Both my children have attended The Stables nursery in Whitley and I can't praise the nursery and staff highly enough. My children have loved being there and I have felt comfortable leaving my children in their hands, even from when they started in the baby room. The level of care and interest each child is shown is wonderful. My eldest still talks about his time at the nursery and has very fond memories of both staff and his little friends. I feel that the Reception Room team prepare the children for starting school very well with regular small group phonics sessions, practising sitting and listening, social skills and I love that the children also do yoga and are introduced to mindfulness and educated not just on phonics and maths, but also how to be kind, polite and a good friend. The meals are excellently prepared and the activity calendar is always packed with lovely outings, craft sessions, dress up days and sporting activities. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Since starting at The Stables at 10 months old, my daughter has grown from a baby into a little girl with bags of character - she learns something new every day and beams from ear to ear when I tell her where we are going each morning.

Since starting at The Stables at 10 months old, my daughter has grown from a baby into a little girl with bags of character - she learns something new every day and beams from ear to ear when I tell her where we are going each morning. The staff take the time to bond with your child, even if they aren't your key worker. Every member of staff knows every child's name and greets them like their own.
The facilities are great, a beautiful setting in the heart of the countryside surrounded by greenery and animals. I couldn't wish for more.

The Stables Nursery have provided excellent care to our 2 children. It really does feel like we are trusting our children to friends. They have always understood both our needs as a family but have got to grips with our children very quickly. They have always been hugely accommodating with changes in childcare requirements and respond efficiently to requests. They make great steps to prepare children for transition to school with small group work in phonics and numbers.
Our only critique would be that there are many staff room changes.

Overall Experience
The Stables Nursey is just what I had hoped for, for my daughter. It's happy and she is happy. She's definitely learning new things every day she attends. The food menu is great too and healthy with lots of variety.
The staff are all very focused and knowledgeable about my child.

We are into our 5th year and our second child at the Stables, over the past 5 years the level of care given to our boys has been exceptional. I feel that the team really know and understand what both my boys have needed and it’s clear to see that they genuinely care for each and every one of the children they look after.
Our youngest child has Down's Syndrome, which does bring some additional needs and challenges, however, this doesn't phase the team they focus and celebrate on what he can do whilst working with us as parents and a variety of other healthcare professionals to nurture and support him to develop new skills. The Stables is very much about Inclusion, they have made such a positive impact in both our boys lives.

I began my career in childcare by completing my Level 3 qualification in 2015 during my time at college. I joined Evolution Childcare in June 2016 at the Stables site, where I first worked in the Toddler Room. In 2019, I was promoted to Room Manager in the Early Learners Room, a role that allowed me to support all rooms across the nursery and continue developing my skills through extensive in-house and online training.
In April 2021, I transitioned to our sister nursery, The Abbey, where I continued to grow professionally while working alongside a wide range of colleagues and teams. In October 2024, I applied for the Assistant Manager position at the Stables and was delighted to return to the nursery where my Evolution journey began.
Throughout my time with Evolution Childcare, I have received strong support and guidance from management and have taken on several additional responsibilities, including Health and Safety Officer, Events Lead, and SENDCo. These roles have strengthened my understanding of nursery operations and deepened my commitment to inclusive, high-quality practice.
Most recently, I have been promoted to Nursery Manager at the Stables. I am proud to continue my journey here and look forward to leading the team, supporting our families, and contributing to the positive experiences and development of the children in our care.
