The nursery is absolutely fab! Staff are so involved with the children and keep up to date with events children have done outside of nursery. They have both learnt so much and confidence wise, they've come on in leaps and bounds. The garden is everything a child could want. My son loves the allotment. I think it's great how what's grown is cooked and eaten for the children's dinners. 10/10. I could not fault the nursery and I will be sad when my children become too old to come.

My 1st son came to Vicar Waters and loved coming so I put my 2nd son in. He really enjoys coming every week. The staff are all lovely and always give plenty of feedback at the end of every session. I strongly believe that both have developed so much from coming here, and would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you for all your hard work and support.

My daughter has been at Treetops Vicar Water (Mansfield) for just over a year and is 2 and a half. She has come on so much over this time and the nursery does all they can to nurture and develop her. She comes home desperate to share with us all she has done and is always eager to return. The staff are exceptional and really do care for her as an individual rather than just a number as some other nurseries do. I have already and will continue to recommend Treetops Vicar Water (Mansfield) 100%.

My little boy has been attending this nursery for 20 months now. He is absolutely flourishing there. His confidence is clear to see and he has built many friendships both with other children and staff. The staff have designed learning and play activities around his interests and have supported him to develop his love of numbers and letters.

My son has been coming to this nursery for nearly 2 years now and he absolutely loves it.
He cannot wait to ger his shoes and coat on in the morning. I usually find myself running out of the door trying to put my coat on all so he can see his friends at nursery. Not only are the staff so good with my son, they bend over backwards and give their best efforts to support and work with parents. For example following through with toilet training at nursery as well as at home. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They are so kind hearted, friendly and welcoming everyone we visit. Keep up the good work Vicar Water Day Nursery staff.

Staff are really open and approachable, they are always on hand to offer advice and reassurance. I feel that they know my sons needs and support him to help him learn and grow. Since being at nursery my sons confidence and social skills have improved a lot. He now talks non-stop and is confident to join in with other children and do new things on his own. The facilities are excellent, especially the outdoors space which my son loves. My son loves nursery and looks forward to going and doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. That can only be a good thing as when he first started he'd cry whenever I left him. I always ring to check on him and staff always are polite and reassuring. He is definitely enjoying learning and has improved in all aspects of education; numbers, colours etc.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Lucy HG (Mother of Child) on Friday 22 April 2016. Relates to April 2016.
We are very impressed by the amount of work, effort, attention and care that goes into caring for our little one. It wasn't until parent's evening that we fully realised that they don’t just mind the children in their care, but they closely monitor their progress and development. Even though our little one only attends nursery two mornings per week he gets exactly the same attention as someone who is in full time. We’re over the moon with our choice of nursery.

The nursery has brought my daughter along very well, the staff are very knowledgeable and always want to give my daughter the best development that they can. The facilities are excellent and in the short time my daughter has been at the nursery her improvement in speech and interaction with others has come on leaps and bounds away from the nursery as well. We are very happy parents.

I would definitely recommend Vicar Water Treetops, we've only been coming for a few months and my little girl has settled in really well. All the staff are friendly and very patient. The outside area is fantastic with plenty of space for everyone to play and runaround.
Some mornings she struggles to let me go and the staff are brilliant, they encourage her to go off and play or read or they just talk to her which makes it so much easier for me to leave whilst knowing she's in safe hands.
It's great to hear about what she been doing during the day and how she's been, we even get a daily log.
The kids even get a healthy snack when leaving which goes down very well!
