Castle Hill Nursery have been absolutely fabulous with our daughter, she loves coming and has absolutely flourished over the last year she has been attending!
The staff are amazing and so caring with the children, if Millie has ever been upset they are lovely and always ensure parents feel happy leaving.

I wish we could send her more!

Review from Paige S (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy started in January 2025 (10 months old). I was so nervous as a first time mum having to leave my baby with anybody let alone "strangers" but these ladies are like family.
I see a team that are well led, care, support, provide encouragement to become independent where suitable and nothing but love and safety for their children and now at 2 years and 4 months old my little boy is thriving, I wouldn't have him anywhere else.
My little girl starts in September 2026 (14 months old) and I can't wait to see her experience with the team too.
I can't thank them enough, they really are amazing and go above and beyond repeatedly for their children and parents.

I would not hesitate to place any child within this setting and with this team, I am very fortunate to have such a great nursery and team for my children.

Overall Experience
Our daughter has been at Castle Hill Day Nursery since January 2025. We cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the nurturing relaxed environment.
Our daughter has flourished since attending and the nursery staff helped so much with her potty training.
You get the sense each and every one of the staff really care about the children.

Our youngest will be starting there next year.

Review from Rose C (Mother of Child) published on 13 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We absolutely love Castle Hill Nursery and are so glad we chose it for our son.

After viewing several nurseries, this was the one that truly felt like a home from home. Our son started at 9 months old and is now approaching his second birthday. The staff have consistently gone above and beyond to support his care and development.

They take the time to understand each child as an individual, planning activities around their interests and stage of development. They create such a wonderful sense of awe, curiosity and excitement around learning, and it's been lovely to watch our son thrive.

The relationships the staff build with the children are so special. Our son often talks about them at home and is always excited to see them, which gives us complete confidence that he feels safe, happy and loved in their care.

We cannot recommend Castle Hill Nursery highly enough. We are so grateful for the kindness, dedication and outstanding care the team provides every day.

Reply from Zara and all the Castle Hill Team, Owner at Castle Hill Private Day Nursery
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It means the world to our whole team to hear that Castle Hill Nursery has felt like a "home from home" for your family.

We're so pleased that he enjoys his time with us and has built such lovely relationships with our staff....

Review from Rachel L (Mother of Child) published on 8 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A fantastic nursery. We knew as soon as we looked around that Castle Hill Private Day Nursery was the one for our family. Our child has attended for the past 18 months. We adore all the staff, they are so welcoming & friendly and very attentive to specific requirements. We are so grateful for their flexibility and accommodating our needs whilst maintaining an approachable relationship. Our child's confidence and development has really come on which is credit to the team and their lovely routines that include so many fun and educational activities. The variation of meals provide is incredible. We will be sad when our child has to leave this outstanding nursery. Thank you for all you do on a daily basis.

Review from H A (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A truly wonderful nursery.
The staff are consistently friendly, welcoming, and approachable, which makes such a difference day to day. They're also incredibly flexible, always accommodating of different working patterns and any last minute needs.

I really like is how down to earth the environment is. The children clearly have a great time and get to enjoy a wide range of activities. Drop-off and pick-up is always smooth and stress-free, which we really value.

I love the little insights we get at the end of the day into what our child has been doing and getting the occasional photo sent over is lovely.

Most importantly, I have complete trust in the team and really value the care they provide. They do a brilliant job.

Overall Experience

Castle Hill are wonderful with our daughter. She's been going there for almost a year and settled in so quickly. It's a lovely family-friendly atmosphere. The staff are kind and warm and our daughter is always happy to be dropped off and has a lovely time. The manager had always been helpful and professional, as well as being flexible when we've asked for something. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

My little girl was very anxious and nervous around new people. I was worried about how she would be with starting Nursey. All staff have been welcoming and excellent in accommodating my daughter's needs. They have made this transaction of going into Nursey smooth and stress-free. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Overall Experience

My daughter started at Castle Hill in April 2024 and absolutely loves it. The staff were brilliant at helping her settle in and she will happily go to any of them which really put my mind at ease leaving her for the first time. It's got a lovely homely feel and the manager is always on hand to help with any questions. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Castle Hill Day Nursery is like a second home for my son, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming, it’s like dropping him off with family every morning. The staff are not just professionals; they’re genuine, caring individuals who go above and beyond to ensure every child feels loved and supported. The facilities are fantastic, with tons of fun activities that keep my little one entertained and learning all day long.

