Outstanding nursery, my son really enjoys his days here and I couldn't recommended any higher. My son has learnt a lot being here and appears to be having a really nice time during his sessions here.
Both of our daughters have been excellently cared for at Hooton for a total of 6 years, all of the staff are brilliant and we are going to be sad to say goodbye! The facilities are great and offer care from a few months of up to pre school.
Could not recommend any more highly - what a great, safe and reassuring environment to to send my child into.
We're very happy with this nursery. The staff are caring and attentive. Always come with a smile. Our daughter settled so well with so much support in such a short amount of time. She learns a lot, enjoys the routines and especially loves playing outside. She always comes home happy after having lots of fun. Thank you for looking after her in a amazing way!
My little girl has come here for 10 months now and she absolutely loves coming, she gets so excited seeing the building let alone the lovely staff! They were amazing settling her in and have been so warm and welcoming every single day since! She has developed so so much and I love the daily photos, updates and monthly achievements and targets! She adores the outdoor area and they tend to spend most of the day outside when it's nice! The meals she eats are always varied and nourishing and she eats so much in nursery! Jo the manager is fantastic and will always help with booking extra days or last minute early starts! Cannot thank the girls enough for being so amazing with my daughter!
I really love that other members of staff know my daughter's name, they all say hi and bye to her. You can tell it's a lovely place to be when you visit. She's been there for a year now & I've not have any issues. Can't fault the staff there & it's recently been decorated so it's all nice & fresh!
So, when we found out we were expecting another little girl, it was an easy decision about where she would go. Our youngest has now started in the baby room and will soon be moving up to the tweenie room.
What we love most is how the staff take the time to truly get to know each child. That personal approach makes such a difference.
Both of our girls are so happy here, and we couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.
We couldn't recommend Hooton Day Nursery enough, our son has been attending for 7 months and we couldn't fault them. The staff are attentive, supportive, friendly and so caring, you can tell they enjoy what they do.
Our son has allergies and they are great with this. They know his needs and wants and do whatever they can to ensure he is happy. I have to mention the staff in the baby room as they really are excellent, we receive regular updates and a summary of his day which we love to read.
I feel as though my sons development has improved since attending nursery and it made my return to work journey so much easier knowing he was being cared for so well.
We couldn't be happier and are so grateful to all the staff for looking after him so well. The rooms and facilities are lovely and we particularly love getting updates on his 'proud wall' each month.
Thank you so much to all the team, we are so grateful and appreciate you all!
They both have really enjoyed it, and the girls have always made them feel welcome and happy! My youngest is very settled and I've not had to have the crying episode yet and I feel that's because she is happy and content with everyone! She even puts her arms out to them when we turn up! Appreciate the care and love they show towards them! Makes leaving your children for work a lot easier. You can tell everyone who works there really enjoy it and love being with the children. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone when they ask for a nursery option!
Thanks to everyone at Hooton for being so friendly and caring!
Amazing nursery with lovely, caring staff. My daughter has been going for around 6 months now and has developed so much since. The teachers there are caring, welcoming and fantastic role models for all of the children. I would not send my daughter anywhere else.
My child has been attending Hooton childcare since March 2025 in the toddler room. The staff were so welcoming and warm when we attended our look around and understood when my child was a little bit nervous to be somewhere new. They also helped me to understand the signing up process and all the adult in-betweens which I truly appreciated as a clueless first timer. The ladies who look after this room are fantastic. They are attentive and supportive to the children. They've helped guide through potty training with us, build confidence and socialising massively since the beginning. My child has come a long way in the 8 months they've been attending and I am grateful for their aid. It's always nice to have a little natter at pick up time to find out what they have been up to, and a friendly catch up week upon week. I will be sad to say bye to Hooton for a school environment but I would happily recommend their services to any upcoming parents who are looking for a welcoming nursery.
Our little boy has been at Hooton Day Nursery since 2023 and he has moved up through Tweenies, Toddlers and Preschool where he currently sits as he prepares for Primary School in September 2026.
Jo and her team are the very best at what they do. Jo manages her team well and with 20+ years of experience her care and devotion to the children and parents alike shines through.
The staff are always welcoming and care for the children in their charge. Our little boy has grown to be a very confident, smart funny little individual which has been nurtured and encouraged by the staff every day.
I always feel safe and confident that when I drop off I'm leaving my child in the very best hands and look forward to hearing all about their day.
Their use of he dojo app has been a great benefit as it keeps parents updated through the day and we look forward to updates and ohotos.
Our daughter loves coming to nursery. The girls are always so welcoming to her and settle her straight away! We have updates throughout the day which i personally love and when she first started this was something that helped me feel reassured in those earlier days. Shes come on leaps and bounds thanks to the staff, from babies through to toddlers where she is now we've had nothing but an amazing experience. We love seeing her out in the garden and are so grateful for the big open space you have there. Would recommend hooton nursery to others!
So so happy and wanted to share.
We looking forward to seeing her transition through each room as she gets older.
My son has been attending S4YC @ Hooton Day Nursery since he was 7 months old. I can’t fault all the girls here, they know my son inside out now. I wouldn’t want him to go anywhere else - the bond he has with the girls is great. Each room he has been in has been fantastic, he’s been welcomed and always had a smooth transition. The staff give us a handover at the end of the day to what he has been up to and what he’s eaten. I enjoy receiving photos on the app throughout the day too.
Hooton Day Nursery is outstanding. Our little boy has been going since he was 11 months old, and he loves it. He’s now in the preschool room, and he comes home and tells us how much fun he’s had, about new activities he’s been up to and the friends he’s been playing with. All of the staff are lovely, and he has been able to make special bonds with his key workers in each setting he’s been in. The one thing I thought the nursery was lacking was communication and daily updates (although you’d always get a handover on pick up); however, they have now introduced an app which has solved this issue, and I can now look forward to updates whilst he’s there. I would highly recommend the nursery.
Our daughter attends nursery once a week, and every week, we are welcomed by friendly staff, who are lovely with my little girl. They are very patient with both our little one and us, and we get a full rundown of her day at the end of every session. We wouldn’t want to take our daughter elsewhere! She has come on so much, and you can see how much support she has from her nursery teachers, and they are always so proud to tell us how she’s got on! Whenever we are told about what she’s eaten that day, we are always happy with the choices.
My son joined Hooton Nursery beginning of January and it has been the best decision ever! He has settled in so well, you would think he has been there forever. The staff are outstanding! They are so welcoming, friendly, caring and you can see how passionate they are about their job and the children. I will be highly recommending Hooton Nursery to everyone I know.
My little boy loves going to the Hooton Day Nursery! The staff are amazing with him and he goes in smiling and comes home smiling. I also love that we also get updated with photos on the app throughout the day. They treat my little boy like he is their own and it’s great peace of mind! Huge shout out to my son's little bestie!
