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.
Thank you for your lovely review. We always try our best to make sure parents feel reassured and up to date with their childs progress and our communications app is a perfect way to do this. I'm sure the team will love reading your feedback.
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.
Today I received 3 or 4 updates - I have friends in another local nursery who receive 1 every 3-4 weeks!
Thank you so much xx
Thank you for taking your time to write such a lovely review. We appreciate your feedback and I'm sure the team will enjoy reading your review.
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!
Thank you for taking your time to write this lovely review. We are pleased you feel this way.
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.
Thank you so much for taking your time to leave such a lovely review for us! We always make it our mission to get to know each individual child and help them settle as much as possible. We are so happy you feel this way.
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!
Thank you so much for taking your time to write such a lovely review. We appreciate your feedback and will always try our best to support parents with whatever they need.
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!
Thank you for your lovely review and we are so happy you feel this way. We are glad you feel supported by our team and they will be pleased to read your kind words.
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!
Thank you for taking your time to write such a lovely review. We really appreciate your feedback!
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
Thank you for your lovely words, we are so pleased you feel this way. The team will appreciate your kind words.
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
Thank you for your kind words, our team will really appreciate your feedback. We love providing different experiences such as trips out and extra curricular, its great to hear you are looking forward to forest school!
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.
Thank you for taking your time to write such a lovely review. We are happy to hear how much your little one enjoys his time with us.
I would never send my child or any future children anywhere else after my experience.
Thank you so much for taking your time to write this lovely review. One of our main aims is for children to feel listened to and heard. We are pleased you feel this way.
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.
Thank you for your lovely words. We are pleased your little one has settled so well and is forming great bonds with our team.
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.
She loves spending time at nursery and she is coming on leaps and bounds after her sessions
The extra curricular is amazing for the different ages groups and I couldn't be more happier
Thank you for your lovely review. We appreciate your feedback & will share this with the team. We are so pleased to hear that your little one is having a wonderful experience with us.
All the team are friendly and my daughter loved going to nursery. She only left because she was going to school. The nursery did plenty of activities to keep her occupied and she throughly enjoyed the trips she went on.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We always try to provide the best trips and activities for the children. We are so glad you chose us for your childcare and enjoyed your experience with us.
The manager and her team are just amazing! The whole team are all so dedicated and always have excellent activities, themes and little trips happening as well as amazing extra curricular activities to choose too. The team always know how to bring the best out of my child and really give her opportunities to explore and develop. Can't thank you all enough!
Thank you for taking your time to write us this lovely review, our team will be so happy you feel this way. We will always do our best to provide each child with as many opportunities as possible.
It's really helped their confidence and social skills.
All the staff are amazing and couldn't recommend it enough.
Keep up the good work guys.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It's fantastic you feel your children have benefitted so much from attending the setting and that your little ones have enjoyed it so much.
My daughter loves it here. She is cared for, supported and seen. When we had concerns, her key worker and other members of staff observed, monitored and reported back to us. We are so happy with Nurtured @ Skelmanthorpe and the staff there. They are very experienced and it shows.
Thank you for your review, we are please you feel this way.
The outdoor space is safe and has lots for the children to do. Also, the inside space is amazing for the children with the sensory and many more for them to play with during the days.
Thank you for your feedback. The sensory room is our favourite too! We are so pleased you feel this way.
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!
Thank you for your feedback. Parent partnerships are important to us and we are so glad you love the updates!
