Thrive Banchory Riverview

Lovely warm and caring staff. My daughter is very happy there. Lots of different opportunities for play and learning.

Great nursery, very friendly staff and child centred. My daughter has been attending for 2 years and has established such good relationships with staff. Staff are very welcoming and attuned to my daughter's needs/ especially in her first year as she had a number of allergies. I Readily recommended Celtic cross to family and friends

Could not be happier with the care and support from Celtic Cross. For a mother struggling to leave her 10-month-old daughter with even family it was a serious worry when I had to return to work, but the staff at Celtic Cross completely put my mind at total rest. They look after my daughter as if she was their own and she absolutely loves the day to day routine and activities they give her. She feels at ease with the lovely staff and they have helped and supported her through so many stages. She is now 3 and looks forward to going to the nursery! Highly recommend!

We have used Celtic Cross Nursery for both of our children over the last 5 years. We have always been very happy with the nursery and the care our children receive. The staff are very caring and provide a great range of activities to stimulate, involve and engage the children. Both my children have been initially difficult to settle at nursery and have had various relapses though their time attending but this is always dealt with care and compassion from the staff. The nursery makes good use of their outdoor areas and the children really like being able to access both the 'new' playground and the bark area. I would highly recommend this nursery, it was the only nursery having visited several that I felt able to leave my children at to return to work.

My son has been attending Celtic Cross for three years now, and he absolutely loves it. The staff are all so friendly and supportive. There is a nice variety of activities for the children, and I love that they get to be outside as much as the weather permits.

My daughter loves coming to nursery! The staff are super friendly and welcoming and make her time away from home very enjoyable.

An excellent nursery with friendly and caring staff, excellent nutrition and a range of great activities. Highly recommended.

I am very happy with how my 2-year-old daughter has settled into the nursery. She started when she was 18 months old and attends the nursery full time. All the staff know my husband and I on a first name basis and we are very pleased with the care our daughter receives.

Awesome nursery. Friendly, sensible and children thrive here. Staff look after the children like you would yourself. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Wonderful helpful staff. Don’t have any complaints.

The only recommendation I could suggest for the company for future development is upgrading inside and out and expansion of building for extra classroom space.

My son has been attending Celtic Cross since October 17. His speech development has improved dramatically and he has grown in confidence. The staff have made sure my son has settled in well and he has formed strong relationships with them.

I don't particularly appreciate soup and sandwich for dinner - think this should be at lunchtime instead - and my children both want food when they come home. I don't want to highly criticise as on the whole my children have been welcomed and cared for but I think it could be an excellent nursery with a few changes made.

Both our children thoroughly enjoy Celtic Cross. We've been with the nursery for the last three and a half years and cannot fault it. We would highly recommend it to other families.

Having a 2-year-old with a history of multiple allergies, I was nervous about the idea of the nursery - not just the usual settling issues but also managing her allergies, especially at mealtimes. I now wonder what all the worry was about!

The team at Celtic Cross have been absolutely amazing. We have been so impressed by their understanding, support and friendly professionalism. All the staff have such an experienced, caring, family-focused approach which is evident from discussions with the manager through to the nursery cook. We were supported in a very gradual settling in the process with our daughter - as a result of the settling in went more smoothly than we could have dared to imagine and our daughter thoroughly enjoys nursery.

While the facilities might not look as new and pristine as other newer nurseries, this genuinely isn't as important as a happy, healthy child is so well cared for with a team she bonded with so quickly and trusts. Would highly recommend Celtic Cross to any parent.

I love Celtic Cross Nursery. The staff are friendly and most have been there for a long time. They really get to know the children and families and both my children have thrived under their care.

It’s nice to have a nursery that is flexible if your plans change at short notice and that you know your children are well looked after.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

We cannot fault the level of care and how helpful and understanding the staff are. We have noticed such a positive reaction in our son and how well he has come on since starting the nursery. He always comes back so happy and seems to have such a good time. He also talks a lot about his day. The way he is learning new things and being encouraged shows in the things he can do and his level of ability for his age.

The staff are fantastic with my little boy. Always helping him to develop and grow. He has plenty of outside playtime. Meals are varied and he always enjoys them. Could not fault this nursery and my little boy is always excited to go.

The staff are always so attentive with my daughter and also to my husband and I when dropping and collecting our daughter at the nursery which fills us with absolute confidence she is in good hands.

My son really enjoys Celtic Cross. They have lots of outside time where there is both space to run around and plenty to play with. The children are allowed freedom of choice as well as some more structured learning e.g this month is all about boats. Overall, the nursery is welcoming and I know that I am happy my child is happy and well looked after.

My son loves his time at the Celtic Cross. All the staff are really friendly and always make sure that the kids always feel welcomed and settled. They have a variety of different things to do and my son always comes home having had a great time! Can't recommend them enough!
