Overall Experience

A home from home! Any troubles we have in regards to pre-school or nursery, the team are happy to listen and help. Amazing team. Great environment. We have been at the nursery for nearly 4-years and have not just seen the kids grow, but the staff has also grown and become apart of our lives. Thank you!

Overall Experience

They have been so professional and kind in welcoming our little son, who just started in January 2021. They clearly take great care of the children, and the children’s well being is clearly their number one priority. I was pleasantly surprised how seriously they take educational attainment and developmental milestones of our son, with regular updates on how he is doing using the app.

Review from Rosie K (Mother of Child) published on 1 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When looking around nurseries when my son was a few months old, I was sure that no nursery would be good enough. Until we arrived at Safehands. We were greeted so warmly, given a thorough and professional tour, and all our questions and concerns were answered. Nearly three years later, we are still over the moon with the care that he receives at Safehands. As he has moved through every room, from ‘Babies’ to ‘Pre-School’, he was been looked after by the enthusiastic and professional staff, engaged with amazing activities and learnt so much. He struggled to settle in at first, but the staff were so caring and patient with him. Now he wakes up every morning and asks if he can go to pre-school.
The manager has done a fantastic job of creating a warm and welcoming environment to be finding an amazing team. She is always on hand to answer questions, and communication with home is excellent.

They’ve been so great at accommodating our son’s vegetarian diet too - I’m always jealous!

Overall Experience

Safehands is a fantastic nursery. Having viewed most of the nurseries in the area, Safehands always stood out in the crowd. The staff have supported and guided both my children and my family through many tough moments. The staff go way beyond to help in every possible way. I thoroughly recommend it.

Overall Experience

I can't recommend Safehands enough! From the minute my little boy started in September 2020 (aged 7 months), they have done everything possible to go above and beyond in making sure he settled into nursery life. Giving me the reassurance I needed. I've always felt I could speak to the staff and raise any issues/concerns if I had any (not that I have). At Safehands, I know my little boy's health, safety, wellbeing and development is their number one priority.

Safehands is a great nursery. The staff all really take the time to get to know your child. It is like a home from home, and both of my children have loved going and thrived here as a result. We also love the weekly reviews with pictures, and the children's grandparents enjoy seeing these as well.

Review from Will R (Father of Child) published on 15 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Safehands is a wonderful nursery, and we have had a very positive experience - I can't rate it highly enough. Our daughter started in the baby room and has since graduated to the walker's room. She is very well cared for and greeted with a smile and a cuddle each morning. Our daughter has made a connection with all of the staff, a testament to their personal and caring approach. They are very informative when I collect her, telling me all about her day, and it's clear our little girl is very settled and happy.

Review from Elizabeth N (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Safehands is a fantastic nursery. Both of my children have attended from 10-months, and my eldest is bowing nearing the end of her time in preschool. Throughout the last 3-years; they have been phenomenal with the care of my children and their development throughout the stages has been second to none. They managed the testing times of the last year with amazing service. The communication is super. Really couldn’t recommend this setting more.

Overall Experience

The manager and her team are fantastic. They do everything to make the children’s environment diverse and engaging whilst being totally supportive and caring through these fundamental years. We had numerous personal recommendations for Safehands, and though we did look at other nurseries for our son, none had the same level of warmth and affection that makes it feel like a home from home. Our son enjoys every day at nursery, and we are so grateful to his key workers who give him such exceptional care and continue to keep us updated with his development.

Overall Experience

I can't rate Safehands highly enough. My little boy has attended since he was one and, from the off, I had absolutely no doubt that he would be happy there.

The staff are second to none; caring, nurturing, friendly and always professional with big smiles on their faces. You can really tell that the staff love their job and genuinely care for the children. The activities for children are really fun, creative, with key learning objectives in mind, and there is a great balance between outdoor and indoor play; the outdoor play areas are fantastic! The meal plan is healthy with a brilliant variety of dishes from all over the world!

The nursery itself has a real home from home feel, is always clean and bursting with wonderful toys, crafts and books!

The manager is superb; always professional, friendly and has been super responsive and helpful in relation to any queries that I have had. In short, I couldn't be happier with my son's childcare setting and, evidently, neither could he!

Review from Natalie J (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of my children have attended Safehands since they were 13-months-old. One is now at school, and my youngest is in the pre-school room, so we've attended since 2016. I have nothing but good things to say about the nursery. Both of my children have been extremely happy there and have thrived. Both settled well, and any transition into the nursery or between rooms is handled really well.
The management of the nursery is excellent, and all of the staff members are amazing. I feel super confident leaving my children there knowing they are very well cared for. The staff know all of the children, irrespective of what room they're in and you can tell how much the kids love them all. I really trust the manager's recruitment judgement when new team members are needed.
The outside space for the older children is amazing, and they love to be outside each day for as long as possible.

It will be a sad day when my youngest has to leave to go to school!

Lovely staff, she has progressed leaps and bounds. Real attention to detail on progressing her social and speaking skills. Cannot recommend more highly enough.

They also have a wonderful outdoor space for the kids to explore within.

Overall Experience

We can't recommend Safehands highly enough - it's a wonderful nursery. Our daughter started attending in July 2020 (at 10-months) and absolutely loves it! She beams as we walk to the front door every day and has formed a lovely bond with the staff. The staff are what make the nursery really special - they are incredibly kind and caring, and it really does feel like a home from home. Lots of outdoor play and fun activities, crafts and messy play, plus the range of meals and quality of food is excellent (she eats better than us!). The manager and her team are really fantastic and go above and beyond. I couldn't imagine leaving my daughter anywhere else!

The whole team at Safehands are amazing. They plan lovely activities for the children, and my little one is always excited to be going in. It’s great that the chef interacts with the kids as it means they have a really healthy relationship with food.

My little boy has been at Safehands since he was around 9-months-old, now 3, and there's not been a day he hasn't absolutely loved it. The staff are wonderful, and it has the loveliest homely feel that gives you complete peace of mind that your little one is safe and happy. I can't rate Safehands highly enough!

Review from Bijal U (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As we moved to the UK just recently, and very new to the area (visited London many times but North Yorkshire is the first time) I was a bit hesitant to send my son to any nurseries keeping in mind the current pandemic.
But when I did the tour of Safehands, it was immediate relief and the good vibes when there.
My son has settled so well, and I can see the difference in his attitude after being at home for 10-months (beginning of the pandemic).

Thanks to all the support from each and every staff.
