Review from Emmanuella M (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son had horrible experience with nurseries and this was our 3rd nursery to try. It was the last stoppp!!! My son absolutely loved his first settling session. He didn't want to leave. The teachers and management are so friendly and supportive. They update you during the day of what the kids doing, what they ate and the adventures they got up to. They even helped my son prepare for becoming an older brother. I could shout from the rooftops how amazing Darlington College Childcare Centre. I want to say a very big thank you. My second son will be starting next year too.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Darlington College Childcare Centre for a year now and we could not be happier. The care she has received every day has been exemplary - from the patience they have shown her whilst she settled in, to the vast range of activities done each day, to the frequent updates through the day on the App, to the opportunities for parents to come in for themed sessions. The setting itself is outstanding, the space both inside and outside, the range of toys, equipment and facilities. The communication from all staff is excellent and we feel completely reassured knowing our daughter is receiving the best care. We would highly recommend Darlington College Childcare Centre.

Review from Susan S (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has just started here last week and honestly I cannot praise them enough. For him to have been attending for such a short time, the staff already know him so well and take the time, care and attention to ensure both the child and parents are happy. Our little boy got really upset when we first started handing him over, which obviously was emotional for us as his parents too, and management and staff took their time to make sure we were okay and keep us updated throughout the day. Our son is already coming on so much. Definitely recommend.

Review from Fiona T (Mother of Child) published on 3 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My children have attended the Childcare Centre at Darlington College for almost 3 years and the experience, social skills, communication, language and education they have learned and developed is fantastic. My children thrive at this nursery and I can confidently say that they are, and will, be school ready by the time they leave. They have the skills to do well, educationally and socially, because of the management and staff at this setting.

The staff are dedicated, professional and passionate about each child. They are attentive to every child and parents needs, including supporting us when expecting our second child by helping our first child understand and prepare to become an older sibling. They have also helped our family adapt to nursery life when I returned to work from maternity. We, as a family feel very lucky that our children attend this nursery and I highly recommend the Childcare Centre to all parents and carers.
