My daughter has been at Stone Eden since July 2025, and the experience has been excellent from the outset. The entire team has played a key role in giving her a fantastic introduction to nursery life. Every member of staff is caring, attentive and clearly passionate about what they do, which provides great reassurance as a parent. She genuinely looks forward to her 2 days each week and is always excited to go.
The facilities are also a real strength. Having direct access to an outdoor area from her room, along with a dedicated play space and even a nearby farm within walking distance, means she benefits from plenty of time outdoors.
Mealtimes have also exceeded expectations. This was a major factor for us when we first visited, and it has certainly lived up to that promise. Fresh, well prepared meals made on site each day using locally sourced ingredients.
I'm very grateful for the care and support they've provided, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery.
Thank you for taking the time to send us this great review!
My nearly 2 year old has been at Stone Eden for coming up 9 months and he loves it. All of the team in Cherries ensured he was given the time to settle in and he gets the care and attention that he needs when he attends. All of the staff and apprentices take the time to get to know him and he feels comfortable to be himself around everyone. The nursery is bright, inviting and really spacious with lots of outside play space too. Highly recommend
Thank you for taking the time to send us this lovely review!
The nursery was a great place for my son and he thrived. Now my daughter is there and nothing is to much for Aimee and the rest of her class. They have wonderful patience and are so so lovable and enduring. My daughter was is a rough and ready Tom boy but still has princess qualities and they also make her smile and thats something you can't be grateful enough about. The management team is professional and communication is second nature to them. They have the same values we as a family hold dear.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review!
It's important to me that our child has a structured approach at nursery and following the early years curriculum Stone Eden achieve this. I can see my daughter developing and she is excited by all the activities that they do on a daily basis.
The food provided is excellent and the meal plan is varied which is important to develop their tastes.
The nursery itself is full of laughter and the staff have a can do attitude so I'm confident it's a good place for my daughter to be.
From a business perspective there is a clear investment plan and facilities are continually evolving with maintenance a priority (replacement outdoor all weather play area recently).
The area is extremely clean and excellent value for money now the government are contributing towards nursery costs.
Thank you for taking the time to give us such a thoughtful review, It's really appreciated!
Cannot express how happy we are with the care our daughter gets at Stone Eden! She clearly loves it and is getting on so well with her milestones. Lovely outdoor spaces. Amazing food made on site, and always extras for the big appetites.
Thank you for this lovely review, its very much appreciated!
Special mention to Dave the chef making fresh healthy meals everyday.
Thank you for this amazing review, I will also pass this on to Dave, we are very lucky to have him making our meals each day!
Brilliant Nursery and staff. So patient when it comes to new babies starting and offering settling in time. Also excellent with older children, offering a range of activities throughout the day. Kept well up to date with the app also. Would highly recommend
Thank you for taking the time to send us this lovely review!
Brilliant staff and very friendly. All the staff make me and my child very welcome every day. They take the time to ask how each of us are every morning and explain what the activities will be that day. I feel very assured my child will have a great day and more importantly is safe. My child has come on leaps and bounds since coming here and we are very proud of their progress. Well done team. Oh and the meals are extraordinary- just wish I ate this well.
Thank you for this great review, we are very lucky to have Dinner Time Dave making our lovely meals!
From the very first day, the team welcomed us with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine passion for early years care. The environment is not only safe and clean, but truly inspiring - full of colour, creativity, and curiosity. My children settled in quicker than I ever expected, which is a testament to the love, patience, and consistency of the staff.
What truly sets this nursery apart is the way they care. It's not just about ticking boxes - the staff really know each child. They celebrate their strengths, nurture their personalities (even my little character) and support them. As a parent, that personal attention means everything.
In short, Stone Eden has created a magical foundation for my children's early years. I can't recommend them highly enough!
All the team care deeply for the children in their care & they know each and every child. They always have time to chat at the end of the day to fill us in, making us (and our son) feel valued and seen. My son always enjoys going knowing he has a fun-filled day ahead, evident by the huge smile on his face at the start and end of his day!
Even though he has only attended for 1 month, my husband & I couldn't be happier with the service provided.
Very accommodating, welcoming nursery. Great staff and good communication. Our young son loves he's days there. Very flexible day-care options. Good location. Good uploads regards child's day. Good staff structure.
Thank you for this great review, it is very much appreciated!
The staff are so friendly and helpful and go above and beyond to help with any advice or concerns with my child and I feel completely at ease leaving them there all day. This is my first child and parenting is new to me and I have found the staff in each room so far so reassuring and kind.
The outside space is perfect for the children and they spend so much of their day outside which I think is really important and my child loves.
The meals are home cooked and fresh daily and always a mix of variety. Over all, just a great nursery and I'm really happy I chose to bring my child here.
Thank you for taking the time to give us this lovely review!
My child has been attending for a year now and I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My little loves all the staff, they provide constant development opportunities through play and learning. They are amazing at keeping us up to date with what is going on. We work shifts which sometimes change last minute and they are always as flexible as possible with us whilst keeping us informed and keeping their numbers at a safe capacity.
Thank you so much for submitting this lovely review for us!
My little girl has attended this nursery for almost a year now. At first I don't think she was keen only starting when she was 11 month old. Now she absolutely loves it. Great outdoor space and facilities. And i have noticed she has taken keen liking to one of her key workers and for my child this is great as she's not really bothered about people. All staff are lovely and if I'm ever unsure in anything there is always someone to message. So glad I went with this nursery.
Thank you for taking the time to submit your lovely review!
Thank you to all of the staff for looking after my child so well. He clearly has a great relationship with you all as he loves going back time after time!
The best nursery so far! I can't believe that my 10-month-old daughter settled into the nursery very quickly and easily without having a problem getting her own place or anything else. The staff are very helpful, friendly and supportive. The facilities and the staff, food, everything just unbelievable beyond our expectations. Thank you Stone Eden Nursery.
My little girl started with Stone Eden a few months ago and it has been the easiest and most welcoming experience. All of the staff go above and beyond and it really does feel like a home from home. A specific mention to the girls in the Cherries room, they really do make both us parents and the children feel at ease. What I enjoy most about the nursery is all of the outdoor play that they get in all weather. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds since starting here. I highly highly recommend it!
My son has been attending Stone Eden since my return to work when he was 9 months old he is now 3 years old and in his last year there and we have got nothing but great things to say about it. The staff have gone above and beyond for our family, making us always feel like nothing is too much of a bother. His development is exceptional for his age and can only put this down to the great care and encouragement he has had from all of the staff. They have been very understanding of our home/work situation and have always accommodated us as best they can to this. The updates and notifications of any change are prompt and if I ever have any queries the lady in the office is easy to speak to to help. The room leads are excellent at sorting things out too so most things go through them. The team as a whole are just fantastic and my son loves all of the team and talks about them constantly. We can't wait for our second child to join us and have the same experiences.
Our little boy has been with Stone Eden for 2 years now. He loves going and always gets excited when pulling into the carpark. The staff are excellent and put so much time and effort into every child. Great all round nursery.
Every room has been amazing the head of each room goes above and beyond and nothing is ever too much. There are many times I've had to switch days due to work reasons and every time they have accommodated me.
I would highly recommend Stone Eden. My eldest went to a different nursery which was good but Stone Eden has been exceptional in terms of development, friendliness and being accommodating in every way.
Thank you for the lovely review, it is really appreciated!
