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

This nursery is second to none. A little hidden gem that feels like a second family for our child. They are professional, work very hard and they actually care about the kids. I can’t recommend this nursery enough. My other children went to different nurseries prior to finding this one, and there is a huge difference in every way. I shall continue to use the holiday club long after leaving the nursery, as I feel our daughter has made friends for life here. Thank you, General Day. You are the best start to any child’s life.

Overall Experience

I couldn't ask for a better nursery for my daughter. She started when she was one and has flourished ever since. Staff are always honest, trustworthy and willing to help. My daughter also has a milk allergy, and the nursery has been amazing in offering her alternative meals and snacks.

Overall Experience

The atmosphere created by the staff at General Day Nursery is amazing! My daughter, who used to be incredibly shy, is excited to go in every day and is definitely no longer shy! Staff take the children on lots of days out, and the communication between staff and parents is excellent. I would highly recommend this nursery as a safe, happy place to send your children.

My grandson loves it here, absolutely bob-on. He's been going here since he was 2 years old and never had a problem with any of the staff, even when he may have been a problem for them. Keep up the good work girls.

Review from Sandie K (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since my little one started last April (2023) he has come on so much. He loves going to school and we can really tell a difference in his speech and vocabulary when he has been off for holidays. He has started to eat all kinds of different foods, not just the beige ones. I really have no issues at all with any part of the nursery. I just wish he could stay there forever.

Highly recommend the General Day Nursery. My daughter loves being there, she’s having lots of fun, learns so many things every day, her speech improved a lot and her English is so good now. The staff ladies are amazing, they are going beyond and above.

Now my son begins to attend this nursery, and I am so happy to know he is in good hands.

This is one of the best nurseries by far, all my grandchildren went here and they all loved it. They came on leaps and bounds even their speech was amazing for their age. All the staff are so lovely and go above and beyond to keep all the children safe and happy.

Highly recommended.

Both my boys love this nursery.
Great staff - helpful and friendly staff.
They both have learned so much, they love it so much and they both have made so many friends.

It's a great nursery. I'm glad they both go to this one.

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves General Day Nursery and the staff. She is always happy to go there and full of smiles when we pick her up. The teachers are caring and my daughter loves them all. It's her second year there and we are very happy we chose this nursery. She's learned and grown so much in the past year, she loves her friends and looks forward to going back every day.

Review from R M (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
General Day Nursery is an amazing nursery, every member of staff made us feel welcome and that my child was just as important to them as he is to us at home.
Everyone knew my child from the staff, owner and chef, this made me feel less anxious as I knew he had a good rapport with everyone in there.
The care they provide is person-centred and I feel this makes them special, nothing is ever too much and no question is ever too silly.
I would recommend this nursery to everyone, I cannot fault the care and education my child and I experienced during his three years here.

I will use the nursery again but this time for the holiday club as he is now in school because I know I can trust the staff with my precious child.

Review from Stephanie L (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Fantastic nursery with a lovely home-from-home feel to it and the staff are all amazing. They are very accommodating and will try their hardest to work around the hours you need, a lot more flexible than other nurseries I have experienced.
There are always lots of fun things going on and the children get to go out on walks and visits and experience other ways of learning.

Always stay and plays happening too which has helped my little boy feel more comfortable in the environment knowing that myself and his siblings are also welcome at nursery, he knows it is a safe space and has a great bond with the staff.

Nursery is always so good with my daughter. She has learned and developed so well during her time here, and nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff. She sees them as a family, and they treat her like she is too.

Review from Emma K (Mother of Child) published on 8 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Excellent nursery. Both my children have attended the nursery and the staff go above and beyond to support the children and make them feel welcome. My youngest son who recently left had an issue with eating and a phobia of a lot of foods. The nursery staff did everything they possibly could to encourage and support him in trying new foods and the chef would make him something different if it was a dinner or snack he had issues with. I would highly recommend the nursery.

Review from Amie G (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at General Day Nursery only 3 weeks ago and in that time, the change in her has been amazing. We moved her from her previous long term provider of 2 years as it was no longer suitable for her. I regret not moving her sooner.

The nursery is fantastic. Staff are second to none and cannot do enough for you and the overall welcoming atmosphere received is just lovely. The activities they engage in with the children are brilliant and my daughter is so happy. Even though she’s only been with them a short period of time, I can see how much she has benefited in that time and how much she has learnt. Lovely nursery with happy staff and happy children.
