Review from Katie B (Mother of Child) published on 5 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is a really lovely nursery, every thought and action made is in the benefit of the children.
The handovers are always well detailed, with what the children have ate, been doing, nappies ect.
Everything gets put on the app which is handy if your child poops allot, or isn't a massive eater so you know exactly what's been happening throughout the day.

Health, safety and security is 100%, they count heads whenever they enter or leave an area, and if an accident happens they always inform you with a detailed description of what's happened and how its been handled. So happy I picked this nursery, all the staff are so helpful and kind.

Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I just wanted to share how impressed I've been with The Village Nursery recently. My little boy has been attending for over a year now after my little girl had attended previously.
The difference Charley has made as a manager has been widely noticeable. The staff she leads are absolutely fantastic and I'm so grateful for the care, communication and thoughtfulness they put into everything they do.
I feel very informed about his day. The theme of the week is a lovely touch and how that's linked to wider activities happening in the community such as Chinese New Year, Eid, Valentines Day, to child led activities where they have taken an interest. It's clear to see how much thought, creativeness and effort goes into the planning and preparation.

Thank you to all the wonderful staff for all their care and hardwork, it really hasn't gone unnoticed and I'm so grateful.

Review from Sophie J (Mother of Child) published on 16 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. The love, care, and genuine warmth the staff show my child means more to me than words can say. They nurture his development with such patience and kindness, and it truly shows in his confidence and happiness. He absolutely loves going to nursery and beams with the biggest smile every single time we arrive, which fills my heart with so much reassurance. Knowing he is so well looked after gives me complete peace of mind, and I am always kept informed about his progress and wellbeing. Nothing is ever too much to ask, and the care they provide goes far beyond expectations - I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful, supportive nursery.

Overall Experience

The experience I've had soo far let me realise that Michild village nursery is a good nursery with high quality of service. And they all work in a team to take good care of the children. In terms of learning they are top notch, in terms of care there they take of the children equally, in terms of there hygiene they are soo neat and abide in good hygiene, which helps the health of the children.

Review from S H (Mother of Child) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Village Nursery for almost 2 years and I cannot honestly express how much she has developed throughout. She has really opened up in terms of her social skills, always wanting to communicate with new friends. Loves attending everyday, she implements a lot of what she learns at home including vocabulary, manners, activities etc. I am really happy with the progress she has made, staff are very understanding and polite to approach. The Manager is doing a great job with management, a big thank you. We will definitely miss Village Nursery and 100% recommend to working parents.

My son started at the Village Nursery this year which I chose this nursery down to hearing only amazing things & over the past few months that he has been there for, it has been impeccable. The girls / staff are absolutely fantastic, they make my son feel extremely comfortable & everyone is really hands on & just so lovely! I always feel so at ease leaving him there knowing that he is in the best of hands & I cannot stress enough just how much he has come along with his milestones as well as his confidence since starting there. Thank you so much to everyone at the Village Nursery

Absolutely great nursery, baby has come on so well under the supervision of the amazing staff, from eating different foods to walking. All staff have played such a big part in babies development.

Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little girl absolutely loves coming to nursery. She has made a lovely bond with the staff in her room but is also familiar and comfortable with other staff members too. Her confidence and development has continued to grow since coming to nursery.
She has food interolerances which is always catered for, she's given dairy/egg free choices whilst also not missing out on what her friends are having.
I love getting updates and pictures on the app so I can see what she's been up to and also receive a detailed handover at the end of each day.

Thank you to the staff at the nursery for providing a caring and nurturing environment for my little girl to thrive.

My experience at the Village Nursery has been absolutely amazing from the very start. My child has settled in so nicely and thats from the help of the caring staff. I feel comfortable knowing she is at nursery as I am continuously updated throughout the day and their safety for the children is exceptional. I'm really pleased we picked village nursery for our little girl and can't thank all of the staff enough.
