Ryan House, Nottingham, a GrandirUK Day Nursery

This nursery nurtured our little boy so well. He was adopted shortly before joining and I was terrified that he would not be ready for school 18-months later as he had a long way to go. Fast-foward to today and a confident little boy is leaving pre-school for the last time more than ready for big school. The staff are exceptionally skilled and caring. He was happy every single day- he thrived through the consistency and level of care provided. It takes a village and the Ryan house team were a crucial part of our village can't thank them enough.

When we started looking around nurseries, we knew we had to find the right balance between location and quality. We visited a few, but Ryan House really stood out to us.

The staff were fantastic from the start, and the settling-in sessions were brilliant. As our daughter is quite shy, we were even offered additional sessions to help her settle at her own pace.

I'll never forget dropping her off for the first time and crying as I left. The staff were so supportive, giving me tissues and even making me a coffee!

A year on, we absolutely love Ryan House and the community there. Kelly is wonderful, and the staff in both the baby and toddler rooms have been amazing. There are always lots of activities, plenty to do in the garden and so much thought put into the children's days. The food is fantastic too!

Our daughter has grown so much in confidence and is genuinely happy there. We're so glad we chose Ryan House and would highly recommend it to other parents.

The staff are great, attentive and have time to talk to you. If there are ever any issues they are happy to listen and take feedback on board. Kelly the manager is absolutely great and so knowledgable about elery years development.

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our children have received at Ryan House. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely care about every child, making them feel happy and secure every day. It's been amazing to watch our children grow in confidence, make friends, and learn so many new skills. We are so grateful to the whole team for everything they do and would highly recommend this nursery to other families.

My son started at Ryan House in April 2024 and just had his last day. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. The staff are incredibly supportive, caring and always approachable. It's clear that they genuinely want the very best for every child, providing them with excellent learning opportunities and experiences.

My son has absolutely loved Forest School and the little trips and visits they organise have really helped to broaden his experiences and make learning fun and meaningful. The nursery also does a wonderful job of welcoming parents through regular stay-and-play sessions, which has been lovely for building relationships and seeing what the children are doing.

Most importantly, I can see just how much my son has grown in confidence and independence during his time here. He is happy, eager to learn and I truly feel he is ready for the transition to big school thanks to the amazing support and encouragement he has received from everyone at the nursery.

My son has grown so much since starting at Ryan house. His communication skills, independence, and enthusiasm for learning have all improved noticeably. I really appreciate the regular updates and how the team keeps parents involved in their child's progress. Overall we have been very happy with the staff and highly recommend this nursery

Absolutely fantastic experience. Always go the extra mile and our child always feels great going there. Nutritious food and lots of snacks playful activities which are excellent for his development. Would recommend to any parent.

No concerns at all

A fantastic nursery. I'm so impressed by how well managed Ryan House is and how organised and attentive the staff are. There is such a welcoming atmosphere. Our children love all the special activities throughout the year and get opportunities like forest school, outings for lunch for Chinese New Year and practicing sports for sports day. Bit it's the staff who make it a wonderful nursery we're so glad we chose Ryan House for our kids.

The baby room staff were truly exceptional going above and beyond every day to create a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment. It's clear how much they genuinely care about each child, and that gave us so much reassurance as parents.

The transition from the baby room to the toddler room was handled brilliantly. It was smooth, thoughtful, and really tailored to our child's needs, which made a potentially big change feel completely natural and stress-free.

The toddler room continues that same high standard of care, with staff who are attentive, supportive, and encouraging of development and independence. The staff are also very mindful towards cultural and religious beliefs. We really appreciate the healthy and well-balanced menu, which shows a real commitment to the our child's wellbeing.

Overall, we feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery and would highly recommend it to any parent.

Our daughter attends Ryan House and absolutely loves it. She's happy to be dropped off every day and all of the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The app is updated throughout the day so we know her schedule and what she's eating, and we get photos of what they're up to regularly. We have never doubted that she is safe and well looked after when at nursery, and seeing her grow such strong relationships with the staff has been lovely.

The Preschool teachers are outstanding and ensured our eldest child was more than ready for school. They provided fun and educational sessions rooted in play. The teaching of phonics is so engaging, well taught and fun! Our child was always coming home singing songs and telling us what she had learnt that day. Learning phonics in an engaging and fun way like this really aligns with reception year and made her transition so much easier and ensured she has thrived at school. They developed and instilled a love of learning and curiosity in our children which we cannot thank them for enough.

She's made great progress in all aspects since she's been here and we receive good communication from the staff.

Ryan House Nursery are professional and welcoming Team.

At pick up time we receive detailed update on how my child day has been.

The staff go above and beyond with our child. Any worries or concerns are taken into account and managed professionally.

Our child throughly enjoys going to nursery.

Ideally I would like more pictures and video's of my child. Preferably on a weekly basis as they do grow up fast!

The nursery provides variety of different healthy foods.

The nursery also arrange stay and play sessions time to time which is great to see your little one's in their day to day environment.

Choosing a nursery is never easy, and like many parents, we first considered distance. After visiting more than eight nurseries, Ryan quickly stood out and remained our first choice. From the very beginning, the team made an outstanding impression-warm, genuine, and truly passionate about what they do.

What we loved most was the environment: spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed so children can eat, play, and rest in separate areassomething we felt was very important. The meal options also impressed us, with a varied and healthy menu that aligned with our Mediterranean background.

Most importantly, the staff are exceptional. They manage a very demanding job with kindness, patience, and positivity, creating an atmosphere where our daughter feels happy and cared for every day.

My 4 year old son has been attending this nursery from 6 months. It's a great nursery led very well by the management. You can see from the children's faces that they are all happy there. The level of education & play is just right and I feel that my boy is very well equipped to start school in the coming weeks. I appreciated that safety aspect and strict guidelines on entering the nursery for collection. All of the staff are warm and friendly and took great care of my son.

Our child has been attending the nursery since February 2025, and we are extremely pleased with the experience. The staff communication has been excellent, with regular updates promptly shared via the app. The team is fantastic - our child always recognises them, smiles, and seems very happy in their care. The staff make a great effort to create a stimulating play environment, offering a wide variety of activities each day and thoughtfully reorganising the room to provide better use of space. Additionally, the nursery is currently undergoing lovely decorative improvements, which reflect their dedication to creating an even better environment for the children. Thank you for all your hard work and care!
