Review from Sam F (Mother of Child) published on 21 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have used mother goose for three years now. I have had my eldest in the toddler's room and then preschool and she graduated and started primary school in September.
Currently, my three-year-old attends in the toddler's room but will be going up into the preschool room soon, she started in the babies'
room at one so has been in every class. Then my six-month-old will join the baby room!
I honestly cannot recommend mother goose and all their staff highly enough. They are like family to our children and have helped us teach our children everything they need to know. They have helped us navigate our two eldest through a miscarriage before falling pregnant with our youngest.
They go above and beyond anything we could imagine a nursery setting being able to offer. I could keep going on about how much we love this nursery but I will run out of space.
I've given 5 stars but if I could give more I would.

Mother Goose Day Nursery is an exceptional nursery for babies - toddlers. My daughter has learnt so much since attending and is learning new and different skills every day. All the practitioners are so so friendly and kind. I could not recommend this nursery enough to anyone looking into putting their
child / children into daycare.

I would thoroughly recommend Mother Goose Day Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery. The staff are wonderful and friendly and helpful. Our son is a completely different child since attending the nursery. It has brought him on so much and he always can't wait to attend on his chosen days. It makes
him so excited as he enjoys playing there. He has a wonderful relationship with all the ladies in his room. It's great!

The girls that work with the children are excellent. They are always polite and give the children lots of fun and different activities to do each day. The nursery is good at updating us on our child's progress throughout the year.

My daughter enjoys Mother Goose she often walks in and gives the staff a big hug. I feel she must like/trust them in order to do this. The staff are always kind and friendly towards my daughter and me. My daughter's key worker gives a thorough handover on collection at the end of the day and enters
information on the parent app often so that I can see her reviews and goals. I feel this is a fantastic nursery and my daughter has developed so much since starting in 2020. I will be sending my son there in a few months.

My child has settled in really well, she absolutely loves going to nursery and opens her arms wide as soon as she sees the ladies there. It has been excellent for us as parents that they offer more flexible hours too due to my husband's shift pattern.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot fault Mother Goose Day Nursery at all, my 18 month old has only attended for a short time but after all of the covid restrictions he was very shy and hadn't really spent time with anyone other than his immediate family. Staff have, however, gone above and beyond to ensure his settling process
was as smooth and stress-free as possible for us all.
He goes and comes home happy each session and I love that we get to see what the children have been upto with the use of the parent app and daily Facebook updates.
Fantastic setting and would recommend to anyone.

The staff are great. My daughter has been attending nursery from around 7-8 months old. She has come on in her development so well and we definitely have the girls to thank for that. They are all so caring and keep you up to date with everything that goes on. I recommend this nursery to anyone when
I get the chance to. They are just amazing!

My daughter has only recently started nursery and has settled in wonderfully. All the girls are amazing with her and treat her as an individual and know her so well already. I have 100% confidence in them and trust them even when she was unwell. She has learnt/come on so much already. Increasing amount
of confidence each day. Always get feedback from her day. Would 100% recommend.

Lovely home vibe, so clean and friendly. The girls really care about all the children which is evident through the bonds they have with my child. My child gets so excited coming to nursery. 5 stars for all the staff. My only comment for improvement would be a private Facebook page preferred and more
use of tapestry!

My little girl has been attending Mother Goose Day Nursery since she was 9 months old and it was the best thing we could have done for her. She is always learning new things and has developed a greater knowledge during her time at nursery. All of the staff who have been involved in caring for my child
have been amazing and very trustworthy which is the most important thing when leaving your child in their care. The nursery is always improving and I couldn't wish for a better place to send my child knowing she is happy and being well cared for.

My 1 year old attends and has done since November 2020. Having had my son during Covid times he hadn't mixed much so on leaving him here the staff put my son and myself at ease. Nothing is too much trouble. The activities staff do with the babies is second to none, in particular one member of staff
in the babies room who my son has warmed to. I feel at ease knowing he is well looked after and is enjoying every minute there. They are flexible and reliable and have the kids best interests at heart. Upgrading all rooms to maximise learning through play. I could go on.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery has been amazing with us, I have used it for my son who is 8 and now my 17-month-old daughter. My son still remembers nursery and all the fun he had and now my youngest is enjoying her days with all of the staff, learning and growing in a happy and nurturing environment. The staff always
welcome all parents and children with a smile and enthusiasm and have a great rapport with all. The nursery is clean and hygienic and has fantastic Ofsted reviews and has always been my highest recommendation of anywhere to put my nursery age children. We all get regular updates of our children and get to see what a day in the life of the nursery is like, with fun, messy time and lots of laughter I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly.

My 2 year old started nearly 2 months ago. He was crying at first but the staff are very good. always cuddling him and help him calm down. I am very happy with the girls who work there as they always give good suggestions about my child's behaviour as he is still not talking yet.
