The nursery staff are absolutely fantastic with the children and genuinely care about each individual child, always coming up with creative ways of play that really focus on the development of the children. I've now had 3 children attend and I would highly recommend this nursery, the staff are fabulous and very caring and work very closely with parents to ensure the best support is provided for the child. Another massive benefit is that this nursery has a chef who makes personalised meals for children who have dietary requirements.
We could not agree more, our Chef is amazing! An absolute star and we would not be without her. Thank you for choosing us and bringing your amazing family to us for so many years.
Fantastic nursery, with lovely staff who really care about the children. My daughter really enjoys going there and is always excited for a day at nursery.
The nursery is committed to helping the children with their learning, pushing them forward to get them school ready and they communicate well with the parents to help you understand your child progress.
Thank you Emma, we are so thrilled to read your comments.
They have been cared for and nurtured to the highest of standards, I could not trust them anymore and they have done an outstanding job caring for my children. Thank you.
We wish you were not leaving us, thank you so much Amy
with almost 11 years using the nursery with all 3 children, I cannot ever doubt the amount of commitment that all the girls have given to the education and focus to my children's needs. my youngest child is starting school in September and it will almost be like leaving a family. all I can say is this nursery is exceptional in all areas and would like to thank all members of staff for there dedication in looking after all my children. if I could give 10 stars in all areas I would.
You will always be part of the Alphabet Family, thank you so much for bringing your amazing family to us
We started at Alphabet when my son turned 6 months. The staff were all absolutely amazing with him straight away and actually were very understanding for me going back to work. In the 10 months that he has been in, he has thrived and is constantly learning and developing. The nursery is a safe and comfortable and we have loved every minute so far. Thanks all!
That's wonderful news Mary, we are so thrilled to read your comments, thank you so much for choosing us
Everyone is so lovely and caring. Alphabet day nursery have worked on building my sons convience as he was very shy and had separation anxiety at first to being a confident happy toddler who enjoys every moment of being here .
Thank you so very much, means the world to us,
Perfect nursery! All I have is positive words to say! My child loves it and is very comfortable with everyone! Any concerns are taken seriously and they treat each child like their own person! All the key workers go above and beyond! Cannot fault anything!
We are so pleased you joined us, thank you so much
From the very first visit, I knew this nursery was the right choice. The teacher who conducted my initial tour was absolutely brilliant - I felt such an overwhelming sense of peace & reassurance that I ended up crying, purely from the relief of knowing I would be leaving my daughter, who is my entire world, in such caring hands. What were once complete strangers now feel like family.
The love & care they show for my daughter is truly exceptional. The facilities are always spotless, and every teacher is genuinely invested in her wellbeing and development. From the moment I drop her off, I have complete confidence that she is in the most capable and nurturing hands.
I cannot speak highly enough of this nursery. I recommend it wholeheartedly - not just to first-time parents, but to any parent looking for a place where their child will be truly cared for and cherished.
Thank you to every single member of staff for putting my mind and heart at ease every single day. You're exceptional!
Thank you so much Amy we are so pleased to have you with us. We are truly moved by your words
Our daughter has been at Alphabet Day Nursery for about 2 years and we could not be happier. Such great staff and she absolutely loves it. Childcare is costly everywhere these days, but at Alphabet, I am always happy that it's money very well spent. The staff are always prompt and helpful and as our daughter has progressed through the different age groups, she has flourished.
Thank you Adam, we will miss you all very much. Safe travels and hope to see you in 2025!
Our daughter settled quickly after starting and the settling-in process was very individualised to her. When I collect her every day, I am informed what she has been doing, what she has eaten and how long she has slept. The staff, many of whom have been at the nursery for a significant period of time, are always friendly and chatty. We would not hesitate to recommend Alphabet to other parents, our daughter absolutely loves it and despite only attending for a short period of time is already thriving. Thank you for going above and beyond Alphabet, we are so happy we found you.
Well now I can't do any more work as am crying - thank you so much, we are absolutely delighted you have joined the Alphabet Family.
We were looking for somewhere asap for my daughter and I was so worried as everywhere we had viewed just didn't fit her needs or the days, I found Alphabet and wow! They have been nothing but helpful from day 1 got us in straight away for inset days fitted around our schedule which is something we found so difficult to find in a nursery and the staff there amazing, so helpful and made leaving my daughter easier for me as I know she loves it here. Thank you to you guys for making it such an easy and stress-free transition for us both and we look forward to all the memories to be made with you.
