Review from M H (Mother of Child) published on 21 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Overall a good nursery, most staff are wonderful so friendly and welcoming. Certain areas of the nursery I would disagree with poor hygiene etc but is a basic nursery. Written targets are always done well and explained thorough which gives a good insight of how your child is developing and socially interacting. Management team is wonderful and all problems dealt with immediately

Review from Erin S (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Took my son from September start to December to fully settle, but usually once he was in he was absolutely fine. And since Xmas 2025 to now may 2026 he absolutely flourishes in there on the 3 days he goes. He's the most social and friendly boy and he has no issues coming into nursery or pick ups.

The staff have always been so accommodating with my son and us as parents when needed. They're all super friendly and attentive couldn't recommend them enough if you're in the area. I know he'll for sure miss this place once he starts school nursery in September coming. I'll also definitely be sending my two younger children once they turn 2 also.

Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I had a really hard time leaving my 1yo daughter at nursery when she started as she was in the midst of separation anxiety having never been away from me and I was just returning to work after 14 months off which is a challenge in itself. There were many tears from both of us during those first weeks and Spring Leam Lane were so very supportive and reassuring with us. The manager is just lovely and always takes the time to check in on her and give me updates. She's in her 6th week now and is settling in a bit more each week, now she knows the staff and has developed relationships with them she has started to have more fun at nursery, which is easing my anxiety as well. I'm thankful for the staff for being patient with us, through our tears and 1000 questions! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, really! :)

On top of this, the toys and activities they do are fantastic and the food menu is so varied, my daughter loves mealtimes at nursery. She is so well cared for. Thank you!

Review from Louise P (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My eldest daughter started in the inventors room and moved into the navigators which she left last year to start big school. My youngest started in October last year in the explorers room. Throughout our time at Spring I have never had any complaints with any of the rooms. Staff are always welcoming and are very good at communicating with you on drop off and pick up even if it gets busy they still have time to tell you how the children have been throughout the day. My eldest still says she misses the nursery and the staff very much.

Overall Experience

Our daughter attends Spring and has done for around a year now. Her development has came on so much since starting there. The staff genuinely care about the children and this is visible whenever we are in the building. They build lovely trusting relationships with the children and parents/carers. Wouldn't send my daughter anywhere else.

Overall Experience

Spring nursery has been absolutely amazing for me and my little girl. I really struggled with child care and didn't know where to start but the staff helped me so much. After a bit of a rough start(tears at drop off and pick up) she is now all settled in and is loving it and they are really good at updating you and reassuring that you little one is ok. honestly can't thank the staff enough.

Overall Experience

I cannot thank spring nursery staff enough for all their help. It took my daughter quite a while to adjust to nursery with her always being with me. Staff worked with me and my daughter with their best interest for us both. They truly went above and beyond. My daughter absolutely loves it now and it's brought her out so much, she's much more confident and her speaking has came along great. I love seeing/ hearing what she's been up to at nursery. Every day is different with so many activities which my daughter thoroughly enjoys! The staff and children are so all lovely. Absolutely fantastic nursery!

My son has attended Spring Nursery since May 2025. He is now 16 months and absolutely loving it. The staff are brilliant and are so accommodating when wanting to book extra sessions. They really do make our family feel welcome and our son thoroughly enjoys his time here. Since starting, his language and speaking has massively progressed and his engagement with others and activities has definitely increased. We are so pleased our son goes to this loving and nurturing nursery. Thank you all!

Review from Jude M (Grandmother of Child) published on 3 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Extremely happy with the facilities and staff at Spring Nursery. When our grand daughter was settling in, staff went above and beyond to accommodate the transition. They were very patient with us all and we felt very comfortable and reassured by them instantly. Our grand daughter has only been there a few weeks but, my goodness how she has come on in leaps and bounds in such a relatively short space of time . I particularly look forward to the updates/observations we receive. They are so accurate as to how she behaves and reacts that's it fills us with such confidence. Highly recommend this nursery

Overall Experience

Spring Nursey Leam Lane is a fantastic Nursery and I have highly recommend it to others. The staff go above and beyond for the children and their families. My little one has been attending for 9months now and he is thriving. He has formed relationships with other children and adults and is always happy and smiling when I arrive to collect him. I can't thank the staff enough for the high standars of care and that warm feeling I have knowing he's happy and safe in their care.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been at spring for 4 months now. I couldn't recommend them enough. All staff have been so polite and welcoming and made my transition back into work after maternity leave stress free.

He is exposed to so many new activities, messy play, new foods as-well as indoor and outdoor play.

Thank you for everything :)

Overall Experience

This nursery has been amazing since my son started attending 6 months ago. All members of staff cater to every need, and ensure that we are happy with every thing that happens. The nursery gives such a warm and welcoming vibe which has really helped my son to settle and love coming to nursery. Would highly recommend if you're a little bit anxious, like I was!

Review from E S (Father of Child) published on 3 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We viewed a number of nurseries before choosing Spring Leam Lane, and none of them compared. From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, welcoming and professional, instantly giving us confidence in our decision. Our daughter has always been quite nervous around strangers but since attending she has come on leaps and bounds. Her confidence has grown so much and it's wonderful to see how happy and settled she is. We love receiving updates through the Famly App and especially enjoy reading the detailed observations from Ruby. It's clear she has taken the time to really get to know our daughter and her notes always capture her personality and progress so beautifully. Every time we drop her off knowing she is in safe hands and we pick her up knowing she's had a fun, nurturing day full of learning and play. The care, patience and encouragement she receives mean the world to us and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Spring Leam Lane to other families.

Review from J H (Mother of Child) published on 8 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended Spring Leam Lane from being 14 months, from Sept 2024 - Aug 2025. He took a little while to get used to the morning handovers but otherwise has loved it, has made lots of little friends and has come along great in his speech and confidence playing with others. All of the staff in Explorers have been great with him, and me, taking lots of time to tell me how his day has been and what he's been up to. And his keyworker has been absolutely fantastic so a special thankyou to her. He's now going into the Navigators room and so far for his settling sessions the morning handovers have been completely tear free, he comes out with a big smile and his new keyworker seems lovely too.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended this nursery for a few years now and with her special needs (autism) I couldn't ask for a better team to help her begin her educational journey and experience through her life among other adults and children. Her experience and mine have been incredible there work and effort has made it possible for her ehcp to be accepted, her confidence to be boosted, her progress to be thriving in her communication and social skills. You couldn't choose a better nursery than Spring Leam Lane.

Overall Experience
My two young boys joined this nursery after an awful experience at a previous nursery. Since joining both boys have loved it here! My Eldest did not talk much he was very delayed in speech and within a few months here he came out of his shell and began speaking in full sentences and now had little to no delay!

All staff are lovely, the app is updated regularly to show about the children's day. My oldest loves to take flowers for his favourite teacher and often asks about staff even while at home! I couldn't fault anything about Spring Nursery!
