My child loves coming to nursery and has developed in himself in this time. Staff are friendly and experts in their field.
My child has recently started in the baby room and has settled in so well. I was really apprehensive and nervous abut him starting, however all of the staff have been absolutely amazing. He has created such a bond with each member of staff and they treat him like their own child. I genuinely couldn't ask for more!
No issues at all.
The nursery has always been excellent. My child has flourished since being here. The staff are all brilliant, and I can't fault them.
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.
No issues whatsoever with The Old Vicarage Day Nursery. Excellent staff. Knowledge of our children is fantastic. Our daughters love it! One daughter has flourished and made great friends, the other has settled so quickly - credit to one staff member particularly but all staff have been great. Personable staff. We feel well informed every time we pick up and drop off.
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.
We are really pleased with the way in which our son has settled. The staff are all really helpful and friendly, and I would really recommend this nursey.
The staff are The Old Vicarage are warm, caring and professional. My daughter skips into nursery every day, and I know that she is in excellent hands. The learning environment is amazing and is carefully planned for. The pre-school staff are lovely and friendly, and we can't thank them enough for the care and love they give our daughter. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone at The Old Vicarage, and we think you're all amazing!
Excellent staff. My child always has lots of nice things to say about her day! Thanks.
My children love coming to The Old Vicarage. Their development has been brilliant, and we would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone. The staff are all great!
Both children absolutely love it.
Our daughter started at The Old Vicarage in the baby room and is now in pre-school. We've been very happy with the level of care and the effort that staff put into creating a loving, happy environment. Our daughter loves the staff and the fun activities on offer. The outdoor space is fantastic and well utilised.
I have two children who attend the nursery and they both absolutely love attending. They have so much fun and it amazes me how much they learn. The setting is really preparing my son ready to start primary school and I don't feel as anxious that he will be starting so soon. We are very happy with our nursery!
I couldn't be happier with the care at The Old Vicarage. The staff are amazing and clearly passionate about the children. The setting is great too - love the outdoor pavilion.
The outdoor space is amazing and the activities the staff come up with are fantastic. Everywhere seems clean and safe.
My child has recently started at the setting. The girls were amazing at settling my little boy in. He is always so happy when he comes home talking about his day and the fantastic activities that have been available.
Attentive and friendly team, focussed on developing children in a fun way. My child is always singing and dancing showing us what he has learnt. Transitioning rooms was successful but could do with more parent communication on current development and future areas to develop. Communication of fees could have been better. Good newsletters.
Lovely staff and very clean environment. The outdoor space is brilliant and my little girl loves it.
