Thank you for such a lovely review. We love looking after your Grandchildren and helping them learn and Grow. Liza x
The teachers here at Bulwell Childcare are amazing, I was so sceptical about letting my child go to nursery at a young age, especially with all the stories in the media but he has been there for 2 years now and the teachers my son has had have been incredible with him and I couldn't have asked for better people to be teaching him the time he has been here. When he first came to nursery my son was struggling with his speech and a few other things a few months in this nursery and he started speaking properly, his confidence had got so much better and he was so happy and loved it. Each day he learnt new things. Thank you to the manager and the staff, you're all such lovely and amazing people and I can't thank you all enough.
Thank you for your review, it has been our pleasure to help your child grow and learn. We hope he has lots of fun at school and we will miss him lots.
Just want to say a massive thank you to all the staff. You have all been amazing, I definitely would recommend your child/children come here, they work very well in all settings and especially for children with needs, they meet all their needs.
Thank you so much for this review, we have loved looking after your child, we are going to miss him lots!
My opinion is very good about all the staff. My daughter was helped and taken care of. I am satisfied with their services. Thank you and I wish you all well. Have a nice holiday.
Thank you for this review, we have loved having S with us we hope she enjoys school.
I am happy my child attends Bulwell Childcare. He so loves going to the nursery. I love the staff; they are so welcoming. My son's speech has also improved and he is now more sociable. I appreciate all the hardworking staff. My son is gradually picking up with eating other food. Thanks to Bulwell Childcare staff.
We love having your child at Nursery with us, and we have loved watching him grow. Thank you so much for your kind words.
I love the Famly app, this is very useful when at work I can pop on and see what my little boy has been up to, what he has eaten etc.
Thank you to all the staff on making my son feel so welcome and loved at nursery.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review Kylie. We absolutely love spending time with your son and can't wait to watch him grow and develop. Liza x
For 3 years now I have been so happy and thankful for this place, everything very clean, the staff are the most amazing I have ever seen. When I leave my children I know they are in good hands and I consider all staff a family. I trust 100% in this place, they give so much love to my kids, I couldn't ask for more. Thank you to the manager and all staff for the great job.
Oh that's so lovely Luboia, we love looking after your chldren. Liza xx
My little boy loves going to nursery. The staff are friendly and approachable and are willing to help. All of my children have attended this nursery, and have had no problems at all. Love the app that the staff used as it allows me to see bits that my child has done and also where he is with his development can also speak to staff through this with a quick reply from them.
Thank you for such a lovely review, Jamie. It has been an absolute pleasure to have looked after all of your children. Liza
My son has been at Sure Start Bulwell for a year now, his speech has come on loads since being there. Staff are amazing!
Thank you for your kind words. We have enjoyed helping your son develop and grow. Liza.
I absolutely love this nursery. My daughter gets so excited every time we pull up; she loves it here. The staff are amazing! I would definitely recommend it. I also love how flexible they are if I need any extra days due to work commitments.
Thank you, Claire, for such a lovely review. We love looking after your daughter and are so happy she loves to come.
I honestly could not recommend this nursery enough. My son absolutely adores all the staff and always comes home and tells me how good his day's been. The staff always go above and beyond for all the children; they are truly amazing. Myself and my son will be very sad when he has to move to a big school; I wish he could stay there forever - 5*.
Thank you Tinicia for such a lovely review, we will miss you all lots when he has to move onto big school. Liza.
My son looks forward to coming to nursery, he has settled in well and is improving his learning more and more every day.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review. It's a pleasure for us to help your son develop and grow.
Admittedly when our family moved to the area we a little apprehensive. But a change around in the management midway through really excelled this place. As well as watching my daughters flourish I too have seen this nursery advance in great bounds, and when it came time for my youngest to join, there was absolutely 'no' apprehension, only joy and pride knowing she definitely is safe, looked after and in good hands.
I think the best thing I can say that most parents will understand, is that your kids are not only safe and looked after here, but they are surrounded by very professional and loving human beings.
An excellent nursery.
Thank you for such a lovely review. It's been a pleasure looking after both of your daughters.
My child has improved in communication and socialisation with people especially his peers and I am very impressed.
Thank You Vanessa for such a lovely reveiw. It's been our pleasure to have helped your child learn and grow.
This nursery is a very friendly and caring place. My son has been coming here since he was 2. His development has come on loads. The staff there have been fantastic with him. He loves going. He gets upset when I leave but when I go, he is completely fine. He is going to miss going and the staff when he leaves ready for school in September.
I have a second son who is starting in January 2019 for 3hrs in the morning session, can’t wait..
Thank you for everything xXxXx

Meet the Team (6)
I have a son as well as over 10 years of experience in the Early Years sector. I gained my NNEB certificate in 1998 and have loved working at Bulwell Childcare and being a part of building it up to a reputable nursery where all our children and families love coming each day.
I have a fantastic team all with various skills that together we make it a home from home, a happy place to be and where all our children flourish. Nothing is ever too much trouble we can always find a way to make things work for our families from flexible childcare times to funding places and additional hours. Just ask!
I share the vision that Bulwell Childcare has and can't wait to help improve the setting where possible. Our families are very important to me and I am here for them if they need me.
Hi, I have a National Diploma in Early Years & Education which I gained in 2016. I have been working with Bulwell Childcare ever since and with the support of a good team, I have grown in confidence and knowledge. I have a child of my own so understand how hard it can be to leave them in childcare. I am a passionate worker who just loves being a part of the development of all the little ones we are involved in within the nursery. Supporting them and their families' emotional well-being is a real strength of mine. I can support all our new children, as well as hold the hands of our parents as they leave their babies for the first time. I currently work in The Little Explorers room.
I started working at Nursery as Maternity Cover, I enjoyed my time here so much that when the opportunity to stay permanently came along I grabbed it with both hands. I have a Level 3 diploma and came to work at Bulwell Childcare straight from achieving my qualification. I love to get messy with the children and encourage them to use their creative side. I have worked with all ages since being here and really enjoy helping them bring out their creativity. I have also completed my training to become a SENCO as helping all children is something I am passionate about. I am currently based in the Little Explorers Room.
I am a mother of two boys and I love working with children of all ages. I am also the SENCO worker for Bulwell Childcare and have a real passion for helping those children that need a little extra support. I have a level 3 BTEC National Diploma in Early Years and have been working with children for over 10 years now. I love it! You can currently find me having fun in The Little Explorers room.
I am a mother of one boy and one girl and can speak Slovak, Polish, Czech and English. I qualified with a level 3 Diploma in Childcare in 2012 and haven't looked back. I have enjoyed working with all ages and am pleased I have had the chance to use my languages to support some of our families in Bulwell Childcare. I am a very conscientious worker and always go over and above in anything I do. Being a part of each of our key children's lives is a real privilege and documenting their progress to share with families after is something I really enjoy too. It's great we have a lovely friendly team who always pull together when the need arises. Fun and family are always at the heart of what we do. I am currently based in The Little Stars Room.
