We couldn't be happier with MyOhana Nursery,York. As a granny, it's wonderful to see how happy, confident and settled my grandson is.

He is always so happy to goto Nursery and expresses how much of a good time he has had when I pick him up.
I think this time at Ohana has been absolutely essential to him developing his social skills and improving his behaviours. Rowan is a better and happier child for being there, and looking forward to seeing how he develops further in the next year.
It's wonderful to hear what a positive impact nursery has had on Rowan and how happy he is coming in each day.
We're especially pleased to hear how well supported he has been by Liz and Zita. Supporting each child as an individual and working closely with families is so important to us, so it's...

We're especially pleased to hear how well supported he has been by Liz and Zita. Supporting each child as an individual and working closely with families is so important to us, so it's lovely to know that their guidance, care and regular feedback have made such a difference to Rowan's development, confidence and social skills.
We'll make sure your kind words are shared with Liz, Zita and the wider team. We're looking forward to seeing Rowan continue to grow, learn and thrive over the next year!

Our son has attended this nursery since he was 12 months old and has always been incredibly happy and settled. You can genuinely tell the staff care about the children and enjoy spending their days with them. There is a lovely family feel, with staff knowing every child by name, even if they don't work directly in their room.
We've been particularly impressed by the emphasis on learning and development alongside providing a warm and caring environment. Our son has grown enormously in confidence, both personally and socially, and the staff actively work with him on important skills such as sharing, taking turns, communication and interacting with others. There is clearly a lot of thought behind the activities they provide and he is constantly learning through play.
He has allergies and the staff are excellent at ensuring he is cared for appropriately. We also appreciate the familiar staff who have known him since he was very small. Quite often he doesn't want to leave when we collect
What a wonderful reflection of your son's time with us! It's fantastic to hear that he has been so happy and settled since joining at 12 months old, and that you've felt such a strong sense of care and familiarity from the team.

What a wonderful reflection of your son's time with us! It's fantastic to hear that he has been so happy and settled since joining at 12 months old, and that you've felt such a strong sense of care and familiarity from the team.
We're especially pleased to hear how much his confidence, communication and social skills have developed. Creating opportunities for children to learn through play, while supporting their individual development and interests, is such an important part of what we do.
It's also really reassuring to hear that you feel confident in the way the team manages his allergies and individual needs. We'll be sure to share your lovely feedback with everyone at the nursery.
And we think not wanting to leave at collection time might be one of the best compliments we could receive!

My son has had a brilliant time at My Ohana since he started aged 9 months. He's always had a lovely connection with the staff and is very happy to go in every day. He loves the activities that are provided - including several different child-focused programs, and always eats well! We recently potty trained and everyone at My Ohana helped support our approach which made the whole process so much easier for him. Communication with parents is excellent, both through the App and at pick up and drop off. They make great use of the outside space in all weathers and are always encouraging my son in anything he is interested in.
It's lovely to hear how much your son has enjoyed his time at My Ohana York since joining us at just 9 months old!

We're so pleased that he has built such strong connections with the team and enjoys everything from the activities and outdoor play to mealtimes. It's particularly lovely to hear that the team were able to work alongside you during potty training and help make such an important milestone a positive experience for him.
We're also delighted that you've found communication through the app and at drop-off and pick-up so helpful. Working closely with our families and following each child's individual interests is a really important part of what we do.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We look forward to continuing to watch your son learn, grow and enjoy his time at My Ohana!

It means so much to hear that your little boy has flourished during his time at My Ohana York and genuinely enjoys coming to nursery each day.
Every child is unique, and we're proud to create an environment where they feel supported to be themselves, build confidence and develop at their own pace. It's especially lovely to hear him talking about his "friends" at nursery - both the children and the team!
Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We'll make sure your feedback is shared with the whole team.

We recently moved our daughter here from another placement - and wow - what a difference it's made already after just a few short weeks. Staff are happy, engaged and provide great updates regularly throughout the day. There's no shortage of activities and enrichment and the outdoor space is ideal for busy toddlers. We can't thank the team here enough for already making such a positive difference.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback!

Our daughter joined My Ohana from another setting in January 2026. The team at My Ohana have worked really hard to help her settle in and after only a small number of sessions our daughter was happy to attend nursery. She has formed strong bonds with the My Ohana team and some other children and we're kept up to date with her day to day activities through the use of the app as well as a full debrief from the My Ohana team when collecting her. Activities seem to be varied and our daughter has had some noticeable developments since attending.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback. We are so proud of how well she has settled into her new environment .
We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. From day one (nearly2.5 years ago!), the staff have been warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. Their experience really shows - our little one settled in so quickly and is always happy and smiling at drop-off and pick-up. The care...
Our child is thriving here - calm, confident, and happy. We're so grateful to have found such a special place. The manager & her entire team are doing a terrific job at helping to bring up the tiny tots. A five-star nursery - highly recommended!
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback . Its so wonderful to hear how much your little one enjoys her time with us.
Unfortunately, my daughter didn't have a good experience there due to the staff's stress towards the kids to keep them in their routine by shouting at them or snapping things out their hands. The app that they provide is also not practical or well update by staff.

We appreciate your feedback on our setting. Upon reflection with the team I would like to reassure you that your daughter did enjoy her time with us , albeit short she was happy. Due to the structure of our setting and the number of children we do care for, it is important to have a set routine so it allows the children time to play and time to sit and enjoy mealtimes. Health and safety is paramount during the nursery day as we have a large number of children in our preschool room . All our team members have recent and updated behaviour management training , which is regularly reviewed and monitored by senior colleagues. During our recent OFSTED inspection we were highly praised on the behaviour management skills. We update our parentzone app generally at lunchtimes as the team is focussing on the children's activities and needs during the day. We aim to add information at the earliest opportunity but we do encourage parents to call if they do want to check in on their child.
My son loves coming to My Ohana and I am so happy with how well he's settled in. The staff are amazingly supportive and he learns so much in a safe and friendly environment. All the staff are lovely and friendly and I have no concerns with anything.

There is always a wide range of activities for the children to engage in; whether that be physical - (outdoor play, dexterity, balance etc), or mental - (games, reading, recognition, etc) activities. The nursery provide a safe space for the children to socialise and learn new skills; the nursery has its own outdoor area with a range of engaging toys, play areas, and outbuildings that my child absolutely loves. The staff are all incredibly friendly, welcoming, and engaging with both the parents and the children, and we couldn't ask for more.

The Staff at My Ohana are lovely and great. I've had/have two children go to My Ohana York and both with additional needs, both with completely different personalities, abilities and needs, and they have been so great with both of them and always being there supporting them. They are quick to contact you if anything is wrong. They are easy to get into contact with and discuss anything. They are so nice and helpful. Lots of activities for the children. Seems a safe and clean environment. The children always come first. Management and all staff are fantastic. Couldn't recommend enough.
A very welcoming nursery, a place where I can leave my son with peace of mind, knowing that he will be safe and happy. My son loves going there, and I am very grateful for this time that he can enjoy with everyone.

A brilliant nursery, my 6 year old attended a few years ago and his confidence grew and staff was amazing, now my youngest son attends 2 days a week and I honestly can't thank the staff enough, my son's confidence has grown tremendously and he is now able to say some words which he couldn't do before. I've been given advice on help to support my son at home with his speech and told what works best for him in nursery. It is a fun and safe environment and my son is always happy and loves his nursery setting and staff. Big shout out to 2 staff members in particular, great women and are my son's safe space.
My little girl is in Poppies, she loves it there and I feel happy leaving her knowing she's looked after really well by the staff there. It's a lovely nursery with friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere.
