Review from Abigail m (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I took a long maternity leave (16 months) and really struggled with the idea of leaving my daughter with anyone other than my husband. The transition back to work was hard for me and I missed her so much. The staff were so understanding and really looked after my daughter (and me!) through the transition, allowing me to gently integrate her into her (and my) new routine, they kept me updated on the app so I still felt a part of her day and connected plus always have time for me at the start and the end of the day to chat about her and her activities. The manager and room leader are absolutely wonderful, I know my daughter is in kind, caring hands and also helping her develop well. I love the fact she gets plenty of outdoor time too!

Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier. Our little boy has been at this nursery for nearly two years. He has flourished in that time and runs excitedly into nursery every morning. He has some food allergies which the staff have handled brilliantly. All staff are warm, welcoming and caring. We have peace of mind while we are at work, knowing he is well taken care of.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was nine months old and she has loved every second! My daughter has a fantastic key worker, helping her progress at every stage of her development. My daughter has always struggled with eating, the staff have been excellent encouraging her to try new things and not pressuring her. We couldn't have asked for a nicer setting and have always felt so confident that she is getting the best care possible.

Overall Experience
In the beginning, my daughter was so upset to leave her mom and cry a lot during the nursery.
But the teachers in the Bluebell room were so patient to hold my girl and comfort her all morning time which I was really moved.
Very much appreciate all the Bluebell room teachers

Now she enjoys nursery time so much and is very happy to say bye-bye to mom every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Our child has attended this nursery for over a year now and we are extremely happy with the level or care and services the nursery provide. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming each day and provide updates on what they have been doing throughout the day and how they've got on. We would highly recommend this nursery and look forward to many more happy years with them.

Review from Helen E (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The nursery is bright and wonderful. Both of my children have attended the nursery from the baby room, with my son now at school. My daughter remains at the nursery, and the staff are always so caring, supportive, friendly and always have the best interests of the children at heart. My daughter suffers from hearing loss in one ear and has a hearing aid. The staff have been so amazing and supportive with my daughter, and so adaptive to her needs.

They do great activities and prepare children for school. The nursery also celebrate the cultures of the children within the nursery and around the world which is great. The nursery uses an app which is really good throughout the day, to see how your children are doing especially when a bit smaller.

Review from A D (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter is 3 and has attended here since 11 months old. She has gotten on well with all the staff in each room as she has progressed. She missed a fair bit of time due to lockdown as did many others but nursery handled it all really well and kept all the parents informed at every step and the weekly social media story time was a definite winner in our house.

The pricing is very reasonable in comparison to other nurseries in the area. The children are clearly well entertained all day long and my daughter is always worn out when she gets home.

Review from Candice H (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has been at this nursery for the last year. He has absolutely flourished in that time because of the dedication of the staff. They are all very encouraging and he is always surprising us with new things he has clearly learned at nursery - just this week he has read every number in a book at home correctly from 1 to 10 at 23 months old, we couldn't believe it! He has a fantastic bond with the staff and will happily run into the nursery with a wave and a smile. The rooms have lovely and interesting resources which he loves to explore and we get frequent updates throughout the day on the parent app including pictures of him enjoying himself. The nursery has also been really good at accommodating all his needs, he has food allergies and has to have medication at nursery and I never have any worries about that as they are completely on top of it. They always go over and above our expectations and I recommend them to everyone.

Review from Nicola M (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has attended this nursery for the last four years, and we have been so happy with his care there. It is an outstanding nursery where staff are dedicated, friendly and supportive on all levels. The care, attention and learning experience he has had there has been exceptional.

Activities are varied including stretch and grow, yoga and swimming as well as lots of creative activities. Staff went above and beyond during lockdown organising a private Facebook group where games, activities and daily story readings were uploaded and a weekly Zoom call for all children. The arrangements for returning were exceptionally well planned and communicated with clear empathy for the change children have been through. As a parent, it has been invaluable to have a place where I know my child is so well looked after, and I would strongly recommend this nursery to others.

Review from Neil J (Father of Child) published on 30 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter loves the staff at this nursery. We’re demanding parents (slightly ashamed to say), our daughter went to an outstanding nursery before this and hand on heart I can say that they are outstanding at this nursery too. They are more than happy to spend time discussing issues and parenting concerns, often working with you to resolve undesirable behavioural issues, offering great guidance whenever asked on any aspect of childcare and parenting advice which is invaluable if, like us first-time parents with haha an intelligent kid; that often runs rings around us.

This team provide outstanding education and care, having helped develop our daughter over the past year. Greeting our daughter at the end of a long day spent with this team makes the pain of leaving her there in the morning worthwhile. She is delighted to tell you about what she’s done and the fun she’s had. She’s so bubbly and bright in dementor that you can’t help forget work and enjoy the precious time. Amazingly beneficial.

Review from Jason R (Father of Child) published on 30 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A delightful, warm nursery. Despite the best efforts of the staff to keep in contact and produce online content during their COVID-19 closure, there was no substitute for being there in person. Our little one has been overjoyed to return to his friends, the staff and their many activities. Would recommend to everyone.

Review from Zoe H (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has attended this nursery since he was about six months old and is now sadly about to leave to start school in September. Our experience throughout his time at the nursery has been exceptional. The staff clearly care about the children and, despite the inevitable wobbles, our son has really enjoyed his time there. His favourite activity has to be "Stretch and Grow". Other activities include swimming and tennis with coaches from the gym nearby as well as language classes. We have also benefited from the convenience - everything is provided and all you really need to take in on a regular basis is a change of clothes - and support with weaning and toilet training. Their response to the recent pandemic has also been outstanding. They set up a Facebook group, with regular posts, including stories from key members of staff, and held zoom meetings with the children to keep in touch. We also really appreciated them hosting our son's birthday on the children's' return to nursery after lockdown.

Review from Holly K (Mother of Child) published on 16 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The team at this nursery have been fantastic during the lockdown period. The managers and many of the members of staff (despite some of them being furloughed) have provided a weekly zoom call to stay in touch with the children. It was fantastic for my son to keep in touch to see his friends (his age) and his friends (staff!) so that the return to nursery was not too daunting. The extra steps which have had to be put in place seemed a little strange on day one but the team have done everything possible to make it as normal as possible for the children. We loved the video of how the new arrival system works and how the rooms are set up so we could show it to our son so he knew what to expect on the first day. He has loved his first week back which has made it easier for us. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Reply from Lyndsey Slessor, Manager at My Ohana York Nursery
Thank you, Holly, for the kind words. It has been lovely to have all our families back at nursery. The zoom calls were so much fun, but it never replaces having the children in our care. He is so happy to back with all his friends and you can genuinely tell how much he has missed everyone.

Looking forward to having you all on the journey for the rest of 2020.

Review from Becie D (Mother of Child) published on 16 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy started back at the nursery (originally started in February) on Monday and I could not be happier with how well the nursery have managed the 'new normal.' They are organised and efficient and do their absolute best to make sure handover is smooth and supportive for parents and children. The rooms are beautifully resourced and the team are knowledgable and caring. My little boy loves it! I am so pleased we chose this setting as the place to help us nurture our little boy.

Reply from Lyndsey Slessor, Manager at My Ohana York Nursery

Thank you, Becie, for the kind words. It has been a pleasure to have all our families back. The new normal has been an adjustment and all our families have managed this so well. We look forward to having you all on our journey through the rest of 2020.
