Overall Experience

My little girl started Village Nursery in January and I couldn't be happier! She has come on so much in such a short space of time with her language, she absolutely loves coming to nursery in a morning to be happily greeted by all the staff. Her key worker takes time to plan activities around my daughters interests and i love to see the pictures at the end of the day!

My Granddaughter started at the nursery in January and she loves it. She has come on so much with her eating and her motor skills. All the staff are friendly and so helpful and amazing with the children.
They do fun and varied activities and the children get a healthy and varied menu for meals.

If you are thinking of sending your children here you won't be disappointed, I highly recommend them.

Since my son has started the nursery he's really developed in areas he was slacking. He is happy and content with a certain staff member, he's really taken to her. I feel at ease sending my son to nursery :)

My granddaughter has always loved coming into nursary since she joined as a baby. You have helped her achieve all of her milestones and helped shape her into the sassy little girl she is today. The nursary has always been a fun and safe place for her and all of the staff are really lovely. Thank you for all your advice and support over the years.

Both my children currently attend the village nursery and they both love to go. They each have strong connections with their key workers, who go above and beyond for them. All stay a very lovely and easy to talk to. The setting is always clean with lots of different activities to suit different child's needs and encourages them to participate in group activities. The setting also has a large outdoor space perfect for sunny days

My daughter loves going to nursery every week and especially getting to see her favourite staff members when she arrives. Everyone is always so attentive and happy to see all the kids that come through the door. Each week, my child comes home more and more confident and always learns something new.

We would absolutely recommend using the Village Nursery any time!

Review from Bethany G (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending The Village Nursery since she turned one, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. She absolutely loves it and has formed such a wonderful bond with two ladies in particular, who are both fantastic. It's amazing to see how much she has developed in such a short time. She always comes home happy and excited.
As an anxious mother, leaving her in someone else's care was a big step, but the team has made it so much easier. Their regular updates give me so much reassurance, and I truly feel that she is in the best hands. The manager is also incredibly helpful and friendly.
One of the things that really stands out about The Village Nursery is how all the staff, even those who don't work in my daughter's room, know her by name. It's such a warm and welcoming environment, and it's clear that every member of the team genuinely cares about the children.

I'm so grateful to have found such a fantastic nursery, and I can't recommend them enough!

I cannot recommend Village Nursery enough! The staff are absolutely amazing, very warm and welcoming, they take pride in their work and give the children so much support. My daughter is 14 months old and has been at the nursery around 2 months, she has developed so much since starting with The Village and really enjoys her time there.

Review from Lyndsey D (Mother of Child) published on 20 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Hands down the best nursery! My partner and I visited several nurseries in the area but this nursery really stood out above the rest. My son has been with the village for 16 months, in which time he has developed considerably! Particularly his speech in recent months. The staff are brilliant with him and he really never wants to come home. The food menu is very varied and my son never leaves a crumb. The manager is also very accommodating when needing to arrange days, with advance notice. She is also proactive in caring for the children. The nursery always participates in significant activities events such as Children in Need, Halloween, Easter, Christmas, and other religious festivals, demonstrating diversity. Highly recommend!

Review from V C (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All staff are super friendly and supportive, my child struggles with new people and doesn't always like it when I leave but they will reassure him and quickly engage him with an activity he likes to help him feel comfortable. All staff greet the children by name even if they're not in their room/age group. The food at lunch is really varied and my child always finishes their plate. The activities are also so varied my child loves seeing what is on offer each day.

Review from Andrew D (Father of Child) published on 3 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I simply cannot praise this nursery enough. My son started here and was a very shy child. With him being a "lockdown baby" he wasn't very sociable, very shy and rarely spoke due to a lack of interaction with children of the same age. After attending this setting for merely a few weeks his speech, social and interactions has vastly improved. This is due to the caring and attentive staff at the nursery. They go above and beyond to help in any way possible. I would highly recommend this nursery setting to any parent looking for a good quality start to their child's education.
