Review from Mel R (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter loves coming here, she has made lots of friends, is learning lots and is well looked after. The weekly booklets they have for additional learning and development at home is brilliant and will set her up for an easy transition into reception. The staff in the Wise Owls are fantastic!

Review from Rhys J (Father of Child) published on 23 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my boys have been at Headstart for almost 2 years. Since starting the staff have been amazing. They know my children really well and support their development in all areas. My boys love going to nursery and on their days off talking about going in and when I tell them it’s a day at home. I cannot thank the staff enough for all the help and support they have shown my children during their time at Headstart.
The manager is great and is always happy to have a chat. I get daily feedback on how my children have been doing and having this time given is valuable and very much appreciated. My children love the food and on the way home I get a daily rundown of what they have eaten which always sounds amazing.
The enrichment activities that are on offer are fantastic. My boys are currently learning French, they visit home to talk to the older generation and walk around the local environment to support their learning.

I very happy with Headstart and couldn’t recommend it enough.

Review from Dean (Father of Child) published on 18 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We feel our daughter has developed a great bond with staff at this nursery, the staff appear to be very happy and positive in their work which is an important atmosphere for any young child to be in. Children do not hide their emotions so we know our daughter has been very happy at this nursery and we feel that she has developed so much through her time spent here. As parents, we are of course ever so grateful and proud of how far our daughter has come and a lot of this is due to the care, attention and support provided by the staff. This will be our daughter's last term at nursery and we feel that she is confident and well prepared to move on to the next stage of her young life when she starts primary school in September. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff involved with our child's development so far, you have been great in many ways, keep up the good work.

Overall Experience

My son has been at this nursery since he was 9 months old. He has been looked after like one of their own. He absolutely loves going, staff are friendly, the manager is very approachable and goes above and beyond for all the children. Activities such as rugby tots is a great touch and the thoughtful gifts they make for birthdays and Easter, Christmas, Mother's and Father's etc day are lovely keepsakes. Thank you Head Start for taking such good care of him.

Review from Harriet H (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter was at Head Start Day Nursery and my son currently attends. The nursery staff are so caring and attentive and have become a huge part of my children’s lives. I couldn’t ask for better role models and teachers.

My little girl was gutted to leave and my son loves going to nursery.

The setting is beautifully clean and they have put a lot of time into renovating the setting as well. There has been investment in new toys for the babies.

The children are creative and are able to express themselves.

There are lovely outdoor areas for the children to play.

All in all, I couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough! We love it!

Overall Experience

We have been using this nursery for the last 7 years and it has grown from strength to strength. Both of my (very different) sons have loved their time at the nursery because the staff get to know the children and help to encourage their development by tailoring their learning to their individual interests. It is always a lovely and warm atmosphere.

Review from Lynell L (Mother of Child) published on 8 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son joined when he was six months old and is now three. The staff are great... friendly, helpful, informative and supportive. The nursery is secure, bright, colourful and warm, with various areas for the children to explore, learn, relax and grow. He appears to love it more and more every day and loves experimenting with the new activities set out and exciting things to learn.

Communication is amazing as well as their patience and understanding. Highly recommend.

Review from Michelle M (Mother of Child) published on 8 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been going to Head Start from five months. He is only ten months now and as a single parent you do have concerns leaving your baby at such a young age but I needed to get back to work and I’d already chosen a different nursery for him and a relative said to have a look at Head Start first, as this is one of the best she had seen so far. I went to visit and put my son in for a trial session and knew straight away this was the nursery for me. The staff were amazing (and still are) from the first day he started so this is where he will remain until he starts school.

Overall Experience

We visited a couple of nurseries before choosing the one to send our firstborn to and I have to say we have no regrets sending them to Head Start. The staff are attentive and really seem to care for the children which gave us peace of mind that our little one was at the right place. They've come on leaps and bounds since attending and have created their own little personality, which we know has been enhanced by being at Head Start. Anyone that asks us about the nursery gets a glowing reference from us and we're happy with the choice we made.
