The staff are always supportive of my child who struggled to settle/transition into new rooms. They support and encourage her into new situations and as a result, she has thrived here. Good communication with staff who really know the children well. My daughter also had allergies when she started nursery and these were followed and catered for really well.
My children have enjoyed all the facilities here and have been welcomed by all the staff. I feel they are really safe and well looked after when I drop them off.

My daughter has been coming to nursery for two years now and has been through the baby, toddler and rising three's rooms, she is now in preschool. She has loved the staff in each room and has built bonds and relationships with each of them. She has learnt so much from each stage and I feel her confidence has grown immensely since being at nursery. I cannot recommend Appleton Thorn enough, all the staff are so friendly and welcoming, always making you feel at ease.

When I drop my child off at nursery, I know he is going to be well looked after and this means I don't spend all day worrying about them. The staff do lots of activities to include parents and make you feel part of your child's journey at nursery.
I couldn't thank you enough Kids Planet, they have been amazing with my little boy. His key worker has done so much for him and how he has come on with talking.

They have great activities that they do with all the children (in-the-moment planning) and have the best resources in and outside for the children to play with. The management team are amazing as they help you with any problems you may have and are so kind and very welcoming.

This is an amazing nursery - the staff are fantastic, and they really put the children first in everything they do. My children treat it like a second home and love being there. The setting is always clean, they learn with all the activities they do - especially the outdoor activities. Would recommend it to all family and friends.
Very friendly, caring and proactive. My son required special support, the team always listened, seek more support outside to make sure he gets all foundation needs. They are very professional and extend to the child's family.

The Old Vicarage Day Nursery has cared for both our sons. They have both thoroughly enjoyed their nursery experience. The staff are dedicated and offer a range of activities to aid development and provide an environment that allows children to thrive.
