Review from Pippa B (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has had such a lovely experience at this nursery so far. The staff are incredibly friendly and caring, and they supported the settling-in process so well, which made a huge difference for us. The meals provided are great, and we really appreciate how much time the children spend outside exploring and playing. We've also noticed so many educational benefits already - our child is learning and developing so much in a happy, nurturing environment. Highly recommend.

Review from Phillip D (Father of Child) published on 26 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We love the staff here and the staff are consistent. Our son has been in two rooms now and they've been great at settling him both times. They don't rush it and make sure he's comfortable before anything else. He always enjoys the food, and they spend lots of time outside which is great to see. Really happy with the place.

Review from Anusha P (Mother of Child) published on 21 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son started attending Edwalton Nursery at just 5 months old, and now, over a year later, he still absolutely loves it. So much so that he gets upset if we pick him up a little early :). The staff are brilliant - caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in his wellbeing. We always feel informed thanks to the nursery app, which keeps us updated on his daily routine and development. His key caregiver is wonderful at sharing little moments from his day, like when he says a new word or tries something for the first time. He is in Ladybird room and we can see his confidence developing day.
As a family who follows Hinduism, we really appreciate how considerate they are during our holy month, especially with his dietary requirements. We couldn't be happier with the care he receives.

We would recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience

My daughter started at Edwalton at the end of 2025 and we have so far been really happy there. She took to her room and key worker really quickly during the settling in period. Which was designed specifically for her needs. She loves going there and is very happy with all the singing and dancing and messy play. She eats all her meals and naps well. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming from the word go and the admin staff are very helpful with any questions. Very happy with our choice. Thank you

Overall Experience

Our little girl started at the nursery when she was 11 months old. The staff were/are so welcoming and put us at ease straight away, as the settling in period is always difficult. We have noticed a huge difference in our daughters development since she has started within the caterpillar room. Communication is great from the staff and the information they provide on the nursery app to show our daughters daily activities. Thank you!!

Review from Giulia A (Mother of Child) published on 5 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I honestly cannot thank the nursery team enough for the love, care, and attention they show our son every single day. From the very beginning, we felt completely reassured that he was in safe and nurturing hands. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and filled with positivity, which makes such a difference for both children and parents.The Caterpillars ladies are absolutely fantastic. They are kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It's clear that they truly care about each child as an individual. They pay close attention to the little details - whether it's noticing new milestones, encouraging new skills, or simply understanding when a child needs extra comfort or reassurance. That level of attentiveness means so much. I am truly grateful to the entire team for their dedication, professionalism, and the genuine love they show. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing my son is in such caring and capable hands.

Our little boy started at Edwalton Day when he was 18 months old. We had just moved to the area. Six months later, we are so pleased with our choice. The facilities are fantastic, particularly the outside space. Our little boy has come on really well in terms of development and loves his days at nursery. The staff have been brilliant. Thank you Edwalton Day.

Overall Experience
We've had a great experience with this nursery so far. From the start, the staff have been friendly, welcoming and supportive. Our son started recently, and we know the settling in period can be tough, but the caterpillar team really help him feel safe, comfy and happy.

Communication with parents is very good. Were always kept up to date on Tai's routine, meals and activities. It's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and pay attention to their individual needs. Were very happy with the nursery and caterpillar team.

Overall Experience

My daughter started nursery at just over 10 months old and has settled in wonderfully. I cannot recommend the nursery enough, every single member of staff are super polite and positive. I love the daily sheets as they keep me well informed and the daily updates on the app is great to see what my daughter is getting up to throughout the day. She has really thrived at nursery already and coming home super happy!

Overall Experience
Both our daughters have been at Edwalton Nursery since they were 20 months and 4 months old, respectively. Both the girls have settled well, feel very supported and guided. The staff listen very well to your needs and are very attentive.

When my youngest moved from the caterpillars (baby) to the ladybird room, it was a significant but a very, very positive move for them. I found the staff in all rooms very supportive.

Overall Experience

Edwalton Day Nursery is excellent, cannot recommend it highly enough. It feels like we are part of their extended family. Warmth, care, and professionalism are shown in every interaction with the staff. My son is supported to thrive with lots of care and attention. He is learning a lot while he is at nursery and there is a lot of care put into the activities, and toys on offer, with new toys and equipment being bought regularly. Mostly I appreciate the warmth and love shown to my son by all the staff so that he has settled well (even the transitions to new rooms) and thrives. Thank you!

Overall Experience

My son has truly thrived at Edwalton Day Nursery. The staff are fantastic, they have a genuine bond and expertly managed both his behaviour quirks and food allergies. He loves the outdoors, rain or shine, and his social skills have blossomed. We are so impressed with his progress and the warm, supportive environment. We appreciate the updates we receive and would love even more regular communication about his days.

Review from P N (Mother of Child) published on 16 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

A fantastic nursery and one that I have recommended to many parents. Both my children have been happy there. All the staff are lovely and helpful. They provide thorough feedback each time. They know the child's strengths and weakness well and work with what is best for the child. My youngest currently attends and I have seen how much he has developed with his skills since being at this nursery. He is always very happy at pick up. Once I have dropped him off I know he is in safe hands. Excellent facilities and an amazing forest school and outdoor space. Pre-school do a an exceptional job in preparing children for school. Meals are nutritious and dietary needs catered for. I cannot fault this nursery. A huge thank you to all the staff as it is due to their hard work and diligence that makes the nursery an excellent place.

Overall Experience

Our son has been going to Edwalton Day Nursery for almost 2 years now and is about to leave preschool to start reception in September. We couldn't be happier with our choice. Under the thorough and consistent guidance of the nursery team, he has thrived and developed into a socially confident little boy ready for the next phase of his life. Everything from safeguarding to nutrition and the educational aspects of this setting has been exceptional, but the staff and the management are what obviously have made a huge difference. We are very grateful to Edwalton Day Nursery for taking such good care of our son.
