Echoes Nursery

My eldest child attended Echoes for over three years before starting school, and now their younger sibling has been there for nearly two years. Both have thrived in their time there, and developed close relationships with the staff there. The location is ideal for my city centre place of work, and communications from the nursery have always been excellent.

I want to thank all the staff that work with my son for making his time at nursery so wonderful for him.

My child has been attending Echoes for a few months now and has settled very well. Staff are warm and welcoming and they do everything to make the children enjoy themselves. For my child, Echoes is now a home away from home. I also really like the fact that the nursery develops and shares activities for parents and children to do at home. Very creative.

My child has been going to Echoes nursery for 6 months now.

The experience I have had so far with the staff and the administration has been very positive. It is my child's first nursery and I really want to say how much he has changed from his first day. When he started he cried for a few days, but now he comes and asks me to take him to the nursery. The staff are so friendly, kind and accommodating. They care for every child individually and put in so much effort in planning and doing creative activities

The meals are amazing, nutritious and all dietary restrictions catered for. There is always efforts for constant improvement and all our feedback are heard. The staff really go the extra mile in keeping both the children and the parents happy

I could not recommend a better place and I am so happy about my decision of choosing Echoes.

Our daughter has been at the nursery for a year and a half and we have had a great experience here. Every staff member we have interacted with in each room has been caring and diligent, always sure to inform us of her activities and progress. The staff all show wonderful care for the children and work through any issues when needed. Overall, we're very happy!

My son has been with Echos since he was 11 months, now nearly 2.5 years old. He is always busy doing fun activities with the staff or playing outside which he loves. He's not generally a great eater but they are great with mealtimes sitting with him and encouraging him (I've sat and watched this when I've arrived early for pick up). The staff are great at updating the app and I feel like I've got such a good insight into his day. He goes to another nursery for part of the week and I certainly don't get as much information from them. The nursery itself always seems spotless and each staff member you come into contact with is friendly. I was given the option to put my son back into his other nursery for that extra day (we needed an extra day last minute and Echos were so helpful and got my son in and settled quickly), but decided to stay with Echos as it's a joy to take him there and collect him each day knowing he'll have had a brilliant time and been well looked after. Thank you!

What a wonderful environment for my granddaughter - she absolutely loves attending nursery here, and the resources prepared to engage the toddlers each day are amazing. The careful support she received whilst settling in was very impressive, and my daughter's comment after dropping her off this morning was that she "hurtled in without a second glance!" Very happy grandma!

Echoes has been amazing, and I'm so happy I chose this nursery for my daughter. She loves it, she dived in there this morning so happy which I never thought id see but she's so happy to be there and I'm so happy with all the staff with how they interact with her

Our only complaint is that food info is lacking and not forthcoming. I wish information on ingredients, nutritional information for meals was upfront as we like to understand what exactly she's eating. We can't comment on how 'good' the food is because we don't really know!

Echoes Nursery has been such a positive part of our lives, and I can't thank them enough for all the love, patience, and support they've shown our family. I would highly recommend them to any parent.

Always going above and beyond to make my child feel safe and welcome. Always makes sure my child is kept entertained throughout the day. He is always finishes nursery with a smile on his face so thankyou.

Thanks to staff and management

Since my daughter started , I couldn't be more proud of her. She's more confident about herself, talks more each day , been super happy and I'm just so proud. All the nurses thank you for taking your time with her , I know when she started she was not comfortable and a very cuddle baby and now look at her , she goes play with her friends , more comfortable thank you

The kitchen staff are excellent and have helped me construct a vegan menu for my son. There was no problems liasing this through the office staff.

I have had both my daughters at Echoes and it is a wonderful nursery. I cannot speak more highly of the amazing staff. They are what makes this nursery so great and they work so hard! They have looked after my girls with such care. My daughter runs in to the nursery with a smile on her face , hugging the staff so I know she loves it there. It is clean, open with large windows so you can see in to each room which I love. I feel that my daughter is safe and well looked after here which is the main thing. They have a large outside area which my daughter enjoys and I love receiving regular updates about her daily activities! A brilliant nursery!

The standards of this nursery is impeccable! The bonds all the staff have with my child is amazing, my child can be handed to any one in a morning and they show so much care and compassion to him. My child has some dietary requirements and the cook is amazing at providing an alternative that is similar to what the other children are eating where possible. They have individual care and health care plans for each child who may have needs/health issues, which every staff member can read so are all informed which puts me at peace of mind knowing that everyone understands what's to do with my child's health needs. My child's key person keeps me very informed about my child's day at the handovers and via the app. The garden is a big lovely outdoor space and I love seeing pictures of him playing outside! I am happy with the care and development of my child, who now he attends Echoes, he has come on leaps and bounds since starting with them at the end of March!

The deceitful tactics this nursery employs is truly mind boggling. The management of this nursery needs a serious review & change. We were notified that we don't have to pay the consumables charge 24th of March @2pm thru the app, not via email & we were only given until the 28th @12pm to opt out. Why the 28th & not the end of the term you may ask?! We all know The 2 documents provided (THRU THE APP not via email), 1 document regarding what we can give our own children to eat was 3 pages, and the other regarding the consumables information - 7 pages! They told us of the deadline on the 4th of the 7 pages!! Important information they wedged right in the middle of 7 pages of information, instead of being upfront and clear about it, GAVE US ONLY 3 DAYS TO OPT OUT ON THE LAST WEEK OF THE TERM!!! Its funny how vastly different they remind parents about government funding that Echoes will receive compared to how they notify parents of money they may save and in turn Echoes will lose out on.

Echoes has been a wonderful safe space for my little one. All the staff are caring, great communicators and so loving towards my son. He enjoys all the activities at the nursery and/ always eats all his meals, truly could not ask for anything more. Thank you Echoes!

They've worked hard to help a lot of kids settle after their previous nursery was unexpectedly closed. The nursery team were great with helping our son feel safe and cared for. They also send us meaningful updates on our son's development without feeling like they're jumping through perfunctory hoops.

We are so grateful for the wonderful experience our child has had at this nursery. The staff have been amazing in creating a nurturing environment. When he faced challenges with social interactions, their support and patience were invaluable. They guided him gently, fostering his social skills and boosting his confidence. Their dedication to each child's development is truly impressive. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for making a positive impact on his growth and happiness!
