Review from Kayleigh B (Mother of Child) published on 15 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Although my daughter has only been at Newbank House Day Nursery and Out of School Club for around seven/eight weeks, she’s settled in better than I could’ve ever imagined. The ladies are always there to greet her with a happy smile every morning. The setting is bright and clean and although it sounds silly to say, I feel they take a genuine interest in her well-being and development. The change in my daughter in just seven/eight weeks is brilliant, especially her social skills and also a huge improvement in her eating. I have to do a shout out to her keyworker, the way I feel she cares about the children is just next level. Thank you Newbank for making such a nerve wracking process for a new mum so calm.

Overall Experience
My son attends the holiday club here and it is truly amazing.
The holiday club always has a packed program sent out in advance so I know exactly what my son will be doing. The range of activities means he is never bored and really looks forward to the holiday club!
The staff are all lovely and very professional and even though my son only goes to holiday club he talks about the staff a lot!

Thanks to all the staff for making my working life very easy, no more mum guilt for working holidays!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been in Newbank House now for 5 months and she has come on leaps and bounds. The ladies at Newbank are teaching her important life skills as well as manners and following the curriculum. A huge well done to the ladies across the nursery for such a lovely Mother’s Day afternoon tea where all women of the family were invited. I enjoyed spending that special time with my daughter and getting to see the other mums and nursery staff. My little girl loves all the staff in dinkies and is excited to move up to twinnies next month, they are going above and beyond to get her introduced to all the staff in twinnies and so far so good, thank you to all the staff you are amazing at what you do.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Newbank House Nursery since she was 15 months old. She was warmly welcomed into the Tweenies room and has since thrived through Main House and now Rising 3’s. She is 33 months now and her face lights up when we mention it’s a nursery morning. I feel the staff build a positive relationship straight away and they really know how to engage your child. The staff are extremely supportive in all areas of your child’s development and they have been amazing, especially when she began toilet training! The staff plan carefully and purposefully to ensure all the busy tasks in nursery are inviting and fun. She comes home every day smiling and ready to share her nursery news.

Review from Diane F (Grandmother of Child) published on 20 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My three-year-old grandson goes to Newbank Day Nursery and has done since he was one. The staff are fantastic with him. He was diagnosed with nonverbal autism at 2.5yrs and the staff have been so helpful with him. Each day I get told what he has done, eaten and whether he has had a sleep. If he does something new the staff get as excited as we as a family do, this could just be something like making a different sound or joining in with other children but these are big steps for a child with autism.

Thank you to all the staff at Newbank House Day Nursery.

Review from Jo m (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Since starting at Newbank House Day Nursery my son has developed considerably in many areas. The activities that he takes part in are well planned and executed: loads of fun and extremely educational.
It is always apparent how much planning and preparation has been done by the staff.
The staff are fantastic - Newbank has a real family atmosphere: all the staff are so hard working and have fantastic bonds with all the children.
During a recent bout of illness, the staff could not do enough to support myself and my little boy.

When I chose Newbank I did so because it was clean, had fantastic facilities and an amazing educational setting; it has exceeded my expectations.

Review from Georgia R (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I changed my son's nursery after 6 months, as I wasn't happy with the standard of care at his previous nursery. I sent him to Newbank, slightly apprehensive due to my previous experience. I'm quite an anxious mum, at the best of times, with being a first-time mum, but I couldn't recommend Newbank enough! The staff are so welcoming, kind, and polite... in comparison to other settings I've experienced, the staff are real-life angels, two in particular, the time they take to explain things, discussing development and how/what I can do things at home to assist development, every time I enter and leave the nursery, I feel at ease. They're so passionate about their job and it really does reflect! My son runs into nursery now, I don't have the heartbreak of tears every morning. If you're reading the reviews to try and pick a nursery for your child, this is the one!! I don't leave reviews usually, but this nursery deserves it. Fabulous!

Review from Ashley F (Mother of Child) published on 1 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is currently in the Dinkies group at Newbank House Day Nursery and our experience could not be better. The staff are incredibly welcoming and kind and really care about the children. They are absolute angels when it comes to getting all of the children to sleep at once. I don’t know how they do it.
I particularly enjoy the fact that each month is a different theme and country focus for my son to learn about. He’s really getting a well-rounded education at such a young age which is something I’m really proud of as a parent.
As a new mom who has recently gone back to work, it was really hard sending my son to nursery, but he has adjusted so well and I have complete confidence in the staff that my son is looked after well. I have no worries or concerns after I drop him off because I know he is in safe and capable hands.

Thank you so much Newbank staff for providing my son with such an enriching start to his childhood.

Overall Experience
My daughter attends just twice a week and has done since August 2021. It's taken a while for her to settle, but thanks to the patience of the ladies at Newbank, she has finally settled. My daughter always eats well, naps well and has a big smile when being collected - in some cases she doesn't want to leave!

When sending emails, the manager is always very quick to reply and has always been helpful with any queries or questions I've had too.

My daughter has attended this nursery for less than a year and has come on massively since. The nursery is a lovely, friendly setting and there are lots of fun activities for both children and parents to take part in. Excellent nursery and excellent staff!

Review from Chloe R (Mother of Child) published on 11 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Communication in regards to invoicing is not always clear. Emails were sent with no follow-up call and a suspension notice was given for child with no explanation.
Overall school club is fantastic and the lady that leads the club is great, cannot fault her!
Snacks for the after-school club are poor, cheese and breadsticks? Crumpets? For the price, it should be something more substantial.

Otherwise happy with everything else.

Reply from Graham Abbott, Director at Kids Planet Newbank House

Thank you, for your response, although I'm sure you are aware that we offer a nutritious and varied diet for all the children, which is prepared freshly each day, by our in-house chef. Furthermore, we hold a 5-star food hygiene certificate and always have done. Unfortunately, I must disagree with...

Review from Danielle W (Mother of Child) published on 11 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Having moved my son here at a later age following problems at a different placement the staff have gone above and beyond to make him welcome and he has quickly felt secure and happy at Newbank.

Information is always effectively communicated, staff are always happy and approachable and the nursery itself is clean and bright. The outside play areas also offer a variety of experiences.

Parents are encouraged to participate in the learning programme with mini homework activities and parent's evening. The variety of food on the menu is excellent meaning my son is often trying foods I don’t necessarily serve at home. My son is always happy and cheery when he has his nursery days.

The most wonderful nursery and could not have chosen anywhere better for my daughter to be! They went above and beyond to help my daughter settle in and now she absolutely loves it! All the staff are so polite and kind, and the managers are always willing to help where they can! You can see that they truly care about the happiness and safety of all the children.

Review from R C (Mother of Child) published on 4 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My experience at the nursery has been fantastic overall. The management team are so accommodating and friendly, particularly during the pandemic. They made fees voluntary during lockdown which was a massive help in such stressful times. They have also done really well at keeping the young people safe from covid as far as I'm aware, as we have only had to self isolate on one occasion. The premises are clean and tidy and they adhere to all regulations around social distancing.

The staff in Tweenies helped me to feel so reassured when my son started nursery during the pandemic. I was so anxious but they really helped settle us in and my little boy has thrived ever since.

My daughter really enjoys preschool and all the staff listen to any concerns we might have. They always try hard to ensure the little ones are happy, which is really important to me.

Myself and my children love this nursery.

This is a fantastic nursery, my little boy has been coming since he was 9 months old and he has come on leaps and bounds since coming here. The staff are absolutely fantastic with him. He learns something different every day! I also love that he goes out into the garden for fresh air a lot and they have a big garden space, not like the other nursery nearby! Couldn’t recommend this nursery any more. Very happy
