Review from Natalie C (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My children have been using Selca Day Nursery for around four years. My eldest went to Llanharan, and my son is now in the sister one. I can honestly say I would recommend the nursery to anyone. Every single member of staff has always been pleasant, enthusiastic and welcoming to our children and us.
I have never once felt anxious leaving the children there and knowing they are in the best hands.

The children have always had fun, and I love the daily pictures/updates. Communication is excellent and feels lucky that the children have such a lovely nursery on our doorstep.

Review from S B (Mother of Child) published on 12 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy is non-verbal and so I was apprehensive about leaving him in a nursery setting. However, the wonderful staff at Selca Day Nursery have made him feel comfortable and adapted ways that work well with my little fella. He absolutely loves one member of staff in particular, and I feel his time with Selca Day Nursery has helped him to be able to settle into a school setting more easily when the time comes. There are daily reports via an app on my phone which usually include photos so I can see what fun he's been up to. I use the free childcare offer but unlike some nurseries, he has meals and snacks included in his day without any extra cost to myself. Overall I would highly recommend Selca Day Nursery to anyone looking for childcare within the Llanharan area.

Overall Experience

My son has attended for 8 years and due to this has attended full days from 8 months old to wrap around, breakfast club and after school club. My 18 month old also now attends. Amazing staff, caring, flexible and understanding. Children are always happy there and are messy coming home which shows how much fun they have had with activities and Learning through play. There have been many improvements over the years which have always had the children at the heart which is exactly how it should be and they have directly benefited the children. I have to mention how outstanding the manager is and has been over the last 8 years, you are an asset to the nursery.

Our child absolutely loves her nursery. She attends mostly breakfast club and wrap around and absolutely loves all the assistants who help, educate and care for her.

We're so pleased that we've chosen Selca for our child. Thank you each and everyone for making this experience so enjoyable for us and our child.

Review from Emma R (Mother of Child) published on 25 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Such a lovely nursery. My little girl has been attending since October 2021 and goes 3 days a week. On the days that she doesn't go she misses it. The staff at Selca are lovely and clearly passionate about what they do. My little girl is in the butterflies class and has come on so much since starting there. I love that they update on an app each day and send individual photos of what she has been doing each day along with a detailed description including what she has been learning, how she's been feeling and what she has eaten. Each month they concentrate on a different topic, which makes the little ones so inquisitive and interested, every time I collect my little girl from Selca she is so excited to tell me about what she has learned that day. Thank you so much for creating such a welcoming, educational environment for my little girl.

Review from J R (Father of Child) published on 23 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our 10-month-old daughter has settled so well into nursery since starting in February! We were worried about her settling as she is very attached to her mum, but within a couple of weeks, she has settled amazingly into the baby room! She loves all the other children in her room and adores the baby room staff! We honestly can’t thank the three staff in the baby room enough for settling her in so well, she doesn’t even look back and cry anymore when being handed over! We love seeing all the pictures that the staff upload of her every day carrying out activities! We have saved every photo from her first session until now in an album for us to look back on! We love how much the staff go above and beyond to make sure she is happy and contented every time she’s in the nursery! We always feel so relaxed dropping her off and know she is having fun! They have also been a great help with her weaning and trying new foods!

Overall Experience
My children love the nursery!
I haven’t actually seen the nursery facilities as children started during Covid, but the photos look lovely!
The app always shows activities, pictures and information.

I have got to know some of the staff members through pick up and drop off but a lot of staff I am still unaware of their names.

Our son has such fun at nursery! There are so many activities, crafts and outings to keep him entertained and to help with his development and learning. The staff are so friendly and enthusiastic, and this has really helped our son to settle in quickly.

We would definitely recommend this nursery.

My children have attended Selca since they were 8-months-old until they started school full time. They now attend their breakfast club, after school club and holiday club and love it and every member of staff that looks after them!

Review from C G (Mother of Child) published on 21 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Since my child started in Selca just after her first birthday, she has flourished! She adores all the staff, and we’ve always been incredibly impressed with the care and facilities in the setting. We’ve never had any concerns whatsoever in the almost 2-years she’s been coming.
The menu is adventurous compared to some of the types of food served to small children in other settings, which we really appreciate as it mirrors what we try and encourage at home in hopes of avoiding having another fussy eater, which so far, seems to be working!

She's just received her school place offer and will be starting in September, and honestly, I feel everyone at Selca has done an amazing job of preparing her for school, particularly through the pandemic in which most of her little life has been lived through. We can’t fault the nursery, facilities or staff. Keep doing what you do!

Overall Experience
The nursery and the staff there are excellent! Always willing to chat about both of my daughters and any progress or issues they are having.
Very supportive with different stages, such as potty training or the transition to school.

The staff are friendly, hard working, and above all, want the best for all the children.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Selca since she was ten months old. She's now three and ready to move onto school in September, but she'll be back for wrap around! She absolutely loves it at nursery. The staff are amazing, activities are fun and educational. They have a lovely little garden, which is used often and a park nearby. Communication with parents is great, the app for reports works well, and it's nice to see photos of her having fun in the nursery.

Overall Experience

Selca Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery. My son started back in March 2017, and my daughter is there now. I have never had any problems with the nursery in all that time. I consider the staff, past and present, as friends and always felt that they really do care for the children. I would highly recommend Selca to anyone looking for childcare.

Overall Experience

Great staff. A fantastic setting for fun and learning. My little girl benefits so much from the time she's spent here. From the understanding shown during the settling in sessions to the daily reports I get sent, I'm always confident my little one is safe, looked after and happy. She gets opportunities to learn about lots of different topics and gets messy too! The food menu is fab with loads of variety and healthy choices. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant nursery. My daughter loves it, and it’s the only thing that works to get her out of bed! Really could not be happier with this nursery. They do so much with the children, and it surprises me every day the amount she is learning through play!

Overall Experience
Our son loves it at nursery. They fit so much into each day with lovely projects week by week. He has learnt so much, I'm always surprised with what he comes out with.
At home, he is a fussy eater but eats everything at nursery, and I like the menu they have for the kids.

I am contacted if he has an accident and feel he's in very safe hands when this has happened.

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.
