Nurtured @ Balby

Thank you to every staff member for helping our little boy grow, learn and flourish. We genuinely couldn't recommend you enough!

Choosing a nursery is never easy, especially when they're so young, but from the beginning the team at Nurtured@Balby have made us feel supported and reassured.

I'd especially like to recognize Mandy, who's been such a huge part of our journey. Sending my little one to nursery so young was incredibly difficult, but Mandy has been a constant source of reassurance. It's been lovely watching them grow in confidence and flourish with her care and support.

I'd also like to thank Mickey, who's been amazing with my eldest. The genuine care she shows is something you can't teach. It really feels like she looks after her as if she were one of her own. Communication has always been good, the staff are approachable, and it's clear they care about the children and work closely with families.

While I can only speak from my own experience, ours has been positive and I'm grateful for the care they've shown.

Choosing this nursery was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and supported. The team is warm, patient, and truly cares about every child. It has been amazing to see how much confidence, independence, and happiness children gain in such a positive environment. The nursery is well organised, communication is excellent, and the activities are always fun and educational. We will always look back on these years with gratitude and would happily recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and inspiring place for their child.

Thank you for making her nursery years so special and for always creating such a safe, caring, and welcoming environment. We truly appreciate everything you've done and will always be grateful. Thank you for giving her the best possible start to her learning journey.

Wow what can I say about this nursery. My little boy started when he was 9 months old and he absolutely thrived in all aspects. The staff were super lovely, accommodating, happy to help & listen and always so cheerful with the kids. The environment is safe and secure. The variety of food my little boy ate was huge! As my little boy grew up and moved through nursery, I couldn't fault any of the staff or rooms. We were well informed including parents evenings. I have to mention how amazing preschool has been. My little boy always came home and taught me a thing or two, which goes to show the provision is engaging for little brains. I am so sad that Masons time at nurtured is over but it will hold a special place in our hearts. Especially the graduation day, celebrating all the little ones making their next step! I highly recommend this nursery.

I would highly recommend Nurtured@balby.

Thank you to the entire team for everything you have done for our family. We will always look back on our time at Nurtured@Balby with gratitude, and I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for outstanding childcare.

My son has been coming to the nursery for just over 4 months now and has settled in really well, he is developing quickly and it is clear he is more confident and has learnt lots of new skills. I am looking forward to seeing him progress further and I like that he has had 2 development reviews already in his time there! The staff are all so nice and friendly and I love getting the daily updates with what my little one has been upto, both at pickup and during the day on the all. I would prefer if the funded hours were more flexible ie able to do 5 half days instead of 3 full days, and that the food supplement was not charged during planned absences ie holidays.

My daughter has just left this nursery ready for school. She has learned some incredible skills and loves learning thanks to these ladies. They have always gone above and beyond to cater for me and my child. My daughter has had incredible bonds in each room she has been in with staff and peers. She has always been excited to come to nursery and talks about her teachers at home often. I will definitely be using this nursery for my son and can't wait to watch him thrive in their care just as his sister did. Thank you nurtured for everything. I would like to say a special thank you to Kerry and Sharon in management as well as Natalie, Rachel and Shannon in the rooms again due to the bond they have with my little girl and the support they have given me.

I'm extremely grateful to all the staff at nurtured balby for providing a safe, trusting and thriving environment for my child. From mine and my partners worries for leaving an 8/9month old child in the care of people we didn't know to now being so comfortable with the staff and having genuine engaging conversations about our child's well being, learning and general growth from a baby to almost school age child. Each member deserves the upmost respect and gratitude from us for genuinely helping our child become.such a confident and cheerful toddler. I would fully recommend the nursery to all friends and family I have. Thank yous and gratitude are not nearly enough for what this place has done for us in the last 3 years of our child's attendance. 10/10 fully recommend anyone to try this nursery.

My child has been attending this nursery for some time now and has formed a great bond with his key worker. He seems to enjoy his time there from the updates I see. I also get quick responses to any messages I send to the team, which I do appreciate. The menu is healthy and varied which is good, although i did think the sudden jump from £4 per day to £7 per day for food was quite steep, but assumed this came from the takeover of Nurtured to align with other Nurseries. I think the building could do with some upgrades e.g aircon as it gets very warm, especially during the heat waves. I find the app easy to use and it is updated regularly, although I would like more photos/updates throughout the day but appreciate the staff are busy entertaining the children and can't be taking pictures all day. Overall I think the nursery is a good setting for children and my child has settled in well.

We are extremely happy with this nursery. The staff are kind, caring, and dedicated, and they always make our child feel safe, happy, and well looked after. The activities are fun, engaging, and help children learn and develop every day.

Communication with parents is excellent, and the nursery provides a warm, welcoming, and safe environment. We are so grateful for all the care, patience, and support they give our child. We highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a loving and professional place for their little one.

Good communication with parents and babies

We went to view the nursery and fell in love with both the place and the staff. I literally could not wait to get our little one enrolled for when she's old enough and I certainly can't wait for her to start. They're are amazing and so focused on the children.

They havw watched and helped all my children grow and helped me and my husband through so much more .

A special thank you to Natalie, Shannon, Sharon, Rachel, and the whole team for creating such a caring, safe, and positive environment for the children.

Overall excellent nursery! I've tried and tested loads of nurseries before Nurtured from Balby and this one is by far the best! Great communication from staff on little one's day, lots of activities and never had any issues. My daughter cames from there with a lot of improvements. Keep it up!

Highly recommend

Staff are lovely!

My child comes home very happy, tells everything he did, eats very well!
