Review from M D (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't recommend Nurtured @ Skelmanthorpe enough as a nursery, our child is well supported, cared for and has just thrived since starting there. He always has lots of activities to enjoy each week and always is happy to be there. The staff are always amazing with keeping us updated with how our child spends his day through observations and picture updates, which always makes us feel so happy to know he's having such a wonderful time.

Reply from Penny Hanley, Nursery Manager at Nurtured @ Skelmanthorpe

Review from Estelle S (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was very nervous about her starting at nursery having poured my heart and soul into her care. We wanted the best for her and handing over her care three days a week initially felt quite scary.

We are now 6 months into her nursery experience and the love, care and passion the entire team show her is genuinely incredible. The thought that goes into the activities they do everyday with the children is so obvious and the DAILY if not more updates I receive are one of the best parts of my day. Photos, videos and lots of information on what she has been up to and how that meets her developmental needs.

Today I received 3 or 4 updates - I have friends in another local nursery who receive 1 every 3-4 weeks!

She has developed so much since joining the nurtured gang; her speech, mobility, personality, social skills - all 100% aided by the work the team do. And when we pick her up, they always have a smile on their face and have lots to say.

Thank you so much xx

Overall Experience

Nurtured @ Skelmanthorpe is absolutely wonderful. The staff are so caring, friendly, and genuinely interested in every child's wellbeing and development. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you can really see how much thought goes into the activities and learning opportunities each day. My child loves going and always comes home happy and full of stories about what they've done. The communication with parents is excellent too - you always feel involved and reassured. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough!

Overall Experience

All of the team at Nurtured Skelmanthorpe are amazing. My son joined later on than most children, and I was amazed at how quickly they got to know him and worked out exactly what was needed to help him grow and flourish. They put a lot of effort, care and thought into everything that they do, going above and beyond what would be expected. My son loved going every day, and I always knew he was being looked after by people who genuinely care.

Overall Experience

We couldn't recommend nurtured enough. All the staff are lovely and go above and beyond. An example of this is when our son came down with chicken pox, the manager gave lots of really helpful and friendly advice when she didn't have to which just goes to show how caring all the staff really are. The Nursery provide lots of extra curricular activities for the children, which are all amazing! Our son always has a big smile on his face when we arrive to pick him up and is always excited to go!

Review from Tia H (Mother of Child) published on 18 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We feel so lucky that our son goes to Nurtured, since he started in May, he has loved going! We have seen massive improvements in his confidence with trying new activities, learning new words and learning new skills daily.
The staff at nurtured are amazing, they always ensure good communication of what our son is up to at nursery and keep us updated on everything we need to be. All the staff have such lovely bonds with the children. We always feel so supported by the staff at Nurtured and they create such a homely feel, full of fun for the children!
The nursery chef is also lovely, and all of the food that she makes is nutritious and homemade, which is a big bonus. We always feel confident in knowing that our child is eating well on his days at nursery.

Nurtured is perfect for us and most importantly, our son loves it! We can't thank all of the staff enough for how they care for our little boy!

Overall Experience

We have honestly had the best experience with Nurtured at Skelmanthorpe since my daughter started in May. They really put me at ease knowing she was looked after while I went back to work after maternity leave. The staff are so lovely and you can tell they genuinely love looking after the children. I always get picture updates to see what she gets up to and how much fun she is having. If I could put her in more days I would as I can see how much they are helping with her development and she loves it!

Overall Experience

We have been attending this nursery since January 2025, we have other family members that have been here and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else! The staff go above and beyond for the children and the parents. My daughter has flourished being here and it's being a huge help going back into work. We use a app so we can keep on track how the children are doing throughout the day and you can contact the staff so easily as well other things, if you want the best start in education for your children I would highly recommend here

Review from Sarah H (Mother of Child) published on 20 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have had the best experience with Nurtured since we moved our daughter there 9 months ago. She has absolutely flourished under their care and looks forward to going every day. The staff are so caring and attentive with her and we receive photo updates every day of what they have all been up to.
The extra curricular offering is a great addition and I'm looking forward to my daughter trying Forest School once she turns two! They also have done little local trips - my daughter loved the visit to the fire station and when lambs from the local farm came into nursery for the day. All the staff go to so much effort with the children and it's wonderful to see.

Thank you Nurtured

Review from Jilly S (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am extremely happy and grateful of the staff at nurtured, they are friendly, knowledgeable, supportive and amazing. When I looked around the nursery it had a lovely, warm and safe atmosphere and I knew I was more than happy for my son to come here. Since my little boy had been at nurtured, he has progressed so much and enjoys going. Not only that, the staff are fantastic and do everything to make your little one happy and comfortable. The communication from the staff is spot on and whenever I ask of my little boy is okay, they will respond and let me know how he's getting on during the day. My son has been referred to physio and the staff at nurtured make sure they do these exercises with him to progress his development. Nurtured have their own chef as well and they always make nice healthy meals which my son loves. Nurtured provides amazing care for little ones and I'm just so glad I chose to put my son into this nursery. I 100% recommend this nursery.

Review from Morgan B (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn't recommend Nurtured at Skelmanthorpe enough, my son began attending here in July 2024 and since then I've noticed the world of difference in him, he's confident and thriving in his development since staff promptly picked up on behaviour challenges that were missed by his previous setting, they were supportive and reassuring throughout the process to myself as a parent. The staff are very enthusiastic and creative and always have a selection of well thought out activities based on children's needs and interests which keep the children engaged in learning and learning fun! The staff have a very nurturing approach to the children and really care about their opinions alongside parents, they really show children's voices matter.

I would never send my child or any future children anywhere else after my experience.

Review from Rachel P (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was very worried about my little boy starting nursery as he would get very upset in new environments and around new people. All of the staff have been very reassuring, sending pictures and updates regularly. He has now formed great bonds with each staff member, who have gone above and beyond for him to help him settle, even buying new toys because he has taken an interest in certain items! Very happy with Nurtured.

Review from Vicky S (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son (almost 2) has been attending here for around a year and we couldn't be happier! They know him inside out which is reflected in the observations we are sent. We get regular updates and photos of his day, and the range of activities they pack in to sessions is amazing!

We also have to mention the food- he clears his plate every meal and snack time and speaking to other parents I know this is representative of other children too.

Thank you so much for taking your time to write such a kind review. We have to agree with you on the food part, I'm glad your little one is enjoying his time here at Nurtured.

My twins joined the baby/toddler room in July.
Since then they have absolutely thrived. We love everything about Nurtured from the staff to the meals to the activities.
The daily updates are brilliant and there are always lots of lovely pictures to see what the girls have been up to.

We can't thank all of the lovely staff enough for helping the girls settle so quickly. They always go to nursery on a morning with smiles on their faces!
