Review from Natasha B (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

We are so pleased with the progress our children have made since joining The New Village Nursery. All the staff are welcoming and helpful. They always have time to let you know about the day and if there are any questions or concerns. We would highly recommend The New Village Nursery. The time, effort and support they give to the children is brilliant. Our children love the activities they partake in at the nursery. We love the extra effort that goes in to make the children learning fun and enjoyable.

Overall Experience

New Village Nursery is fantastic. My two children attend full-time and really enjoy it. All the staff are brilliant and welcoming. My daughter in pre-school has developed significantly since attending here, there is a lot of fun educational learning, even French and Spanish. The nursery is very accommodating and I would highly recommend.

Review from G H (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 17 months, he is now 3 years old and he has been in every room in the nursery. The staff are all friendly, lovely, helpful and my son likes all the staff and enjoys coming to nursery every day. My son is due to leave soon to go to "school nursery", I know my son will be upset and will sadly miss the nursery and everybody who works there and his friends he's made. I want to say a massive thank you.

Review from P B (Grandmother of Child) published on 24 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

Overall very happy with this nursery and the children are happy to go. I will be using the nursery and facilities during the school summer holidays and I am very impressed with the forthcoming arranged events and activities for that time period. Overall staff and management are very approachable and helpful; one or two of the younger members of staff could just do with being a little bit more 'smiley' and 'happy' on welcoming small children into the nursery: other than that I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Review from Shelley F (Mother of Child) published on 22 June 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

My 5-year-old has been here for the school holidays, the amenities are great (good outdoor space and plenty of age-appropriate toys) the staff are lovely, yet professional and prices very competitive.

What I do like is children are taken out so it's not "the same old same old" for them.

There have been some staff changes for the better, my little boy has really enjoyed himself this time. Full marks to the staff for making his stay a pleasurable one.
