Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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 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!

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.

Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience
My little one started the nursery in September 2020 in such unprecedented and stressful times the staff have been amazing. Extremely supportive and helped my child settle quickly.

The outdoor space is amazing and the activities the staff come up with are fantastic. Everywhere seems clean and safe.

Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 20 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.
