Review from Emma S (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Nutkins Nursery is very well organised and communication with parents is excellent (via newsletters, noticeboard and face to face). Activities are well organised and a huge variety of activities. Plenty of art work is brought home and updates of her progress. My daughter talks lots about Nursery and often role plays her teacher at home. She has made many friends, also her key worker has made a really strong connection with her. My daughter's development has come on in leaps and bounds since she started.

I have two children at this nursery and they have both loved it from day one. I was always comfortable leaving my children here from a young age, the staff are all amazing and couldn't wish for a better place for my children to spend there time while I'm at work.

Overall Experience

My child has been at Nutkins since 7 months old and I can honestly say I have not had one cause for concern with the nursery set up or staff. They are all truly amazing carers of children, they stretch and challenge children to enable them to feel special and that they are achieving. My child has made some lovely friends and he always speak very highly of the staff. The food is made fresh everyday and use is made of local produce which is of importance to me as a Mother. The staff will spend time to inform me of what my child has done through the day and also how he is progressing overall. It is a lovely place and if I didn't have to work I would want to go to!!

Overall Experience

Definitely the best nursery in Blackpool/Cleveleys. The staff are caring and approachable and my daughter enjoys her nursery days. Lots of space both inside and out for all age groups and the staff go above and beyond to help each individual child. I would highly recommend this Nursery as a first choice to anyone.

Review from Su S (Mother of Child) published on 25 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Excellent, caring nursery with friendly well trained staff who care about the children they meet. Plenty of space and different areas for the children to play with. The children are always doing something exciting from science club, drama, meeting reptiles and cooking. They spent time settling in the children at the start allocating key workers by who the child bonded with and not just who had the least children to look after. The assessments files are filled with wonderful keepsakes of what the children got up to whilst they were at nursery. Christmas celebrations at the nearby church are tear jerkers, as are the graduation ceremonies. As a mum of two boys that have attended Nutkins I will miss all of the staff greatly as they are a lovely bunch and I thank them for looking after my children so well whilst I am working. If your looking for a nursery I can't think of any place better.

Review from Lisa (Mother of Child) published on 24 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have used this Nursery for the last 7 years, all 3 of my children have attended Nutkins, my eldest is 9 , middle 5 and my youngest who currently still attends is 2.
I would not send my children anywhere else, it is an amazing nursery, every single member of staff genuinely cares about each child as an individual and their families too. I am so comfortable leaving my child in their care.
I looked around many nurseries before deciding this was the one, I knew as soon as I stepped inside. There are so many different areas for your child to decide what they would like to do/play at that time, they are not confined to one space. My daughter loves to take her breakfast outside with her in a morning instead of sitting at snack table, which is no problem at all, whatever makes the child happy.
The staff still ask about my older 2 children now and are eager to hear how they getting on in school. I have recommended many friends who are all grateful that they now too are part of the Nutkins family.

Best Nursery Ever!!

Review from Emma B (Mother of Child) published on 24 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been going to Nutkins for the last 4 months, after moving him from a previous nursery which we weren't happy with. He was made to feel so welcome and safe from day 1, and staff always made sure there was someone with him until he had fully settled in. It seems like a lifetime ago as he is now the most confident happy little boy whilst there, and I have the staff team to thank for that. They have all been amazing, and I feel as though I am dropping him off with family. Wonderful atmosphere and so many different activities for babies/children of all ages. He has made so many friends since being there, and I am always kept up-to-date by the staff, the communication is great. I would highly recommend Nutkins to anyone, and it's the best thing I ever did sending my boy there. Will be such a shame when he has to leave to go to school!

Review from Melissa R (Mother of Child) published on 24 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Such an amazing nursery. I feel confident and completely at ease every single day my little boy attends Nutkins, which is 3 1/2 years nearly. Such a loving place. I know my son is loved and cared for by the best there is. Tons of fun, excellent facilities, excellent cook who provides healthy meal and snacks. My little boy is lactose intolerant and this has been completely supported since him being a few months old. Very skilled, loving, happy and patient staff. We are staying on to Nutkins pre school as don't see the point in moving when we are so happy and content here. ?? We love Nutkins and not sure where we would be without them!!!

Review from Nikki M (Mother of Child) published on 24 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending Nutkins for around 12 months. He was about 14 months when he started going and we were recommended by a number of people. I had looked at a few others nearer to my house as this is not that local but I felt I got a much better feeling from here that it was worth the extra journey time. My son had become very clingy and suffered separation anxiety a lot so I felt he needed to start nursery. I was a little apprehensive to begin with as knew it would be difficult at the start but he settled in well as everyone was so lovely. He has come along leaps and bounds and absolutely loves it, he is so excited when he knows he's going and he has progressed in every way. It has helped him massively and he has learnt so much, every week he comes home knowing new things.

