Review from Jennifer R (Mother of Child) published on 1 March 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We currently send our 16 month old daughter to Twinkles Nursery in Knaresborough and I can honestly say that it has been one of the most fantastic experiences for her. She was quite a nervous child in new surroundings with new people when I first started back at work and she started nursery. The nursery team helped her to settle in really quickly and she now doesn't look back when walking through the door. Just the mention of her key worker or any member of the team in her room and she beams. Her development has come on in leaps and bounds and she has grown in confidence meaning she's now enjoying so many more new experiences. The nursery ensure that every day is different, taking the children out for trips, planning new games and activities inside and out, they even have external companies who come in to run singing classes etc which the children love. We have been so pleased with Twinkles and it makes leaving our daughter to go to work bearable and sets my mind at ease.

Overall Experience

Lovely, modern setting and great management team. Although the outdoor area is not huge, they certainly maximise the usage. Whenever we had any queries, we are always made welcome to discuss with child's key worker or with the management team.

Excellent setting. Lovely friendly staff. Nice surroundings. My daughter loves the regular walks into Knaresborough. Support and advice always available.

My child's learning is always extended from current interests at home. She is always happy eager to attend and I leave her happy and smiling on a morning.

Overall Experience

All the staff at Twinkles are exceptionally welcoming and it's clear to see that they are all highly professional but also love their job. The overall atmosphere has helped my little girl settle in very quickly and start to flourish into the toddler she's becoming. The bond she's developed with her key worker is lovely to see and when I drop her off on a morning I leave knowing she's being looked after reading by someone that's both capable and caring.

Overall Experience

My child is always happy to go to Twinkles. The days my child doesn't go she often asks to go to Twinkles. As I parent, I feel very happy and safe to leave my child at Twinkles. The key person that we are dealing with is fab, she is really helping my child with learning new skills.

Review from Sarah T (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I'm really happy with how my son is coming along at nursery. Every time I pick him up he wants to stay and play. He talks all the time about what he has been doing at nursery and the friends he has made. He really enjoys the activities that the nursery nurses provide. So far this month he has learned about the Chinese new year, made, ate pancakes and had a pancake race, read the jolly postman and acted it out, played outside and made obstacles. He loves soccer tots and likes to re enact his lesson at home with me playing him and my son playing the part of the teacher! He is becoming really good at counting since moving up to shooting stars and loves to play on the big tablet. I am always made to feel welcome when I drop and pick him up. All of the employees know him by name and always say hello to him. I love the self registration and the question they answer on the light table. I feel the nursery values our opinions and is always sending us up to date information on a range of topics.
