My daughter has a great time at Arnhall. The staff are very supportive and have helped with potty training and my daughter becoming a big sister. They are very creative and imaginative in the projects they do with the children.
My daughter started at Arnhall in January and both her and I could not be happier with our choice! The key workers made her feel welcomed and relaxed during her transition and she’s now reluctant to leave at the end of the day! I would definitely recommend Arnhall Nursery.
My child's experience at Arnhall has been excellent. The staff are all warm and pleasant and put the child first. The learning environment is second to none, in particular, the outside environment. Children have a good balance between structure and FreePlay and parents get an excellent level of feedback on a daily basis. The food is varied and healthy and encourages the children to try new things.
Arnhall provides my daughter with a loving safe environment where I know that she is happy to be left. She enjoys her time at the nursery and all of the staff there are outstanding. They treat everyone with care and respect and in my opinion, they provide the best daycare facilities in this area.
I love the nursery's environmental awareness and their belief in outdoor learning.
They're very good at handling my child's allergies and I feel my child is in safe hands. Any issues regarding my child's welfare always seem to be dealt with compassionately and professionally.
Excellent nursery with fantastic staff and great facilities and what is important is that the children not only learn whilst they're there but they also enjoy themselves.
Great nursery. I feel I can trust the staff members with the care of my children. They are approachable and supportive of needs.
The nursery enjoys a variety of activities with the children including a focus on the outdoors which is good to see.
My son has settled in very well into nursery thanks to the excellent service and care of staff. I feel confident in the care provided. His development has come on great since starting. The facilities are excellent and good value for money.
Our daughter has thrived at the nursery. She enjoys the Forrest School and outdoor activities. She has made lots of friends. She enjoys the structure of her day and Nursery will give her a good basis for the transition to school.
My son has been attending Arnhall Nursery for almost a year and a half. In a nutshell, he loves his time there and we (his mum and dad) love how he is developing under the guidance of the nursery team. I would thoroughly recommend Arnhall as a great nursery for anyone's child to attend.
Arnhall is a wonderful nursery, where my daughter is thriving. The environment of the nursery was what first attracted me as it is set in a country estate, and the children spend a huge amount of time outside enjoying their surroundings, learning about nature, seeing wildlife and breathing in clean, fresh air. The staff are great, and my daughter adores them. They are great fun and have a real rapport with the children. They know the children well, and tailor the learning to individuals, working on specific areas with each child. My daughter is a bright, confident, happy wee soul, and a lot of that is down to the care and support she gets at Arnhall.
My little boy has been attending Arnhall since July 2017 and seems very happy here :) The staff were great when he was settling in and really go out of their way to ensure they are happy and content there. They do all sorts of activities and have lots of play outdoors which I think is great. Highly recommend!
This is a great nursery and our daughter loves it. I always feel confident about her safety and wellbeing. It is in a great location and the staff really make the most of the close access to the surrounding woods, which was an important aspect when we choose it.
Our son goes to this nursery and he always has a great time there. They have lots of activities to burn off his toddler energy and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.
My son absolutely loves attending Arnhall twice a week. The staff are fabulous - very caring and they create fun and varied activities all day. We couldn't ask for better for him.
I would recommend this to all parents who are looking for a nursery for their children.
Arnhall is fantastic, our little girl settled really well and loves her time there. We just moved from the bumblebee room to the ladybirds and the care taken with the transition has been really impressive.
The staff genuinely care, not only about the child, but about the parent's preferences eg nap duration, and the staff work together with you.
The nursery location is fantastic and allows the opportunity to go for forest walks and explore outdoors.
There are also some pets which is great especially if you don’t have your own at home!
Arnhall Nursery enables me to go to work with confidence, and the knowledge that my child will be in fantastic care.
My son has settled in extremely well at nursery and loves his time there. He is always very happy/excited to attend and comes home talking about all the things he has done throughout the day. He spends lots of time outside and his interests are taken into account. He has a brilliant relationship with the staff. I have always been impressed with activities/learning opportunities he has. He eats very well at nursery and enjoys the food on offer. We have never doubted our decision for our son to attend Arnhall Nursery and would recommend the nursery to anyone.
Great nursery in a great outdoor setting which the nursery makes most of. Both our children have gone from about 9 months until school. The nursery has been helpful, approachable and supportive at every stage and both our children thrived there.
