Review from L F (Mother of Child) published on 24 June 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our child has settled in really well. Noticeably more confident and his social skills are really developing. All staff are very friendly engaging and knowledgeable it doesn't matter who we speak to at pick-up time all the staff seem to be able to give insight into our little monkey's mood and activities that day even before they have read us the handover report. Very pleased.

First I would like to articulate my biggest appreciation and thankfulness to the nursery. We couldn’t have asked for anything better than the outstanding nursery for the care of our son. It is clear, that here he has found a place where he feels home, safe and trusts the key persons. We are very thankful for the fantastic

support over the last 2 years and the nursery will be the one thing we miss about the UK. Always will highly recommend it to anyone asking.

Review from Allyson K (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started Edwalton at 5 months during lockdown and now she is getting ready to leave preschool for primary school. I can't thank the staff at Edwalton Nursery enough. She has really blossomed into a confident little girl and the staff at Edwalton played a significant role in her development. Her time at Edwalton thus far, has had many highlights. To mention a few, the staff noticed her creative side from early on and supported its development. She's learnt how to build relationships and manage her emotions. Finally, in preparing her for school, the preschool team continues to do an exceptional job. The general knowledge and life skills taught in the room are second to none. It is also important to remember the fantastic administrative team and all that they do in the background on a daily basis to keep the nursery functioning. My daughter loves going in every day and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Edwalton to another parent/carer.

A well-equipped and maintained nursery with engaged and friendly staff. The focus on a child’s development needs is very good and gives tangible results. The outside play space is great and helps set this nursery apart from other local offerings.

I would just like to say thank you to Edwalton Day Nursery/Ladybirds room, as my little girl has settled in well into nursery life. We’ve only been at the nursery for 4 weeks and my little one has settled really well into Ladybirds and has made some lovely relationships with the staff team already. So happy to see my little girl settle, it feels so reassuring when am dropping her off. It’s a great start to my day, thank you to Edwalton Day Nursery.

Our little girl is being well supported on her transition from the ladybird room into her next room which will be the bumblebee room. Have been well kept up to date regarding her visits. And advised on what we can do to help with toilet training.

Review from Gill N (Mother of Child) published on 3 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at Edwalton Day Nursery during lockdown, and from the start, I was reassured that she would be well looked after; two years on, and she absolutely loves going. She does three full days a week and has formed some great relationships with staff and the children. Her social skills are fantastic, and I think that has a lot to do with attending nursery and learning to be around different people from a young age.

They are very good at planning tasks and fun things for the children to do, whether it be painting, making things, stories or playing outside. It’s a lovely nursery.

Overall Experience
The thing that makes this nursery so amazing is the staff. They are full of energy, and very encouraging and loving towards my daughter. She has blossomed through each of the rooms and my child loves going to the nursery. The rooms have lots to do and you get updates on progression via the app which is great to see.
It's not just the staff in the rooms that show an interest in our experience, the kitchen staff offered advice on diet restrictions which really helped and the admin and management team do their best to assist when I've asked. Everyone has been fantastic.

I would definitely recommend Edwalton Day Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery. It's been a great place for my daughter to start her learning experience. Thanks.

Edwalton Day Nursery has been an integral part of my family. My eldest attended and now my youngest, and both boys have always been happy going and talk about all the exciting activities and events that happen. The team are bright, cheery and very qualified to care for and bring joyful learning to them. I've always been confident that they have a great day. Thank you to the incredible outside space and learning facilities.

Both our children have gone to Edwalton Day Nursery and the staff, facilities and development culture have been outstanding. Our children have always looked forward to going to nursery which makes the morning routine so much easier. Thank you to a member of staff in particular who has formed a very special relationship with our youngest daughter.

Really happy with our son's first month at nursery it's hard for baby and parents settling-in but the staff have been very supportive. There's plenty to keep him entertained and I love the newsletter telling us what all the rooms have planned for the next week. I love that they get outdoors every day they can and all rooms have their own area to play.

Review from Victoria C (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I'm so pleased we chose Edwalton Day Nursery. Our little boy started in the caterpillar (baby) room at 10 months old and has now been attending for just over 3 months and has settled in wonderfully. The staff really care for my little one and his development and wellbeing and I trust them completely. The staff are knowledgable and respect each child for their individual character. They've been a huge support to us as parents during a challenging few months and the management team have also been very supportive. The activities always keep my little one entertained and the space, especially outdoors is lovely. The menu is varied and healthy. My boy is always clean (except for a bit of dinner or paint as expected) and well cared for and the staff always make us aware of any accidents (which of course happen to a nearly toddling baby) and are very attentive when he's not been well. They provide regular photos and development updates which we really appreciate. Excellent 10/10.

Overall Experience

Edwalton is a great nursery with amazing and attentive staff. My child has been attending since he was 7 months old and we have never had any problems, he absolutely loves attending. The staff are fantastic at making the children feel at ease with room transitions and settling in. They were brilliant and on the ball all throughout lockdowns and with the ever changing covid protocols.

Overall Experience
My little boy started nursery in July 2021. It has been a wonderful experience and it makes it so much easier leaving him when he’s so happy at nursery.
So far he has been in Caterpillar and Ladybird rooms and all the staff have been brilliant. They clearly have formed close bonds and care about him. He’s also made friends with the other children.
I also really appreciate everyone else who contributes to running the nursery so smoothly. From the first communication I had when we enquired to date they’ve been outstanding.
Due to Covid we had to pick a nursery without seeing children playing etc and I was nervous but I couldn’t be happier - it’s been an all-round excellent experience and would highly recommend Edwalton Day Nursery.

The only thing I would like more of is updates/photos on his days, particularly as we still can’t go in to see him playing.
