Review from E W (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at Heirs and Graces 4 months ago and I cannot praise them enough. The staff including management always go above and beyond to help you feel like one of the family. The difference in my daughter in such a short space of time is astonishing! She's gone from a shy and quiet little girl to a confident little chatterbox! Nothing is too much trouble and I couldn't ask for better people to care for my daughter whilst I'm at work! They truly are incredible and I cannot thank you enough for everything they do for us as a family

Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending Heirs and Graces since he was 8 months old and absolutely loves every minute. The staff are really helpful and he loves all the girls, nothing is ever too much. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds and that is all down to how hard the girls work with him. I couldn't recommend a better nursery!!!

I cannot recommend Heirs & Graces enough! The staff are so nurturing and genuinely care for the children. My daughter settled immediately, her confidence has soared, and she constantly talks about the fun activities they do. Communication is great, and I feel completely at ease leaving her there.

Review from Hayley B (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. Our daughter started at just nine months old and has stayed right through to preschool, and in all that time we've never had a single concern. The care has always been outstanding, with engaging activities that clearly support the children's development.

From the very beginning, our little girl thrived. It was amazing to see how quickly she grew in confidence-she's become so sociable, aware, and knowledgeable, with many people commenting on how far ahead she seems for her age.

The setting itself is wonderful, especially the outdoor space as children move up into the toddler and preschool rooms. Communication is excellent too-we always receive thoughtful updates throughout the day, and the team are consistently attentive to each child's individual needs.

It truly feels like a warm, family environment. We couldn't recommend it highly enough, and that's why we've already signed up our unborn child to start in the New Year!

Overall Experience

A fantastic nursery with a caring, loving and creative team that our children absolutely love. They're always excited to go in and really thrive in the engaging environment, from the sensory room to the outdoor play area. They've made great friendships, developed important social skills, and even eat a wider variety of foods than at home! We couldn't be happier with our experience.

Overall Experience

Heirs and Graces are an AMAZING nursery! We had to start our baby at 5 months old as I needed to return back to work. The nursery have been so supportive, keeping us updated via the app on what our boy is getting up to, all the things he is doing and the progress he is making. Since joining the staff have supported us in weaning him onto some solid foods too which has been a huge help! The staff are incredible and you can tell they are passionate and dedicated to their job. Thank you so much for making a nervous Mummy and Daddy feel at ease!

Review from Loraine D (Mother of Child) published on 1 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter first started at Heirs and Graces in August 2023 when she was 11 months old and in this time she has thrived and thoroughly enjoyed all three rooms she has progressed through.
Nursery staff are professional and genuinely passionate about the children they care for. As parents, we've always felt supported, confident and reassured by the standard of communication and updates we have received, this is the exact peace of mind needed when you are heading off to work for the day.
There is a lovely feel to the nursery when you walk in, it has a traditional home from home environment. The children are relaxed, happy and have lots of variety in terms of activities and toys on a daily basis.
The menu is highly varied and rotated regularly to ensure the children receive a balanced diet.

I couldn't recommend this nursery enough, we are so pleased we picked Heirs and Graces. The management team are clearly very experienced and know what they are doing.

Overall Experience

Where do I start? From the moment you walk in the door, you feel welcome, like part of the family. From the cook to the maintenance man to the room staff to the management; kind, caring, friendly, fair, lovely people. Both of my children have had the most wonderful experience. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 20 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has just graduated from Heirs and Graces Day Nursery. She has been coming to this nursery since she was 9 months old and she is now 4. I can honestly say that we made the right decision sending our daughter to this nursery!
The care and compassion the staff have with the children is 100%. Myself and her father could not fault it. The staff will spend 1:1 quality time with your child and focus on certain needs that your child needs more help with. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery, from such a young age, and all with the help from Heirs and Grace staff. Any questions or concerns, staff and management are always there to help and give that reassurance.
Our youngest daughter is now currently going to Heirs and Graces, and we can’t wait to see her blossom. The nursery is beautiful, clean, and spacious, with a big outdoor garden for the children to play in.

Highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for somewhere for their child.

Review from amy H (Mother of Child) published on 20 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Really lovely team who provide engaging days for our daughter. Our little girl has made some lifelong friends at nursery and runs in now rather than being nervous like she was at the start. Her personality is encouraged as are her areas of interest, we like the child-led approach to learning.
The outside space is good bearing in mind there isn't much room, what they have is perfectly formed.

We like our daughter to have a varied diet and she certainly does at nursery! We love the fact she gets food there that we wouldn't necessarily cook at home, experiencing different cultures is important to us. There's maybe slightly too much cake some days would be my only negative feedback.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been in Heirs and Graces now since she was 10 months old, starting in Baby Hedgehogs and then going up to Little Badgers. The team in Baby Badgers are simply brilliant and from all the daily pictures, updates, reports that we receive on a daily basis really indicate that my daughter loves going to Heirs and Graces and because of the support of her key workers, we really are seeing her come on leaps and bounds. Keep being brilliant!

Review from Lucy L (Mother of Child) published on 23 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is always very happy when going into preschool, which I feel is a reflection of the support, nurturing, and fun he has whilst there. He has developed so much in his phonics and writing since starting preschool and has a wonderful relationship with all staff in his class, as well as lots of friends.
As a parent, I feel well informed and updated with events and I know I can approach any staff member who will always listen to our needs.

Most recently my son was diagnosed with lactose intolerance and one member of staff in particular and the cook were brilliant in supporting us with this need.

Review from Rebecca S (Mother of Child) published on 17 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Outstanding nursery - my 2 sons have been here since 2020 and they are incredible. Staff is professional, friendly, and welcoming. They always go the extra mile ensuring my sons are happy, learning, and safe. My sons run into nursery every day happy and excited for the day ahead. That's thanks to the staff, and the fun-to learn culture. My son seems to be progressing well with his writing, numbers, and phonics, and he’s more than ready for school when he leaves in August for school in September. I’m sure we will all be so sad for him to leave and start a new adventure, but we can thank Heirs and Graces the staff for shaping the young boys they will become. Thanks to the staff - I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone that asks.

Review from M S (Father of Child) published on 17 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has been attending Heirs and Graces for three years and each year his development has been amazing.
The staff in and around the nursery have been amazing in helping him and keeping us as parents up to date on how he is doing.
He will come home from nursery, often bringing home his creations that have been made in nursery and telling me about his day with everything he has learnt or done in his day.
Heirs and Graces Nursery is an excellent nursery that I would encourage anyone with preschool children to have their child attend the nursery.

Excellent nursery.

Outstanding provision. Key workers are extremely attentive and supportive to our son. Great social and learning opportunities every session and we are regularly kept up to date with all ongoing. Opportunity for parental involvement with invites to read along to groups, which the children all love. Great mix of meals and encouragement for our son to try different foods. Creative activities and lots of learning through play.
