Such a great nursery, our little one loves going!
I was quite nervous about leaving our little one when returning to work after maternity leave, but the staff have been so warm, kind and reassuring-it has really put me at ease. The team clearly has a great deal of experience and genuinely seem to care which is just makes all the difference.
The baby room is lovely, with its own outdoor space and the whole setting feels safe and nurturing. They're also very flexible, in terms of individual's needs (e.g. naps, meals etc.) which is incredibly helpful.
I am really grateful for all the updates I get throughout the day via the app. I also know the nursery wouldn't hesitate to get in touch if there were ever any issues, communication is great.
Most importantly, my little one loves going, he's excited to arrive in the morning and seem to have so much fun while he's there - he is happy and smiling when we pick him up - I definitely recommend.
Thank you for your review of Ruddington Day Nursery. We are delighted to hear how happy your family has been and that your child loves going to nursery. We know how daunting returning to work can feel, and it is lovely to know that our team's warmth, kindness and experience helped put you at ease. Thank you so much for your recommendation.

Staff is attentive and keeping us informed about our little one progress. I've seen how my lo is learning and settling in at the different rooms he has been transitioning to, sometimes is hard but we feel supported and our concerns are always heard and validated. Overall, a great nursery and even some days my lo doesn't want to leave which shows me he's content, comfortable, and well cared.

We couldn't be happier with Ruddington Day Nursery and all the staff. Our daughter absolutely loves being there, the staff are always so kind and take the time to get to know your child and tell you about their progress and their day. I love the fact there is a big outdoor area and the children do lots of different activities. I also love that they keep the app updated and regularly share photos. I feel very comfortable dropping my daughter off at nursery and it's such a relief to not worry about her when she is at nursery. Our daughter's development and confidence has grown so much since being at nursery. Thank you so much to the team we are so grateful for you!

This is an excellent nursery. The staff are friendly, approachable, and well trained. They do their jobs very well. The nursery is clean and kept in good condition. My child loves going there. She comes home every day with happy stories. She talks about playing in the garden, forest school, writing activities, and story time. It sounds fun, engaging, and well balanced. We've been with the nursery for almost three years and it's been great.

We couldn't be happier with Ruddington Day Nursery. Our son absolutely loves it here. Since day one when he was only 10 months old. I was so nervous dropping him off at nursery for the first time but any worries I had quickly disappeared. His face lights up when he sees his key people, they are so good with him and he has so much fun. We get regular updates on everything he eats, how many times he has a nappy change, updates on his naps etc. The nursery has a huge garden as well and he regularly plays outside which he loves. He's come on so much since being at nursery, he's learnt to walk, and sit at the table to eat, his speech is also coming on and I know it's down to the care and attention he gets from his key people. I'd recommend Ruddington Day Nursery to anyone.

Ever since our daughter started at Ruddington day nursery we’ve been so happy with her care. Staff are always so friendly and welcoming, and supported with the settling in process which made it much easier than we had imagined. We get regular updates on the app, and any time we’ve needed to communicate with them about specific needs they’ve been excellent. They have a wide range of activities and our daughter always seems to enjoy it there and be happy to go in. She has recently moved up to a new room and again this was managed so well that it has been smooth. The atmosphere at drop off and pick up is always friendly and positive and they spend lots of time outside which we really like. We would highly recommend them to other families and feel very confident with her being in their care.
