The staff at Building Blocks are lovely and very friendly, the updates given through the App are regular throughout the day and our daughter absolutely loves going in each time. Communication between the staff and us as parents is really good and we are very happy with the service being provided and we feel our daughter is in very safe hands whenever we drop her off. High recommend.
I have seen a massive change in my daughters confidence, speech, social and motor skills since being at the nursery. We both feel honestly feel very lucky to be able to send her to Building Blocks nursery and feel like we're a part of their family and that they genuinely care for her above and beyond it just being a part of their job.
Always keeping us updated through the app and with plenty of photos. My son is very happy at this Nursery and looks forward to it each visit.
My daughter has been attending for over a year and loves to go every week! They have helped her to develop into a happy, strong, caring and smart child. They complete assessments with her and so many wonderful activities that she loves. They take her out on walks and outdoor play. Her walking and talking developed incredibly fast by attending nursery and she loves the diverse meals that they give her. The staff are always supporting us as parents with anything new or that we're unsure of. For example, when we potty trained my daughter, the staff gave us so much support I had no concerns for her in nursery and it helped us to manage at home. I cannot recommend the nursery enough for any child. It is absolutely wonderful and we look forward to sending our unborn son too!
They've created a warm and safe environment, and our daughter is always happy to attend.
Really appreciate all the hard work and support they give. Highly recommend.
They are perfect very friendly and caring, my daughter attended this nursery from September 2025 till now. They are the best with potty training for stubborn children. My daughter enjoys it a lot she learnt a lot of skills and songs. She became a lot independent and more social since she joined this nursery.
We love the Building Blocks nursery- both people & facility. Our little girl has been in each of the rooms from baby to pre-school and enjoyed every one. She has created beautiful bonds with the staff and children. Her development has come on leaps and bounds being there 3 days a week. The nursery are regularly improving the facilities, often you'll see new deliveries of new toys, new furniture etc. The outdoor area has also improved massively with cover from the Welsh Weather. We'll be very sorry for our daughter to have to move on as building blocks have been fab- and would consider them for any future siblings!
I feel like there is a wide range of food offered to the children and our daughter seems to really enjoy the food to. She has real come along in her language and confidence too!
I have put cleanliness as 4 out of 5 because our daughter gets ill a lot since started but I believe this to be the case with every nursery and I know staff try their best to disinfect play areas!
Building Blocks have been excellent with our daughter, she loves all the staff and has settled really well. The facilities are wonderful and our little one always has a lovely day. The app keeps us up to date with her daily routine and the staff are always easy to get hold of for any updates. Highly recommended.
I cannot thank the staff at Building Blocks enough for the wonderful care provided. My son attended for 1 year (Sept 2024-2025) & had an amazing experience. The dedication to learning and growth through structured activities brought him on so much developmentally. Communication was second to none, with regular updates daily. He absolutely floroushed in his time here, and has never eaten so well with the delicious, nutritious meals provided! He built so many lovely relationships in his time at Building Blocks also. In short ~ Building Blocks is the best!
Will definitely be sending our 2nd born to this nursery when I return back to work.
Many thanks Building Blocks!
I highly recommend this nursery. The staff are amazing. They have made my transition back to work so easy with the settle in days and the daily/weekly posts show that she is getting on well. It is good to know that my daughter has settled in really well and is cared for to a high and professional standard. The care that she receives is amazing and she now gets excited when we pull up. The staff have always got a smile on their face and very friendly and approachable.
Both our daughters have attended Building Blocks Nursery for almost 4 years. The staff are so caring and lovely. It's a wonderful nursery and we would recommend them to everyone! We are so pleased to have had such a good start for both our girls because they attended Building Blocks. It really is a lovely setting. We just hope our future nursery/school are just as fab as Building Blocks. We are very thankful to them.
The best nursery ever. My child is progressing every day and loves going to nursery every day. He learns a lot that I can teach him at home. Also, he started to talk thanks to the nursery. They give them a lot of attention and they are doing different activities.
Both of my daughters attended Building Blocks and we couldn't have been happier with the nursery, we often still recommend it to people and kept our youngest there for a year after we stopped working close by because of the supportive environment and how settled she was with the staff and other children. The staff are incredible, dedicated and caring and always attentive to the children's needs. The food was varied and it was always great to hear the different foods the children were eating during the day and the range of activities they engaged with. Couldn't recommend more highly. We miss it now!
I've recommended Building Blocks to others looking for a nursery for their children. My little one often tells me how much she misses the staff there.
My child is a fussy eater, but the nursery managed to get my child to try new things and eat the food they provided, if my child didn’t eat the food they allowed me to provide a packed lunch just in case as a backup.
I would recommend Building Blocks Nursery to anyone who is looking for a nursery for their child. They are amazing. The staff have a lot of patience and are always happy. 10/10 from me to everyone who works at the nursery.
We sent both of our daughters to Building Blocks Nursery, I couldn't fault them at all! From starting as babies and leaving ready and raring to go for preschool, they both thrived here. The team are fantastic and their caring nature carries through all 3 rooms. The communication on their app is great and we loved seeing pictures of the girls doing different activities throughout the week. Thanks for all the happy memories.
