I have had children at this nursery for the past 5 years and the nursery continues to grow for the better. All the staff are lovely and I cannot fault it. From the staff greeting my child to the staff on pick up.

Review from L G (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

My son has attended Sandfield Park nursery since he was 10 months old starting off in the baby room. He is now 3 and in one of the preschool rooms.
The staff are really friendly and are always willing to go above and beyond with any problems or concerns you may have.
My son enjoys going into nursery. He loves playing with the other children and has formed great bonds with the staff members.
At the end of the day when I pick him up, he always has a big smile on his face and tells me he has enjoyed his day which is always really nice to hear. The staff always go through what activities they have done through out the day and what they have had to eat.
My second child will also be starting in Sandfield park nursery in a few months when I return to work from maternity leave.

I couldn't recommend this nursery enough :)

Review from N B (Father of Child) published on 26 March 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

Really loverly nursery with great staff and welcoming environment. Child has attended since April 2024 progressing through all three of the rooms. Staff are really friendly and build good relationships with the children. My child has a key member of staff but all provide end of day feedback and observations. Every session we receive loverly updates, observations and feedback via Family app. Children have a good mix of planned structured activities and free play time with lots of resources and equipment. The outside space is really good and children seem to go outside most days. Parents are asked to ensure their child has season appropriate clothing to enable outside play throughout the year which I think is great. Recently there have been Spanish lessons and visits from authors to read their books to children.

There is a really varied menu with loverly 'home cooked' meals and healthy snacks each day. Loverly parties and activities for parents to attend all year. Highly recommend!

Thank you for such nice words about Sandfield Park. We are lucky to have the outdoor space that is available for the children and they go out at least once a day. With the addition of our forest school area over the upcoming months the children will have even more opportunities to explore nature, develop confidence and learn about the world.

Review from Nici N (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

The staff at sandfield park have always gone above and beyond to understood my childrens needs since they were babies. They have always tailored learning to their own specific interests, making learning more enjoyable, engaging and interactive for them. And it shows!
My eldest walked in to reception oozing with the confidence the staff at sandfield park gave him and is flourishing in big school.

My preschooler is learning valuable skills to help him flourish in school too, especially phonics. He is absolutely school ready thanks to the care and dedication the team have shown him over the past 4 years, helping him grow into a kind, caring confident and curious young man. Thank you to all the staff, we've loved being a part of the sandfield park nursery family.

It is such privilege to be able to watch the children develop and grow from babies in to being ready for school. Those first few years are so important and when we get to work with families so closely and get to know the children really well, they feel like a part of a big family. Thank you for taking the time to write us this review.

Review from Sarah M (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

Patrick has been going to this nursery for a few months, since turning 1 and he has come on leaps and bounds in his development. We have noticed he is communicating more with us and has started moving around with more confidence.
From our first visit, to the settle in days, to now, Fiona and her staff could not be more helpful. You can tell they really care and the warmth of the place is palpable. It is so reassuring to a parent.

We are really happy with the care of Patrick. We a grateful for that support and feel confident in the fact that he is safe and happy in their care.

Review from T S (Father of Child) published on 26 March 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending this nursery since he was 9 months, he's now over 1 1/2 and is loving it.

We were concerned about him settling in but the staff have been amazing in their support and reassurance even now he's settled. They've done everything they can to help him settle and grow and now he's loving it , has friends and waves bye all the way home.

We love the daily updates and photos, seeing him enjoying himself and the fun activities he's doing. He's always coming home with something he's made or decorated and they go the extra mile to help him settle by ensuring he has his favourite things!.

The nursery itself is great, full of toys and play areas and a great outside area. We looked at many nurseries and never got the feel as we did with this one. From the moment we toured we knew it felt right, the staff ratio is great, it feels very family orientated and like a little community with family days.

We're excited for him to grow and develop there over the next few years

Review from Sarah D (Foster Parent of Child) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

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

Review from Kate A (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

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!

Review from N S (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

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 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!

Having 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.
