Review from Alisha K (Aunt of Child) published on 28 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Never felt more at ease knowing my niece is looked after by these absolute amazing women. They treat your child just like their own, can not fault them in any way. Since my niece joined this nursery she has come on so much, knowing her ABC, numbers, shapes...so much at 2 years old, she comes home and we are in awe listening to her. She absolutely loves going to nursery and that's all we ever wanted we're so happy she's happy due to the nursery. We can't thank them enough!

Reply from Lisa Brown, Manager at General Day Nursery

Thank you Alisha , we are so pleased that you feel this way about our nursery

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been going to General Day Nursery for around 12 months now. She absolutely loves going, and we feel she wouldn't be as advanced as she is now without the support of her favourite key workers, Emma and Libby, and all the team! Thank you for being so amazing to our little girl :)

Overall Experience

"We couldn't be happier with the care our child receives at her general day nursery. From the very first day, the staff made us feel welcome and secure. The transition was smooth, and it's clear that the practitioners genuinely care about each child's development. Our child comes home happy every day, often talking about the fun activities they did. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing environment!" Xx

I couldn't recommend this nursery enough they are brilliant in all that they do, and all the staff are lovely. My daughter is SEN and I couldn't thank them enough for the support they have given us and the nursery meeting my daughter's needs. She absolutely loves her nursery days her face lights up when we pull up outside. Highly recommend it for anyone's children to attend.

Overall Experience

Our child has loved coming to nursery since day 1 and has made a great connection with all staff. They are all so friendly and welcoming whenever you see them. We are very assured that our child is safe when we do drop off, and I know during the day I don't have to worry about them. Great nursery and fabulous staff.

Overall Experience

The best nursery for a homely feeling and the constant reassurance that your child is safe and well looked after. I'm a very anxious parent and I have no worries regarding my child's nursery. The staff are amazing and I couldn't wish for my child to be around any better people.

Overall Experience
Staff are always welcoming, smiling and thrilled to update you on your child's growth and development. Daughter loves it here and loves every member of the staff. Could not fault it as the place is brilliant and meets all of our needs.
The days out with the local community are the best, always look forward to seeing photos and hearing about it at pick-up time.

Thank you for all of your hard work.

Absolutely Amazing nursery, 3 of my children have attended General Day Nursery I honestly couldn't have picked a better Nursery for my children. My son has SEN and the staff was absolutely amazing with him, I 100% recommend this nursery to other parents in the area. All of the staff at General Day are amazing they go above and beyond for the children and also parents.

My three children have just started General Day Nursery and it is fantastic they are always doing something fun when there. My youngest was very unsettled when first starting but thanks to the lovely staff he is getting better and better each time.

Amazing nursery. Staff are very polite and lovely people! It was the only nursery I wanted my girl to go to. I have a lot of trust in them; they keep all the children safe and happy! Very clean and secure nursery! My daughter loves being here and gets really excited when she sees the building 10/10.

Amazing nursery. My child loves it. She wasn't speaking a word when she first started, and now she's saying a lot, made up with the progress and the amount of support I am getting for her. Food is amazing and she eats most of it aswell. Best nursery by far.

Overall Experience

My niece goes to the nursery. She has come on so much since being there. The staff are brilliant and very friendly. My niece is very clingy with my sister but has grown a nice bond with her worker and smiles when going to nursery. When I pick her up, she has always been very well looked after - she is so happy there, and would highly recommend this nursery.

Looked after both my boys, and they loved the nursery so much and the staff too. Really enjoyed going on their days in. Also, enjoyed the food, as the nursery has a cook. Couldn’t recommend the nursery enough.

I can’t recommend General Day Nursery enough. I was so nervous to send my little girl to nursery to start with, especially with her having DS. I was put at ease instantly, and she has come on so much since starting. The staff can’t do enough for the children, and it doesn’t go unnoticed.

Review from Kerry L (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is amazing. My daughter has been in reception for seven months and still, she talks about how much she misses the staff at General Day Nursery. She goes back to the Holiday club and is always telling me how great her day was. The staff are always professional but still manage to be personable and reassure me if ever I have any queries or concerns. Choosing a nursery is so difficult as you obviously want your child to be well cared for, and given security, comfort and confidence. I am so happy we chose this nursery as this is exactly what they deliver. They are so sensitive, very well trained and experienced in dealing with babies and children with all ranges of abilities and medical issues.
