Great to be back into the garden to see how the garden has been transformed and how the children love playing. Great staff, make such a lot of effort during difficult times. Highly recommend to anyone.

We had a lovely time at the family day at the nursery today. It was lovely to see where my son plays and hear what he enjoys at nursery.

Overall Experience

My son was extremely shy and very clingy when he started this nursery, however since attending he has developed so much with his confidence and speech. In the space of a year he has achieved so much and its all down to the staff. When I collect my son he is full of smiles, which makes me feel so happy and I feel safe that he is in a place that he fully enjoys! I am so grateful for the staff in this nursery for all the support they have provided to me and to my son, they are the nicest bunch of girls! The staff are very efficient and my son adores them! I could not recommend a nursery more. Thank you for everything and keep up the amazing work you all do.

Overall Experience
My daughter moved here after 3 years at another nursery. We were very worried that she would struggle with the change, the staff at the nursery have been very helpful in her transition. They have taken time to learn about mu daughter - her likes, dislikes and general life.

My daughter loves the outside space and talks lots about her friends (which includes the staff).

Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 1.5 years old. He is now enjoying and thriving from the activities and care he receives from the staff there. His key worker is particularly supportive and communicates regularly with me so I'm always in the loop about how he is doing. She has helped me with his potty training and fussy eating. I couldn't be more happy with the customer service I receive from the nursery.

Review from Lindsey O (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son loves coming to nursery. He’s almost 4 and has attended since he was 18 months old. The staff have been nothing short of fantastic, so warm and caring. They have supported us with really big milestones like potty training and they have been outstanding in all other aspects of his development. The reports provided at the end of each term are really thorough and guide us to help shape his learning and development at home too. The updates on the app are great to keep up with what he’s had to eat and what activities he’s been doing during the day. We have been really impressed with the risk assessments and controls put in place during COVID-19. The nursery has shared these openly with parents to reassure us that infection prevention and control measures are firmly in place. They shared lots of materials during the National lockdown to help to keep us busy and support learning at home too. This is an outstanding nursery, I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Review from Claire H (Mother of Child) published on 2 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My one-year-old son loves nursery! His face lights up when I drop him off each morning, and he starts laughing as I pass him over to the girls at the door. He’s definitely in safe hands with the lovely staff, and clearly knows that he’s in for a day of fun with friends.
The staff know him so well (especially one staff member), even though he’s only been there for 6 weeks. I was so upset to leave him for the first time and wondered how he would cope, especially as a lot of his life has been lived in lockdown and he’d had little to no interaction with strangers. I needn’t have worried! The girls put lots of photos and information on the app to reassure me, and I could see that he was really enjoying himself. I love checking his updates on the app to see what he’s been up to and how much he’s eaten/slept etc.

So pleased we chose this nursery.

Review from Katie C (Mother of Child) published on 26 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We got a good feeling about the nursery as soon as we walked in the door. Our little girl has been going since she was one for the last few months and absolutely loves it - the staff are all so friendly and loving, plus we feel completely happy and reassured with how they're dealing with COVID. The different activities and stimulation she gets from the nursery have really helped our little girl grow into a confident toddler. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

This is a fantastic nursery. I am able to keep updated with my little boys' development and his daily activities. The staff all seem very supportive of his development and always seem very engaging when speaking to me. His progress with his skills and communication have grown so much since he started here.

Overall Experience

Absolutely fantastic. The girls who look after our baby go above and beyond, nothing is ever too much, and all of the staff are always happy to help. An extremely warm welcome every time you visit and an excellent reassuring approach to our baby’s return post lockdown. Health and hygiene are top-notch, love and care are given effortlessly, and this really is an exciting nurturing trusted settled safe fun, home from home. Highly recommend this nursery to all and thank you to the lovely team for taking such good care of our precious baby girl.

Review from Nicole S (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Picking this nursery for our daughter's care was one of the greatest decisions we ever made. She has been there since she was around 10/11 months old (she's now 3) and we will be heartbroken when she has to leave next year. Every single member of staff we have come across are happy, friendly, welcoming and take such pride in their role within the nursery and you can tell they have genuine care and connections with the children. The meals provided are fantastic (she eats better than me some days) and they sometimes even ask for parents' input on menu ideas which I think is fantastic. Communication between staff and parents is amazing and we have never had a single worry about our child being away from us. Our daughter is a chatty, friendly, headstrong little girl who is very in touch with her feelings and wants and knows how to express them properly and I feel the nursery are a massive factor of how she is as a person.

Review from Lisa M (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been going here since he was 6 months old and is now 2 and he absolutely loves it and the staff there.
The staff are fantastic and amazing with him, he runs in every day with a huge smile on his face. They go over and above in looking after him and he has learnt so much.
There is a real family/personal feel about this nursery and it's a lot less corporate than some others we viewed.

I couldn't recommend this place enough and if I have a second baby we will be sending them here.

Overall Experience

This is a friendly and welcoming nursery which worked around my son's needs and also myself with my working hours. My son still has separation 'cries' which the staff come to be approachable and always comfort to leave having updates is very comforting knowing what they have been up to. I am happy and feel settled that my son comes to this nursery compared to a previous nursery.
