Review from Lewis D (Father of Child) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've had an excellent experience with this nursery. It's been fantastic for our son's learning and development, and he's always happy and excited to go. The staff are incredibly polite, caring, and always willing to help, which gives us great peace of mind. We couldn't be happier with the care and support they provide, and we'd highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

The only suggestion we'd make is that air conditioning in the rooms would be a great addition during the summer months. It would help keep both the children and the staff more comfortable on particularly hot days.

Reply from Diane Medd, Manager at Spring Nursery Layfield

Hi Lewis,

Thanks for the lovely review, I will share it with the team. Thankfully we have some air conditioning units on order for the nursery, hopefully they are arrive soon.

Overall Experience

Absolutely lovely nursery. My daughter loves going there, the practitioners always put together exciting and educational activities. All practitioners are highly invested in my daughter's development, the management is very responsive. The meals are varied, healthy and, based on my daughter's appetite, very tasty.

Review from F D (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is a wonderful nursery with truly supportive staff. We've had such a positive experience with them since our son joined earlier this year. He settled so quickly thanks to the team (as did I!). We really feel like they have made the time to get to know him as an individual and it shows in the updates we get.

The team communicate well with us and are very responsive, which gives us true peace of mind.

The activities they get involved in are so creative and varied. One highlight is definitely the outdoor play opportunities as our son loves being outside and getting messy. We also joke that our son eats better than we do.

He cannot wait to go to nursery, usually waving goodbye prematurely to us! If he is happy, we are happy.

Review from P W (Mother of Child) published on 11 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Spring is such a lovely wee nursery. The practitioners are thoughtful, lovely, kind and funny. The activities are engaging and ever changing. I don't know where they get all their ideas from. I love how there is a focus on supporting the children to love to read. The weekly focus on one specific books supports language development well. The kids get to go on trips to the library and fun activities based around the book of the week. The kids are outside as much as humanly possible. I have found that practitioners get to know the kids well and focus learning activities tailored to the child's individual interests. I will be really sad when my son goes to school and has to leave Spring.

Review from S S (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery for over a year now. I was naturally quite nervous about him starting, but the transition process was incredibly reassuring. I was invited to settling-in sessions, which gave me the opportunity to see firsthand just how warm and caring the environment is. The staff took the time to answer all of my questions and immediately put my mind at ease.

He absolutely loves going to nursery. The team are so friendly, thoughtful and caring. We receive thorough handovers at pick-up, along with regular updates through the app. It's so reassuring to see how much fun he's having, as well as information about how much he has eaten and slept throughout the day.

It's such a supportive and nurturing environment, and I couldn't be happier with the care he receives.

Review from P S (Mother of Child) published on 5 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I first visited Spring while exploring childcare options ahead of returning to work. I was anxious, emotional, and full of questions, the manager was incredibly kind and reassuring, answering everything and immediately putting me at ease.
My daughter started at Spring at 10 months old, and I genuinely don't think I could have found a more wonderful nursery. Nine months on, she runs in every morning without a backward glance and comes home full of joy.
As an anxious parent, I've felt fully supported. No question has ever been dismissed, and I've never felt silly for calling or checking in. The staff are truly exceptional, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my daughter.
Every member of the baby room team has been amazing, and I have no doubt her experience will continue to be just as positive as she moves into the next stage.

Thank you to all of the staff at Spring, the impact you make is truly invaluable.

Review from L K (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I'm so glad I made the decision to have my little girl in this nursery, she's been in this nursery from the age of 2 and will be leaving to go into reception at layfield.All of the staff are amazing and have helped my daughter so much ,the way they have supported with the transition to reception has been fab. The fact the nursery is open all year round is great as I work full time and I don't have enough holidays to cover all the school holidays ,I would have been lost without them . Updates come regular on the app but I know staff are available to talk to if I have any questions. Thank you to everyone at spring .

Overall Experience

My daughters have been at the nursery since 2022. I can't fault the place. The staff are experienced, approachable and friendly. Both girls have always run in without any bother. They have made friends and taken the first steps in their education in a secure environment which has helped make them confident and happy.

The staff at Spring Layfield are fantastic. They look after our boys with such care and attention, and we feel they are truly invested in the boy's development and happiness. The app is always updated with pictures and activities to help us understand what the kids have been up to. All the staff are really friendly and are happy to talk about any extra support they can offer the children.

Review from A S (Mother of Child) published on 7 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attended on and off since she was about 8 months old. She learnt so much and really enjoys her sessions. Made great friends, connected with the staff and gained a lot of confidence. She is in reception now and we still use the service during the term breaks. Staff are always very friendly and helpful, nothing is too much of a problem. Would definitely recommend.

Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are absolutely fantastic with my little girl! They give updates every day along with pictures on the app every other month or week, I know exactly what she's eaten and how much, she loves going to nursery seeing all her friends.
She is a medical baby and the staff know everything about her medical history, administer meds when required and if necessary inform me when she is not acting herself. They offer a variety of food and snacks throughout the day.

My daughter loves all the activities and all the different things they do each day. She is absolutely thriving - she knows sign language and the staff encourage her to use this along with her words!

Review from Abi B (Mother of Child) published on 11 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Absolutely recommend this fantastic nursery, my son loves to go and has the loveliest time whilst there. We get updates throughout the day on basic necessities (feeding, sleeping, toilet etc) and then frequent updates on his learning journey throughout his time there. The communication app is so easy to use and will even let you add your own home learning to it. The staff are always friendly and happy to help, I know that when I drop my son off he's guaranteed to be safe, loved and happy.

Review from Paddy B (Great Uncle of Child) published on 7 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of the children love going to nursery and have built great relationships with the carers/staff often coming home and speaking about how good of a day they have had! Even though the nursery isn't the closest to us in distance we would still choose to take the children there due to the high quality of the nursery and would recommend it to anyone.

Both my boys have attended Spring and have settled amazingly well. The staff are friendly, approachable and always helpful. Both of them have come on leaps and bounds are are happy when I pick them up. Communication is excellent, and I always get a swift response from the staff. I know they are safe and content. Can’t thank the staff enough.

Review from Sue B (Grandmother of Child) published on 9 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can’t thank the staff at Spring enough. My granddaughter has gone to Spring for two and half years and would continue to go, but starts full time school in September. She will still attend through the school holidays, as she enjoys being there, and possibly some after school sessions. The staff are all fantastic and the nursery is a lovely place for children of all ages. Extremely highly recommended for anyone looking for child care, look no further.

Overall Experience
We have had such a wonderful time at Spring Layfield. I have had 2 children go through the nursery and they have both loved every minute.
The range of activities they do is wonderful. My daughter has greatly enjoyed her visits to the library, allotment and forest school.
You couldn’t ask for more caring, thoughtful and kind staff.

We are going to miss them as my daughter moves to start primary school. Spring Layfield has given her the best possible start and we are extremely grateful to them.