The second child is now at Castle Hill and my wife and I didn't need to have a conversation about him attending somewhere else, the conversation was "Have you contacted the manager yet to make sure he gets in".

Sums up my thoughts.

Absolutely blown away by the amount of care my daughter receives at Castle Hill Day Nursery with the manager and the team. She has so much fun and regularly brings home artwork to show us. The nursery is affordable for all that you get and my daughter loves it there. The staff are always smiling and playing with the children. What more could you want?

Overall Experience
Castle Hill Day Nursery has been brilliant since my son started with them a few months ago.
He's learning a lot and it's wonderful to hear and see about all of the activities they get up to.
He's settled in much better than expected and the transition has definitely been made smoother with the help of the patience and helpful attitudes of the staff there.

Would recommend the nursery to all.

My children have been going to the nursery since September 2023 and they absolutely love it there! I could not thank the staff enough for all the hard work they put into caring for both my children!
My children come home and speak so highly of the staff which shows how much effort they put into caring for the children as well as making each day as fun as possible!

I highly recommend Castle Hill Day Nursery to any family they are truly the best around town!

My daughter has been attending Castle Hill Nursery for over a year now and absolutely loves it, to the point most days she doesn’t want to leave! She has learned and progressed so much since joining and every single staff member is amazing, they are so kind and caring and I know my daughter is in the safest hands there. I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Castle Hill from a baby right the way through to preschool. My daughter adores the staff and has developed such a lovely relationship with each of them. The most important thing for me is that she is happy whilst myself and her dad are at work and she most certainly is at Castle Hill! I 100% recommend this nursery. A caring, happy setting where staff communicate with us well and where my child has flourished and has been prepared so well for her next transition into reception.

Review from S F (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy started nursery at Castle Hill six weeks ago and is already settled in and coming home singing me all the new songs he has learnt there. We had tears and questions like 'Why are you leaving me' the first couple of times I left him, now he's trying to open the gate himself and toddling off before even saying goodbye!
Castle Hill feels like a very relaxed and gentle nursery. A few people have told me how old school it is and I was confused at first, but after chatting to other mums I realised it's because they aren't texting me every two minutes to tell me what he's doing and when he's had a nappy changed, etc. Call me old-fashioned but I'd rather nursery staff were looking after the kids instead of sitting on a phone telling me what they're doing! I also want to feel comfortable and confident in the fact that when I leave him there I can get on with my own stuff and I know they'd call if they needed to.

Really lovely staff and very happy I went with them.

Review from Carla B (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been a Castle Hill Private Day Nursery for two years now and my son started in January 2023.
They both absolutely love it there. My two both love cuddles and sometimes are sad to leave me as they are only in two days a week, however, I know all the staff take the time to make them feel safe and happy and within 2 minutes of me being out of sight they are happily thriving.
All the staff are amazing, so friendly, warm and nurturing.

The manager does a great job and is always so helpful and accommodating. My daughter always talks about her day and all the activities they have been doing. She loves to tell me that she eats all her meals at nursery as she prefers the meals there rather than at home! It's great to know that my babies are in such safe hands, so we are very grateful to have you on our doorstep.

We are so impressed with the welcome our daughter has received from all of the friendly, caring staff at Castle Hill Private Day Nursery. She settled very quickly into her new routine which took away all my anxiety about going back to work full-time. Communication is excellent and we love hearing about her day: she enjoys a huge variety of activities, crafts and games and all her meals! We would highly recommend to any parent.
