Review from Sarah B (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

What a gem this nursery is. As like most parents we did our research, picked our top three nurseries and visited them before deciding on which one to trust with our one-and-a-half-year-old. This nursery exceeded them all in our opinion, so our boy started in January. On day one, he walked in with a smile and cried only when I came to pick him up as he was having too much fun. The girls are great - he eats lots, has fun and gets his much-needed nap. I mean - what more could we want. Thank you all, especially the Toddlers ladies.

Overall Experience

I can’t thank the nursery enough with how at ease me and my daughter have been made to feel. I was so nervous about how she would react to me leaving her, but seeing how happy she is and how welcome she is in 'babies' makes it such a big relief. Knowing that she’s going to be well looked after, having adventures and lots of cuddles make it so much easier to go to work. We love how impressive the layout of the building is and that our daughter is not only going to be having fun every day but is also going to be learning and having all her needs met. Having visited numerous nurseries, the warmth and friendliness of all the staff at this nursery definitely make it the clear winner and we just knew it was the right fit for us.

Review from Sonia H (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I had initially planned to start my son in the nursery after he turned one but due to a change in my personal circumstances, I had to put him into the nursery at 9 months old. I was anxious about this and looked at a few nurseries and just didn't get when people said you'll know as soon as you find the one, as they all seemed pretty similar. That was until I went to this nursery. I loved everything about it when I was shown around but what sold me was when I was told the older children did visits to a local nursing home to entertain the residents. My son has now been here 6 months and he absolutely loves it. The staff are brilliant. Everyone is so friendly and they were extremely reassuring when he first started and he settled very quickly. He now grins as he's going in and it is lovely to see him recognising all of the staff he spends time with. Their social media and app updates are so nice to receive throughout the day and give a great insight into what he's been up to.

Review from Sarah S (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little boy has been attending this nursery since October 2019 and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Although it took him a while to settle and is still sometimes unsettled at drop off time, the staff are always calming and reassuring, and they all know him (and his likes) so well.
The activities look to be engaging and exciting for the children, and no 2 days are the same for them.
Although I have raised concerns in the past, these have been dealt with very professionally and with great empathy, and really made me feel heard.

We couldn’t find a better nursery for our little boy, and we’re so pleased that we chose this one.

Overall Experience

Very well presented nursery. My child has settled in lovely. Everyone has got to know her and her likes and dislikes. They listen to what she is doing at home and carry on at nursery. We are kept well informed as to where she is at and what she has been doing.

Overall Experience

My daughter is usually very unsettled when we drop her off in the morning. The nursery nurses settle her very well so we are able to leave for work with the reassurance she is OK. The facilities are excellent and our daughter has developed very well since she started nursery. There are lots to explore and the staff are very friendly.

Overall Experience

As a single dad with a newly adopted son, I was always going to be nervous sending him to nursery but little did I know I had nothing to worry about! This nursery has been amazing. The staff are wonderful and always have a smile on their faces and they absolutely love and adore my son. My son has massively developed in all areas including speech, fine motor skills, eating habits and hitting milestones. Communication is great and the management do all they can to help. As a single dad, I often have lots of random questions about raising a child and the staff always answer them. When my son first started nursery, he didn't want to go and would often cry but now he doesn't want to leave the place and I can often be hanging around for an hour while my two-year-old son plays, sings, draws and causes mischief and you know what, it's my favourite time of the day! Seeing my son happy and smiling is the best feeling in the world and this nursery helps makes that happen.

I truly have to say I couldn't pick a better nursery for my daughter. She does nothing but smile and laugh when she is there. The girls that work there are the sweetest. She learns so much each day and loves coming home to tell me all about it.

Overall Experience

Both of our children love going to nursery. Our son has a best friend at nursery and never stops talking about him. All the staff are fantastic and we know the kids are safe and enjoying their time here. Although the outside space is not huge, it is ample space for the kids to enjoy. We both absolutely love the app.

Overall Experience
My son started nursery in October 2018 and soon settled into the nursery. He has made a firm bond with the staff in the baby unit and also the staff in the 'up to twos'.

He loves coming to nursery and it is lovely to see photo's on the nursery's website as well as his daily diary.

I could not recommend this nursery enough.

Within a short space of time, my grandson has settled extremely well. I could barely leave without him kicking and screaming. All the girls at the nursery have been amazing at forming a bond with him. He now enters the nursery excited and happy.

Review from Paulina K (Mother of Child) published on 16 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to the nursery for over two years now. She absolutely loves the nursery and staff! The nursery has played a big role in her character and skills development and she is now a very open loving and caring little person! Every day her development and creativity are supported by singing, painting, messy play and lots of different activities I wouldn’t dare trying at home.

The staff are lovely, listening and cooperating with the parents on whatever you are wanting to achieve. They always have a few minutes to talk to the parents. All our family absolutely loves the nursery and our son who now goes to school loves going back for open days!

Fantastic Nursery! My baby has been there since she was four months and it was the best decision I made. From the first day, I felt she has been looked after properly and with care and reassurances.

Overall Experience

My son joined the nursery in the summer of last year, he was quite a shy little boy at the age of three. Just from the initial visits alone I knew this was the perfect nursery for him, he loved it and still does. His father and I could see more or less straight away he was developing his confidence and we put this down to his time at the nursery. The nursery itself has lots of space and different rooms for our little loved one to play and associate with one another. The staff are all amazing and have been more than accommodating to any changes of time we have requested for our son, we would definitely recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience
The nursery is a safe place where children feel valued.
As a parent, I am confident that both my children are in good hands and enjoy their time spent in the nursery.
I can see them develop and thrive and they are learning various skills through play. They love the staff who treat them with respect and understanding.
The nursery is an outstanding childcare provider. My only regret is that we didn’t send them to the nursery earlier.
Many thanks to all staff, you are exceptional.

And I do not know how they keep the children clean.

Overall Experience

My little girl has attended the nursery for coming up to a year now and I can't praise the staff and establishment enough. My daughter loves going every week and the progress she's made in her development is amazing to see, she continues to thrive. I feel safe in the knowledge that my daughter is being looked after by caring and professional staff. The communication is very good and the management team are easy to talk to and have been accommodating when I've requested extra sessions at short notice due to work commitments. This morning I was happy to witness a member of staff taking safeguarding very seriously and following the correct procedures when a maintenance contractor arrived to do work in the building, it's very reassuring that the children's safety is top priority at the nursery.
