My grandson has attended the nursery for just over 2 years and I have found that he has progressed so much since starting, it's amazing that they offer swimming and tennis lessons too.

My niece is currently having settling-in sessions at Kirkby Day Nursery and we couldn't be happier with how well they are going. All staff are extremely welcoming and show great interest in getting to know her and her routine. We are looking forward to her start date and watching her come on during her time here.

Review from Barry (Father of Child) published on 16 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my children have attended the nursery in Kirkby over the last 8 years. My children's growth in learning, communication and world awareness during their pre-school years is down to the excellent team at the site. The modern facilities are used to the utmost by a dedicated team of caring and engaging staff, who are the embodiment of professional child carers. There are also other opportunities for learning physical activities through the relationship that the nursery has fostered with the fitness club that is on site; activities such as swimming and tennis. All of this adds to a remarkably well organised and well-managed nursery centre that is inclusive, approachable and, importantly, friendly towards all parents and guardians.

Review from Kalani M (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended the nursery since age of 4 months (now aged just over 4 years). There has never been anything other than very positive experiences with the nursery. The staff are friendly, very helpful and care for the children extremely well.

In all the different rooms, there are plenty of interesting activities for the children to do. The nursery staff regularly arrange new activities and interests for the children to take part in which are not only fun but which encourage the social and educational development of the children. My daughter loves going to the nursery and it is clear from the way staff interact with her that they really care for the well being of the children. The food provided for the children is tasty (I have sampled it!) and healthy - I would say better than what I manage to cook at home! I would definitely recommend Kirkby Day Nursery - I am very glad we chose it for our daughter.

Review from Kate S (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am quite an anxious mum and all the staff in Asquith Kirkby Day Nursery have given me the confidence to know my daughter is being extremely well looked after. I won't leave my daughter with anybody else apart from her grandparents and Kirkby Day Nursery! Every member of the staff, down to the cook, are so polite, compassionate and me and my daughter have complete trust in all of them. They all make such an effort with my daughter, she says her key worker is her best friend! That shows how close the bond's at the nursery are. The food and variety is exceptional. The activity days they have are so much fun for all the kids. The staff put 100% commitment in to the children and all tasks they complete, especially the Christmas concert! My daughter still sings the Christmas songs now! The curriculum they provide and teaching is excellent as it shows in how well my daughter has come along and just attending for 2 half days. I cannot compliment the nursery enough.Well done Kirkby Day Nursery - you are brilliant.

Review from Jennie (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have had 1 child go through the nursery and have recently enrolled my youngest at the nursery. The staff are excellent and both our children who have attended the nursery settled very quickly due to the nature of the staff. We are always given thorough information about our child's welfare and development whilst at the nursery. We were and are with our current child very happy with the progress they made both socially and with their learning. I would strongly recommend the nursery.

My child is currently attending settling in sessions and I couldn't be happier with how they are going so far, the staff are making the transition for my son really smooth, they are professional and friendly to talk to and have made me feel at ease leaving my son in their care during settling in sessions. I know I will feel confident to leave him when I return to work soon.

Review from Lisa M (Mother of Child) published on 7 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My twins started Kirkby Day Nursery at the start of Feb but it feels like they have been there for months due to the first class transition from home to the nursery. We felt welcome from the first visit and from then regular transition visits were planned. The twins have different key workers to ensure they are treated as individuals. They got to know their key workers and formed a trusting and caring bond.
Our children are very safe in the nursery. We completed lots of forms to cover things like who is allowed to pick up the twins, including photographs of people, weaning forms, medical info...
Communication is excellent. We get regular emails with newsletters. We receive settling in reports to let us know how the twins have got on during the day. This has been very reassuring and it is great that we can put our own comments on these forms too. We also get verbal feedback every day.

The twins enjoy playing in the stimulating and exciting environment, joining in with the activities.

Review from Sarah P (Mother of Child) published on 7 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending the nursery for the past 8 months and I couldn't wish for anything more from the staff there.
Her development has come on so much through being in nursery and she thrives in the environment.
I am kept up to date on how she is doing and receive regular reports from the nursery. They take on board any feedback and always have my daughters best interests in mind.

I feel comfortable leaving her there in a safe, nurturing environment and her relationship with her key worker is fantastic.

Overall Experience
I have had a great experience with this nursery. The biggest positive point for me is the staff; they are engaging and create a fun and stimulating environment for the children. My daughter feels happy in their presence. They are approachable and seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. They are flexible to each child and adapt the learning and tailor learning to your child and their level of development.

My daughter talks positively about her day at the nursery, always excited to go and happy when I collect her.

Overall Experience
My little boy attends the baby room at Kirkby day nursery and he absolutely loves it there. All the girls are lovely and I know he's really well looked after.
This is my second child to attend this nursery and I honestly couldn't fault them.
My little girl went from baby room all the way through to preschool with no problems at all.

Would highly recommend this nursery.

My little boy only attends one day a week so he finds it hard to settle sometimes but the staff here are great. They take the time to settle him and by the end of each day, he is happy and excited to tell us what he has been doing. I would recommend this nursery 100% everybody is so friendly and professional.

My son has attended the nursery for nearly two years now and I couldn't be happier with his progress. The facilities are great and the staff really go the extra mile to ensure that the children are cared for, developed and happy.

I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone and I couldn't be happier with the choice I made in sending my son to Kirkby Day Nursey.

Overall Experience

My son has followed in his brother's footsteps by attending Asquith. The staff are kind and friendly, very approachable and go out of their way to accommodate your children's needs. Although reluctant to leave mum's side at first my son took a shot time to settle in and now thoroughly enjoys attending. The boys have descriptions of activities they have been doing recorded daily and sometimes pictures and photographs come home too which is great to put a mother's mind at rest.

Review from Michelle X (Mother of Child) published on 1 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been in Kirkby Day Nursery for nearly 2 years now, she enjoys learning, playing and making friends. I am impressed and amazed the efforts that the staffs put into kids education in this place. Parents receive a letter before end of week about what activities will be carried out for the following week. This gives me an insight of what my daughter is learning/playing in the nursery. We can discuss/ helping her to explore more if she is interested in the subject/topic.

There are other extra actives going on, such as swimming/tennis, which is something that my daughter enjoyed a lot.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to any parents.
