Overall Experience

Always happy to help in anyway needed, welcoming and approachable. My daughters settled in lovely and loves to come back each day, I can see the change in her behaviour and willingness to get involved at home, eg adamant in taking her own plate back when she's finished food and enjoys to tell me what she got up to in her day.

Heathside is fantastic!

All the staff are absolutely fantastic and go the extra mile, my little one has attended since 9 months old and I couldn't have asked for a better nursery. We have regular updates, lots of fun days in the festive period to keep our little ones entertained! The girls are really second to none, always chatty and welcoming!

They are always doing different activity's day by day which you receive regular updates on! I look forward to finding out what they have been up to! My little ones social skills and every day development has been helped massively by attending nursery.

Thanks team Heathside for always making me and my little one feel comfortable and welcomed.

Overall Experience

We love Heathside! My son has settled in beautifully and jumps out of bed when I remind him it's a nursery day! He has come on amazingly in his confidence since starting and I know he is getting excellent care while I'm away from him. He never has a problem eating all his food and I'm happy that he is getting a wide variety of nutritious food. The setting is lovely with a very good variety of toys for play and learning. I get regular feedback throughout the day which puts my mind at ease. The staff are all friendly and professional.

My second daughter attends tiny tots - I loved the people and place so much that I had to. It's like going home from home. My first daughter started in tiny tots and made so many friends and got on so well with the staff. It's like a family. Cannot fault anything!

Overall Experience
Heathside Nursery is amazing place to choose if your priority is to develope your children's skills, needs and knowledge. The amount and variety of activities is fantastic, the outdoor space is great, all the ladies working at the Nursery are patient, kind, lovely and very passionate about their job- you can see it in your child's face- always happy to be there.
Our daughter loves going to the nursery, always have a great time playing with her friends and if I have any dificulties it is to get her home and she never have enough of this wonderful place. The teachers have great relationship with Children and parents, they are very informative and attentive, nothing seems too much for them! I admire your endless ideas for children's activities! Hat's off xx
Heathside nursery was the best choice for our daughter and I will be sad to say goodbye to you all once Zara goes to school. You are all amazing and thank you for all you do for her and our family xx

Can't praise you enough!

Review from A W (Mother of Child) published on 12 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Where do I even start! The support, help and guidance from the staff is amazing! Im a first time mum and was very scared about putting my son in nursery but had to due to work. From the minute I viewed the nursery I knew it was the right place ( I'd viewed a few different nuseries & child minders beforehand), and it's never disappointed! My son is very attached to me and his dad and drop offs are a struggle with a lot of tears but the staff help my little boy settle, be calm and put a smile on his face. They send me pictures and messages (sometimes I haven't even left the car park) to show my son happy and playing with the toys and other class friends. Very helpful and understanding as my son has a milk allergy they listen and cater for him so hes not left out! Honestly couldn't recommend the nursery and staff enough, especially love how welcoming the staff are we can involved going straight into my son's class and seeing the lovely environment the staff have made, thank you heathside!

Review from A J (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When we first brought our daughter to the nursery, we were really worried about the language barrier. She was afraid to go because she didn't know the language and felt insecure. But thanks to the amazing approach of the teachers and their care, the adaptation process was smooth and comfortable. They supported her every step of the way, helping her settle in and make friends. Now she runs to the nursery with joy, as if it's a celebration, and comes back home every day full of new impressions.

Thank you so much for your kindness, welcoming atmosphere, and professionalism! We are truly happy that we chose this nursery.

Review from Isobel N (Mother of Child) published on 10 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Heathside is an amazing nursery! The manager has turned the nursery into such a warm, welcoming environment, the staff members are very passionate, caring individuals who go above and beyond for the children on a daily basis. My little girl is in preschool and has previously gone through the toddler room, they helped her to adjust, and my daughter always comes home telling me about how the staff make her laugh and smile! The staff have helped my daughter to be herself and embrace it and for that I am grateful. We will be devastated when it's time for my daughter to go to big school,but Heathside will always have a special place in our hearts.

Overall Experience

We have had a wonderful experience with this nursery. Our little girl started when she was nearly one and has loved attending here. Over the last 14 months, the girls at the nursery have made returning to work so much easier. It feels very cosy, a family vibe, and they seem to genuinely care for our little ones. There are lots of fun activities, and she often returns with creations she has made. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking to start their child somewhere. Thanks for all your hard work.

I couldn't have picked a better nursery for my daughter. She's been there now for two years and will continue on until ready for primary school in September.

The staff are fantastic and friendly, the outdoor space is beautiful. A great range of food is offered throughout the day. Would recommend his nursery to everyone.

Review from C C (Mother of Child) published on 6 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I couldn't be more pleased with Heathside as a nursery setting for my children! The staff have been amazing from day one, not just with the children but supporting parents too, always ensuring that the children are taking part in age appropriate activities, encouraging them to explore, make friends and be creative! We were also able to take part in so many events throughout the year like open days, sports days and picnics which was super fun for the children. I've never had any issues with this nursery and honestly I'd recommend to anyone. As a mother with mental health problems, I've never felt more supported by the team, I've never felt judgement or uncomfortable which is also important for parents who are nervous about leaving their children. My daughter is also potentially autistic and her behaviour can sometimes be a little bit challenging, Heathside have always dealt with the situation appropriately, kept me up to date and ensured my daughter was safe; amazing nursery.

The nursery itself and all staff are fantastic in all aspects from learning and development to fun and care.
My daughter loves attending the nursery and even with all the fantastic facilities the nursery has, this wouldn't be relevant if the staff aren't incredibly engaging, kind and innovative.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of my daughter and with such a keen eye for development, she has come along leaps and bounds.

Overall Experience

My little one was having trouble transitioning to nursery, he was only 2. The staff really helped him settle in, they made him a book showing his arrival at nursery, from the front door to his class, his lovely teachers and friends and all the activities he will be doing, and it helped him massively to settle in. They send me a daily report to show me that my little one is ok and I can't thank them enough.

I couldn't imagine sending my child anywhere else. The staff are absolutely incredible and make the experience so easy. My little boy goes 2 days a week and absolutely loves it there. We're hoping to increase his hours in the new year. The app keeps you up to date with all they're doing throughout the day so you always know what's happened. The staff feel like family.

My son is two years old and he started Heathside in September. Since starting, he's come on so well, he's so confident and made loads of friends. He absolutely loves all the staff members, they each have such a lovely bond with him. He truly looks forward to going in each day and me and his dad are so extremely happy and grateful to all the staff at Heathside. We definitely picked the best nursery for our little boy.
