We have two children here - one currently in the baby room and another who has attended since being a baby and has now progressed to the pre-school room. It has been wonderful to see the care and support they receive at every stage. Both of our children have loved attending and are always excited to go each day.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so happy to hear your views.
The staff are kind, caring and knowledgeable, I have never once felt nervous about leaving my daughter in their care. I would highly recommend this nursery for its nurturing environment and wonderful staff. My daughter has developed so much in her communication skills and physical abilities learning to walk. They teach Makaton signs which has really helped my daughter communicate with us better at home.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you have had a wonderful experience at Garden House.
All very personalised care despite my little boy only being there one day a week.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you have had a wonderful experience at Garden House.
Fantastic nursery with wonderful staff who cannot do enough for the families who go there. My little girl can't wait to go to nursery at the end of the week. Healthy, well thought out food options, a range of educational and productive activities all while ensuring children feel seen, valued & included.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you have had a wonderful experience at Garden House.
The staff always give the children a friendly welcome and ask how they are, and I trust them to take good care of our toddler. You can see that they put thought into the activities they set up for the children. They have been accommodating of any requests regarding things such as nappies, potty training, creams and lotions etc. In an ideal world a little more outdoor space would be nice, but overall I am very happy with the nursery.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you have had a wonderful experience at Garden House.
My son has been attending the Garden house nursery now for 3 years, he has been through all of the rooms and will be leaving for Primary School in September. It has been such a wonderful experience for both him and us as parents, and I honestly can't fault anything about his time there. He is always excited to go, and often doesn't want to leave at the end of the day! The care, support and the mental and physical stimulation he receives there is amazing. The staff are wonderful, and I totally trust them to have my son's best interests at heart. I think we will be very sad when his time at GH comes to an end, but I know that it has been the best start for him.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you have had a wonderful experience at Garden House.
Our little one loves the Garden House Nursery, they really go the extra mile to make sure she is happy and having fun. The atmosphere is very relaxed and nurturing and she comes back every day with new skills! Thank you to everyone in the team for all the enthusiasm and effort you so clearly put in!
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad your little one enjoys nursery!
Brilliant experience of our daughter being at the garden house for nearly 4 years now. The staff could not be more caring and attentive for the children. They ensure they understand each child as an individual and I feel reassured they have their best interests at heart. Would highly recommend
Thank you very much for your kind review. We are very proud of our team.
My son absolutely loves going to Garden House Nursery & I always know he'll be looked after so well due to the amazing care he receives from all the staff. We always receive a warm welcome on arrival & are kept up to date via the app with all the creative activities he does in the Toddler Room when he's there! We also receive lovely photo updates & he always has a smile on his face. He is beaming when we come to pick him up & I always know he's had a super day. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of sending their little one there.
Thank you very much for such a fabulous review, we really appreciate it.
My daughter has been at Garden House in the baby room and now in the toddler room. The staff have been universally excellent. The toddler room staff have worked hard to help her to transition between the rooms. I really like the small, friendly feel of the nursery. I would recommend without hesitation.
Thank you so much for your review, it is so lovely to get great feedback.
The cost of nursery is on the higher side, but I think that is due to extra activities they provide.
Its a very good nursery and I would strongly recommend it. It is difficult leave a child without a parent for a whole day, but I know they take a good care of children and that children enjoy it there.
Thank you so much for this review, it is fantastic for the staff to get such amazing recognition.
My son started attending the nursery when he was 11 months old, and it has been a wonderful experience. He absolutely loves it. It's clear that the team truly care about the children and create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them.
All the staff members are friendly, supportive, and attentive, and it's comforting to know that he is in such good hands every day. I've also seen great progress in his development and confidence since he started.
I am very grateful to the whole team and would highly recommend this nursery to any parents looking for a caring and positive place for their child.
Thank you so very much for your amazing review. We are very proud of our team. .
The teachers are amazing, warm, attentive and genuinely caring. They know our child so well and have supported their development and confidence every step of the way.
Most importantly, our little one is happy and excited to go each day. We're incredibly grateful to the whole team and would highly recommend The Garden House to any family.
We are so happy your child enjoys coming to nursery!
When we first toured the nursery in 2023 we felt so at ease with the environment, excellent indoor and outdoor provision, and wonderful caring staff.
As our daughter transitioned through the different age groups, we have always been impressed by the tailored care and accommodations for her needs in each of the groups.
There is an emphasis on learning that has truly benefitted her emotional and educational development.
Thank you so much, what a lovely review. We are very proud of the staff team and the emphasis they place on the individual needs of all the children in the nursery.
From the moment our little girl started at the nursery, we've been blown away by the warmth, professionalism, and dedication of the entire team. The staff's pedagogy is strong and well led- it's clear that every activity, routine, and interaction is thoughtfully designed to nurture curiosity, confidence, and joy in learning.
The atmosphere is always fun, lively, and full of smiles. Our daughter absolutely loves going each day - she talks about her friends and teachers constantly! The nursery has created such a homely, caring environment where our child feels safe, seen, and valued.
The range of activities is good. there's always something exciting happening. The daily diaries are informative. they keep us connected to her day and allow us to make link with home experiences. The observations are insightful, helping us see her progress and personality shining through.
A huge thank you to all the Piglet team - what an amazing team.
Thank you so much for this lovely review, we are so glad that your daughter loves coming to nursery
I love getting the updates in the app to find out what delicious food he's eaten (and he always snaffles all of it!), and what he's been up to. They have so many things for him to get involved with and provide lots of regular assessments so I can see how he's getting on.
He's so happy at pick up every day and I can tell it's doing him wonders being in such a caring and supportive environment. Highly recommend this nursery for anyone in/around the Sheffield area.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We are so happy that you all feel settled.
She has progressed well under their leadership.
My daughter says, "I love it there, I am happy to go to school, but will miss my nursery teachers".
Thank you so much for this lovely review. I will make sure this is shared with all of the team and especially the team in Preschool.
I can't praise the staff enough at The Garden House Nursery, especially in the Piglets room where my son is. The care give and relationships they have built with my son are fantastic. They know him really well and use this to support him in the best ways. There is always something fun and engaging happening in the rooms and lots of time outdoors! Thank you for what you do!
Thank you so much this lovely reply. I will share this with the whole team especially the staff in the toddler room. they are always striving to ensure that the children are having lots of fun and feel safe and supported. In the future we are aiming to develop the outdoor areas more and have...
My daughter has so grown in confidence since attending and they were very supportive of her journey to walking as a late walker.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, she's come on in leaps and bounds since starting and is a pleasure to have with us!
We also love how free the children are, and how much they can choose to play outside when they think the weather suits them.
Numerous activities are proposed, all well-thought and regularly rotating.
A really great experience that will give so nice memories of our son but also will give him so many fundamental skills, already so early in his life. Thank you all so much!
His progress has been incredible and it's been amazing to be part of that. Thank you for such a lovely review -we love hearing how happy parents are!
