Review from Lynsey M (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 14 months old, and as this is my first experience with a nursery so I was unsure what to expect. The carefully planned taster sessions introduced us both sensitively to what was a big change to our lives and now a year on my little one is positively excited to attend, she even gets excited when we drive past on non-nursery days!

She benefits from the wide range of activities available at the nursery and is able to develop friendships with the staff and fellow children alike. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Overall Experience

One particular nurse from Westerhope Village is amazing, my eldest son used to attend. I felt very settled with her and my son really liked her. Now my youngest son attends and again, I feel settled when she is looking after him.

My son has had the summer holidays off and was very unsettled when going back, but all the staff have worked so well with him and he is now looking forward to going each week.

Review from Pam R (Mother of Child) published on 26 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My daughter went to this nursery from October 2015 to July 2016, she has downs syndrome and the nursery has made an amazing impact on her. Within the 4 weeks she could sit at the table and eat her lunch without throwing it on the floor, she had a superb routine and relationship with all the staff who worked with her.

I can't thank them enough and I have recommended it to all friends and colleagues who have been looking for a placement for their children!!! My daughter has come a long way with her early years learning care and consideration by staff, management were friendly and always approachable. So top marks to them for everything.

Review from Claire F (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son has transitioned from room 1 to room 2 and I found that the staff really helped to make this move simple. My son always seems happy at nursery and I feel like the staff are more like a family and are very caring towards my son and care about his development and wellbeing.

Review from Faye G (Mother of Child) published on 21 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

As soon as my son started the staff were very helpful. They were willing to follow my way of doing things which made me feel more comfortable. They now know his ways and he has settled in well. They are always willing to answer any questions I have and he seems to do a lot of different things in the time he is there which I am informed about when I collect him. Every time I have rung with any queries the staff make sure my questions are answered.

Review from J H (Mother of Child) published on 22 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Excellent care and support, for both myself and my daughter. It's great to offer facilities like holiday club which I will use once my daughter leaves to go to nursery. The staff are an asset to this nursery, I put my trust in them and feel confident and reassured that my daughter is being looked after but at the same time she's safe! Sometimes it's not the cost however it's worth every penny to me. My daughter is blossoming, well done and a huge thank you. Keep up the good work.

Review from Abby (Mother of Child) published on 21 December 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended nursery for three years since she was 10 months old and it has exceeded my expectations. I was comforted in the early days to know my child was being cared for by friendly, caring and nurturing staff and this has continued as she moves from room to room. I have no doubt that attending nursery has encouraged and improved her development , especially as she is now a pre-schooler. I will shortly be sending my second child to this nursery and have no qualms in doing so.