Thank you so much, we are thrilled you chose to come and join the Alphabet Family.
However, I am writing this review in relation to an experience with the administrative team/head office.
Due to our changing circumstances at home, we informally asked one of the nurses about the 4-week leaving policy. Later that day we received quite a demanding e-mail from one of the administrators, asking us to confirm as soon as possible if we were leaving them, saying that they would waive the notice so that they could take in another customer.
My wife explained in a series of e-mails that we needed our babies to stay in the nursery for another month, the administrator continued to ask another 4 times for us to take our babies out as soon as possible.
This is akin to a restaurant kicking out a paying customer so they can get a new customer in, this is not how you should treat your customers, regardless of whether or not you are a small business.
There are two sides to every story and our experience of this was quite different. However we do not need to explain that here, it is personal to us/you and we do not feel the need to justify our request which was in line with comments made, queries about notice, emails we received and our previous...
The staff at Alphabet Nursery are wonderful! They are so welcoming and friendly to both my son and myself. I can talk freely to them about any worries or concerns I have and they do their absolute best to help. I trust them 100% with my son. Thank you for all your hard work, enthusiasm, knowledge and support. You are quite simply, amazing!
Thank you so much Holly, we are so happy you chose to join us.
I viewed a lot of nurseries and my judgement of them was proving my theory correct until I looked at Alphabet Day Nursery.
This all happened ten years ago and since then all four of my children have attended this nursery for three years each. My youngest still attends.
The staff are amazing and there aren't enough beautiful and wonderful words to describe them. They are truly amazing. I wouldn't trust leaving my kids anywhere else!
If it wasn't for the ladies at this nursery, my children wouldn't be where they are today as they have played a massive part in developing them and getting them ready for school. Thank you.
I cannot say thank you enough.
If you want to pick a nursery for your children, this is the one you should pick! Million per cent trusted and recommended.
P.S. The management is brilliant too.
Now in tears, this is so beautiful, thank you so much. We are going to start a campaign for baby number four - you can't leave us after all this time!
Whilst consoling her and thinking of options and ways forward I found it incredibly hard not to boast about just how amazing Alphabet is and how the day we came to visit back in 2018 we really did find a diamond for both my girls. Everything you do for our children and their development but also the love and care they get and the way the staff make us feel as parents is just incredible and irreplaceable. Conversations like this evening just hit home how lucky we are to have found you.
Thank you. For everything. We really appreciate it!
Fantastic and loveable staff, who make my daughter very happy. She absolutely loves going to Alphabet Nursery. Nursery staff play such an important role in our kids’ lives and I am so grateful that my daughter is so well taken care of.
That's wonderful, thank you so much, Carolina, we are so touched by your lovely words.
The Alphabet Day Nursery team is the best. I have known them for around ten years now when my niece started. Two ladies looked after her, and they were amazing. As soon as I had my first daughter, I knew she would go to Alphabet, and once again, one of the same ladies was her favourite until another lady joined the team! I am so happy with the Alphabet family that I have transferred to them just because I don't see anybody else that can look after my daughters better than them, and am saying daughters because my second daughter just started, and I can tell how much she loves it because I had no tears!
This is so beautiful, Laura; we're expecting number three soon, so you never have to leave us!
This is an all-round good nursery. The staff clearly care for the children and have good relationships with them. My kids come back with stories of all the things they've been doing which sound really engaging. The information given out to parents is comprehensive and the staff are happy to talk about any questions or concerns. My 4-year-old tells me the food is good too.
Thank you, Nick, very grateful for your lovely review.
Alphabet Day Nursery and their staff are absolutely fantastic; my eldest has been attending for nearly a year and my youngest has also just started - it was never even a question of taking the youngest anywhere else because our eldest has always been so happy there, she's excited to go in each morning. The staff are friendly, caring, and they have a real way with the kids. Highly recommend!
Thank you Amy, very grateful and so thrilled you will be with us for a few more years to come.
Very happy with the school the teachers are all lovely, very welcoming and there is always an update on my son's day, what he ate, how he is doing and if he had a good or bad day. They are always friendly and most importantly my son loves going to school.
Thank you C R, so happy you chose us and are happy.
