Claylands Nursery

by staff one thing then on the child's journal told another thing.

it must be for the staff as well. Aside from that highlight, everything else seemed perfect - settling in, nap times, health precautions (appropriate outdoor wear, sun cream etc.), even paperwork/billing was easy and efficient - so I'm struggling to think of any room for improvement. Even my expectation that we'd see staff come and go quite frequently didn't happen. Pretty much everyone there now has been there since our boy's first day, always with a smile on their face, and that continuity is so important for the kids. If I think of any negatives, I'll let the nursery know, but for now it's a 5 star review.

new activities that are both fun and educational. The nursery grounds are delightful, a little haven surrounded by beautiful gardens which are definitely a favourite with our boys who love outdoor activities and play. The nursery has surpassed all our expectations and more it's such a lovely feeling when our boys come home filled with all the excitement and stories of their day at nursery and relief as a parent knowing that our children are with such lovely people having fun, creating memories. The staff are a real credit to their profession and as parents, we love reading and seeing updates from our boy's learning journals, this is such a lovely touch and fills us with joy.

with structured games. The nursery has been a perfect fit for them - not only do the children have continuous access to go outside and play in the enormous outdoor area but the staff have also been outstanding. I can't put into words how wonderful the staff have been with the boys. They are so compassionate and patient with them and have let the boys just join in and be treated the same as all the other children. I know that most people reading these reviews will be looking at them from the perspective of parents of children who do not have additional support needs but I wanted to flag up to any parents who have been struggling to find an exceptional, mainstream nursery, this is it!

The only issue can be the single road in and out of the nursery which can also make parking difficult at busier pick up and drop off times.
Overall, the outdoor facilities are perfect for the kids and are the main reason we chose Claylands Nursery.
