My son currently attends Sandfield Park Day Nursery and has had a great experience since day 1. He absolutely loves going to nursery and has a great bond with all the staff. You can clearly see the care and attentive given to all the children. Would highly recommend.

I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. It is such a welcoming, warm, happy place.. I have had three children here over the last three years and they have all skipped down the path each day! They loved it and to me, that's what matters! The children would wake up and shout nursery (and were disappointed
when it was a weekend)...
Fiona, the manger, is an outstanding human.. approachable, engaging, encouraging, involved.. all of the staff are like family.
I know the children were safe, educated, happy, nurtured and loved. Lots of the staff have been there a long time which I guess tells you how good the environment is. Marge, the chef, gets a big shout out for her home cooked dinners.
The staff encourage the children to be their best, have engaging themes and activities and include the children's interests and hobbies.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sandfield Park. We love you guys x

Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryThank you so much for such a gorgeous review! Reading comments such as this makes everything worthwhile and it really means so much to us all as practitioners. We work so hard to try and make Sandfield a welcoming space for the children and their parents and carers. We are so lucky to do the job that we do and to be a part of the children's growth and development. Thank you once again!

We couldn't be happier, our son has attended since he was just 10 months old. He is now in his final year before starting school, we can truly see how much he has grown in confidence, independence and communication thanks to the care and support he has received.

From the very beginning, the staff have
been warm, nurturing and incredibly attentive. Leaving your baby for the first time is never easy, but the team made us feel completely reassured. They took the time to understand his routines, personality and interests, and that individual approach has remained consistent throughout his time there.
The nursery provides a safe, stimulating and caring environment with a wonderful balance of structured learning and play. We've seen huge progress in his social skills, emotional development and early learning, and he is more than ready for the transition to school.
Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and involved. We are so grateful and highly recommend!

Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryThank you so much for taking the time to write this review and share your positive experience of Sandfield Park. I can't believe your son is leaving for school this September! He is more than ready though and we will continue to work towards a smooth transition to his chosen school. The older pre-schoolers love going to our room upstairs and it makes them feel very grown up!

Sandfield Park is a brilliant nursery and I couldn't be happier with the care they provide to my daughter. She has attended here since she was 10 months old and loves it. My daughter has learnt so much throughout her time here and her communication skills are excellent for her age.
The staff are incredibly
The staff are incredibly
supportive, patient and passionate about the children's well being. They take the time to get to know each child individually, which really makes a difference to both the parents and the children.
They do lots of different activities with the children and they are constantly learning. I love receiving the regular updates and photos throughout the day to see what my daughter has been up to. The communication with my daughters key workers and staff in each rooms has always been brilliant and really informative.
I can't recommend this nursery enough!

Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryHaving your daughter at the nursery is an absolute pleasure. We work hard to try and make every child feel safe and secure so that they are in a place where they can learn and grow. The practitioners come up with so many engaging activities (often messy ones!) and we enjoy them as much as the children. The app is great for updates and I am happy to hear you enjoy looking through the photos.

As first time parents who aren't originally from West Derby we were unsure about which nursery to choose and as soon as we viewed Sandfield Park, we
immediately knew that this was the right choice for our daughter. Fiona was so helpful in going though everything with us and explaining the process and funding etc. The staff are so lovely. All the staff know all the children and my daughter actually tries to jump out of my arms when the staff open the door in the morning. The nursery itself is really lovely and looked after. There is a nice garden for the children to play in and even a sensory room. We love the app that the nursery uses so we can see what our daughter has been up to throughout the day.
Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryThank you for such a beautiful review and I am so happy that you feel settled and confident in the nursery. The staff really do know all the children and know them all well. Choosing a nursery is such a difficult decision and we just aim to try and make everyone feel at home, safe, secure and cared for.

We have had 2 children in the nursery and think it's a lovely nursery setting. The staff are all incredible and so knowledgeable. They always have advice if you need it for potty training and weaning etc. There are always great stimulating activities planned and great free play areas within each room
too. The lunch menu always sounds good and healthy all made onsite by the nursery chef with dietary restrictions accommodated for. Both our children have been very happy at Sandfield, largely down to the staff and the care that they show to the children. They put so much time and effort into events for the children such as Christmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Easter and nursery graduation.
Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryThe staff are an amazing team and they care so much for all of the children. We love to share special events with all of our families and we feel so lucky to be able to do so. Thank you for your review.

Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryThank you for taking the time to write such kind words. Starting nursery can be such a hard transition for children and parents/carers and we try really hard to make this as calm and relaxed as possible. Forming those bonds so that everyone feels safe and secure is vital to a child being happy and settled in nursery. The fact your daughter is so happy to come in is so lovely to see.

Our daughter started Sandfield Park in the baby room when she was 12 months. The staff at Sandfield Park made a what was a huge transition for us so much easier. The care that our daughter receives is amazing. All of the staff are personable, friendly and caring. We were offered settle sessions until
we all felt comfortable, which meant we got to know the staff and facilities before I returned to work.
Our girl is now in the toddler room and loves nursery, she is happy and excited to go in. The staff keep you informed of progress and work through key stages of education using play and activities. She has lots of fun and has come on so much.
The app that Sandfield park use is great for keeping us updated about her care. We enjoy seeing the pictures of her activities and knowing what she's done that day
She loves the nutritious food provided and often finishes all meals and snacks.
We're extremely grateful to all the staff at Sandfield Park nursery. Thank you
Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryIt is a real joy to see how your daughter has grown during her time in the baby room and on into Toddlers. I love how we get to send pictures home each day so that you can see what your child has been doing - it's one thing being told what they have done but so much nicer to actually get to see them having fun. Thank you for reviewing the nursery.

Our child absolutely loves it here. She started in the baby room, through Tweenies and to toddlers and through each room change she (and us!) has been thoroughly supported. Each staff member really takes the time to get to know your child so no matter which room they go into it is a safe and welcoming
space for them. Since starting in this nursery she has really developed in leaps and bounds and I find that the staff go that extra measure to support your child in every milestone. It's such a relief to know that while I'm at work my child is being thoroughly taken care of and doing activities she loves and will develop her and is constantly safe. There is a nice balance between playing, arts and crafts and outdoor play and my child loves it here. Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.
Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryIt is an absolute pleasure to be able to spend time with your child and to see them grow and develop. The transition between rooms can be very scary for both the children and their parents/carers. We always do plenty of settle sessions so they become familiar with the practitioners and the room. We are excited for the summer when our outdoor space will expand and we can get muddy digging for bugs and I know they will get fully involved!

Our little started at Sandfield Park, almost 1 year ago and we could not be happier with our choice to send him here. We had been to view quite a few other nurseries but weren't 100% set on any until this one. As soon as we walked in and saw what was on offer we knew this was the best choice for him.
He started in the baby room and is now in babies 2. Both baby rooms offer lots of space, a warm and safe, homely feel and lots of engaging resources readily accessible. The activities he does each day are really engaging and age appropriate, lots of tuff trays, art activities, songs and circle time which we love. The outdoor space is lovely too and we know our little one loves being outside!! The staff go above and beyond to help him feel safe and happy and really take their time to help him settle when needed. Communication is also great and we know we can always speak to someone straight away when needed and love the frequent picture updates too!! We couldn't be happier on the whole!!
Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryIt has been so lovely to see your son grow and develop in to walking around confidently and finding his own little personality. It won't be long before he is in pre-school!!
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.

Our little girl has been at Sandfield since January 2024, and she absolutely loves it! It took her a little while to settle in, as she can be quite clingy, but the staff in her room were fantastic-so caring and patient. We especially appreciate how attentive they are; if she's having an off day, she
always gets the comfort she needs, whether it's a cuddle or some gentle reassurance.
The manager has made lots of positive changes since she started, all of which have really enhanced the nursery experience. They run wonderful activities that she genuinely enjoys! We're especially excited about the new Spanish lessons introduced at parents' requests and the upcoming forest school activities - these are such fantastic opportunities for the children. I also love that they have them outside whenever they can as I believe that is so beneficial for the young ones.
Overall, we couldn't be happier with Sandfield and the nurturing environment they provide.
Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryI am so glad that you are pleased with the added extras we are offering. The children are absolute loving having these sessions. We really do try hard to be that home from home and the staff genuinely care about each and every child. Thank you so much for writing us a review.

