers a variety of age-appropriate activities that stimulate learning and creativity. Daily updates are provided via personal chats during pick-up.

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.

Review from Chrysa A (Mother of Child) published on 27 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter attended the school for almost a year for full time immediately after we relocated from another country. Stanhope is a gem. Great building and yard and my kid was happy to go every morning. She had a rapid development in behaviour and language. Most importantly she learned to eat much better. All this thanks to the patient and dedicated staff.
I enjoyed the engagement with the parents and the extra activities that they organised, like games in town or Christmas fayres. An important aspect was that the kids got to know well all the teachers at school. The headmaster and the deputy were always there, attending every class, and had a knowledge for every kid and their needs. Just amazing.

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

Overall Experience
Our son and daughter both attended Stanhope House Day Nursery and we can't speak highly enough of the friendly and caring team there.

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.

Overall Experience

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!

Review from Susanna M (Mother of Child) published on 18 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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).

Review from Lorna M (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
Thank you Stanhope team. Our daughter has just finished 3 years at Stanhope and has thoroughly enjoyed her time there. We chose the nursery for our first son back in 2014 and all three of our children attended the setting.
They supported all the children through the milk ladder (for cows milk protein allergy), assisted with the transition out of nappies/pull-ups and with the move to school.

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.

Overall Experience

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!

Review from Chrys W (Father of Child) published on 5 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

My son attended this nursery, and I’ll recommend this as a safer place for every parent who wants to send their children. The staff treat children very kindly and clean. I never see my son coming with painted or dirty clothes home. The director is a very kind and caring person. I really recommend this nursery as a good place to send your child.

Thank you.

Overall Experience
Our experience with this nursery was the best in the UK. All personnel were supportive, friendly and really helpful, especially with my kid whose mother language isn’t English. They are professional, and they managed very well with all the challenges we faced. My daughter enjoyed being there. They are safe, enthusiastic, after less than 4-months, they know her well, can deal very well with her personality. They have a big, lovely garden full of joyful things to be done.
The place is very diverse, and kids are happy, developing and energetic.

Highly recommended.
