Review from Lisa R (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son went to summer camp and throughout Halloween half term and I can't fault it at all. The staff are so friendly. The food which the children have is really good. The staff do so much with the children, they have days out and do lots of learning things as well. My son was always coming home saying how much he loves it there. My son has tried other nurseries but he never really settled in until he came here. The staff make such a effect with every child. My son will keep coming here.

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS NURSEY TO ANYONE - YOUR CHILD WILL HAVE SO MUCH FUN.

Overall Experience

I am really delighted we chose Children's House for our little girl. She has a wonderful time at nursery painting, reading, cooking, doing tiny talk or simply pottering with her friends. If not that, she is outside with her friends exploring the garden or visiting the library. The staff at all levels really go out their way to get to know every child. There are no stressful regimes, and always someone to go to with questions or concerns. It is obvious that every child is treated as an individual and encouraged to feel confident and secure. A big plus is the fantastic logbook kept for each child by staff as a record of their time at nursery. This is a wonderful collage of photos, pictures and anecdotes that we get to keep, and which has really given us a glimpse of what our little girl gets up to every day, and how she is learning. What we see is a happy, confident little person who always comes home with new words, new songs and lots of enthusiasm for the next day.

My daughter loves her time at nursery. Each day has well planned activities and lots of outdoor time. I love how they have weekly topics that are structured around the children's current interests.
The staff are fantastic and make the nursery a home from home as they are so caring.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

What I most like about Children's House Nursery is the friendly "home from home feel". The staff are very friendly and warm. I always receive a lot of feedback from them about my son's day, which for me as a mum, is very important to know what he has been doing all day, what he has learnt, his ups and downs. My little boy quickly learnt to trust the staff and for me, this was very encouraging. I know he is in a safe, loving environment. The management put a lot of work in refurbishing the nursery. Baby and toddlers room look great. They provide very stimulating and fun environment for my son's development. My son is part of the nursery family and thrives in this loving and caring environment. I would have no hesitation in recommending Children's House Nursery to other parents.

Review from Catharine (Mother of Child) published on 17 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy absolutely loved his time at Children’s House. He developed in leaps and bounds thanks to the care, support and enthusiasm of the nursery’s exceptional staff who showed boundless levels of energy and patience. The facilities are excellent, with brightly coloured rooms, giving the nursery the feeling of being a genuine home from home. Outdoor activity is encouraged whenever the weather permits, with a lovely garden for the little ones to run around in - the real-life pets also make a nice addition! He always came home exhausted, which was a good sign that he’d enjoyed a stimulating, jam-packed day of fun, stimulation and learning. I’d strongly recommend Children’s House to any parent looking for a nursery that offers a warm and inclusive environment where each child is considered for their own, particular needs. I’m confident that my son has made friends that will last him a lifetime and gained an invaluable boost in his development.

Review from Becky L (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 2 children have both been attending Children's House since they were about 9 months old. My daughter is now in their before and after school club and we regularly use the holiday club too. They have a close relationship with a local school and do daily pick-ups and drop offs at the school, which is invaluable to me as a working Mum. It means I can drop both children off in the morning at the same time and collect them together later, confident that they'll have fun and be well looked after. My youngest is doing well there too - he loves all things creative and gets lots of opportunities in this area that I would never have thought of. All in all I'm very happy with the provision and excellent staff at this nursery and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Overall Experience

This is a lovely nursery and I am so pleased with the care my children get here, in both the new under 3's unit and the after school club. We've used this nursery for the past four years and have never doubted the care and enrichment our children get. Since the new managers took over last summer the nursery has only got better. The new under 3's unit is fabulous and we're very excited about the plans for the outdoor areas. A great nursery, which I'd highly recommend!

Review from Rosanna C (Mother of Child) published on 29 March 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son is in pre-school at Children's House Nursery and he really enjoys himself. The staff that work with him are amazing (2 extra special ladies) and have really brought him out of his shell. He is always very busy painting, sticking or baking and has a great time. He was a page boy at the pre-school Wedding dressed as a power ranger and loved it when the Fire brigade visited and the children were all very involved. I would highly recommend Children's House Nursery to any parent wanting the best for their little one's!

This is an excellent nursery. The staff are very attentive and caring and our children have been very happy over the few years we have used the nursery. They have recently upgraded the facilities and the environment is great too.

Whenever I pick my niece up from nursery she can't wait to tell me about her day! She chats to me all the way home about the different things she does at Nursery and we have a very happy little girl when we get home! The staff are amazing and always going out of their way to help! I would recommend to anyone in the area...a really amazing nursery.
