Review from Dee C (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
DAYBREAK NURSERY has everything we could have wished for in a nursery and more. Our two sons have been attending since they were 4 months old and have enjoyed every single day. The management and staff really do offer high quality flexible childcare. Their main aim is to promote FUN and our boys have had nothing but fun since they joined. The staff are very well trained and managed and always show a welcoming smile at any time of the day. We have found the staff to take a real interest in our boys and work with them to develop them in so many ways such as socially, promoting independence, learning through fun play etc.
They are provided with a variety of fresh nutritious meals every day. We have never had a problem or issue with Daybreak Nurseries, they are always there to listen, advise and assist where possible. We are sad to say our oldest boy will be leaving soon to attend our local School Nursery but he will be returning to Daybreak on his school holidays to join in the fun with all the lovely friends he has made during his 3 years here. Our youngest is just moving from baby room to toddler and is looking forward to the change and the adventure his new room and carers will bring. We have no doubt it will be exciting!

We would have no hesitation in recommending Daybreak Nursery and it's staff to parents who are looking for a top class, fun and flexible nursery for their special little ones.

Overall Experience

We are extremely happy with the level of care and attention to detail given to our son at RSL. Their support in our baby led schedules and baby led weaning has been fantastic, and they have been key in supporting his nap transitions. Meals and meal plans are excellent, activities are varied and my son loves his days at nursery!

Overall Experience

What a gem of a place. They are so helpful and attentive. I really couldn't recommend them enough. My son has developed brilliantly there and I have NEVER had even the slightest of issues. "A" stars all round for all the staff. Wonderful people and amazing facilities. My partner and I work shifts which can change at short notice. I sometimes have to ring to change the days he is attending nursery and they don't bat an eye lid. I've heard horror stories of the rigidity of almost all other nurseries when it comes to what days children attend etc, but at Daybreak the motto seems to be "If it's doable...we'll do it!"

Overall Experience
My child has been at Daybreak Shepherds Lane for almost a year now, and she is very happy there. The nursery is lovely - set in a tranquil location with a spacious garden, it feels very peaceful and safe.
All the staff are friendly and welcoming, and take excellent care of the children. The nursery is well run and contact with parents is very good.
They are flexible about hours of attendance, which helps to fit in with work and other commitments.

The overall feeling I get when being there is that it is simply a very happy place, and all the children enjoy being there - which is all you want from a nursery really!

Review from Laura (Mother of Child) published on 18 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been at Daybreak Shepherds Lane for just over two years and from day one they have provided excellent care whilst encouraging her to become her own little person. The staff are wonderful and nothing is too much. They provide a kind and friendly environment for the children as well as giving them structure to their day preparing them for school life ahead.
The staff are always accessible and have dealt proficiently with my daughter's dairy allergy which has been of great comfort to me.
Daybreak also benefits from great outdoor space and the staff encourage the children to play outside whenever weather permits.

I highly recommend Daybreak Shepherds Lane to anyone looking for day to day nursery care for their children.

Review from Malcolm Y (Father of Child) published on 17 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My high praise for this nursery starts from the top. The management has a clear vision of what it needs and wants to achieve and most importantly this is fed down and through to every level of staffing and care. My two children have been allowed to develop both together and independently. Communication from the nursery is continually improving and our questions have always been answered promptly and appropriately. There is always a friendly face on hand at the start or end of the day. The nursery benefits from ample outdoor space which was important to us. The best recommendation would be from the children themselves, who bound down the path and back again each day they are at nursery.

Overall Experience

My two boys have been at Shepherds since it opened in 2010. The staff are amazing and they have gone over and above their duties on many occasions to make the boys feel loved, safe and secure. The boys now attend The Break and they thoroughly enjoy the activities and outdoor space. I would highly recommend Shepherds Daybreak. Many of the staff are long running members (which speaks volumes) and they do a brilliant job and they will always have our support. Thank You!
