Review from Annie E (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are fantastic, incredibly caring, and create a warm, nurturing environment where children thrive. The setting is excellent, with plenty of extra activities that keep the children engaged and excited to learn.

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.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Garden House since September and has loved every minute she has attended! The transition to nursery was smooth and she adapted really quickly, a huge thanks to the amazing staff who helped her to settle in. They do lots of fun activities in the baby room including water play which my daughter loves!

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.

My little boy is in the toddler room - and wow the staff are just amazing - so compassionate and caring with the little ones - my little boy loves all the staff there. They work so hard to keep parents updated too. Cannot fault them.

All very personalised care despite my little boy only being there one day a week.

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.

Review from J B (Father of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Kimberley S (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

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

Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from M S (Mother of Child) published on 16 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Its an excellent nursery and both of my children go to this nursery. Staff is exceptional! They are very caring, friendly and look after children well. They provide different activities daily and try to stimulate children in various ways. For older children they provide activities such as tennis. They regularly do small group activities and try to bring the best in every child.
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.

Review from Lamiae B (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

We couldn't be happier with The Garden House. Our child has attended since 5 months old and is now 2½, and the care throughout has been outstanding.
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.

Overall Experience
Our daughter LOVES her nursery. We are so glad we sent her to Garden House.
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.

Overall Experience
A truly wonderful nursery experience!
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.

Overall Experience
My son started at The Garden House Nursery in September when I returned to work after maternity leave, I had all the initial nerves about being away from him, but the staff have absolutely incredible and he's settled in amazingly!
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.

The staff at Garden House are extremely caring and thorough. I feel like they know my daughter really well and she feels safe, secure and well-cared for.
She has progressed well under their leadership.

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!

Overall Experience
Garden House Nursery has been so supportive of my daughter's development. They provide a nurturing environment where their enthusiasm and care for their important work is really evident. It's clear they have really got to know her which was evident in the recent report on her progress we received but is also clear when we drop her off and pick her up.

My daughter has so grown in confidence since attending and they were very supportive of her journey to walking as a late walker.

Review from Charles G (Father of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We moved to the area from France six months ago with our sons. The youngest (3 years old) has been attending The Garden House Nursery four mornings a week. He arrived with no prior knowledge of English at all, nor any nursery experience. We appreciated very, very much that the staff working with him chose to learn basic French to communicate with him! And we are delighted to see that in such a short amount of time, our son has started talking a bit in English, without any other teacher aside. The staff balanced perfectly the move from them talking French with him, to him starting to use English for his daily activities.
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!