The staff are very professional and I am always greeted with a warm welcome. My son would love to go to nursery and I noticed his speech and his overall general learning and behaviour have expanded for the better all due to Building Blocks Nursery.
He is enjoying school and that's all thanks to Building Blocks Nursery, I can't thank them enough for the first start they have given my son, I will be forever grateful.
Although I felt uneasy leaving him at first, I was always reassured and even contacted just to let me know he was okay. The app was a godsend.
We’ve always spoken very highly of this nursery. The team were fantastic over the 2 years our little girl was there. She was always so excited to go. The food was always to a high standard. There were always lots of fun activities going on for every age group which helped our little girl's development. We couldn’t recommend them enough.

Hello, I'm Kaylie, and I've been part of Building Blocks for 18 years. I started as a student during my CACHE Diploma Level 3 in childcare, and after college, I transitioned to full-time work here. Over the years, I've worked in all three rooms, collaborating with supervisors and nursery nurses to ensure the well-being of the children and provide engaging activities.
I achieved my Level 5 in Leadership and Management, leading to my appointment as Nursery Manager in January 2020. In this role, I oversee the day-to-day operations of the nursery, prioritizing the welfare of both the staff and the children. Responsibilities include maintaining updated policies, and procedures, and conducting thorough risk assessments.
My passion for working with children has always driven me, to help them learn and develop their unique personalities. At home, I am a parent of three, happily married for a decade. My life is quite busy, especially with my husband and 9-year-old involved in the drama group, and my youngest, a 7-year-old, progressing in karate from a yellow to an orange belt.
I'm Natalie Watts, 37 years old, residing in Rhondda Cynon Taff, and actively engaged in the field of childcare.
At 17, I completed my secondary education with 7 GCSEs and began my professional journey as an apprentice at Building Blocks. Over the years, I've progressed to the roles of Room Leader and Deputy Manager.
My choice to pursue a career as a Nursery Nurse stems from a passion for aiding children in their growth and development. The nurturing aspect of this profession resonates with me on a personal level.
Seeing those moments of growth and change is incredibly fulfilling, and I'm proud to play a part in making a positive impact as a Nursery Nurse.
On the academic front, I've successfully completed my NVQ Levels 3 and 5 in childcare, underscoring my commitment to continuous professional development.
Outside of work, I value quality time spent with my family, whether it be leisurely beach walks or exploring trampoline parks. Creating lasting memories with loved ones brings me joy.
Describing me? Think compassionate, caring, loyal, and trustworthy. And yes, I'm not afraid to get a little silly!
The kids at the nursery love it, and we always have a blast. Life's too short not to have some fun, right?
Hi, I’m Louise, and I've dedicated nearly 22 years of my career to Building Blocks Nursery. I began right after college, stepping into the role of a nursery nurse. Over the years, my journey led me to the position of room leader in the Baby room. Here, my responsibilities include crafting engaging activities that contribute to the comprehensive development of the infants under my care.
I'm fortunate to collaborate with an exceptional team that ensures a secure environment for the little ones to learn through play.
Caring has always been a fundamental aspect of my nature. Beyond my responsibilities at the nursery, I extend my caregiving to a family member coping with health challenges at home.
Outside of work, I enjoy going on lots of outdoor adventures with my dog to improve my fitness and health. I also love spending time at my caravan in West Wales and socialising with good friends...
Hi! I’m Helen, a Rhondda Valley local bringing over two decades of experience to Building Blocks Nursery. Currently, I serve as the Supervisor of Little Discoverers, overseeing the unique developmental journey of children transitioning from baby to preschool.
My educational journey includes studies at LLwnypia College and the achievement of an NNEB qualification. As a room supervisor, I thrive on collaborating with our dedicated staff, creating an environment of mutual support and growth.
The most rewarding aspect of my role is witnessing each child's individual growth and personality development. I love listening to their stories and gaining insights into their perspectives on the world.
Outside of work, you'll find me immersed in music, enjoying a good read, and enjoying moments with family and friends.
I have been a nursery nurse here at Building Blocks for almost 30 years.
I love my job and enjoy watching the children develop and grow through the stages of their stay. I take great pride in my achievements as a nursery nurse and endeavour to always give the best of my care and knowledge to make every child’s experience with us a happy and fulfilled one.
I have worked at Building Blocks since 2016, where I was able to gain my Level 3 qualification. My role is supporting the team throughout nursery but I am mainly based within the mini explorers room supporting staff and developing and settling babies within the room. I have key children who I work closely with observing their development, filling in development books and building a portfolio of their time within the nursery. Within the room and throughout the nursery we care, keep safe and nurture all children.
I started working for Building Blocks in 2020, I am a qualified Level 3 Nursery Nurse, I also have qualifications in food hygiene, safeguarding and health and safety. I really enjoy working as part of the team and enjoy working with all age groups within the nursery.
