We couldn't be happier with the care and support our daughter has received at this nursery. The staff are genuinely kind, attentive, and passionate about creating a safe and nurturing environment.
A special thank you to Sarah and Abby, who have both been absolutely amazing. Their patience and dedication have made such a positive difference to our little ones development. It's clear they truly care about every child individually and that level of attention means a lot to us as parents.
We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive place for their child.
Thanks all!
She always asks to go, which says everything about how happy and comfortable she feels there. The staff are so caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children, and the environment is warm, welcoming, and fun.
I feel completely at ease whilst she is there with the updates they provide through the app, I am able to see what she's ate and how she has ate of it, nappy changes and photo updates all through the day.
My son recently joined the nursery in January and has come on leaps and bounds already. He loves being there and I always hear how much he's enjoyed his day at the nursery at pickup. The staff have a high level of care and attention to detail which is amazing to see, as well as showing real support for every child I see enter the doors. I can't wait to see what awaits for my child's progress as he continues to settle in and make friends.
Our daughter started with Selca back in November when she was nine months old and has been thriving there.
As a first time Mum, I felt totally overwhelmed but the team at Selca Llanharan are absolutely brilliant and our daughter settled into the nursery setting super quickly.
Their regular updates via the app helped ease the stress of going back to work in the early days - it still makes my day seeing how much fun she's having through the photos shared.
It's clear to see how much they care through the effort that's put in. Whether that's organising fun activities, putting together seasonal menus or giving informative updates of your child's day at pick up time.
We truly couldn't be happier, thank you so much Selca Llanharan!
My daughter is 9 months old and has just started in the nursery. The staff have been very welcoming and friendly, and updates through the app in the day has really eased my anxiety as a first time parent. Excited to see how much further my child develops in this setting.
My son has been at Selca 5 days a week full days for nearly 2 years now and has grown leaps and bounds! He absolutely loves the staff there and his classmates and is very sociable and sweet with everyone. His speech is brilliant thanks to the staff and he's always learning something new every week that he tells me about. His confidence has grown so much too. He has a blast with the crafts and loves the food there, where he always has seconds! The app is brilliant and I'm always checking it daily on what he's been up to, liking pics of him and his activities, seeing how long he's napped , how much he has eaten etc. I love hearing about how his day has gone when I pick him up and also find comfort knowing he's well looked after. It's brill to see him enjoying every moment! It's well worth the money in my eyes. It would be great to have more day trips out for him to experience new environments with his friends- would be my only suggestion. Thanks so much ladies! :)
Selca Llanharan is a fantastic nursery. My little boy has thrived in the environment, and absolutely adores each member of staff. Since he joined over a year ago, his confidence, speech and social skills have improved so much and it's a real relief to know how well looked after he is. As a working mum, it's so hard to know what is the right thing for your babies, and without a doubt Selca is absolutely the right thing for us!
The app is used and the staff update this regularly so you can check throughout the day. I absolutely love this as I can see how much my food monster is eating! I cannot fault this setting, every child is supported, loved and looked after and I will be gutted when my son has to leave to go mainstream nursery.
Finally, the pricing for the effort and engagement put in by the staff is by far the best out there! I'm aware that in the local area some other settings are more expensive, but this should not put other parents off when it comes to Selca Llanharan. All staff (especially Sarah and Abby, Emma and Millie) should be so proud of of the care and effort they put in!
Thank you all for what you do for us!
Very pleased with her nursery
We were pretty sure we wanted our little one to go to Selca and our visit when I was pregnant only confirmed that. It's such a lovely setting and the staff do an incredible job of looking after the children. My little one has settled in so well and I can see how comfortable he is with the staff. I absolutely love getting updates throughout the day via the app. The range of food served is fantastic too, my little one gets so much variety. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Selca to anybody looking for a nursery for their little one.
As a first time parent returning to work, I was so worried at the thought of leaving my child at nursery. Since being there, his development and confidence has come on so much. He can't wait to get there every day and I can drop him off knowing that he's safe, happy and adored by all the staff at Llanharan.