Both my Daughters have attended Sandfield Park Day Nursery. My youngest is due to leave for reception soon. My Daughter loves her key workers. She is happy and settled. She enjoys her little adventures visiting the local Nursing Homes., trips to the supermarket to find ingredients for baking activities,
and Spanish lessons. She has grown in confidence and will miss her time at Sandfield. She will especially miss the lovely Homemade meals! I really can not thank the staff enough and would recommend to family & friends.
Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryThank you for this review. Your daughter really does adore the outings we go on and exudes confidence when we are out and about. We will miss her so much when she leaves for school but we know she will be amazing and that she will continue to grow and develop and be loved by all her new teachers.

Sandfield Park Nursery has been brilliant for our family. We were initially quite anxious about the transition, but the staff handled it with patience and care and always kept us informed. It is a huge comfort knowing they are in a completely safe and happy environment; in fact, the children literally
cheer with pride/happiness when we pass the gates at the weekend! The team (in all rooms) really the know each child inside, making sure they feel completely supported and understood. They have also started Spanish lessons!!
Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryThis echoes what we work so hard to do within nursery. Knowing each child as an individual means we can fully support their growth and development. It's a privilege to be able to get to see their personalities come through too. The Spanish lessons are a real hit - the children are loving them. Gracias for taking the time to write a review!

super impressive ,helping our baby learn new skills, new words that he chants them out at home ,singing and other sensory activities.So impressive to listen to!
Communication with key workers is excellent and regular updates especially on his feeding has always been paramount to us as he has been a picky eater and has really progressed a lot as staff has gone beyond to support our boy development and wellbeing and it has really made a huge difference in nursery and at home.
The nursery Manager has worked closely with us regarding our son feeding challenges and her collaborative approach and genuine care to each child's needs is what we loved .The nurturing environment is so phenomenal.

Our daughter joined the toddlers group in September 2025. From the start, the team at Sandfield Park nursery has been exceptional! Fiona, the nursery manager is so helpful and made the whole setting in procedure so easy for us. Our toddlers language has improved so much and she loves going to nursery
and play with her friends. Attending nursery has not only helped her development but also her confidence. Cannot recommend and thank the staff at Sandfield Park enough!
Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryThank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We try to adapt to each child as they start with us and find out what makes them feel comfortable and we will follow their lead. Talking to the children and, more importantly, giving them time to respond and then listen to what they are saying, has supported communication and I am so pleased to hear you have seen the difference that we have too. Thank you for working alongside us.

From the friendships he's formed to the new skills he shows off at home, I can honestly say the nursery has been one of the best decisions we've made. I'm so grateful for the nurturing environment they create and the passion they show in everything they do.

Absolutely would recommend this nursery, staff are really friendly and helpful. I had a hard start with my little one as she found it hard to be away from me but with the help of the staff she is loving it there now. Communication is absolutely amazing between staff and parents and the app is amazing
too where i can always check for updates and occasional pictures of my little one during the day. There are always a fun variety of activities they do with the children to keep them entertained and learn new things/improve their skills.
Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryThank you for taking the time to share your experience with others. Your child really is enjoying her time in nursery now. Each child is unique and we try different approaches until we find what makes each one of them happy and settled. Only then can they start to engage and learn.

Sandfield Park Day Nursery has been everything we hoped for and more. From the baby room to the toddler room, the care our child has received has been exceptional. The staff are truly outstanding - kind, nurturing, and completely dedicated to the children's well-being and development.
In the baby
room, the team created such a calm, loving environment that helped our child settle in beautifully. As they've moved into the toddler room, we've continued to be impressed by the engaging activities, structured routines, and the way the staff support growing independence and curiosity.
Communication is another real strength of the nursery. We always feel informed, supported, and reassured - messages, updates, and photos are shared promptly and professionally, and any questions are answered quickly.
We're so grateful for the care, attention, and warmth shown by every member of the team. Sandfield Park has given our child the very best start - and we couldn't recommend it more.
Reply from Fiona Lancaster, Nursery Manager at Sandfield Park Private Day NurseryThank you so much for taking the time to write this review. Your words sum up what we strive for the nursery to be like and we are so lucky to get to see the children grow and develop.

Points = 1
- When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
