Thrive Leyland Meadows

I have used the nursery for my two daughters and have enrolled my son to start next year, I cannot sing their praises highly enough! My children love going to the nursery, especially all the extra activities that they offer, the food is amazing and they always come home will full tummies. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. For my children it has been so much more than a nursery and I cannot thank each and every member of the team enough! Would highly recommend!

I can't recommend Poplars enough. It is very well organised, the staff are caring and friendly, and I love the way they tailor the activities around the children's interests. We love the updates during the day, my daughters walk in without any worries and comes home happy and tired. My son (now at school) also attended Poplars and I'm so glad we made the same decision for our daughter.

After having a terrible first encounter with my child’s care when I returned to work I was unable to leave her with anyone so I quit work and stayed at home. Once my daughter became three she kept asking to go to school and make friends, incredibly nervous and scared I went to visit many nurseries in the local area, none of them settled my nerves. I found Poplars by accident and I’m so glad I did. I arranged a visit and felt at ease the second I walked in, the children were having Spanish dance classes when I went to visit which was incredible. The garden is a nice large area too. My daughter loved it so much she didn’t want to leave and cried all the way home. I signed the paperwork that day and got her signed up. My daughter hasn’t been at Poplars long when Covid struck and the team were so incredible through the lockdown keeping in touch to check all was well and keep us informed on any new news. We have been back a while now and my daughter is loving every single day there.

Where do I start, the staff are absolutely wonderful, it's not just a job to them! They all love it, and they make great connections with the children. We are so glad our daughter goes here, we saw such a difference in her within only a few weeks. During this hard time, we are all going through at the moment, we still have great communication, and valuable help from the team with constant support and updates on what we can do to aid with the progression of our children's learning, so they don't miss out. This we have found to be of great help, we could not praise Poplars enough - they are great!

Ever since my first tour around, I knew this nursery was the best choice for my daughter. Her settling in the week went so smooth back in February 2019, and she has been happy ever since. Everyone warned me about being upset when I did the first drop off, but I wasn't because I could see she was excited and intrigued. The nursery nurses are all so friendly, every morning I drop her off everyone's always so warming and my daughter is so excited to go in to see her little friends. From her first full week, I could see different things she was learning even if it was different noises at the time she was learning and continues to do so. The food is amazing, the app is great I check it throughout my day at work and it always got what she has been up to on there or what she's eaten etc. I always feel like I am up to date with what she has been up to. Best nursery and will always recommend, I will be gutted when she goes to school because it's just the nicest place to start our morning.

I can’t speak highly enough of Poplars Nursery and every member of staff. They are very professional and highly skilled in all areas, are friendly and approachable. They treat all of the children in their care as individuals and are exceptional at identifying individual children’s needs and supporting in every way whilst in a safe, secure, nurturing and caring environment. The learning experiences provided for all children are brilliant. The nursery has a really good atmosphere. The nursery garden and outdoor spaces are kept very clean, the cleanest I've seen and believe me I've seen a lot. My grandson has come on immensely over the time he has spent here. Thank you so much, everyone, at Poplars Nursery!

I would just like to say, thank you so much for everything! This is the best experience we have ever had in an educational setting! The nursery is so well managed and this is reflected in the care, provision and atmosphere of the nursery. Everyone is happy, friendly and willing to help. The children are happy at play and well-supervised anytime you visit and it’s just been so refreshing! Thanks for helping to prepare our son for the biggest transition yet!

I can't praise the staff enough for their dedication to each individual child in their care. Thank you for your kindness and wonderful care, I would recommend your nursery without a second thought, I hope you go from strength to strength in shaping the lives of all the children in your care and preparing them for the future.

Fabulous facilities, helped my child become school ready, in a happy and relaxed environment, with lovely staff.

Staff are always welcoming, available, willing to listen to any concerns and accommodate the needs of the children they care for. It really is the closest thing to a home from home environment with all the love, nurture and commitment along with everything you would normally expect from a learning environment. They treat all the children as individuals and really get to know each and every one of them in order to meet their individual needs! Thank you so much Poplars for such a wonderful nursery experience!

After looking at several nurseries and trialling them, this nursery was the cleanest and friendliest out of all of them. My child has developed massively in all areas since starting at Poplars. He’s so much more confident than before he started here. The staff are friendly and fantastic with the children, the nursery is spotlessly clean and very safe for the children to play both inside and outside. The app that the nursery uses keeps me updated with messages and photos of my child whilst I’m at work, which is lovely whilst your not with them and wondering how your child’s day is going. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, friendly and caring environment for their child to be looked after.

They treat each child like their own and truly love the job which is when in the best-individualised care given.

Having had our daughter in another nursery and not being happy we couldn't be more happy with Poplars. It is an excellent nursery, from the organisation to all of the key workers, it is by far the best nursery in the area. Our daughter has come on so much since being at Poplars, it is a testament to the care and time each child is given to progress and get ready for school.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking in the Leyland area. You won't be disappointed.

I would highly recommend Poplars to anyone! I feel at ease knowing my child is in such good hands. Such a loving, caring nursery and you can see they have the children’s best interests at heart.

I can't recommend Poplars highly enough.

My Daughter joined Poplars in May 2017 and we have never looked back. The staff are truly amazing and care for each child like they would their own. I can honestly say I feel so comfortable leaving my daughter with them as I know she is in safe hands.

In the 18 months that she has been coming to Poplars, she has developed so much and has become her own person, that's thanks to the wonderful staff who take the time to bring out the best in the children.

She loves being part of the Poplars family and can't wait to come home and tell me all about her day.

I can thank the Poplars staff enough for everything they do xx

My son has been attending Poplars Nursery since September 2018 and I can not speak highly enough of the staff and the management. I didn't think my little boy would settle but he did and he is so happy, thanks to the amazing staff in the baby room. The ladies in there love their jobs and they love and care for the children. My son adores his key worker and he has a great relationship with all the staff in his room. I feel like they know him really well and the handover each day is great. They have lots of time for every parent. The app means I can receive updates whilst I'm at work and see photographs of activities he's been doing, so I know he's getting the best care. The management can't do enough to help and know the children and parents very well. I've already recommended this nursery to a friend and she, in turn, has recommended it to her friend. I'm over the moon with Poplars and you really do deserve the Ofsted OUTSTANDING rating. You're all doing an amazing job. Thank you.

Communication is excellent and our children are developing well under their care. All of the key workers have built very good relationships with our children and it makes going to work so much easier knowing how happy and settled our children are at Poplars. The Nursery Manager has gone above and beyond helping with a particular issue and I can’t praise everyone enough.

It’s so friendly and welcoming. The use of outside is brilliant and my son loves that he can play out in any weather. Honestly cannot fault the staff, management and environment. As a working mum, it means so much that his key worker has such a bond with him and he does with her. At first, I found that hard but they even understand that. We always have a catch up when dropping off and picking up. This is on top of the app and parents meetings. They are like extended family. I can’t say enough good things to do them justice.

I cannot fault this nursery one bit. I feel confident when I leave my baby that she is in a clean, loving and educated environment where she is having fun whilst also developing her skills. The setting of Poplars Nursery is clean and modern but the staff demonstrate values of good old-fashioned childcare practitioners in the fact that they promote good manners from the children and also mutual respect. Money isn't an issue when it comes to my children but I do find Poplars Nursery very good value.

I am a foster carer who has a child placed at Poplars Nursery. I have complete confidence in this nursery and can't praise it enough, they have supported me in all aspects with my CLA.

I would highly recommend Poplars Nursery and would not hesitate to place another child in the future. 100% professional.
