Review from N S (Mother of Child) published on 22 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Loxley Nursery Forest School since September and he absolutely loves it. The staff are brilliant, they really take the time to get to know each child personally and are so helpful and friendly. My son is full of stories about the various things he’s been doing at nursery every day, he absolutely loves the walks going to the woods and is also excited to go in the morning and see all of his friends. I have been very impressed with this nursery and all of the staff from the start and I believe my son will transition into reception at school absolutely fine because of them. Thank you so much Loxley Nursery Forest School, you are all brilliant!

Overall Experience

I have two children at the nursery, both stared at the beginning of October and have settled in fantastically well. For the first time, they are excited to come to nursery and have bonded well with both the staff and other children.

Review from Katherine L (Mother of Child) published on 29 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little boy loves going to nursery after recently starting at Loxley. The staff have been so welcoming and friendly that he settled in so quickly. The relaxed environment and having the opportunity to play outside virtually whenever they want is ideal for our child. It also seems a great environment to prepare children for school. Our little boy is now much more vocal with his peers and adults and his development is coming on in leaps and bounds now.

Can’t recommend the nursery and it’s staff enough.

Overall Experience

The welcomeness from Loxley Nursery to not just to our daughter but her mummy and daddy also has been out of this world, having worked in a nursery before, I thought it would take a while for me to find a nursery I liked for her but as soon as I stepped in to Loxley nursey, I knew it was the only place I would ever want to send my daughter and didn’t even bother looking around any other nurseries! The staff have been fab with our daughter, helped her settle in with ease and she talks about each and every one of them at home! She loves coming home and telling me what’s she’s done with them all through her day, I love the outings they do with the children and the activities they have set out throughout the day. I feel very comfortable dropping her off and couldn’t praise the nursery and it’s staff more! Thank you Loxley nursey!

Review from Roisin R (Mother of Child) published on 29 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A fabulous nursery with caring, dedicated staff who go above and beyond to provide a varied and stimulating experience for the children. The individual preferences of the children seem to always be taken into consideration. Most importantly the staff help to provide a happy, healthy environment where fun and learning happen seamlessly. I couldn't ask for better for my son.

Overall Experience

My 2 year old has attended Loxley nursery for 4 weeks now and she absolutely loves it! The staff are all brilliant and have gotten to know her so well in such a short space of time and made us all feel very welcome.

The staff are really professional and approachable and keep you updated throughout the day with what your child is up to, you can see how much they enjoy working with the children and its just generally a lovely environment to be in every time you go.

Review from Kathryn M (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We chose this nursery because of the free access to outdoor space. My little boy loves to play outside and especially enjoys going out on walks and the Forest Schools activities.

The staff are passionate about what they do and nothing is too much trouble. Although every child has a key worker, I believe that all the staff know and understand my child as an individual. The feedback and communication about my child are excellent.

The nursery provides a wide range of activities and staff are very responsive to the children's interests.

The snacks are varied and it's great that they are included in the hourly rate. It's also good to have the flexibility to choose packed lunch or school dinners (during term time) on any given day.

Review from Dimitra R (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Staff are all very friendly, always make sure they discuss my daughters day and how she is getting on. It is her first month at nursery and she has settled in very well which was down to the fabulous taster sessions that she went to before starting and the comfortable environment the nursery staff have created. Keep up the good work.
