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

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.

Our child has settled so well. We are beyond pleased with the nursery in general.

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!
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.
Fab staff, always goes above and beyond. Never any problems that can't be dealt with. Very accommodating. Keep up the great work team.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so pleased to read how happy you are with our team's support.
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.
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.
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.

Harpole Day Nursery is a wonderful setting for child development. Throughout my child's time at the nursery, I have been impressed with the whole experience on offer to the children. The staff are attentive and the facilities cater for their development. I'm looking forward to the future years with Harpole Day Nursery as my child develops and their siblings join.
We are so pleased to hear that you have had such a positive experience with us. We strive to support your child's development in a nurturing, engaging environment, and it's lovely to know that this has been your experience.
My little one absolutely loves everyone at the nursery, his teachers and friends. As a family we are very happy with his progress at Harpole day nursery. The staff are very nice and go out of their way.
The team will be so happy to read your review. We are delighted that he is enjoying his time at nursery and is forming new friendships.
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 :)
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We're so pleased to hear that your son has settled in happily and that you feel supported by our team. It means so much to know you trust us to care for and nurture him. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
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.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so glad to hear your little one has settled in well and that you feel at ease. It's wonderful that you appreciate the care, updates, and food options. Your recommendation means so much to us.
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!
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. We are delighted to read how welcome you have felt and that the app keeps you up to date throughout the day.
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!
My little boy loves nursery. I really like how he warms to everyone. He loves the workers and the people and he talks nonstop about the activities.
Always given amazing feedback on collection. Friendly staff.
Happy with the setting and care of my child. She settled quickly and has been happy and content. She has learned a great deal and has come on so much with her development. I always feel I am kept well informed and communication is very good. Very satisfied.
Our little boy has a fantastic time at nursery. The staff regardless of which room they are based in, know our little boy so well. He runs into the nursery and we love knowing how safe he is there. The staff go above and beyond for special events too. We would recommend Harpole to anybody.
Harpole is always really informative when we pick up. They have been extremely supportive towards potty training in the toddler room. My child goes one day a week currently and they are perfect for her needs. Looking forward to increasing her days.
The loveliest team. Always there to talk to and help with any questions you have. I was so apprehensive about nursery and leaving my little boy, but it was the best thing I’ve done. He has come on leaps and bounds, and I feel confident he is left in great hands.
The team will love to read your kind words; thank you very much.
