Grace’s Day Nursery, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, is set in two buildings. Little Grace’s is for 3 month to 2 year olds and Grace’s, in the Manor House, is for 2 year olds to 5 year olds. The benefit of splitting the age groups is that it allows them to ensure that both buildings are entirely age appropriate. Little Grace’s is an extremely light and welcoming building, with easy access...

Review from Laura M (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A wonderful environment for babies and children - kind, caring, gentle and fun. The nursery staff are without exception extremely professional, entirely focused on knowing the children and giving them a lovely experience every day. The facilities are great and the meals are balanced and healthy. There is a very well behaved and happy vibe to the nursery and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Overall Experience

My little girl has been coming to this nursery since she was a year old and she is now three. Every time she is getting ready for nursery, she is excited and cannot wait to go. The staff are amazing and she has really thrived. I am always relaxed about leaving her there. Amazing place.

Overall Experience

Amazing setting. Both of my children have been very happy here and blossomed. Very confident sending back the toddler during/after lockdown. Every member of staff I’ve ever spoken with have been lovely, caring and knowledgeable. My little boy loves his days here and it’s so much easier leaving him when I know he’s happy, feels secure and is having so much fun and being cared for so well.

Review from Rachel B (Mother of Child) published on 21 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is an excellent nursery and we have been very happy with the care our daughter has received. The staff team are very easy to work with, supportive, flexible and communicate well. This was important to us as our daughter has additional health needs which required a specific care plan. The nursery went out of their way to adapt the care they offered to ensure our daughter was well looked after and able to access the same opportunities as other children. It is a very fun environment for the children. There are always a variety of activities and the outside areas are brilliant with space for the climbing frame, sandpit, bikes and forest school. My daughter has made good friends here and we will be really sad to say goodbye when she starts school in September.

Overall Experience

My little boy loves going to Grace’s. He can’t wait to get there each morning. He is very fond of the staff, who make such a huge effort with each child as individuals. There is a good range of toys and activities, and he is never bored. The menu is very varied and nutritious, and he eats things at nursery that he would never touch at home. He is starting school this year and Grace's has helped him to prepare for this. It will be sad for all of us to say goodbye to Grace's and the staff.

Review from Sarah-Jane B (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Grace's Day Nursery has been amazing with both my children, they are both thriving in nursery and cannot wait to go in each day. They provide home-cooked meals every day, have a great garden and have an on-site forest school which my oldest has been really enjoying. We also get daily updates with photos and observations with what the children have been up to with their online app.
The nursery provides great support to me as a parent and the staff are particularly knowledgeable when it comes to issues at home that I have asked for advice with e.g. potty training, terrible twos. The staff are always so happy and welcoming and you can tell they are really passionate about their jobs.

Thank you Graces for doing such a fantastic job!

Overall Experience

During the last four years, both my husband and I have been extremely happy with the care, support and wonderfully happy environment provided by all at Grace's Day Nursery Our daughter started at Grace's Day Nursery when she was just 10 months old and has always enjoyed going. Throughout all of her stages, the staff have all contributed to her growth and development and she is now a confident little girl ready to start school.

Review from Lynda S (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Grace's has been a fabulous nursery for our daughter, supporting her social, physical and educational development. Fun is at the centre of all their learning, along with developing the children's independence, self-confidence and sense of adventure. All the staff, irrelevant of their classes, greet all the children by name which promote a family feel and encourages the children to build strong relationships with both their peers and carers. I cannot recommend it highly enough and feel it is an incredible environment for our daughter to prepare for her transition to school.

Review from Vikki H (Mother of Child) published on 2 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son was one of the first children to attend Grace's Day Nursery when it opened in January 2011. I knew then that it was a very special place. He stayed there until he went to school. My daughter now attends the nursery and it's still amazing. Both my children love Grace's - as do we. The quality of staff and management is exceptional, as is the care. I have complete faith that my child is being cared for and nurtured whilst they are there. Couldn't rate it high enough.

Review from Samantha P (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My twin daughters have attended Graces since they were 9 months old and are currently 3 and half. It is a great nursery, all the staff are friendly, approachable and truly care about the children's best interests. My daughters absolutely adore going to nursery and just learn so much, with each day being different and amazing activities on offer for them to take part in. We will be be beginning to prepare them for school next year and I have every confident that Graces Pre-school will set them up for the best possible start.

Overall Experience

In the short time my son has been attending Grace's they have been nothing short of fabulous. Nothing is too much trouble & they are fantastic with the children.

Like most children, my son has found being left for the first time difficult but the staff at Grace's have done a brilliant job of reassuring both him and I and he is now thriving.
