Both of my daughters have attended Serendipity's Day Nursery & Pre School Balderton over the last five years. The care they have received is fantastic and the nursery staff are always very helpful. Facilities, learning and activities are excellent.

Review from Paige D (Mother of Child) published on 19 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
In August of last year, I made the difficult decision to place him into the nursery. At the height of the pandemic and as a first-time parent, I had a lot of worries. The staff at Serendipities not only listened to my fears but did everything possible to ensure that the change went as smoothly as possible. Right in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, these fantastic ladies have supported and helped through everything. They provide a level of care that equals what he would receive at home. I am forever grateful that they made the process easy and continue to provide such outstanding care to my little world. Everything from the meals he eats, to the activities they do, are at an excellent standard.

Thank you all so much!

Reply from Becky Smith, Manager at Serendipitys Day Nursery & Pre-School Balderton

Overall Experience

Our son has attended the nursery for the past two years and like any parents, we were anxious at first when leaving my son at the nursery. However the family centred approach from all the staff has been excellent from the beginning. The confidence and development of our son has gone from strength to strength and we have the nursery to thank for helping my son on his journey. Outstanding provision.

Overall Experience
The new staff have been fantastic.
The new manager has been brilliant and always keeps me informed on how he is doing and always listens to any concerns I have. Shes always so smiley and he has taken to the change well considering he normally hates change.

Well done to all the staff; he been coming to Serendipitys for over 2-years now, and you have always gone above and beyond.

Review from Heidi B (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been going to Serendipitys since he was 9-months-old. He is quite an anxious child at drop off times and always has been, but everyone helps him and me to feel at ease if we are upset. I am always told I can ring up to see how he is at any time, which I often do!

I also work in a nursery, but not at any point, have I thought of moving my son to my nursery as he is happy. The nursery is small, but that does not stop him from being able to play and learn and be happy. I would recommend Serendipitys to anyone.

Overall Experience

I’m so glad I picked Serendipitys, Balderton for my (at the time) 9-month-old baby. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and nothing is ever too much. The communication between parents and staff is also excellent. At first, I was worried about sending my daughter to nursery being so young. However, I was soon at ease. She absolutely loves it and she’s come on loads since she started. Thank you Serendipitys.

Review from Gaz C (Father of Child) published on 3 April 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Staff are friendly and clearly great at what they do; which is reflected in my child's behaviour and enjoyment at the nursery.
If there are ever additional concerns, they will listen and keep you updated where ever needed.

This, as a parent, helps me to know that my child is looked after as an individual child, as well as, amongst a group.

Serendipitys have been nothing but brilliant with our daughter. She absolutely loves nursery and the staff there. They are very flexible and will always help, we have had some tricky times over the last six months due to personal issues and they have supported the family fabulously. I would highly recommend.

Review from Tanya H (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Serendipitys have made my son feel so welcome. He's a unique little man that they understand very well. He has special dietary requirements which have never been an issue and handled with vigilance and care. They keep me updated when I am at work which really has helped me go back from maternity leave and accommodated my shifts which I'm so grateful for. My son was recently poorly and they informed me right away. I drove straight over to get him and felt reassured when I arrived as he was having a hug which is a massive comfort for my son. I've given them excellent throughout.

Overall Experience

The nursery is undergoing refurbishment. This is being handled well by all the staff. The children all play well together and have been out on visits to the part, fruit tasting and have been baking regularly. My little boy asks to go to nursery, he enjoys the themed activities each week.

Overall Experience

Couldn't have asked for a better nursery to put my daughter into, it has helped her gain confidence being around other children and really helped with her speech. The staff are really friendly and I always receive a full report of her day. A real homely nursery with lots to do. I feel confident that I can leave my daughter in a happy fun environment and also learning new things every day.

Review from Shannen B (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

As a first time mum, I was very nervous about taking my child to nursery, however, the staff and management made me feel a lot more at ease. The nursery is a small nursery which means my daughter has built relationships with the staff in her room and also staff which don't work in her room regularly. The nursery is a home from home environment which I feel has helped my daughter settle a lot more quickly. The activities the baby room provide are amazing and there is always something different/new for them to do every day. They take the babies out on a walk most days so my daughter is always visiting different parts of the community, library, park, lake to see the ducks. Since starting the nursey back in August 2019 my daughter's development has increased and I really do feel all of the above is a contribution to this.
