Review from Stacey H (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
All the staff are amazing with my boy, they have gone over and beyond to help him grow his confidence and with his needs, I couldn’t ask for better staff looking after him, the manager has been so understanding and has helped us so much. I can’t thank you all at Harpole Day Nursery enough for what you have done for my son.

Thank you for giving him the best start in his preschool years!

Reply from Joanne Wright, Chief Marketing Officer at Harpole Day Nursery

Thank you very much for choosing us. It's been a pleasure watching your son grow.

Overall Experience

I cannot fault anything at the nursery, all members of staff are polite and caring, they know all of the children and treat them well. The food they have is amazing and nutritious, I think my son eats better there than he does at home! Knowing my son looks forward to and enjoys nursery has helped calm all my anxieties about him being in someone else’s care. The app they have to input how your child’s day is going is also updated regularly and again, is a nice way to be able to check how my son is doing. If there are any issues, they call me straight away and are always informative. They stick to the routine that we ask them to and are very adaptable if it changes day to day, depending on how my son is feeling or how well he slept the night before. Nothing is too much to ask from the staff and they are always happy to help. I will be recommending this nursery to all of my friends.

Reply from Joanne Wright, Chief Marketing Officer at Harpole Day Nursery

Wow. Thank you so much for such a glowing review. We are delighted to hear this and we'll be sure to pass your comments on to the team.

Overall Experience
My child has been attending Harpole Day Nursery since November 2021 and my second child will also be starting in November 2024. I can’t recommend this nursery enough, the staff genuinely care for the children, the rooms and outside space are brilliant and the range of food they provide is great.

I believe my child has really excelled through attending the nursery and I couldn’t be happier with the support he has received there.

Reply from Joanne Wright, Chief Marketing Officer at Harpole Day Nursery

That is really pleasing to hear. We can't wait to welcome your second child in November.

We’ve always been happy with our nursery from the baby room to the toddler room. Our little one progresses so well and learns so much from all the staff there. Communication with all the nursery heads is always good and we’ve had no issues there. The staff work tirelessly and we are ever so thankful!

So glad to hear that your child is progressing well and loving nursery. Thank you for your review.

Review from Tee H (Grandmother of Child) published on 9 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery is such a nurturing setting, they seem to go above and beyond for my grandchild, they have accommodated her needs as she may be on the spectrum and is currently having problems with her anxiety, they have been so patient, understanding, and very involved in her plan, they have facilitated an educational psychologist going in to observe my grandchild. Anything I have asked of them, they have never refused and if she had dietary requirements they jumped straight to it. I am so impressed and grateful. Thank you so much ladies you are all wonderful and the the manager is especially helpful and puts things in place to settle and help the development of my grandchild. What I also love is that they have an in-house cook who makes homemade nutritious and expansive food choices, which helps a young child explore different food groups. Love it.

Five stars from me!

Can’t recommend Harpole Day Nursery enough, my little boy has come on leaps and bounds since being there, I’m always at ease leaving him there, as I know he is well looked after, the nursery has a great team throughout, and it’s lovely that all staff get to know all the children, I will be sad when my son leaves to start school, but know they have given him a great start in his educational journey

Overall Experience
Our daughter moved to Harpole Day Nursery from another nursery and we could not have been happier with the move. The staff are friendly and have made our little one feel very welcome. She loves going and at each pickup asks when she can go again!
The staff provide fun and educational activities with clear links to early years foundation stage framework. The walks around the village and to see the animals in nearby fields are of particular enjoyment.

As parents, we have appreciated the clear communication from staff and via the app.

Review from K S (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A lovely home from home for my daughter to thrive and socialise. Communication about her day to day activities and wellbeing is always forthcoming via the app or on pick up. She eats better at nursery amongst her peers than at home. She has learnt so much from the practitioners and brings home some sayings and routines. She knows most of their names and has made some lovely bonds with friends and leaders alike. Boogie Beats is a firm fave. She rewards us with a sticker for a "Good Job" too. Thanks to the team at Harpole Day Nursery for everything.

Review from R P (Mother of Child) published on 17 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of my children attend Harpole now. Its a lovely small setting which allows the staff to focus on a small number of children.
My son has thrived since starting a couple of years ago and is now enjoying preschool which is really preparing him for school next year!
My daughter is in the baby room and is always happy to be dropped off. Communication via the app is great and the staff are always enthusiastic and engaged on pick up.
There are a range of activities each week and my son in particular enjoys Boogie Beats and the secret garden.
There have been quite a few staff changes and my son has struggled with a few of these, but on the other hand there are staff which have been there for years, so I think its just one of those things.

Its great to see some recent investment in the nursery, I hope this continues during my daughters time there.

Review from Crystal L (Mother of Child) published on 8 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter likes going to Harpole Nursery and always asks whether she'll be going in every day.
The nursery is really lovely so I am glad that I chose this over others. One of the main reasons was the time and dedication the staff gave to each student and also how friendly they were to us parents. The food menu is great as I really wanted my daughter to have a variety of freshly cooked meals which saved me a lot of time instead of going elsewhere to do pack lunches.
She loves climbing in the secret garden and loves playing outdoors. She learns so much at nursery that she comes home speaking more each day. The app allows us parents to know what our children ate and also what they did so I really like this aspect. The staff are wonderful and explains at the end of each day what they've done and how they got on.

Will be taking my youngest there as well later on. Highly recommended.

My son thoroughly enjoys the nursery. I feel at ease leaving my son there and I think the staff are brilliant. They always update me on anything I need to know about my son. The app is great, knowing what he’s eaten, his nappy changes and how much he has slept.

My little boy settled into Harpole Day Nursery really well and has really good relationships with all the members of staff in the toddler room.
My son's speech and understanding has come on a lot since joining the nursery and he is always so happy to be there.

Feedback at the end of the session is always great and in detail which leaves me happy knowing what he has been up to! Highly recommend!

Little one loves nursery and happily walks in every day without looking back. Days are full with lots of learning, activities and outdoor play, alongside a really varied food menu catering for allergies too which is amazing. Staff are all really friendly, helpful and informative. It's great to know they are in such good hands.

Overall Experience

All 3 of my children have enjoyed their time at Harpole. As they have progressed, their needs have been met and they have all blossomed. The youngest 2 are still at Harpole. It really is a home from home caring setting, which still stretches the children and piques their interest. Communication on drop off and pick up is excellent, I don’t feel like I have missed any part of their days. They are also really supportive of our family and what we are trying to achieve as a unit. Thanks!
