Review from Rhian L (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been coming to nursery since my daughter was just under 1 year old and she is in the baby room. She settled in so quickly, which gave us so much reassurance, and she is always so happy to go in.

All of the staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming and caring, and it's clear how much they genuinely look after the children. She eats really well there, enjoys lots of lovely activities and has made some lovely little friends too.

Communication has always been brilliant, there are always updates on the app and emails are answered quickly and staff are always helpful and supportive. We've seen such lovely progress in her development since attending and are so happy with how well she is doing. We couldn't be happier with our experience so far and would highly recommend the nursery.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Harpole Day Nursery

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with us, Rhian.

We are delighted to hear that your daughter settled so quickly into the baby room and that she enjoys coming to nursery each day. We understand how important those early days are for families, so it is...

Review from Kavya S (Mother of Child) published on 28 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff are exceptionally professional, caring, and genuinely dedicated to every child's development and wellbeing.

From the very beginning, the team made our daughter feel safe, welcomed, and valued. Her confidence, communication skills, and social development have improved tremendously since joining. The learning activities are always creative, engaging, and well-structured, providing the perfect balance of education and fun.

What truly makes this nursery outstanding is the warmth and commitment of the staff. Communication with parents is excellent, and it is clear that every child is treated with patience, kindness, and individual attention.

The environment is clean, safe, and nurturing, and we feel completely reassured knowing our daughter is in such capable hands each day.

We are extremely grateful to the entire team and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for exceptional childcare and early years education.

Review from C H (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter is absolutely thriving in this Nursery. She has made many great friendships and adores all the staff. Her language and learning is coming on leaps and bounds. Her development has always been a focus and the Nursery staff help teach her and set further learning skills to achieve. My daughter loves all the imaginative play, music and dance activities. We can check in on her throughout the day on our parent app for peace of mind and even see photos of her. The food is amazing, varied, healthy and nutritious with the odd special treat. The Nursery makes Occasions such as Christmas and Mother's Day extra special which is such a lovely touch. We would recommend this little Nursery to any parent/guardian. It feels like another part of our family, so supportive. We can't thank you all enough. Thank you!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Harpole Day Nursery

We are delighted to read how much your daughter is thriving at our nursery and the wonderful progress you are seeing in her language and learning. It's lovely to know that the care, communications, and special celebrations make it feel like such a supportive, family environment.

Overall Experience

The nursery has been in our lives for over 5 years (2 kids). We have been super impressed with the care and attention our children have received. They provide a loving and friendly atmosphere. The children always return home happy, and we have never needed to raise any concerns about anything. I would recommend the nursery to anyone if asked. The staff are brilliant. We will miss this place when our son starts school in September.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Harpole Day Nursery

It is lovely to read how happy you have been with the care we have provided. We are proud to have been part of your children's early years of education. Thank you very much for recommending our nursery.

I have seen my little girl flourish so much since she started in January. It took her a little while to fully settle, but I know she is in safe, caring hands. She has developed a good bond with the staff in her room. I receive updates throughout the day and lovely photos.

The staff follow her needs well, and I have noticed a big leap in her development. Being an anxious mother, I feel happy knowing how well looked after my daughter is.

Overall Experience
My son started in January after being at previous setting and not having a great experience. Management were understanding and caring from the moment I called looking to move my son into the nursery.

He has settled so well and we have seen a genuinely change to his happiness now going to and from nursery. Staff are all so friendly and it really shows how much they care and want to understand your child. I'm so glad we can send our son here and we fully trust the team to look after him and help him grow into a wonderful young boy. Thanks so much! 100% recommened :)

Overall Experience
I feel at ease leaving my little one at nursery, he has settled in very well (started full time in Jan 2025), even if he got sick a lot, unfortunately due to be expected and very common.
I love the app and constant updates, most important for me is that I can see the staff is really caring and really cares about his wellbeing and happiness.
Thank you so much to two specific members of staff especially.
Also food options are great and they get offered fresh and varied food options.

I am now recommending this nursery to a few friends for their little ones.

We have enjoyed our first month at nursery. The staff are welcoming and have reassured us by giving regular updates throughout the day. Our son has settled in so quickly with the help of the caring staff. Harpole offer a wide variety of food options, taking allergies seriously. All of our wishes have been met and we love the cosy, family environment. We are so glad we picked such a wonderful nursery!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Harpole Day Nursery

Thank you for recommending our nursery. We aim to support families from settling in sessions at registration through many important milestones, healthy and nutritious food, exciting learning experiences, and onwards to starting school.

Review from I L (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The best nursery! Both of my kids love(d) going there. They develop so well in there in all aspects - being independent, potty training, good eating habits, basic phonics, numbers, etc. But what the nursery has been consistently great at during those couple of years, is teaching kids kindness. They raise them to be good people, and kind to each other. Thank you!

Kindness is so important and that is lovely to hear. We'll make sure your review is passed onto the team.

Both of my children have progressed so much since starting Harpole Day Nursery. They have developed great relationships with their key workers which gives me peace of mind when returning to work! I love the regular updates via the app and see what they get up to. It's lovely to see how they are progressing. Both of my children also have dairy allergies and the way they manage this and provide alternatives has been great!
