Review from Alex F (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Ryan House is a phenomenal nursery. Every day, activities are laid out for the children and they get such a variety. Our daughter loves it there and the key people always tell us what she's been up to and where we can support her or just celebrate in her learning. They subtly help the children to learn how to look after themselves and prepare for school/life, all in a really fun way and a relaxed environment. We came from a much more expensive nursery but our experience of Ryan House is exceptional in comparison - the processes and management all just work and it's a really happy, supportive atmosphere. The staff turnover is low which says it all really - they treat the staff well and help them progress in their careers - these happy staff go the extra mile for the children. I absolutely love it and I'm only sorry we didn't find it earlier for my other children!

Overall Experience

My first child attended Ryan House from age 10 months to 4 years (she's now in school), and now my second child attends the nursery. We only have positive things to say about Ryan House. The staff are brilliant and so attentive. Both children have always had the best time every day with so many activities to keep them busy. Their confidence has grown too, especially with my first child. The staff at Ryan House really helped her confidence grow ready for starting primary school.

Review from Hayley G (Mother of Child) published on 3 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Would be nice to see regular photos of the children during their time at nursery they seem to be very few these days. Can get confusing at times with specific event dates as informed of one date then changes to another needs to improve so that parents can plan. Since moving into preschool it would be nice to know future dates of when they will be assigned to the external activities - care home visits did not have any update on when or if they’re going.
Forest school dates when your child is assigned to these so that you have plenty of notice to get the relevant clothing etc.
I did overhear that the minibus was out of use but we should be being notified about this. Items of clothing going missing having to chase for them to be returned have actually given up as I shouldn’t be having to do this.

I would however like to say that the lady in preschool is always so welcoming, smiles and always provides great feedback on collections she truly is an asset to the nursery and the kids love her.

Review from L C (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been so impressed with all aspects of the nursery. The staff are wonderful and have helped my son to settle in well. I feel confident that I’m leaving him in an environment where he can learn and explore. We love receiving updates throughout the day and seeing what the children are up to. We would definitely recommend the nursery.

Reply from Charlotte Whyatt, Marketing and Communications Executive at Ryan House Day Nursery

Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. During the settling in process, children are supported and encouraged to go at their own pace so they truly feel happy, confident and secure in our nursery environment. Throughout the nursery day, children enjoy a great variety of stimulating activities which provide great learning opportunities.

Overall Experience

We’ve been really happy with Ryan House since our daughter started there in January. We had been nervous about it but all the lovely team have been so kind and supportive to our daughter (and us!) throughout. From the settling-in process, right through to today we’ve felt really happy and supported. They provide regular updates throughout the day. We love how they start the day by sharing what they have planned for the kids and how this helps development. The activities always look so engaging, imaginative, fun and we love that they also tie in themed play too - it’s been especially sweet seeing activities for World Book Day, World Down Syndrome Day and Easter recently. They also share photos which is reassuring to see our daughter having fun and settling in. They are great at updating us on her interests and development too and make suggestions of what we can do at home. The food made by the lovely chef always sounds healthy and delicious too. Thank you Ryan House!

Overall Experience

Ryan House has been fantastic with offering us space, helping my daughter settle in quickly and really good with communication with us as parents and my daughter as well. She has been in preschool since May 2023 and absolutely loves it. This is her 3rd nursery setting and the only one she enjoyed from the word go. The nursery set up is vibrant and engaging, the staff members are friendly, honest and conscientious. They make an effort to have different activities, and to know each child and their interests and weaknesses. I can see them having encouraged a lot of learning, confidence and social interaction in my daughter. We would choose Ryan House again for sure if we needed to and highly recommend it.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Ryan House Day Nursery enough. I am an incredibly anxious, first-time mum and the thought of putting my daughter into the care of strangers was so overwhelming, especially because my daughter has a litany of allergies. But Ryan House was simply incredible from day one. The amazing chef was the best teammate I could have in ensuring my daughter did not incur any allergic reactions whilst eating there. And the care she received from all of the staff was just incredible. She came out every day with a beaming smile, I received daily updates and photos on the app. I wish we didn’t have to leave! If you’re considering Ryan House, I urge you to take a tour and meet the staff and see how happy the children are. You won’t regret it.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It’s so great to hear that your little one is so happy here!

Our talented on-site chef caters to every child’s individual needs to ensure mealtimes are a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

Review from Ifeefa N (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has attended this facility for a fair few years and in those years has drastically grown in confidence. We picked this nursery for the behaviour of the children, 'forest school' and quirky extras it offers. The staff are exceptional, in particular her three favourites who my child adores and talks about. She has made friends for life here. Well done Ryan House.

Our daughter has attended another nursery pre Ryan's House but the change in her is massive. She waves goodbye and is happy to arrive at Ryan's House. She sometimes looks disappointed when I come to collect her!

Whilst her key person has changed a few times, the same staff are there which is usually a good sign. Our daughter has developed into a social and confident child with the help of the staff in the Tigers room.

Review from Lucy S (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are so pleased that we chose Ryan House Day Nursery for our three children. It has been amazing. The staff go above and beyond to make sure they know every child and to personalise activities and learning for them. Having a disabled daughter, it was really important that we found a nursery that understood her needs and supported her with her development. The staff have embraced the physio and speech and language programme which they do religiously and our daughter has come on leaps and bounds as a result. This is all down to the time and effort all the staff put in. We are extremely grateful to all the staff but particularly two members of staff for helping our daughter.
Our younger twins are also doing really well at the nursery. They love attending and the staff seem to know their interests really well.

Overall, an exceptional nursery that I would recommend highly.

Overall Experience

My child attends nursery just two afternoons a week and despite him not being there that often, the staff are invested in getting to know him and his interests in order to get the most out of his sessions. The pictures and videos we receive of him really look like he’s enjoying the surroundings, staff and other children which is so important. They always ensure the children are outside as much as possible as well as empowering them to go off on the climbing facilities, doing crafts, stories, songs etc. My child always comes home singing a new song he’s picked up at nursery! We’re so glad he attends Ryan House and would definitely recommend.

Overall Experience

My children are currently at Ryan House Day nursery. It is a fantastic nursery, great staff and management and brilliant facilities (climbing room, big field to play on, 'forest School' and trips out). Since attending Ryan House my children have developed so much. There are lots of activities and learning to get the children ready for school. My older, disabled child attended Ryan House and he came along so much due to the dedication and care of the staff. All of the staff are great with the children. The managers are also informative and do a great job. The feedback provided at pickup is detailed as well as in the app. This is the second nursery I have sent my children to and it is definitely the better one.

Overall Experience

Our child simply loves the nursery. He has a great relationship with the staff, they are extremely professional, super thoughtful, and as a parent we are so thankful for their hard work. We appreciate what they do on a daily basis. The kids get tons of sensory play, time outside, they create art and we especially like all the fun activities around public holidays and other festivities. We do get a monthly feedback call on how our child develops and to ask questions which is another great service. Can’t stress enough how much peace of mind it brings to parents knowing our child is in good hands and is actually having the best time, learning new things. The only negative point I want to mention is the outside area which could be a little bit less messy and look more inviting, but I truly believe the kids don’t care about this at all. We’d highly recommend Ryan House Day Nursery.
