Review from I H (Father of Child) published on 28 July 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son is very happy going to Foxcubs Nursery. The teachers are caring and considerate of the needs of the children. They took good care of my son, who has special needs. He has become very attached to some of the staff, which he will miss now that he is moving on to Reception. I would recommend this nursery to other parents.

Review from Samarah H (Mother of Child) published on 28 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My experience at Foxcubs has been truly amazing so far, I feel that my child is attending a safe and secure nursery where all of his needs are taken care of. The staff are absolutely wonderful, they are enthusiastic, and also keep me up to date with my child's development through the app where his observations and assessments are recorded. I feel that Foxcubs take children's well-being, learning and development seriously and do everything it can, to provide the best outcome. The manager/deputy are fantastic and fulfil the roles ticking all boxes.

Outstanding nursery, providing brilliant care. This is an excellent setting for my son. He loves going here and has learnt so much. The staff are fabulous and very friendly and you can tell they really care for the children. We have seen the changes in our son's behaviour and improved his learning immensely. He has grown so much this year, I am very impressed by the high standard of this nursery.

Overall Experience

My son absolutely loves nursery. His speech has come along as he had a speech delay and has learnt lots of new vocabulary. He loves his teachers and constantly talks about them at home. The staff are friendly and caring. The management team always informs parents of new changes, updates on our children and progress my son is making. The activities provided are age-appropriate, challenging and fun! Well done to the Foxclubs team for being outstanding, you truly live up to your rating!

Foxcubs Nursery has been a lovely experience for my child as well as for me. Lots of reassurance from the staff made me happy when I dropped off my son. Staff make you and the child feel very comfortable! Every day the children are doing different activities and having different snacks. Also, with the latest app the nursery has, you get to see what your child has been doing!

Review from Rasa J (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Where do I begin, so my son had started going to the nursery of Foxcubs. We, at first, were unsure as he had speech problems and had only ever been with us due to Covid. I, of course, in the beginning, knew it wouldn't go so well (a lot of tantrums), but this nursery has done an amazing job with my boy. He has learnt so many new words together and forms sentences. He also loves to go to nursery now and is the first one out the door. The nursery is also very interactive with us parents. All my praises go to you. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience
The team at Foxcubs Nursery are amazing. The centre is managed very well as well. During Covid they carried on as normally as possible and at the same time, they took all the necessary precautions. They have also done some very fun activities and have kept the children engaged. there is also a brilliant manager, her approach is very professional but she understands the children very well. The nursery is always looking at ways to

improve its offering as well. My child has thoroughly enjoyed his time there.

My daughter and son have been to this nursery. All the staff are very helpful and always have been. If you have a problem or need help in any way, they are always willing to help. There are always different activities out for the children to do, and if something happens at nursery, they will always inform you.

Foxcubs Nursery is one of the nurseries I would recommend to friends and family. It is one of a kind when it comes to caring for their pupils and parents. Staff at the nursery respect every individual and gives them the best quality of care they needed in order to meet their needs. Also, every bit of information we needed as parents are always updated on the famly app which is amazing. They are really doing a great job for kids and family.

Overall Experience

My daughter is very happy going to nursery. I like the way they are safeguarding the children and updating me about my child's progress. I find it easy to communicate with teachers, they are very warm-hearted and always there to help. They arranged a parents coffee morning, and stay and play, which is the best way to interact with parents, and spend quality time with our child. Very happy with them.
