My little girl attends Nurtured @Northfields and I can honestly say the team and setting are exceptional. We started at a different setting to which we had some issues and transferring my daughter to Northfields was the best decision we made. Can not fault the team or setting in any way, they have been supportive in terms of additional needs (SEN) and assessments for our child ensuring that she has a plan tailored to her own specific learning requirements. My daughter loves her school days and has a fabulous attachment to the team that work to meet her every need, whilst in the setting. Communication is outstanding and the team is so nurturing. Thank you, Northfield!
We are so pleased you are so happy with our setting and the support given to your little one. Thank you so much for sharing your experience we can't wait to share this with the team.

My child has been going to Nurtured @Northfield since 2022 following the positive feedback of my nephew who loved attending. I couldn't find fault in any of the staff, they all have a keen eye for detail and provide an amazing environment for each child to develop and grow individually, whilst constantly being in a safe environment. The app ensures updates on their well-being and activities plus photos to see how much fun they are having. My second child is already signed up, I wouldn't want to use any other setting for them.
Such a lovely review, thank you so much. It's great that you love the environments, staff and app too. Thank you also for choosing us for your second little one.
Amazingly caring and attentive staff, nursery environment is home from home, very well run. The second of my children attending over a 10-year span and as good now as it was in 2014. Would recommend it to anyone.

It's so important for parents to feel their children are being cared for adequately and I can honestly say this nursery makes me feel so at ease when dropping off/picking up.
My children have come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery and would recommend it to any parent.
This was such a lovely read. Thank you for your wonderful feedback. The team will love reading this.
My daughter has been with the nursery in a funded place since November and she absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing and always so happy and smiley with the children.

My daughter has been with the nursery in a funded place since November and she absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing and always so happy and smiley with the children. We are always kept informed on how our daughter is doing and the staff are always happy to have a chat or answer any questions we have. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining, not only with things she is learning but with her confidence too. We can't forget to mention the chef and the food! My daughter loves nearly everything she is given at nursery and the variety and menu choices are incredible.
Thank you for your kind words; this is very much appreciated. We will share this feedback with the team.

Nurtured at Northfield has consistently been outstanding. My little girl who has a very shy character has come out of her shell over the last 12 months and this is solely because of the staff encouraging her through 1 to 1 play. Building into group sessions. This has been such a massive result for her to start her next journey in September. I also have a little boy at this nursery, who is a big personality. They welcome him with open arms and he walks happily straight in. (Which is a miracle as he is a Velcro baby). Nothing is ever a problem or too big of a deal for them to be happily willing to support and help you. They have a brilliant understanding that all children do their own thing in their own time. They are always at the top of the list in regards to recommending to other mums. They are without doubt the best nursery within the local area. I will be very sad to see them leave such a wonderful place as their first step into play and education.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We really appreciate this and the team will be thrilled to see that you and your little ones are enjoying your experience at Northfield.

Honestly cannot praise this nursery enough! My child left here to start shool in 2021 and now my youngest child is starting here and I can honestly say the staff are the most friendly and supportive staff, my daughter found it hard to settle back when she started her nursery experience and all the staff kept me as a parent calm and reassured that my daughter would be OK and I'd be informed of every little step of her day in which I was. Now it's time for my little boy to start those nerves have all flooded back but I have already spoken to staff who have been nothing but supportive and reassuring of my little boy's journey to start. Such a wonderful heartfelt nursery who really do take pride in their jobs of caring for our babies.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We really appreciate your feedback.
Both children currently attend the nursery, I can't thank them enough for the support they've given. The staff always keep us updated throughout the day which gives peace of mind. They also involve parents/caregivers in everything they do, for example meal rotas. Overall, fab little nursery.

Having viewed a number of nurseries for our little one, Nurtured @ Northfield immediately had the most welcoming and caring feel; twelve months on we couldn't be happier with our choice. All of the staff know each of the children as individuals and the communication between practitioners and parents, both in person and via the app, is brilliant. The activities planned by the staff are fantastic, and the children are outside at every opportunity. The most important part is seeing how happy our son is each day when we pick him up!
The children love being able to explore the outdoor area! Your little one is a delight to have within nursery.
They’ve thought of everything for activities and all the rooms are really nicely laid out and decorated and it's safe for the kids to move between them.

They’ve thought of everything for activities and all the rooms are really nicely laid out and decorated and it's safe for the kids to move between them.
My son is the only one in his class whom can’t walk and within the first couple of days extra care and support was given to him, arranged by the staff from inside and outside the nursery. I’m so impressed and at ease knowing he’s fully supported.
The cook is amazing and my son eats more than ever when he’s there, which is always rich nutritious meals and snacks.
I have an online account where I can see pictures and updates about my son’s development and time at the nursery and they have plenty of lovely special days to document.
I have been to many nurseries in my years of being a mother and this is by far the best, highly recommended and I can’t thank them enough for their continued support.
Thank you for your lovely review. Your little one is amazing and loves exploring all areas of our nursery. He's formed lovely attachments to all the staff, who support him. I will pass your comment on to our chef who will be delighted to know this.

