Review from A A (Mother of Child) published on 21 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
We have had a wonderful experience, so far, at Serenalipity Day Nursery from the very first day, the staff have been incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely caring towards our son.
The environment is nurturing, safe, and full of engaging activities that support his development socially, emotionally and academically. We have noticed a healthy growth in his communication skills, confidence and overall learning since he started attending.

The team take the time to understand each child's needs and personality in safe environment, leaving room for them to thrive. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a good early years setting.

Two of my children have attended Serendipitys and they both loved it. The staff were so lovely and friendly and both my children really enjoyed going to nursery. I wouldn't send them anywhere else.

Overall Experience

We have tried other nurseries in Newark and finally, we got our little one into this nursery. We have not come across a nursery which is better than Serendipitys Day Nursery & Pre-School Newark. This is surely one of the best nurseries and our child is getting all the support needed and been looked after very well. As a parent we are happy with the nursery staff, their love and affection for kids and also they offer flexibility to parents. We are so thankful to the nursery manager who is very flexible and approachable and always willing to help. Overall we are 100% satisfied with this nursery. Please keep up the good work.
