Review from Simona B (Mother of Child) published on 30 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been at Castle Hill Private Day Nursery since he was 13 months old. He's now 27 months and is so happy at this nursery. The deputy manager is incredible at her job and absolutely always has the children's individual needs at the forefront. Even during Covid (summer 2021), she facilitated a settling-in process that allowed me to be present for a couple of short sessions - which immediately put my son at ease. We previously had to leave another local nursery after just one week due to a strict drop-off at the door Covid policy (which he found incredibly upsetting). The care for children was not compromised at Castle Hill during the pandemic and their mental health was safeguarded. During our time so far, we've had no serious issues and anything minor had been seen to immediately - which has been very reassuring as a parent. My son runs in each week - never a single tear. He regularly mentions staff by name at home and sings songs that he's learnt during his time there. Thank you, Castle Hill!

Overall Experience
We love Castle Hill Private Day Nursery! We have been taking our little boy since April 2021 (he had never really played with anyone his own age due to Covid) and we couldn’t be happier with his progress. The support we’ve had from the nursery has been incredible (currently tackling potty training!). Our son comes home so happy after his afternoon at nursery, he’s full of stories from the day he’s had. He enjoys the food at nursery and he genuinely loves each member of staff and that’s also reciprocated. He’s met some lovely children too.

He loves it that much he asks if he can go at the weekends as well! When we drop him off now we don’t get a second look most of the time, he’s so thrilled to get there and see all his friends and all of the nursery staff. If you’re reading this and debating where to send your child I can wholeheartedly recommend this nursery, the level of care is unrivalled and your child will love it!

Review from Lewis G (Father of Child) published on 16 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son attends Castle Hill nursery, and I can safely say that sending him there was one of the easiest decisions I've made. My wife and I had to return to work whilst our baby was around 9 months old, and I've never felt an ounce of worry about leaving him with the staff. They are always welcoming, approachable and professional. Their menu for the children is healthy and varied, the playrooms are well equipped, and the location is great for pick-ups and drop-offs. We get a detailed breakdown of his days with them, and we are always kept in the loop if he ever shows any kind of illness. Long story short, 10/10 from us and absolutely recommend Castle Hill nursery.

Review from L C (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended Castle Hill Day Nursery since she was 10 months old and she is now almost 3. She really enjoys going and they cater well for her allergies, always checking with me if she can have something if they are unsure at all.
My daughter is thriving with staff who genuinely care about the children and their learning/play. All the staff go out of their way to have a bond with all the children, not just the ones in their prospective rooms which I think is great!
My child, regardless of her allergies, always has a well-varied menu of meals.

The staff go above and beyond and I 100% recommend them to any prospective parent.

Overall Experience

It’s just an amazing nursery, they are very patient and extremely helpful. Me and my partner were struggling with potty training but with the help of the nursery staff it became so much easier. My child loves the gold star/stickers he gets for each potty training day and can’t wait to come home and tell me all about it. Also, my child is so much more outgoing and a social butterfly because of the nursery.

Overall Experience

From the first moment we visited Castle Hill Day Nursery all the staff there were incredibly attentive to our baby, made him feel comfortable straight away took him to have a little play and a wonder about. They clearly explained all the procedures, pricing (which is very reasonable!) and the environment overall made you feel like at home. The nursery ladies are incredible with our little one every single day, they create a safe and fun environment and are fantastic with all the activities, arts and crafts, baking, playing and everything else and we can see how it helps our baby develop. Castle Hill Day Nursery is all you can wish for your little one and more! I couldn't recommend it enough!

Review from Thomas N (Father of Child) published on 8 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can not thank the Deputy Manager and all the amazing staff at Castle Hill Day Nursery. My daughter started in September 2021 and it's amazing to see how far she has come. She always looked forward to going, telling us she loves nursery day. We had issues with trying to get her potty trained, and thanks to the staff, she now uses the toilet regularly. Her speech has improved dramatically and she is no longer that shy little girl anymore. I am sad to see her leave, but I know she will be ok in primary school thanks to all the hard work they put in. Not only my child, but others I have spoken to also have nothing but praise for them. So, thank you all and I can't wait for my little boy to start with you in January.

