Shine A Light Day Nursery

Thank you all x

We've had a wonderful experience with Shine a Light The staff are kind, caring, and genuinely dedicated to the children. Our son Tommy is in the Ladybird Room and has settled so well - he's happy, confident, and always excited to go in. The activities are engaging and thoughtfully planned which has helped my little boy in his development and communication. We feel very lucky to have found such a supportive and nurturing environment and would highly recommend

My son started nursery in November. The staff are brilliant, very approachable, interested and caring. My son took a while to settle in when he first started, the staff were very understanding and supportive. The communication is very good and as a parent I feel well informed about my son's care and things that are going on within nursery. I am very pleased overall.

My son has settled in really well and loves going to nursery, he enjoys his time learning and playing with his little friends. The staff have made him feel really welcome and he has built a good bond with them.

Alfie started at Shine a Light just after his first birthday. In the beginning, he found it a little difficult to settle, but the team were so reassuring, sending us regular updates and photos throughout the day, which really put our minds at ease. Whenever I phoned to check in, they were always kind and understanding. All of the staff are so lovely, and I feel confident knowing Alfie is in safe and caring hands. He's now 18 months old and absolutely loves nursery. We're so glad we chose Shine a Light!

As first-time parents, we honestly didn't know where to start - but since joining Shine A Light, our son has come on leaps and bounds. His biggest milestone so far has been learning to use the toilet, and we are beyond proud of his independence. All the ladies in the room worked tirelessly, encouraging him every step of the way and supporting us as parents with daily reassurance.

The moment he was celebrated as Star of the Week for his achievement was incredibly special for our family. We are so grateful to have found a place that feels like a second home for our child. Shine A Light is more than just a setting - it's a family. A family who shares in your highs and lows, offers a shoulder to cry on, brings joy through laughter, and, most importantly, listens.

Thank you, Shine A Light team, for making our son's journey so happy and enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better start.

My son has attended Shine A Light Day Nursery for the past twelve months & we couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery. From my son's very first day, the staff have been nothing short of incredible with him & have offered us as parents so much support, from the big hugs and reassurance during those first few emotional weeks of settling in, to the daily updates & frequent catch-ups that we have a year down the line.

My son has suspected SEN needs & we have received the most amazing support from nursery, especially Emily the SENCo lead. They have listened to our concerns & put plans in place to help my son to tackle difficult behaviours, made referrals for SALT & autism assessments, & more generally become a huge part of our lives.

If you're looking for a nursery with staff who genuinely care about your child's happiness & wellbeing, you won't find better. Words alone can't express what they have done for my son's development & for us as a family, we would be lost without them.

Communication is fantastic and we are updated throughout the day on meals, naps, nappies and are even sent photos through the app so we can see what's she's been up to and how much fun she is having! All members of the team are friendly and approachable. You can tell how passionate they all are about what they do and it shows! We're so grateful for everything they do for us and our little one; we have the utmost confidence in her care and feel at ease when she attends. Thank you to all the team!

Our son started at Shine a Light at the end of July this year, in 5 short weeks he has settled in amazing and is so happy to go in to nursery now. This wouldn't be possible without the work of the amazing team at Shine a Light who do everything they can do to make his life more comfortable and keep him happy and engaged. The nursery setting is engaging, clean and a fun space for our son to be in. They have a range of areas for him, including a sensory den, a yoga room, an amazing outdoor area and cosy places to sit and read a book. The food menu looks delicious and extremely nutritious, perfect for baby led weaning. The staff are always so welcoming and professional, which when you are a new mum who is returning to work, is exactly what you need to put your mind at rest leaving your child at nursery all day! I can't praise the nursery and their staff enough for their kind and compassionate natures, it's clear to see how amazing they are with how much our son loves his days at nursery.

My baby boy started his journey at Shine A Light Nursery two weeks ago. As this can be an apprehensive time for both him and us as his parents, I have been overjoyed that he has settled in so well. The ladies at the nursery have helped to ease this transition and make it so much smoother for us all. The communication has been great, we receive constant updates throughout the day on the app, which I have found invaluable. At drop off and pick up, the staff are happy to ask us questions and fill us in on how the day has been. They take a genuine interest and care in the babies and provide a nurturing environment. My baby has been comforted when needed and provided a safe space for him away from home. As a teacher, I have loved seeing all of the activities he has taken part in as part of the curriculum. The nursery manager and owner are always so welcoming on Reception and also ask about how my little boys day has been.

We are so happy with shine a light, they helped with our little one settling in and went with her pace. Their communication is great and the regular updates on the app really help with us feeling confident in their care of her. Our little girl loves going into nursery, the staff are so child focused and offer her lots of cuddles through the day. The meal plan is amazing and I think it's great that they offer a vegan menu to suit all dietary needs. They offer so many activities she's so busy and they are keen to know her interests and let her do what she enjoys. Once you visit this nursery you will see how amazing they are, we could not be happier.

My son has been at Shine a light nursery for 4 weeks now, and he is absolutely loving it, we get regular updates throughout the day and pictures which is so reassuring that he is settled. The staff are great and friendly and we have had another brilliant experience here, thank you everyone xx

Shine a light nursery is really my child's second home. Staff are genuinely caring, friendly and showing special interests of kids at heart. The updates and photos of his on the app and in person really brighten up our day. He eats healthy meals and snacks as well from there. I find management very approachable and no difficulties. Highly recommended.

We couldn't be happier that our little boy attends this amazing nursery. We was nervous initially sending in our little one to the nursery as we didn't know what to expect or how he would react, the nursery staff supported him to settle into the class in such a positive way. Their warm welcomes in the morning to the constant updates throughout the day with photos made us feel at ease, knowing he was in such a safe nurturing environment. The food choices the children get are great, our little boy has come on leaps and bounds with the variety of foods he will eat. Thank you to all the staff for being so warm and friendly.

All in all a great nursery with a wonderful loving atmosphere & an amazing bunch of people. Would recommend in a heart beat.

I truly believe the owners passion for early years is what makes this setting what it is and her high expectations has led to All the staff going above and beyond for not just the child but the whole family around them.

After feeling very frustrated looking around many nurseries , I was instantly happy when I found Shine A Light and haven't regretted it since. Clean , therapeutic environment , friendly approachable staff who make an effort to all know your child and their development - updates regularly. My baby is thriving

Shine a Light Day Nursery has been a wonderful choice for my daughters. From the moment we arrived, I felt the warmth and care of the staff, who created a welcoming and safe environment. The activities are both fun and educational, and my daughters are always excited to share what they've learned. The nursery provides a calm, secure atmosphere, and I never worry about their safety or well-being. The facilities are clean, bright, and well-equipped, with plenty of outdoor play opportunities. Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates on progress. My daughters have grown in confidence and happiness since starting, and I know they are in a place where they are loved and supported. Shine a Light truly stands out, and I couldn't recommend it more highly for any family looking for a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment.

Our little one tells us all about their day and we get updates throughout the day via the app they use which is so good from receiving pictures to what they have eaten for each meal. We can not recommend Shine A Light enough. Thank you so much.

Communication from the staff is fantastic and we always feel well-informed about our child's progress and daily experiences. Overall, Shine a Light Day Nursery has been a wonderful choice and we're grateful for the caring environment they provide. Highly recommend.
