Review from Arman H (Father of Child) published on 17 November 2025 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

New Beginnings Nursery has been absolutely amazing for my son. He has type 1 diabetes, and the whole team were always so caring and careful about his blood sugar and daily needs. Every single member of the staff is kind, supportive, and genuinely loves what they do. We couldn't have asked for a better place for him - we're really grateful for everything they've done.

Review from S A (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2025 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

My daughter currently attends New beginnings and has done since Been one.
The nursery is so homely and a great environment for her offering a home from home surroundings, indoor and outdoor fun always achieved. Arts, crafts, messy play and much more.
Her development and confidence she has gained since been in new beginnings is definitely noticeable in all aspects.
The nursery is clean, the meals she gets are amazing with them been provided by the school next door they are filling & nutritional and she loves them.
The communication from the nursery as a parent is second to non full break down of her day always approachable and so attentive and loving towards our daughter we couldn't ask for any more from them.
The manager is also very approachable and always tries to make sure our requested times are accommodated especially us been shift works this helps so much.

We would recommend new beginnings highly and pretty sure our daughter would too.
