We love Storytime! Me and my little girl are going to miss it terribly when she goes to big school in September. All staff are just amazing, friendly, lovely ladies and make me feel at complete ease leaving my daughter with them and the fact she loves it confirms their brilliance.
My son has attended since he was 6 months old and the staff have been fantastic with him. Me and my partner always say he’s come on so much from just attending the nursery. My son loves it when he is there, he’s just moved to the toddler room and is so excited by all of the new things he’s doing. Staff and management are always willing to help you any way they can.
Both my children have attended Storytime, I absolutely recommend the nursery. The staff are so lovely and caring and have been excellent throughout the year, adapting to new ways of working. The setting is great, lovely big rooms and lots of outdoor space to play. My son has special educational needs, he attended from age 1 and the nursery could not have helped more on his journey, nothing was too much to ask. I really credit them for helping us as a family, during his first years. His transition to school was brilliant too. My daughter still attends and has come on so much, singing and chatting away and is very sociable and loves telling me about her days and what she has done. Thank you Storytime.
Amazing nursery. Amazing staff. Both of my boys absolutely love this nursery. They are always excited to tell me about all the fun and creative things they have done there. Would 100% recommend to anyone.
Both my daughters have attended this nursery for over 2 years now and I did a lot of research before choosing Storytime and I have never had reason to doubt my decision. It is not the closest nursery to our home but it is the best. They carefully cater for allergies, it is very clean and the staff are professional but very friendly. This year, the management and staff have done so much to make sure that the nursery has been a safe space throughout the covid pandemic and they really do adhere to guidelines stringently which is very reassuring. The contact between staff and parents is great, they manage to make sure each child's development is tracked and parents are emailed details regularly. Storytime honestly feels like a family and I highly recommend this nursery.
The girls are absolutely amazing with our little one and comes out smiling every time and lots of updates to make us feel at ease. They constantly thinking of new ideas for the babies to help with there range of development skills and personally love reading what they’ve been doing at the end of the day.
Fantastic setting with fantastic staff. Very friendly and always happy to help with any problems. Storytime is like one big happy family between staff and families. I wouldn't take my child anywhere else.
Fantastic nursery! All staff are friendly and welcoming and provide first class care. They really do treat the children as if they were there own. My daughter loves storytime and I feel safe knowing that she is being cared for by a wonderful team.
We couldn't ask for a better nursery for our daughter to go to, the staff are brilliant and extremely friendly and our daughter absolutely loves it, what more can you want for your child? Even in these hard times, they have taken the time to put everything in place to ensure not only our children's safety but the staff and parents too and we can take our children to nursery without worrying.
The staff are friendly, fabulous and approachable and have a vast knowledge of working with children across all needs.
They have a great menu to encourage children to try new things.
No two days are the same at Storytime my child always has a wonderful story to tell me about his day.
They say first impressions count .... choosing a nursery can be quite daunting, after all, you want to give your child the best possible start in life. So, my wife and I made visits to 4 nurseries including Storytime (first on visit list) before making a decision - to be honest, we could have made up our minds after this first visit. All the staff were friendly as you'd expect but many of the staff members really made us feel assured through their passion for childcare and beaming smiles. It was quite an easy decision in the end and we haven't regretted it one bit. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds whilst in their care, and we've loved seeing her make new friends and develop her own little personality who we absolutely adore. Now she's progressed through the classes and our second daughter will be joining soon to start her journey. I can't thank all the staff enough for their total dedication, support and friendliness - you all do a fantastic job and are an absolute credit!
Storytime Private Day Nursery has been absolutely fantastic with my son, who from an early age has had some additional needs, these were identified and catered for by specific 1-2-1 and the use of Makaton, pecs cards etc. I cannot recommend this nursery enough, and my daughter also started here in September.
The staff are professional and extremely caring for the children and families, and we felt welcomed from the first day we stepped foot into the building to look around.
My son loves nursery and he is really excited to go each day, the staff have taken each child's likes and dislikes and really put a personal effort in to make sure the children feel happy, safe and secure. He loves the room and staff, and I can't wait to see where he goes within the next few months with this high level of care.
Storytime was the best decision I made when it came to my child's care when I was returning to work. The second I walked into the nursery for some details I was instantly put at ease, the staff knew their stuff, I was reassured with whatever questions I asked them and they've always been so helpful and supportive if ever I've had any concerns or worries about my little one. I have recommended them to plenty of family and friends and have child number two already on their waiting list.
I used a different nursery for my two older children and they were not a patch on Storytime. They really care about the children here and my other child who attended, also received excellent support and handover to primary school with everything in place for his SEN needs before he started.
Outstanding across all areas. The staff are friendly and put children's wellbeing at the top of their priority lists. I have had nothing but good experiences and my son loves to attend nursery and has thrived in the past two years.
Our daughter started in October this year 2nd we have found this nursery to be extremely friendly, professional, helpful and open.
Plenty of opportunity for outdoor/messy play. Food for the children is very good.
Parents are regularly updated on their children's progress.
My granddaughter attended Storytime Nursery from September 2017 to July 2019 and I can't praise them enough. The staff are so kind and caring and make everyone so welcome. My granddaughter loved her time here and came on leaps and bounds with her language - speech and her social skills. She enjoyed all the activities, singing, playing and learning. She loved all the staff and made lots of friends. Thank you to all the lovely staff for everything you did for her. You are all brilliant and we will miss you all.
I felt anxious about returning to work and leaving my 9 month old little girl, however, she has settled in really well and I feel really happy with her going to Storytime. The staff are all friendly, caring and professional. My little girl has established good bonds with the staff and is always happy when I take her and pick her up. My daughter absolutely loves her food at nursery and enjoys trying different foods.
