Review from Chloe H (Mother of Child) published on 29 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since my daughter started in September she has come on amazingly, her speech is loads better, she is being more interactive with the other children. I have found that my daughter really loves going to nursery and I feel that she is learning a lot and I'm so thankful to all the staff, they are amazing.

Overall Experience

A great nursery with caring and educational staff. We feel our child is safe and nurtured when we drop her off and are always kept up to date with her development. We tried a childminder before here, fearing it wouldn't be too personal in a nursery but it's perfect and she adores attending Ladybirds.

Thank you for your lovely review. Your daughter is a pleasure to care for.

Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery, my little girl started the nursery 17th August 2017 and is now enjoying preschool at ladybirds, all staff are very welcoming and make you feel comfortable within the nursery. My little girl loves going from Monday to Friday and enjoys all the different activities within the nursery. I really don’t have one negative word to say about this nursery/ preschool and would definitely recommend this nursery within the area.

Overall Experience

This is our second daughter who has attended Ladybirds. Our second daughter started recently and has settled in immediately, the staff are friendly, nurturing and caring. Their communication is something which is important to me to know that my daughter has had a good day and if there's an issue they contact me and they do. I get a full update at the end of the day which is a great handover and I really would recommend them.

Review from Jen E (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Ladybird is a wonderful nursery, I have had 2 children attend over the last 3 years.
I have got to know the staff well, they are all friendly, caring and supportive to both children and parents/carers.
They work well with all the children including those with additional needs.
They help all children gain confidence as they grow and develop a wide range of skills and help their personalities blossom.

I would highly recommend Ladybirds and will be sad when my youngest child leaves this summer.

Reply from Joanne Burke, at Ladybirds Neighbourhood Nursery

Review from Caroline M (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The attention the staff have shown my two children over 9 years has been outstanding. When my child was in the baby room they saved her life. She was asleep and they spotted her deterioration. If they had not have done this my daughter may not be here now. Both my children had health issues which the staff are very attentive to and I believe it is due to their high level of inter-team communication skills. My daughter has a strong bond with the whole team, enjoys nursery and her meals are fantastic. The learning programme is comprehensive and I can see my daughter developing in the areas she needs. Each member of staff is passionate about their work and are a bubbly friendly team. This emanates to the children and my daughter comes home happy. The stay and play days are well organised and are really valuable as I get to see my child in her daytime setting and can spend quality time with her, getting to know her friends. We feel part of a family at Ladybirds.

Overall Experience
Both my children have attended Ladybirds. My son who has now left for school still fondly talks about "Ladybugs" as he called it. Baby room staff are lovely, so caring and I always felt happy leaving both my children with them from approx 8 months old.

My daughter has a health condition which requires careful management, staff listen to my concerns and manage her condition well, ensuring her well-being.

Overall Experience

Staff are fantastic and make sure all needs that a child needs are met. I have recently started working again on a morning shift and without any complications, my daughter swapped from pm to am. She has made strong bonds with her key workers and every time I drop her off I know she will be cared for properly and not have any worries.

Reply from Clare Foxley, Manager at Ladybirds Neighbourhood Nursery

Thank you for your kind words. We do our utmost to meet the child care requirements of parents whose circumstances change. We are glad your child has a strong key person relationship.

This nursery is lovely. My son settled quickly and I'm always informed if he gets upset for whatever reason (as I requested). The meals provided are varied and nutritious and the activities they do are always fun. The staff know my child well and look after him to an excellent standard.

Review from L E (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son started Ladybirds at age 1 year in July due to separation anxiety. He wouldn't be apart from me, would scream if anyone came near me or moved away. Since coming to Ladybirds he has come on so much and is happy and really enjoys his time there. The staff have worked really hard and are lovely and helpful and great with my son. Especially his key worker. Overall happy and satisfied with Ladybirds.
