Overall Experience

My daughter really enjoys going to this nursery, the staff are really nice and friendly. My daughter has gained more confidence since she started here. She loves going on walks and doing all the fun activities with her friends. She will really miss everyone when she leaves for bgf school this year.

Review from Shannon H (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter absolutely loves this nursery. I know this because she is forever talking about the staff and her friends. Since starting here, she has developed so much; just watching her play at home she mimics her days at nursery, only she plays the teacher this time, and her dolls are the children. I have been considering starting my little boy, and with him being so young, I have no doubt whatsoever that he will get the best care at The Village Nursery.

I was so nervous when my daughter started, I wanted to know everything she was doing in her day and the nursery didn’t disappoint. When collecting my child from nursery, I was told everything before I even asked, and that to me was so important! Also, they have an app that I can check during the day to see what she has eaten and how much, the food is always different and sounds lovely, this helps me plan her meals at home around what she has eaten during the day. Thank you to all the staff for your amazing care and brilliant facilities!

Our daughter really enjoys coming to nursery. She always talks positively about staff members and the activities she does. We receive plenty of information from staff/management about what is going on in nursery so we feel involved which is especially important right now. Thank you for all that you have done to help my daughter feel safe and happy to come to nursey.

Overall Experience

It’s half-term and the first 8 weeks of my grandson reception year in school have passed. I wanted to tell you how well he’s fitted into school and just how well he’s been doing. Thanks to the teaching he had in your nursery setting, he is exceeding expectations. As a primary school teacher, I could see your planning and delivery of the EYFS framework in the things that he was telling us about and in the things he produced in your setting. However, it’s not only educationally that he’s exceeded but socially too. You promoted his health and welfare and happiness. You catered above and beyond for his milk allergy. And we have a happy little boy who loves life. I’d like to say thank you so much for your real professionalism and dedication - it has benefitted my grandson so much. Thanks again everyone at Domalo Village nursery.

Overall Experience

I cannot fault the staff that works at the before and after club that my daughter goes to on a part-time basis. My daughter has attended Village for the last two years - she is quite timid around new people - staff put her at ease and got her involved with activities and playing with the other children. My only issue is the room being quite small and can be crowded and prices appear to be increased quite a lot.

Review from Hannah M (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter absolutely loves The New Village Nursery, as do I. From the moment I walked into the setting back in 2018, I knew this is where I wanted my daughter to be.
The staff are extremely friendly and show my daughter care, kindness and support. I feel so lucky that my daughter runs into nursery each day with excitement. I never have to worry about leaving her whilst I go to work.
The things she learns on a day to day basis is wonderful and it surprises me at the information she absorbs.
The staff are really approachable and nothing is too much trouble.
I’m that happy with the nursery that I plan on sending my son in February 2021.

Thanks to the manager and all the girls who are just fabulous!

Review from Leanne H (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I could not be happier with the care and attention my daughter receives at The New Village Nursery. My daughter has been attending since she was 9 months old and has always loved it.
My daughter is always stimulated by the activities put on by staff. You can really see the great relationships between staff and children and see how passionate and devoted they are to their roles.

My daughter is leaving soon which I am very sad about, so a big thank you for taking such good care of my little princess! I will be recommending you to anyone looking for an exceptional nursery! Thanks again ladies - you're all stars!

Overall Experience
I have been very happy with the nursery.
The staff have always been very pleasant and helpful.
They gave me information daily about what my child had been doing and addressed a concern I had about my child immediately.
The classroom environment was always clean and set out with activities.
The meals seemed to be good and my child always came home full and satisfied.

I would recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience
This is a great childcare setting.
The staff have really helped my daughter come out of her shell and gain confidence.
The nursery seems clean and has a lot of resources.
The food is healthy and good for all children, my daughter has eaten everything put in front of her, which we wouldn't have done before starting here.

The level of learning, especially in the preschool room, is very good. Improving speech and social skills in every way.

My child has received excellent care during the 3 years 6 months spent at The New Village Nursery.
We have found the staff very supportive, kind and caring.
They have fulfilled our requirement for care for our son and 100% more.
They have intellectually stimulated our son, learning maths, English and science through play.

Emotionally they have supported our son ensuring he develops with confidence giving him the tools and skills to adapt for school.

Our kids have really settled well at nursery and we can tell they are learning a lot of things. They enjoy the food at home more since they have started nursery and they are very good eaters. The staff are all very lovely too, we have twins and they always help out with taking them into the nursery or to our car.

My daughter attends the New Village Nursery and she enjoys her time here. She was at another nursery before coming here and moving her was the best decision made. All of the management and staff are always happy to help and always make you feel welcome from the moment you enter the door. You can tell that everybody here works well as a team as there is always a warm atmosphere.
