Our daughter is 2 1/2 and joined when she was 9 months old. We looked at a number of nurseries and have never regretted choosing this nursery for her. The staff are great - interested in our little girls family and interests, good daily feedback, and detailed information and guidance at parents evenings. We've been lucky to have exceptional key workers in the different rooms she has been in since she joined. Really good varied activities, nice outdoor space and a loads of lovely meals. She has loved the swimming lessons just a shame these are on hold at the moment but hope this is something that she will be able to pick up again soon.

Everyone is approachable and friendly, they work with you as a parent and that has a great result in the development and growth of the children in their care.
Personally I am very happy with the quality of care; the personal approach and focus my son receives.
I chose this nursery for my eldest daughter so had no hesitation in choosing it again for my second daughter. The nursery is clean and bright with excellent facilities and a lovely happy atmosphere. My daughter is in toddler room and she has settled so well, I know she is receiving the best care...
I chose this nursery for my eldest daughter so had no hesitation in choosing it again for my second daughter. The nursery is clean and bright with excellent facilities and a lovely happy atmosphere. My daughter is in toddler room and she has settled so well, I know she is receiving the best care and feel confident leaving her there while I go to work. All her learning and development needs are well catered for and she has a nutritious balanced diet. All the staff are amazing, they are approachable and really care about the children. It is a fantastic nursery.

My son thoroughly enjoys his sessions and loves telling me about the exciting new activities he has been involved in.
The staff at the toddler room have been fantastic and have taken the time to get to know my child, who has subsequently formed a close bond with his key worker.
I am always kept fully updated as to what my child has been doing and eating throughout the day via the daily diary. The communication between staff to parents is excellent.
My son has progressed leaps and bounds and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this nursery to another parent.

The staff at Kirkby Day Nursery have gone out of their way consistently to welcome our daughter and us into nursery. They bought a book because I said it was important to us as a family they read it to all the children and have said how our daughters face lights up when they read it. It is little things like this that make me certain we chose the right nursery. All the staff seem to know our little girl and talk to her and about her to us. The staff in nursery room are all lovely and our daughter really likes them. The manager is always lovely and really helpful too.
Great nursery, excellent facilities, food and educational.

The activities...
The activities set are good. I would like to see more outdoor activities planned (walks using the pram facilities, trips planned, which we are yet to see.) Also planned activities from key worker to help develop 'targets' (set by bother parents/key worker for our son), then targets to be reviewed (e.g walking - activities planned to develop this area).
We are very pleased our son is producing in his nursery time. We enjoy seeing and being able to keep something he has made that day :)

Thank you for your lovely feedback. In relation to your comments regarding your child's learning and development, I am sorry that you have not felt that we have included you in your child's development.
I can assure you that your child has 'next steps' set every week when his weekly planning is completed. We also have a 'next steps' board displayed in the room where you can look at the areas of development we are currently supporting your child with.
Each child will have a summative report completed in December, which will be completed in conjunction with parents and your child's key person. This will enable you to see which areas your child has been developing in whilst at nursery, and also the next steps to take in the following three months.
Emily is your child's key person and is always available for you to speak to. She will write in your child's diary what his interests have been for that week, and what type of activities we will be looking at for the following week, to enable you to continue this at home.
Regarding walks and outings; the children always access the outdoor play area and do try to get out within the local community as much as possible. Following your suggestion, however, we will look at how we ensure outings more regularly for our toddlers.

He has excellent communication and talks none stop, he loves the staff who look after him and we are delighted with his progress so far.
Asquith Day Nursery is a outstanding Day Nursery. They meet the children's needs and make you feel at home. My little girl loves coming to nursery every day and enjoys all the exciting activities they have to offer. My little girl also enjoys trips out on the kiddi bus.
