Overall Experience

This nursery is an absolute blessing to anyone who has had childminders previously and aren’t sure about nursery’s because they have a perfect blend of that one to one care but also includes activities that will prepare them for preschool, they have a genuine care for my little boy when he comes in, which is clear with his attitude when he comes home, wonderful nursery and lovely staff, 5 star all the way!

My son started nursery at the beginning of February 2018 at the age of 2. Since starting he has developed passed my expectations. He is happy and loves being there playing with his friends. Staff are always welcoming and give plenty of reassurances that he is developing well.

I am really pleased with the introduction of the digital learning book. Great to see what he’s been up to.

Overall Experience

Our little girl has been at Whalley Meadows since she was 11 months old. Now 2 years old, she is happy to be at nursery and will talk to us about what she has been doing. Her confidence has grown and it makes us so happy to know that she enjoys herself there. She even asks to go to nursery on her days off which shows how much she values her time there. The staff are always very friendly and happy to talk both at drop off and pick up times.

Overall Experience

Our son is so well cared for at this nursery. When we arrive at the building he starts waving as he's so happy to see the place! He's fed like a King and the meals are extremely healthy and nutritious. All the staff know and care for him, and his key worker is like a second Mammy to him. We feel very welcome at Whalley Meadows and know our son is in safe hands all day.

Overall Experience

Our Son loves it at nursery and we know he is very well looked after. The activities provided are really varied. The food is amazing. Our son particularly enjoys playing outside and this is something that he gets to do a lot of. The staff do a fantastic job looking after the children and are happy to provide you with lots of information about your child's day when you go to collect them. I would highly recommend Whalley Meadows. We know our son has plenty to do, has made lots of friends and is very well cared for. What more could you want?

My daughter has attended Whalley Meadows since she was 9 months old, she has absolutely loved it and learned so much. The staff are all very welcoming and hard working, they have helped my little one become who she is today. Forest School has been fantastic, she can't wait to tell me what she's been up to every week and has loved every session. I'm very grateful to everyone and thank you.

Both my children have thrived at Whalley Meadows and have been well prepared for their transition to school. They have been loved and cared for over many years and have both been sad to leave.

Both my children have attended Whalley Meadows and I would wholeheartedly recommend them. My children have loved it and make lots of friends. The Forest School is a great adventure and the food always smells amazing. There is a great outdoor space for the children to explore. The rooms are large and bright with plenty to keep children entertained. All the staff are very friendly and have a genuine interest in your child and their needs. Thank you!

Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery for just under a year now, he seems very happy when I leave and pick him up. All the staff seem very nice and are very caring towards my son. The only thing I’m slightly hesitant about is the staffing ratio, in the mornings when they are all there for breakfast, seems very busy.

Overall Experience
Sending my daughter to Whalley Meadows for her pre-school education was one of the best decisions I have made as a parent.
The teachers there have created a special warm and nurturing environment which has been a great stepping stone for my daughter. Fun, french, forest schools. This nursery has it all.

She has come on leaps and bounds and we have been supported as parents.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended the nursery since approximately 9 months old. She has always been a little reserved but it has been amazing watching her grow into a very happy and confident little girl as she now prepares for school. Our son has just learnt how to use the potty and all the staff have been extremely helpful. When both children talk about how much they love the staff, you know they are in completely safe hands. One of the best decisions we ever made was choosing this nursery for our children. The staff simply can't do enough, they are very caring and helpful.

Review from Zoe M (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The Ofsted rating says it all, Outstanding! My daughter has been attending since 6 months old and I have never had any concerns. My daughter has progressed leaps and bounds, from feeling new textures, experiencing outdoor bugs and developing her own cheeky personality. The freedom for creativity and imaginary play is amazing! If my daughter comes home with paint in her hair, I know she’s had an adventurous day! They have a fabulous new outside play area where the children can play with muddy kitchens and experience Santa’s Grotto in the winter, with snow too! I could go on forever about the amazing things this nursery provides for my daughter.

This is all down to the wonderful manager and her incredible team! I can’t thank you enough for the time, patience and love you have given and continue to give to my daughter. The Whalley Meadows Family are truly invaluable and should be massively proud!
