Inspirations Nurseries and Forest School Horsforth

Dolphins Day Nursery has been fantastic with both of our sons. I couldn't recommend the nursery and staff enough, they have been absolutely amazing. Our eldest is now at school and youngest has been at Dolphins for just over a year and he loves it!

Great staff and culture within the nursery. Its outdoor space is also really good. Activities change on a daily basis meaning your child is always kept entertained whilst learning.

Excellent communication between staff and parents with a PTA allowing for parent input into the way things are run.

Activities throughout the year which help to add to the mini community feel that Dolphins has created. An all round excellent nursery where you feel that the staff genuinely care and love their jobs.

Through parents evenings and a daily catch-up/handover, every child's individual learning and nurturing are strived for.

My daughter loves going to nursery - is not only well cared for - but also inspired by all the interesting activities and topics they do. I like the fact that all the members of staff know her - they don't just concentrate on their 'key' children.

Good quality, healthy food.

No negatives, just positives. It's a lovely, happy, caring and enjoyable nursery. Great balance of fun and education. Our children have made great friends and always speak positively about Dolphins. Highly recommended.

And lots of outside play.

Highly recommend Dolphins Day Nursery. Staff are so welcoming when we arrive in the morning to drop our granddaughter off. She is currently in the Preschool room and we receive regular updates via Tapestry telling us what she's been up to that day which is lovely to see.

Both my children have attended Dolphins from the age of 8months, my son has now left for school and my daughter is due to leave for school in Sept 17. They have both attended 4 full days a week. Both they and we have been very happy and comfortable with the care provided at Dolphins. The range of activities and opportunities are brilliant and the ethos of getting them outside as much as possible is one we value hugely. My son never seemed to be inside whatever the weather which was brilliant for him.

Staff are exceptionally pleasant and cooperative: nothing appears to be too much trouble. The environment is spotlessly clean and stimulating and my granddaughters have been very happy. The food is healthy and nutritious and the girls have been encouraged to try new flavours.

My daughter has just started in the baby room. The settling in process worked really well for us and the girls have been very friendly and accommodating to my babies needs. They have been flexible with the number of settling in sessions she has had before starting, which has been really beneficial and made the process of leaving her much easier. The gradual build up has helped us both readjust to our new routine. The staff are all friendly and caring and the room is filled with really interesting toys. She loves pulling herself up on and exploring the tunnels of the climbing frame and the messy play activities are really great.

Also the few weekend family days throughout the year are really lovely to be able to come and join in their nursery life!

Staff are extremely engaged and provide a stimulating environment linking my toddler to the wider world. I have selected "good" for outside space- we love the playground and that the nursery is surrounded by green space. I think it would benefit from more astro- turf in the large playground.

Overall I feel confident that Dolphins provides a great environment for my son to be in whilst I am at work.

The nursery looks after and educates my daughter well. I'm happy with the way they approach things and my dugahter enjoys herself at Dolphins. I love the staff and feel happy leaving my daughter with them. I would definitely recommend the nursery and have done!

Great Nursery. Made my son really welcome and give invaluable information on what he has been doing during the day. He really enjoys going and has made big development steps since joining. They have also been really accommodating with my other son even though we decided not to send him in the end.

Thank you Dolphin.

The nursery was recommended to us when we were deciding which nursery to choose for our daughter and we're happy with our choice. The staff are friendly and get to know the parents as well as the children. The children do a wide variety of activities and really enjoy their time at nursery. I would definitely recommend the nursery.

The staff are wonderful and very caring, I always feel like my son is in very good hands. The facilities are good, although a little small outside, they make the most of the space they've got. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Both my children have attended Dolphins, we have been very pleased and I am always happy to leave my children in their care. The staff are very friendly and caring, my children were always very happy to go.

The staff are very caring and he has developed a real bond with these in his room.
