The feedback throughout the day via their app is fantastic and keeps us updated on changes, food and naps.
The outdoor space is fantastic in a city nursery as well and is secluded on a quiet road.
The procedures put in place during the pandemic have been excellent in comparison to other nurseries. The social distanced pick up and drop off is very smooth and safe.
All in all, I would highly recommend to friends for children all the way to school age.
All the staff are caring, engaged and fun and tailor learning to the individual child; they engage my son's interest in numbers and sign language, and he comes home talking about things he has learned. All the staff seem to know all the children regardless of what room they are in.
Management is accessible and approachable and has done a great job supporting families and keeping communication open while keeping the nursery Covid secure.
My 18-month-old started at Pied Piper when she was 15-months-old and has struggled to settle due to her separation anxiety. The staff at Pied Piper have been excellent at helping her to settle and making her feel comfortable in they’re surroundings and with their staff. She didn’t eat for the first few weeks and wouldn’t sit at the table, and now she enjoys joining in activities, eating a variety of foods and spending time with the staff. The management team have been very good at reassuring me on her progress along the way.
One of the best nurseries I viewed, and so I let my daughter attend. The family app is updated when something happens like food and nappy changes so you can see when they have been eating throughout the day. As well as they post pictures, and I love seeing what my little one is doing.
Our 8-month-old just recently started at Pied Piper, and he really seems to enjoy it. He had a number of settling days, with great communication from the staff to settle the nerves of a first time mum. He has only been in for a short while, but the staff have been great, and he has settled no problem. Comes out smiling.
We are delighted we are with the care that our little boy receives at Pied Piper. He really loves all of the staff and skips in every day. We're amazed by the range of activities and how much he's learning. We have great interactions each day with the staff, who always give us a warm welcome. They have done a terrific job in introducing covid measures and when settling him back into nursery after months off due to the lockdown. Our little boy particularly enjoys the healthy and varied food menu - we apologise that he frequently has three portions of lunch. Huge thanks to the team.
My 7-month baby has started attending Pied Piper nursery full time in September and he is absolutely loving it. The team has been nothing but great to help him settle in. They are also all dedicated to helping meet ours and our baby's needs. Plus, everyone is very friendly, and the nursery life is really active and creative, with activities organised around special themes (Halloween, Christmas, etc.). I would really recommend this nursery to anyone!
My child has attended the nursery two days per week for the last three and a half years. The standard of care provided to him has always been excellent. The staff are incredibly nurturing and have supported him to develop and grow throughout his time there. I definitely made the right choice for him.
I feel totally comfortable and happy leaving them there which is a massive thing for me as they are full time at nursery. The garden especially is a fantastic space.
Both of our kids go to Pied Piper. We are very happy with it, great staff good activities etc. Kids are happy and that's the main thing.
Pied Piper Nursery is a fantastic nursery. All staff know me and my child, despite him currently frequenting the baby room. All staff are bright and friendly, and those who have daily contact with my child's needs. The indoor spaces are clean and well organised as well as bright and engaging. The nursery take every opportunity for learning outdoors and have a fantastic garden space which is regularly used. I am more than happy to leave my child in this safe, nurturing environment!
The care provided is first class. My little girl has come on so well and is a confident, happy, girl that loves nursery, this is all thanks to the girls at the nursery. The facilities are great and the children are taken out on loads of visits. Would really recommend this nursery.
The nursery provides a great loving caring environment, where the staff make sure my child is welcomed everyday. My wee girl talks about children from the nursery all the time and everything she does day to day.
I would recommend this nursery as a good environment for my child's development. Staff are caring and there is a wide variety of activities (indoor and outdoor) that respond to the children's natural curiosity.
They are also very flexible in accommodating our needs of different days of child care. I can see my daughter fulfilling her potential, she can write her name, has really good motoric skills and enjoys taking up a challenge. Most importantly she loves her nursery and so do I.
