My daughter loves this place. So did my son! Highly recommend to everyone!
My son started during the lockdown, and I was worried he wouldn't get along as he doesn't leave me and our family, so I thought going to the nursery would be problematic, as it goes, he loves it, and the days he isn't there always cries to go he has made lots of friends and also come on leaps and bounds in his milestones.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone, the support and care they show the children and parents is second to none. I have nothing bad today about them.
My little girl has been attending since she was 9-month- old, I was very uneasy about leaving her as had never left her with anyone before. The staff was amazing when I dropped her off and made me feel at ease. Now she is 4-years-old and is still attending, I would not dream of sending her anywhere else, and when I return to work from maternity leave, my little boy will also be attending. In the whole time, she has gone to this nursery, I’ve never had to complain about anything. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone and have recommended it friends and work colleagues.
My daughter started Serendipitys in September, aged 2, she absolutely loves it! I’m so glad I chose this nursery for her, the care and love she receives is above and beyond! Nothing is ever too much for the staff! My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting; she’s so excited each morning to go to “school” and is full of smiles when I collect her! I was so worried on her first day as she’s very attached to mummy, but she settled straight away and even asks to go on weekends.
The staff are amazing, and nothing is too much trouble if you need anything or ask for anything. Parents evening is always very thorough, so by the end of it, I never have any questions to ask!
The setting itself is wonderful, there's always lots for the children to do, and the food menu is brilliant. I have a fussy eater, and she eats most of what is put down in front of her at nursery.
My daughter is happy to be left there when I drop her off and is always beaming when I pick her up; she's old enough now to tell me she's has a fun day.
I highly recommend the nursery to other parents.
My youngest son attends this nursery. He started at the age of 8-months and is now almost 2. He settled in really well and loves all the staff and the activities that they plan out for the day. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this nursery to other parents. It’s a wonderful place with kind, friendly staff who put you at ease. I know my boy is in the safest hands when I leave him and have no worries at all.
Big thank you for a fantastic job.
Despite moving house we have kept driving the girls to Serendipitys because of how happy they are there, we're only taking them out as school is starting now.
Since day 1 the team at the nursery have been amazing. The girls always go in with a smile on their face and come out beaming with stories of what they've been up to and the friends they've played with. The staff have an amazing bond with the kids and we will miss them so much when we move away.
As well as being great for the kids I have found Serendipitys to be great from a parent perspective. Fees are sensible and the finance side of things well run and fair. There have been a lot of times when other parents have complained about how their nursery is run and we've never had any issue.
Sending our girls here has been the best decision we made, thank you and know we'll miss you!
I was anxious about moving my son, due to him having friends at his previous nursery but we knew it was in the best interests of our son.
During his transition period, we couldn't have asked for better care by the staff. I was reassured during our son's visits how he was and he quickly bonded with a particular member of staff in his room which again reassured us that he had quickly settled into his new setting.
I moved my son to this nursery about a year ago and it was the best decision I made. They made my son and I feel welcome and was very helpful in settling in. All the staff are very helpful and friendly and never can do enough for you and your child. My son has come along way since moving here and all friends and family had noticed. By far this is the best nursery any of my children have gone to. There is loads to do for all ages. Highly recommend.
He’s come on so much, with his learning, understanding, and speech.
The staff work very hard, I can’t thank them enough.
He’s even less of a fussy eater and will try anything you put in front of him now.
I am just so glad he’s gone to this nursery.
My son loves going here and has settled really well. Staff are great and are always available to help with any queries. I know my son is in safe hands when I take him.
My boy has come on loads, makes it easier to go to work and not have to worry when they love it so much.
The staff are amazing, I can’t thank them enough.
My little one loves going to Serendipity’s Nursery in Newark. They are all friendly and work hard to provide for all the children’s needs. Meals are healthy and the setting is clean and well maintained. All the staff are very caring and I know that my child is well looked after when he is there.
Like a 2nd home. All staff are kind and caring. Couldn't wish for a better nursery.
Serendipitys Day Nursery is a great place, with friendly staff. I believe my daughter is treated with respect and dignity whilst at preschool. I believe she engages in a range of therapeutic activities and skill-based topics that help her to develop her reading, drawing and language skills. The nursery offers a range of healthy meals and snacks which rotate weekly. They are flexible and accommodate mine and my daughter's routines and commitments. They always listen and make you feel heard and valued as a parent.
Can't recommend Serendipitys Day Nursery Newark enough. I have referred a few anxious mums here.
Wonderful, friendly nursery. My daughter has settled in so well. Her confidence has really improved along with her language skills. She has lots of fun and really looks forward to going to nursery which as a working mum is a huge relief. All the staff are so helpful and communication is brilliant. Couldn't recommend enough!
When my daughter is old enough; she too will be going here as I would not send my children anywhere else.
The staff are always kind and friendly, and my children are well cared for.
I would highly recommend this nursery. The staff are very friendly, and we receive a warm welcome each morning and informative handover at the end of each day. My son enjoys going to nursery, and I feel relaxed that he is so settled and happy being there. He has learnt to socialise with other children and eat a variety of home-cooked meals. All the staff are exceptional and accommodate our needs such as when requesting extra sessions, special dietary requirements or a change to our son’s routine. I wouldn’t send him anywhere else!