My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. Even on weekends she wants to go! She talks very highly of the staff there and always comes back happy. I love the regular photo updates throughout the day. My daughter has been to 2 nurseries prior to this due to house moves and she has been most settled in this one and it has definitely been the most informative about what she has got up to and eaten that day which I really appreciate.
This nursery is absolutely wonderful! They have developed my daughter's skills no end. I love that they have specific age groups that the children are placed in but also combine the children for activities such as mealtimes. This has also my daughter to develop the skills specific to her age group but also has improved skills such as cutlery use and sitting well for meal times. The nursery have been very accommodating when we've needed support around sleep needs. They are extremely supportive and flexible. My only negative comment would be that sometimes they don't update the app (although this isn't a regular comment). They send lovely photos and a big shout out to one staff member in particular who always gives big updates on our daughter's day and has shared specific skill information on the app too! The whole team are friendly and fantastic with my daughter and you can tell they take the time to build a bond with her whether they're assigned to her group or not!
Our child has shown significant development both socially and emotionally since starting, and it's been lovely to see them excited to attend each day. Activities are thoughtfully planned and cater to a range of interests and abilities. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with age-appropriate resources.
We've been especially impressed by the staff's genuine care and attentiveness. They take the time to understand each child's needs and create a warm and safe space for learning and play.
Overall, we highly recommend this nursery to other families looking for a supportive, stimulating early years environment.
Having my daughter potty trained well before she was 2 is all thanks to the team at Selca for taking that extra step.
I would definitely recommend Selca - Llanharan
The staff are so invested in their work and share a lot of the CPD they do to showcase their commitment to doing the best for our children.
The food is varied, well portioned and yet balanced. I believe they even get some veg from the allotment nextdoor. Their activities look fun, messy, educational and age appropriate. Our son often comes back with glitter or paint on his tops, which I always see as a good thing.
They are also very flexible, which I think is rare to find. We've often found ourselves needed unexpected childcare and they've always been able to help, which has been a huge relief.
I also think they apply a good amount of common sense when it comes to inevitable child illness, without risking the health of others in the setting.
All in all, I love that our son gets to call Selca a home from home. Thank you for all you do Selca Llanharan!
My son has been attending Selca (Llanharan and Bridgend Road) for 2 years now. He loves it. We've never had any problems and the staff have always been lovely and very helpful. 2nd child will also be attending Selca. I would defiantley recommend.
I am so grateful to have my children in this nursery- they go in happy and leave happy!
Everything is logged on an app so it is so easy to access and see how your children are getting on.
Thank you.
Amazing experience in Selcaday nursery. Have been using for 3 years (2 kids). Brilliant feedback from selcaday nursery and aftershool club/holiday club. I always feel confident dropping our child off, knowing they are in safe and capable hands. Highly recommended!

Meet the Team (2)
Hello, I am Millie and I am the Nursery Manager at Selca Day Nursery – Llanharan. I lead a fantastic team at Llanharan, in which we provide and offer a home-from-home environment for all children in our care.
I am a passionate Manager and thrive to support my team with their development and the quality care they provide for the children. I joined Selca in 2018 as a Nursery Apprentice where I have since completed my Level 2 and my Level 3 in childcare. I have worked in several roles within my setting. Firstly the Baby Room Leader to many children who are now thriving in big school, I have overseen the wider setting working as a Team Leader and now, the Nursery Manager. I have since completed my Level 3 in Play Work and am currently undergoing my Level 4 in Leadership and Management.
I am proud of the exciting and safe environment we create for the children and am passionate about leading and supporting my team to provide the best development and childcare for our children.
Please get in touch and arrange a visit to my lovely setting where I will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
Hello, I am Emma
I joined SELCA in 2022 and have loved every step of my journey, working my way up to Deputy Manager. I truly enjoy working in a nursery because I get to support children as they learn, explore, and grow every day. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing their little achievements and happy smiles.
As Deputy Manager, I work alongside Millie to support the team, oversee daily routines, and ensure the nursery is a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child. I love being part of a team that values creativity, care, and development as much as I do.
