Preschool is amazing and caters to the children's individual likes and interests. My child has thrived at Kids Planet Appleton and loves his time there.
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.
My child has settled in really well at the nursery. All the staff really care about the children and it is clear to see how much support they provide for child development. 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.
I had looked at a few nurseries and was unsure, but as soon as I came to Appleton Thorn I instantly knew! The security, cleanliness, staff, everything was perfect and what I was hoping for and more!
My childs key worker and all the other staff have been amazing in supporting her in the room. 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. Overall, I would recommend this nursery to anyone as they have the best staff, and it is the best nursery for my daughter.
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.