Overall Experience

This is a great nursery, my daughter is 2.5 years old and she loves it. So much that she gets all excited when we are approaching it in the car lol. It's clean, there's loads of activities for the kids, the staff are caring and genuinely interested in the well being of the children.

Most importantly my daughter has come on leaps and bounds in her confidence, speech and interaction with other children, Nutkins has undoubtedly played a big part in this.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from Linzi M (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We didn't look at any other nurseries as Nutkins came highly recommended by friends. We could not have wished for a better nursery in terms of the high level of care and understanding to our children's needs.
Our children have felt safe, secure and nurtured by all the wonderful staff and have developed their personalities in a stimulating and enriching environment
Nursery is so important for those first early steps away from mum and dad and teaching them a wide variety of skills to help them transition into school life.
My little boy leaves soon to start school and he has become a confident and caring little boy that has flourished at Nutkins.
My little girl will be with them until 2017.

I only wish there could be a Nutkins school and high school then they never have to leave!

Review from Siobhan F (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has been at Nutkins since he was 6 months old. He's 3 in a few months. It's a brilliant nursery and the staff are so lovely and make you feel like part of the family. They go above and beyond for all the children and parents and grandparents. I was so nervous about leaving my little one but they made me feel so comfortable being able to ring up and check on him and he always came home with what he had been doing and eaten etc as he was very fussy. My little boy has some brilliant relationships with the staff here and he has learnt so much through lots of fun ways as a result of going to nursery. I recommend Nutkins to everyone and everyone who asks where my little boy goes and I say Nutkins they always say good things about them. I couldn't fault them. Thank you for doing a great job.

Review from Nicole A (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my Daughters have attended Nutkins 2 mornings a week from ages 3 and 2. Both girls have loved every minute and have really thrived during their time there.
The staff have all been amazing since day 1 and done everything to welcome the girls and settle them into the environment, and have been fantastic in supporting any additional needs.
Nutkins has helped both girls gain confidence and are great at encouraging the children to explore outside of their comfort zone and reach their full potential.

Could not be happier with my choice and I can't thank them enough for everything they do.

Review from Matt C (Father of Child) published on 22 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This Nursery is top class in every need. All the children love the activities and the staff are very forthcoming in attending to their needs.
I would not hesitate in recommending this nursery to other parents, the word of mouth that surrounds Nutkins proves the standard of
care taken with all children, and the enjoyment they have in attendance. Opening a second nursery, which has also been a success proves beyond
doubt how popular they have become.
Prior to my son's arrival, we knew this would be the nursery for him, we were thrilled when he was accepted, and we are now, as parents thriving on his
first years of his childhood seeing how much he has progressed - all thanks to Nutkins nursery. Speaking with both past and present parents, you gain the feeling this
is the general feedback. We for one, will be gutted when he leaves for school next year, it almost makes you feel you would like your child to remain there forever !

Thanks to all the staff, I can't single out anyone, as they are a great team.

A very happy parent.

Review from Victoria W (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

*OUTSTANDING CARE* Both of my children have attended this nursery over the space of 7 years and I really wouldn't use any other. First my daughter attended and now my little boy. He has been coming since he was a baby and is now nearly two. You receive such a home from home feel whenever you are there. The nursery is managed to a high standard. The practitioners are experienced, loving and very knowledgable in what they do, providing high end outstanding care. The practitioners are welcoming and always have new ideas and activities to provide the children with a rich fulfilling learning experience. But most of all they will take care of your child like they were their own, go above and beyond to make your child's day a settled, fun and happy one. I work in Early Years myself and this is one nursery I feel content in leaving my little boy at whilst I go off to work. He adores his nursery and all of the practitioners that make it the best nursery around.

Review from Donna B (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been going to Nutkins since 2013 and we have loved every minute of it. I spent lots of time looking at other nurseries in the area and none come even close to the standard we found here.

The staff are friendly and always available for anything you need. The children are always number 1 priority and there is always something for them to learn, make or do. Although the owner is always around and takes a very active role in the running of the place and the well being of the children and their families.

Little details are always remembered and parents often find birthday cards, Christmas gifts and various other things they have made in their school bags (this made Nutkins even more special to us).

The home cooked food is amazing and my son eats a wide variety of food at Nutkins that he would never attempt at home. Also the records of your child's achievements are very well kept and lovely to read at parents evening (plus you get to keep these when they finish).

We try to teach our son a lot at home but the things that he learns at Nutkins really astound us at times and we feel that with their help he is more than ready to take the next step to "big school".

All round I couldn't rate Nutkins high enough and know that our family will miss them immensely when our son starts reception in September.

Couldn't leave my son in better care than Nutkins.