My daughter attends this nursery three days per week and absolutely loves it. The staff are very nurturing towards her and I know that she is in safe hands when I drop her off in the morning. The app that they use to communicate with parents is very effective, as the staff update it regularly with information on my child's milestones and the progress she is making towards them through observations. I can't recommend this nursery enough!
Thank you so much to taking the time to review us. What amazing feedback. We are so happy that you and your little one are having a great experience with us. The team will be so pleased to see this. Thanks again.

The most wonderful group of staff and a really lovely nursery, I'm so grateful for them. It's such a huge adjustment to leave your little one at nursery, but everyone at Northfield couldn't be more on hand to settle in the children and put the parents' minds at rest. My little boy has adored his time here and has come on leaps and bounds with his communication and confidence since going. You get a real sense of genuine care from everyone there and you can see they love what they do and the children love them for it.
We know how hard it is to leave them and through providing an excellent settling in period it helps with the transition.
In 2020 my son started at this nursery and they’ve been beyond fabulous. He stayed until he started school this year and I would always recommend them. I’ve since had another son who also attends and his development has been great.

Thank you for such a lovely review. Your son has settled in really quickly and has formed positive relationships with all staff within the room. He is such a happy individual. I will pass on your message regarding the meals to our chef.

Our eldest son went from Toddler 1 through to preschool at Nurtured @ Northfield and throughout two plus years we don’t have a single bad word to say about the setting. The practitioners are amazing with the children and care so much about the children's development, management are amazing and always reaching out and checking in. Our youngest son has recently started in the baby room and loves it, I never thought I’d be comfortable leaving our baby as young as 8 months in a nursery, but knowing he’s at Nurtured @ Northfield fills me with confidence knowing he’s with the best. The food is also outstanding and really sets the nursery out from the rest!
Thank you for such a heartfelt review. Watching your eldest grow in confidence was a pleasure, and knowing you entrust us with your little one is wonderful and we are looking forward to supporting his development also. We understand how hard it is leaving your little one, everything we do helps to...
Thank you for such a heartfelt review. Watching your eldest grow in confidence was a pleasure, and knowing you entrust us with your little one is wonderful and we are looking forward to supporting his development also. We understand how hard it is leaving your little one, everything we do helps to make the separation a little bit easier for you, whether this be through us reaching out and checking in, or sending photographs of your little one's day via our app.
Nowhere else I would send my children. It’s a welcoming, caring and fantastic place with the best staff. Both my children have loved their time here. They have learnt so much. They also eat everything the chef cooks! It’s a great place. Inside is clean and tidy with lots of imaginative toys to...
Nowhere else I would send my children. It’s a welcoming, caring and fantastic place with the best staff. Both my children have loved their time here. They have learnt so much. They also eat everything the chef cooks! It’s a great place. Inside is clean and tidy with lots of imaginative toys to play with, books to read and crafts to do. The staff are always on hand with cuddles and completely understand the kids.
Thank you for this lovely review. We love giving cuddles and supporting your children and the others within our care. It's lovely when your older child returns and talks about her day, it makes us smile.

My little boy has been at Northfield Under 5's since he was 13 months old and he absolutely loves it. The staff are all really friendly and they all know his name and say hello when he walks through the building to find his room. I feel they all genuinely care for the kids. He always comes home telling me what he has been up to and singing new nursery rhymes. He loves being outside and I like that they try to get the kids outside as much as possible for fresh air. Meals are well balanced, and they are always happy to answer any queries, any time. Definitely recommend!
Children have access to a large spacious garden area, which is set up on a daily basis allowing children to further develop various skills including Gross motor skills. We will always answer questions, as quickly as possible.
Can not recommend Northfields Under 5's enough, the staff and provisions they offer are outstanding! My little boy is coming on leaps and bounds with their caring, nurturing approach. I am just gutted my daughter had to move on to big school otherwise I would have kept her there if I could.

I wish, we could keep them forever!
It's lovely to hear the thoughts of our parents
The staff are brilliant and my children have made real connections with them. The food is always healthy and delicious. They send me updates on how my children are learning and what they need to focus on. My children really enjoy going to school here.

Since using Famly, it's easier to share information on a regular basis keeping you up to date with your children's progress. It's lovely to hear they are both happy with us.

Our son has been going to Northfield Under 5's since he was thirteen months old, and he really enjoys it. I feel that the staff genuinely care for him whilst there and he looks forward to going each week. His confidence has grown and it's lovely to see him thrive in an environment without us. He's made some lovely friends there and talks fondly of the ladies in his room. Our second son will be going in September, I wouldn't want to send him anywhere else.
We care for and nurture every child in our setting. He is certainly thriving in Nursery and making some lovely secure friendships.
We can't wait until your little one starts with us.
