Thrive Lark Hill House

This nursery is just amazing. Both my 2 children have attended this nursery from around 10 months old. My eldest is now in pre-school 2 and the experience we have had at every stage has been amazing. They do a great range of activities and learning. The outside space is great and the staff are just incredible. My boys love nursery days and we really couldn't ask for more. I wish they could stay here forever!

We couldn't have asked for a better nursery for our children. It has truly been a home away from home for both of them over the past three years, and we are so grateful for the love, care, and support they have received.

The provisions and activities are fantastic, providing endless opportunities for learning, creativity, and development. The outdoor area is absolutely amazing and has given our children so many opportunities to explore, play, and build confidence in a safe and nurturing environment.

What makes this nursery so special is the staff. Their caring and loving nature shines through in everything they do. They take the time to really get to know each child as an individual, understanding their personalities, interests, and needs. It is clear that every child is valued, encouraged, and supported to be the very best version of themselves.

The team has played such an important role in preparing both of our children for their next adventures, helping them grow in confidence an

Fabulous nursery, amazing grounds and the most wonderful staff I have ever experienced.

Having come from another local nursery that I dreaded dropping my child off at, we moved my Daughter here and we were so lucky that we got the last spot! I can see how it is so popular. The staff are absolutely amazing, they work so hard everyday and are so creative with their games and they care so much for the children. People have asked me about this nursery and I always say it is like dropping my child off with family, I know they will be cherished and looked after every day. My Daughter is in pre school 2, Jane, Karen, Peter and Lauren are amazing people and fabulous at their jobs. My Daughter is moving to school in September and I am gutted! She will miss it so much. Thank you to Lark Hill for being such a fantastic nursery will brilliant staff. I appreciate you all so much. You've made my Daughter's nursery time so fulfilling and she has had the BEST time. Thank you x a million. DPs Mum xx

He is happy and thriving after 3 months and I can see his confidence growing. I have and I would recommend this nursery over and over again

Couldn't wish for a better nursery for my daughter who has been attending since she was 12 months, now age 3 and thriving here. Staff are faultless, outdoor space is amazing and like a little Forrest. This nursery is outstanding in every way.

Great nursery. We travel from Wigan twice a week so our son can attend this nursery. The staff are great and really friendly, our son speaks about the staff when he's at home so they obviously have a positive impact on him. They spend a lot of time outdoors to which our son really enjoys.

My daughter recently started here and honestly I can't thank them enough! The nursery was so perfect from our very first visit. The staff are all knowledgeable and make you feel welcome, you never feel a burden no matter how many times you call in a day or how many questions you ask. The menu is varied and the food smells lovely when you come in. The day and activities all feel well organised, honestly we are so grateful to all the staff here and could not have picked a better nursery for our precious child

My daughter attends this nursery and recently is thriving! She has started toilet training and the staff in her room have been very accommodating to meet her needs, she loves being outdoors and the nursery have an amazing outdoor area which seems to be utilised very well. Even the management team have been involved in my daughter's settling in process which has been very welcoming.

I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. My daughter is preschool 2 and I never want her to leave. The staff treat my daughter as if she were their own and they genuinely care about her. My daughter's key work has gone above and beyond in helping her with her additional needs and I can't thank him enough! The other staff in the room are also amazing and I couldn't ask for anything more. The staff make this nursery such a great place for the children. The management team are fantastic very quick in responding and always there for advice or help. The staff are always inventive in games and activities they play. I really love the amount of outdoor time they get and not stuck inside all day. I love that everyone knows each child by name even if they are not in the children's room. A lovely nursery with a great family feel! Thank you for everything you do!

Both our children are thriving at Astley Nature Kindergarten! They love spending time outdoors and visiting the park. Our son's language and communication have developed so well and our daughter's confidence is growing.

This is a fantastic nursery. The service has been consistently great through the three class/groups our child has attended. The team really makes the experience. They are warm, welcoming, friendly, energetic, informative and very professional. This makes you confident that they are in good hands and their development and happiness is a priority. This is exemplified by the range of activities they do on a daily basis, with development-based feedback/updates. Inside and out, the facilities are fantastic. The place is always really well-presented. Overall, it is a great nursery that I would recommend to family and friends.

My child loves coming to nursery and we are very thankful for all of the staff who my child has had so far. They have also been very supportive with clear awareness training/equipment etc.

Excellent overall experience.

They definitely know the children, taking time to learn their routine, likes and dislikes. They listen to any concerns and update parents regularly with development and actions to aim for. They are accommodating and flexible - developing a good parent/staff relationship.

The staff are lovely too, really helpful and knowledgeable.

Lovely nursery, staff are caring and attentive. They are brilliant at keeping us up to date with changes and the development of our son. Would recommend them to anyone. I'm a very busy person and they make life so much easier, I don't need to worry about sending in nappies. They update the app throughout the day so I can see what's going on with my son (sleep, food etc). My little boy is very outdoorsy and this is perfect for him. They put him in a waterproof suit and let him explore and get fresh air. Inside they do lots of different activities every day to keep him engaged.

We are very happy with the care that other children receive at Astley Nature Kindergarten. They have always communicated well with us and we feel our children's learning is progressing well in their care, especially the facilities for forest school and outdoor learning. Both my children love being outside and they thrive in this environment. The only improvement that would help is more frequent updates about activities/learning they are taking part in as the communication app is not really used as much as they could use this - overall we are happy with the care received at Astley Nature Kindergarten.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants their child to do exciting activities, learn new things, follow a curriculum and also anyone who values the importance of outdoor play.

Very good nursery and respectful professional staff. Fantastic outdoor area which is so good for the children. We are always greeted with a smile and nothing is too much trouble, the management are really helpful and have been flexible. I am very happy.
