The nursery is such a happy environment and I never have to worry my son is not in safe hands when I drop him off. He has been attending for about 7 months now and has transitioned between a couple of rooms since starting. Transitions were handled really well, including communication about changes to key workers and even adjusting them based on who he formed more of a bond with. There is a very low staff turnover rate, a number of staff have worked here for many years - this is such a positive and makes this nursery stand out compared to others in the area. Communication is excellent and they are always planning thoughtful things for the children to do.
Thank you for your review of Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery. Our warm, friendly team work hard to ensure that transitions between rooms are handled as smoothly as possible. Maintaining excellent communication with our families is important to us and we want you to feel connected and involved with...
They are clearly incredibly dedicated and imaginative in creating memorable activities for the children based on their interests and topical events. It was a big change but the team did everything to ensure settling in went really well. Another review mentioned a hope for investment in outdoor space, but all rooms do have provision to go outside and this is also supplemented by preschool visits to Ruddington Forest School. The food menu is impressive and our child is clearly a huge fan! There is a wide range of experience and staff clearly know the children extremely well.
Thank you, everyone!
Thank you for your review of Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery. We're delighted to hear how supported you've felt by our team, and that the settling-in process was made smooth and reassuring during such a big transition. It's great to know that you value both our outdoor opportunities and the...

We've had a very good experience ever since our son started 6 months ago. The staff are very personable and caring. Our son seems to enjoy his time there and has picked up various new skills whilst in nursery.
Thank you for your review of Radcliffe-On-Trent Day Nursery. It's great to hear that your child is enjoying his time with us! Our warm and friendly team provide a range of fun and engaging activities for the children each day which are carefully devised to provide plenty of opportunities for learning.
Our child has been going to Radcliffe nursery since he was 11 months old. He is now 2 and a half and he is still there. He loves to go. he loves the staff and is always happy when we drop him off. His confidence has come on in leaps and bounds and he is full of chatter when we pick him up. I feel so comfortable dropping him off and couldn't recommend the staff more. He does lots of activities there and is learning something new every day. The turnover of staff is low and you feel like you know them all really well. I couldn't recommend the place more strongly. It's fab!

Our son has been going to this nursery since he was one, he's now in the Preschool room. He absolutely LOVES his time there. Feedback from staff is consistent and communication is prompt and effective. They have supported his through the EYFS curriculum but also added so much fun and play in that you wouldn't notice. I would recommend them to any parent starting that scary process of choosing a nursery.
Thank you for your review of Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery. We are so glad that your son has a lovely time with us! We really do value parent partnership and work with all parents, new and current, to ensure they are always communicated with, are in the loop, and that two-way conversations are continuously being held.
The staff at the nursery are great helping with every development need of my 3 year old. He has made some great friends and always has a fun day whether that's been in the newly refurbished garden or upstairs in the sensory room. Great variety of meals offered and I have absolutely no worries leaving him here for the day! :-)

