My son really enjoys going to Heron Day Nursery, he has been attending since he was 6months old. He has built a bond with all the staff who are always friendly and welcoming. The staff keep me updated with my child's progress. They always add observations, photos and daily notes to tell me how my child is throughout the day. He always comes home and tells me all about the nursery and he is always happy to attend.
I am really happy about leaving my children here, and the staff provide fantastic fun activities that really help them learn.
My two children have attended Heron Day for almost two years. I have never had any problems, I know my children are in safe hands whilst I am at work. The staff are brilliant. They do lots of different activities with the children. Would highly recommend this nursery.
I was extremely nervous about sending my 9-month-old to the nursery over 18 months ago. But as soon as she started in the baby room for her taster days I soon relaxed. She is now in the toddler room and loves it so much. The staff are brilliant and they put a lot of energy and effort into making each day fun for them. They hold lots of different activities and charity events and we often hear back on how she is doing and responding to the other children. The nursery is very accommodating and has changed our daughters days when we have struggled with childcare.
Was recommended by a friend to the nursery and being a new mum had no idea how to go about these things. Emailed a number of nurseries, the manager got back to me quickly and arranged for a meetup. All the staff are friendly and helpful, since my little boy started in January he has loved it and I am absolutely over the moon with the nursery and staff, can not recommend enough, love it.
Both our children have attended Heron Day Nursery. We have found all staff to be friendly, approachable and helpful. We have found that staff have gone out of their way to help both children in their learning and development, and constantly seem to think of new, fun ways to help children develop in all areas of learning. One of our children had anxieties about being away from mum and dad, but staff and his key worker helped put him, and us, at ease. Our other child absolutely loves nursery, her key worker and other staff are fantastic with her.
Our son has been attending Heron Day Nursery since he was six months old and has loved it since day one. He has been going since January and I have never had any concerns or worries. He has learnt so much I can't thank the staff enough. The whole team are fab.
A fantastic nursery that both my children have attended, one is still there. They help children with learning, with the added touch of care and compassion. I have rarely had problems with the nursery, but any issues are dealt with quickly and respectfully. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough and will be sad when my youngest leaves.