Reply from Zara Morris, Manager at Castle Hill Private Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your kind words, it's lovely to hear how happy you are with the care we have provided and we look forward to seeing you again in January.

Overall Experience

My son has had the most amazing time at nursery. He has come on leaps and bounds and he loves every minute. He can’t wait to tell us about his day when he comes home. My son will be attending as he calls it ‘big school’ in September but we will continue to use Castle Hill Day Nursery for after school care as I know he will be happy, safe and well looked after.

Reply from Zara Morris, Manager at Castle Hill Private Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are glad we will still see him for wrap around care.

Excellent, friendly staff who are always accommodating. Kids really enjoy it. Both kids have learnt from their time at the nursery and were upset to leave to progress to school. Staff are engaging, helpful and caring.

Review from Shannon B (Mother of Child) published on 11 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attends Castle Hill Private Day Nursery and I find the nursery really well organised. The staff are brilliant with the kids and really friendly. My daughter's speech came on a lot when she first started and she enjoys interacting with other children, she has friends at nursery and is always telling me what she’s done and who she’s played with when she comes home. I find they have a lot of activities for the kids and I couldn’t recommend a better nursery. I’m always updated on how she’s done in the day, what she’s eaten and I find that brilliant, even during Covid, I found the nursery managed it really well and we always had an email if someone had a case. I couldn’t recommend this nursery anymore if I tried, it’s amazing for my daughter and I’m glad she attends.

Overall Experience

My child absolutely loves going to nursery. We drop him off and don't even get a look back. When we collect him he's always full of beans which shows us he's had a fabulous day. Since starting at Castle Hill Private Day Nursery, my child's confidence and speech have come on leaps and bounds. I couldn't thank them and praise them enough. Excellent team.

Review from Louise L (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Castle Hill Day Nursery has an amazing team who put fun at the heart of everything they do.
The team are amazing, building relationships with both child and parent very quickly to ensure that you as a parent feel happy about the care your child is receiving and that your child looks forward to seeing them every day. My son was full time for 3 years until he started infant school and I still use the nursery for school holidays. The nursery is divided into 3 key areas all ensuring they nurture each child to bring out their confidence, sense of exploration and curiosity, the team update daily on your child's day and the books you get at the end of their time in each group are fantastic and show the journey your child has been on from baby room through to pre-school. The team ensure there is lots of outdoor fun and regularly take the children on adventures and the outdoor facilities cater for every child encouraging sharing and group play.

The teamwork hard to make life as a working parent easier.

Review from Francesca G (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Castle Hill is a gorgeous learning environment. Staff are delightful, professional, caring, and seem to have a genuine affection for the children in their care. Kids spend lots of time outdoors and do a wide range of exciting and stimulating activities.
Staff were very accommodating with my preference for using cloth nappies and reusable wipes and also facilitated potty training really well.
The nursery communicates well with parents and is flexible with individual requirements.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Castle Hill Day Nursery to any prospective parents.

Overall Experience

My child has attended Castle Hill day nursery since July and he is loving it. He started when he was 1 years old and did struggle a bit at first but with the support from the nursery staff my child now loves going to nursery and has come home with some wonderful artwork. I also get daily updates about what my child has eaten and done that day so I can share it with family members. Overall it’s a very home from home setting and a lovely outdoor area in which my child loves to explore in a very safe environment.

Review from Kelsey F (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Castle Hill Private Day Nursery has been absolutely amazing with settling my daughter in. My daughter really struggled to settle with anyone else apart from me, her mum.
They worked alongside me and her dad to ensure that we were comfortable and that she was also comfortable. We did so many settling in sessions before she started properly which worked so well. Seeing my daughter happily playing absolutely makes my day.

I would highly recommend Castle Hill Day Nursery, the staff are amazing.
