Review from Lucy D (Mother of Child) published on 3 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Esscroft is a fabulous nursery. We know we are extremely lucky that our daughter and son are able to attend. It has a magical environment, the greatest of all outdoor and indoor spaces with caring and nurturing staff. We wouldn’t consider any other nursery. Every need is met and more - our children love their nursery days.

Overall Experience

What a place! The staff are well experienced and so friendly. The setting is second to none with amazing facilities and lots to do, so many toys, bird watching area, extensive grounds, tennis court the list goes on. Homecooked balanced meals and healthy snacks. It really is amazing and I'll be sad for my daughter to leave for school.

Review from Andrew H (Father of Child) published on 3 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Esscroft has and is providing a wonderful start in life for my two daughters. The focus is on fun and play and lots of outdoor activity (when the Great British weather allows!), within a well structured and balanced early years framework. Both my daughters have established real bonds with their key carers and with their peers. They are thriving and it's great how the Esscroft team involve us as parents in our daughters' development and provide several opportunities during the year for us to get involved. The Esscroft summer party is legendary and a fixture on our calendar.

Review from Sophie G (Mother of Child) published on 3 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended Esscroft since September 2017. I started looking for alternatives to the traditional nursery that my children had attended. I began to look at pre-schools but needed longer hours and all year round childcare that many do not offer. As soon as I visited Esscroft and met the team I knew it was the right place for my son. The facilities are outstanding. My son is an outdoors-loving child and I was amazed by the grounds and play area. The staff are friendly, experienced and caring. As a GP my work commitments can be unpredictable which mean childcare needs can change. Esscroft has always helped to accommodate this. It was definitely the right choice. My son runs in and loves his days there. I no longer feel guilty leaving him as I know he enjoys it so much. My elder child asks why she didn’t go here! I could not recommend Esscroft highly enough. If you are looking for outstanding quality childcare and something a little different I would urge you to take a look.

Review from Melissa (Mother of Child) published on 3 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended the nursery for the last two years. She is thrilled to go every week and is disappointed for me that I can’t go! The nursery has a caring family feel and the staff go the extra mile for the children. Although the necessary paperwork is completed caring for and educating the children is the priority.
My daughter has been taught a huge amount by the nursery in terms of education and has had fabulous experiences in the settings wide grounds. The setting has numerous rooms for play and education and a wide variety of outdoor spaces that the nursery uses to the full.

Visiting Esscroft is a must. No description could do it justice!

Overall Experience

My daughter and now my son have attended Esscroft spanning the last three years, and if I had another child I would send them here as well. My children love the outdoor space, and the owner and the staff work so hard to ensure the children are having fun.

Overall Experience
My two youngest children have both attended Esscroft Nursery and really, really enjoyed their time there.
The nursery is a real home-from-home, with very experienced staff and a great ethos of learning through play.
The facilities are unrivalled, giving children the opportunity to experience different environments and a huge variety of activities.

I really can't recommend Esscroft highly enough.

Review from Lyn B (Grandmother of Child) published on 25 January 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would like to say that this is a lovely nursery. I take my granddaughter in 2 days a week and she runs in saying bye bye granny.
She is a happy little 2 and a half-year-old and she is thriving in this setting.
I am full of admiration for the staff in every aspect within the nursery.

I am writing this review as I believe in giving credit where it is due. People are quick to complain about things so it feels good to give praise.
