Plas Gogerddan Nursery

Plas Gogerddan has been an absolutely wonderful experience for our two daughters. Our eldest has been at Gogerddan for two years and will soon leave the nursery for school and she has thrived in their care. She loves all of the staff and especially loves forest school adventures, getting messy and muddy and creative and learning about nature. Our youngest started six months ago at 12 months old and from day one has loved every minute! The facilities are top notch, the staff are so engaged and really know and love the children. I recommend this nursery to everyone I meet with children because it has been truly brilliant.

My son has been with them from age 1-4 and they have provided him with warm, thoughtful and stimulating care throughout. Staff are skilled childcare professionals, they communicate well and the nursery is very well organised and the facilities for outdoor and indoor play are great. Finally, there is just a nice feeling around the place, it seems like people enjoy working there and staff always have time to answer a question or just have a chat about the kids.

I have two children within Gogerddan, one in the baby room and one in pre-school. In both, they receive excellent care and fun opportunities for learning and development. Forest experience, nature focussed, celebrating lots of heritages and festivals, encouraged creativity or own work to name a few. Staff are fantastic, as are management, always willing to make time for parents. Food menus are varied, children always come home full and happy. Highly recommend.

I am extremely happy with this nursery. All the staff are amazing. My child is so happy there. They do a wide variety of tasks and the lunches and snacks are great. An all-around excellent nursery.

Gogerddan Childcare has been fantastic since our 6-month-old started there. As someone who has worked with the education sector for 17-years, I believe Gogerddan to be the best nursery within the area. The management, staff and amenities on offer are exceptional! Thank you for providing the best care to our baby.

Gogerddan Childcare cannot be highly recommended enough. My son has had a very happy four years where he has made lasting friendships, laughed, loved and developed. He couldn't wait to get there every morning. As part of his social development, Gogerddan Childcare has enabled him to develop sharing skills and he can build friendships and is confident, especially important as he is an only child. He goes outside every day whatever the weather and has become resilient and outgoing due to this. The use of the woods has been excellent (his favourite place at nursery) and he will sadly miss this at school. In fact, he will not get so much outdoor time at school and will really miss this. The nursery is very expensive for a single parent, but I'm so glad I stretched for him to attend here.

My little girl started in Plas Gogerddan Nursery in March after an extremely good timetable of settling in sessions. She was born a few days before the first lockdown so had not had much social interaction apart from a handful of very close family members so I was worried with how and if she would settle at all. The staff were amazing - so kind and considerate. Attending the nursery has definitely helped my daughter's confidence with learning new things and seeing new people. They participate in a range of different activities and are often outside from the updates we receive which is great. The communication has been very good since she started - regular daily updates and regular emails. Highly recommended!

My daughter has been attending Plas Gogerddan Nursery Gogerddan Childcare Ltd for around six months in the toddler room and she has had such a fantastic time, I couldn't recommend the setting more highly. The staff are caring and lovely, the activities are really varied and the kids spend a great deal of time outside. They have a woodland close by where the children sometimes go to during the week, which is really good. My daughter gets so excited when we turn into the road and is always so pleased to see the staff from her room. Excellent setting, highly recommended!

My daughter LOVES her days here, we both love the fact there is an emphasis on being outdoors, and that there is the associated woodland area. The food provided is great, I couldn't be happier with the nursery. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since she started!

Such a fantastic nursery. The staff are lovely and welcoming and always go the extra mile. Lovely outside area with a lot for children to explore. Our daughter loves it at nursery and always goes in and leaves with a smile on her face.

Wonderful nursery. Friendly staff who my child seems to love. They do varied and interesting activities every day, with plenty of outdoor time in the lovely grounds. Could not rate the nursery higher. Good communication too.

From experience, all staff are very pleasant and not just in the room where your child is, but throughout. I have felt at complete ease leaving my child at the nursery and loved seeing artwork and little cards made by him.

My daughter started in Jan 2019, the only reason she is finishing is that she is going to school. All the staff are great, she only experienced the preschool room but everyone was so lovely and friendly. I felt my daughter was developing in the nursery. I especially loved how much time they spent outside in the forest. I would highly recommend this nursery Gogerddan.

My child (8 months) has a gradual settling in period which was extremely useful in ensuring that she was well settled when she started. All staff have been excellent and nothing is too much trouble. I feel that staff are very caring and my daughter is always clean when we pick her up. Communication (on a daily basis) is excellent and her key worker and all staff have ensured that our daughter follows the routine as we requested. I can't thank the staff enough.

My son has attended this nursery for over three years and there is nothing I can fault. The manager and all the staff are amazing and the setting is lovely next to fields and woodland. I drop him off safe in the knowledge he will be expertly cared for and loved. I only wish he could stay there and hope he's as happy in school as he's been in the nursery.

The staff are simply incredible, so caring, and every single day they go above and beyond for the children. They are also so approachable and friendly to the parents. Nothing is too much trouble. The managers are a perfect mix of really lovely and very efficient! My son is SO happy and I know he is being wonderfully looked after. The range of activities is fantastic, and the nursery has lots and lots of outdoor space - the nature garden is a favourite at the moment! Nature walks and the forest school for the older children. The food is excellent, great variety. Ultimately, Gogerddan feels like family.

I would recommend Plas Gogerddan Nursery without hesitation or reservation. Fantastic, friendly staff, who are always prepared to go the "extra mile". The managerial set-up is a model of professionalism and efficiency. My 2-year-old loves the place and enjoys a wide range of activities, including access to wonderful surrounding forest and countryside. A wonderful nursery.

Such a fabulous, dedicated team. Thank you.

My older son goes to their holiday club which is equally well planned and a great experience every time.

I hardly know where to begin to describe how good Plas Gogerddan Nursery is! Perhaps best to say that every member of staff regularly goes above and beyond to create the best possible environment for children to grow and flourish, from the wonderful bond they create with the children, to the wide variety of fun resources and activities made available to help them learn, and the amazing facilities, in particular their brilliant outdoor space and the wonderful woodland area. More than working to maintain these excellent standards, staff are always thinking of ways to improve and develop facilities and practices, and the communication with parents on all of this is superb.
