Me and my older daughter had a lovely morning at Hucknall Day Nursery! I've enjoyed a lovely coffee and my daughter was so excited about the lovely cakes and sweets that were served. It was a nice time talking with the staff and remembering about old memories from nursery, as my old daughter left the nursery two years ago. Just a lovely time with our second family. Thank you so much xx

Every single member of staff is so lovely and caring, we trust them completely and have always felt safe leaving our girls with them. Staff members always speak even when just passing by and always make time to have a chat at handover.
My daughters always have a great time and love going to nursery. They both came on leaps and bounds with their development since starting at HDN. There is plenty of time in the large outdoor space which was important for us. Inside there seems lots of different activities. The food is home cooked, well thought out and sounds delicious!
Sending our girls to Hucknall Day Nursery was one of the best decisions we've ever made for them and to be honest I dread the day we leave for the final time!
Thank you for such wonderful feedback! We're delighted your family has been part of the Hucknall Day Nursery family for so long. It's lovely to hear how much your girls enjoy nursery and how well they've developed. Your kind words mean so much to our team!

I can't fault how Hucknall day nursery have managed my daughters first few weeks in the baby room. She would become upset on drop off and collection but the staff in the baby room have really built a bond with her so now she is happy to go in which reassures me she is enjoying it. I receive updates and photos throughout the day of her getting involved in activities which again is so reassuring that they are supporting her development everyday that she attends. One of managers, Kym, is very approachable and always available to deal with any queries.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We're so pleased to hear that your daughter has settled so well into our baby room and that the team has been able to build such a special bond with her. We understand how emotional those first few weeks can be, so it's fantastic to know that she now arrives happy and confident, giving you reassurance that she is enjoying her time with us.
The love and effort they have put into my children who have attended can not be faulted. Nothing has ever been too much trouble and they have worked closely with me and my husband to make sure my youngest son's needs are met.

The love and effort they have put into my children who have attended can not be faulted. Nothing has ever been too much trouble and they have worked closely with me and my husband to make sure my youngest son's needs are met.
My youngest has Down syndrome and I strongly believe that he has made so much progress in life due to him attending this nursery. All children are safe and loved whilst attending nursery and have so much fun throughout the day.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear how happy you have been with the care and support provided to your children. Creating a safe, loving, and inclusive environment where every child can thrive is at the heart of what we do. It's wonderful to hear about your youngest son's progress and how well our team has worked alongside your family to meet his individual needs.
They make every child feel special and wanted. After my older children's first day at school every staff member asked how it went and how they are. They nurture and support both children and parents and make nursery an enjoyable place for everyone!

The staff are absolutely wonderful, caring, kind, patient and genuinely invested in the children. Both of my children have been made to feel safe, loved and valued, and it is such a comfort knowing they are in such capable hands when I'm not there.
The amount of care and attention they give to each individual child really stands out. They support their development, encourage their independence and make learning fun, all while creating such a warm and welcoming environment.
Having already experienced the nursery with my first child, choosing it again for my second child was an easy decision.
A huge thank you to the whole team for everything you do. You really do make a difference to our children and give parents such peace of mind.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted that you've chosen us for both of your children and that you've felt so confident in the care they receive. Your kind words mean so much to the whole team!

I attended the Mother's Day afternoon tea the nursery and it's such a lovely experience to be able to share that with my little girl. She gets so excited when I'm able to visit and real care goes into these special events like mother's day, Christmas etc.

Hello, I am Kym, and I have been part of Hucknall Day Nursery since 2003. I began my childcare journey as an apprentice, completing my Level 2 qualification before progressing to Level 3 and, later, achieving my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of supporting so many children and families during some of the most important years of a child’s life. I love watching children grow in confidence, develop new skills, and discover the world around them. Being a part of those early years and helping children thrive is what makes my role so rewarding.
Having lived in Hucknall for many years, I am incredibly proud to work in a nursery that plays such an important role within the local community.
We have built strong relationships with generations of families, and I am passionate about creating a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, happy, and valued every day.
My door is always open for a chat, whether you would like to discuss your child’s development, share feedback, or simply get to know us better.