Our daughter has been at the nursery for just over two week and we are so impressed with all of the staff and the management of the Nursery. We can already see daughter's development coming on so much in such a short space of time. No complaints whatsoever and the app and level of communication is so helpful and reassuring following recently returning to work after maternity leave
Thank you for your review of Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery. We are really happy to hear that your daughter has settled in so well and that you have been reassured during your transition back to work, we know it can be a daunting time. We're glad we can provide you with clear and regular...
The staff and the care provided is outstanding. The facility is great but is an old building and the most has been made of it but a small amount of money invested to create a messy area/creative space outside or trips to a forest school would enhance the children's learning and create a great opportunity to help with their mental health.
Thank you for your review of Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery. We are so pleased to hear that you are happy with the care and education our team provides to your family! You will be pleased to hear that our garden is due a refurb soon and will be adding more value to your child's daily nursery experience and outdoor time!
My Daughter has attended Radcliffe Day Nursery for 4 months now and it has been the best decision we as parents have made for our little girl. The transition into the setting was amazing. The nursery were extremely communicative with me as an anxious Mum and couldn't do enough to keep me updated with how my daughter was getting on in those early days. The transition was so smooth because of all the hard work all the staff put in. My daughter has excelled in so many ways since becoming a part of the nursery. She adores going in and already feels comfortable going to every staff member that answers the door. I am so so impressed with everything this nursery offers. From the activities the children take part in, to the extra touches of cards etc, the wide choice of meals and just that they all genuinely care for my baby. Her needs are ALWAYS met and so are mine as a parent. I cannot thank Radcliffe Day Nursery enough for all they have done for my little girl.
Thank you for your review of Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery. We are so glad that the transition to nursery has gone well and that both you and your daughter felt supported throughout! Parent partnership is a top priority for us - we know you want to be involved in their day-to-days with us and...
My daughter absolutely loves nursery - every day the staff here make her feel loved and welcomed and I can see that she is learning so much. Everything from the food to the communication home is just wonderful. I genuinely couldn't ask for a better place to send my daughter when at work.

Great nursery, our daughter really enjoys it, she has come on so much joining and is always happy to go in. The staff are really friendly and engaging and you can tell that she's well looked after. We really like this nursery.
Thank you for your review of Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery. It makes drop-off so much easier when you know they're happy and having fun while learning, doesn't it? We are grateful you chose to trust us with your daughter's care and education - it is something we do not take for granted.
This nursery is amazing - all the staff are attentive and work with us to meet the needs of our children. The kids are making good friends here too. The staff are always keen to tell us what the kids have done in the day.

Our little boy has been attending Radcliffe-on-Trent Day Nursery for around 18 months now and he thoroughly enjoys his time there. Each target he's been set has been built upon and it is evident that he's being guided and taught the skills to achieve these, rather than him just meeting them in a developmental manner. He has good relationships with staff and children alike - even ones not in his room, which gives it a lovely family feel. He enjoys a wide range of food (much of which he wouldn't even consider touching at home!). We're beyond happy with our experience and the staff - we couldn't be more thankful for our little boy being loved by those caring for him throughout the day.

My daughter is always full of smiles and chatter when I pick her up from nursery. The food and activities are varied, and all the staff are very engaging and friendly. Couldn’t fault the nursery if I tried!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our friendly team devise a range of fun, engaging activities for children to enjoy throughout the nursery day. Our qualified nursery chefs serve up tasty, nutritious meals which are packed with delicious flavours.
Preschool have played a key role in my daughter’s potty training success! In particular, the staff have supported her in wanting to wear pants and use the toilet. We faced resistance and ultimately gave up at home but the perseverance and enthusiasm pre-school and nursery have given to her has paid off and now she’s loving her pants and using the toilet. The tips and advice they have provided along the way have been invaluable.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's fantastic to read that our team have been so helpful in your little one's potty training! We strive to build strong partnerships with our families and help support you through each stage of development.
My children absolutely love this nursery! They have all learnt so much and used to get up every morning and ask if it was time to go to nursery. All the staff are amazing and always go above and beyond, always very supportive towards both children and parents, always happy to answer any questions. At pick up time it was nice to see all the different activities they were doing and there was always a wide range.

Our dedicated team strive to build strong, supportive relationships with all the children in their care. Alongside a wide variety of fun, engaging activities, our specially-designed education programmes aim to help children develop important skills for the future.
Love this nursery! My daughter has settled in really well since starting here in December when she was only thirteen months old. Such a worry for a parent to leave their child after spending every minute with them up until that point, so it is really reassuring to know that she is being cared for in the best way possible while I am at work. Nursery has also helped in reducing dummy usage, which is also fabulous, and my daughters food intake has also increased. The nursery is also very clued up with regards to allergies as my daughter has several!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are delighted to hear that your daughter has settled in well at our nursery; it is our goal to make this transition as smooth as possible for all of our families. Your comments are really appreciated and will be passed on to the nursery team.
