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.
Thank 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.
My son has been going too sandfield park for nearly a year now and I honestly could not fault it. R son has came on leaps and bounds since coming too this nursery and he absolutely loves the staff. Such a great team at sandfield park thanks for all you do.
Your son is doing so well and it is a pleasure to get to spend time with him in nursery. He has gone from struggling to come in to enjoying every second he is here. Thank you for all of your support as a family too.
His speech has came on a lot since starting which was a concern of mine every new word is a massive milestone for us, I look forward to the daily updates and pictures through the app it's great to see them enjoying the activities the staff have set out for the day!
I will be sending my daughter later on in the year and look forward to see how she progresses x
Your son has grown so much in the last year and it has been such a privilege to see this. We can not wait to have your daughter attend Sandfield too. Thank you for continuing to support our nursery.
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.
The 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.
The staff are all friendly and my daughter has bonded with them very quickly since she started and runs into nursery every day excited to see them. Would highly recommend the nursery.
Thank 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.
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
It 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.
It 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....
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!!
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.
I 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.
Thank 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!!
This 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!
Our son started in baby room at age of 12Months and has progressed into the toddler/baby room 2 at around 18Months .The staff are very caring and always involved in the activities. The curriculum is 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.
It's so lovely to read such a great review. We genuinely care for each child in our care and we will keep trying various strategies until we have happy, settled children who enjoy their time in nursery and grow and develop while they are here. Having such co-operative and open families makes a huge difference and it is a privilege to watch your son blossom and grow.
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!
Thank 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...
What I love most is how much he loves going. He runs in with a smile, and it's clear he feels safe, happy, and truly cared for. The team take the time to really understand him as an individual, and I'm always kept updated on what he's learning, exploring, and achieving.
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.
I couldn't recommend them enough.
It is an absolute pleasure to have your son at Sandfield Park! He makes us smile each day and is always ready to get involved and explore. It's great to hear that the nurturing environment we strive for is working as I believe when children feel truly cared for, that is when they are comfortable enough to join in and develop.
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.
Thank 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.
Thank 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.
We were very nervous when he started last August as he couldn't speak, he wouldn't feed himself and he didn't know how to interact with other kids.
10 months down the line, his speech has come on so much, he loves feeding himself now and interacts with all of his friends , building some really lovely relationships.
I want to say the staff are an absolute credit to themselves, the patience they show towards him and the level of care, play and general interaction they give him and the other kids is second to none.
A superb place and we are made up to be part of it :)
I am so pleased to read these words but, believe me, the pleasure is definitely ours! To see the children grow and to get to spend each day with them is a privilege. Thank you again and we will continue to work hard to always give the children the best.
I explained what we needed in terms of days and times and they made it work.
Not only could they fit everything around us (which was a total life saver as we had to start new jobs and everything) but they have been so nurturing and supportive of our son. He has developed so much in this setting. They encourage his learning and have helped prepare him for school more than we could have ever expected. His key workers have been amazing and are always so complimentary of him and we genuinely love stopping and chatting with them at pick up. In fact every staff member we have met have been fantastic. He is so happy with them and we will be gutted when it's graduation time. Thanks to you all and for all the work you do!
Thank you so much for the lovely comments. We too will be very sad on graduation day but I know your son will do amazingly well at primary school and will make so many new friends. Thanks again for such kind words.
Sandfield Park has been (and continues to be) an amazing environment for our child to learn and grow in. He's both autistic and non-verbal but in the last several months he has picked up so much and is absolutely thriving. He's learning new things every day from various activities, is learning to socialise and always comes home smiling but tired! His 1-1 is a perfect fit for him and has helped both our son and us with more things than we can count. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming, and his extra needs have been catered for fantastically. We couldn't ask for a better fit for him.
I am so grateful to you for taking the time to write this review. Your child is an absolute delight and we all love spending time with him. It is always down to the setting to adjust the way they support and teach to meet each child's individual needs and we continue adapting to make sure we are always the best we can be.
Does best to accommodate needs of individual children. Great app with regular observations and pictures of my child to keep us updated through work/ nursery days. Good communication from manager and all staff about stay and plays / activities/ themes for learning. My child has attended from 9 months to almost 4 years old
Thank you for writing a review and for your kind comments. The staff do work really hard to provide exciting activities for the children that develop their independence and self-regulation. It is an ongoing privilege to see your child grow and he makes us smile each day.
