Review from Berlinda S (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery is the best would recommend to any mother. The staff are very nice, friendly and supportive. My son has really improved greatly ever since he came to the school, he really enjoys school. The daily learning and fun activities have improved his concentration, made him comfortable around others and more vocal.

Review from Irene B (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been at this nursery since she was a year old, and I must say, that I have never regretted my decision to choose them. As a first-time parent, we are all a little anxious about leaving our bundle of joy, in other people's hands, but three years on, I have grown close to all of the staff, and my child's development and social skills are well and truly advanced. I appreciate the daily feedback on my child that I receive, whether good or bad, and the staff genuinely care. I didn't want to just have people around my child because it was just a job to them, but I can truly see that they are all very passionate people. I have also made some amazing friends with the mums and dads. I am sad to be leaving them soon. Trust me! This is a very lovely nursery.

Review from M A (Father of Child) published on 4 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

At first, I didn't expect my daughter to get familiar with the nursery because she was always crying and very scared sleeping, but now when you tell her that you not going to nursery, the way she looks at you, she starts to cry, now is the opposite. Thank you very much for what you are doing.

Reply from Lisa Kingston, Manager at Yarnton Way Nursery

Thank you for your review. I am glad that she has now changed and enjoys coming to nursery.

Review from C A (Mother of Child) published on 1 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I think, overall, the nursery is good. My only issue is sometimes we are kept waiting outside the school gate for too long before being buzzed in, even though we've been asked not to use the main gate. Apart from that, everything seems ok for me.

Reply from Lisa Kingston, Manager at Yarnton Way Nursery

Thank you for your feedback. At times, myself and the assistant manager have to cover ratio's in the room and are not able to be in the office. I recommend that parents call the nursery phone to alert us that you are at the gate. We could speak to the school about getting an intercom installed in the rooms.

Review from Preeti B (Mother of Child) published on 1 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I chose this nursery following a recommendation from a friend, and really glad I made the choice. There is a warm and caring environment for kids. My daughter absolutely loves it! She did go through the initial settling-in challenges, but all staff were supportive throughout. My daughter is now ready to transition to reception and will surely miss Yarnton Way! Would definitely recommend other parents.

Reply from Lisa Kingston, Manager at Yarnton Way Nursery

Thank you for your feedback. The staff will try and make settling plans individual for each child. I am pleased that she is ready for her next journey.

Review from Danni N (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When my son first started going last year, he was terrified due to never leaving me. Now he's happy to go to school and enjoys talking about his friends. His speech has improved so much. His knowledge and development have exceeded so much, and I'm so proud of him for how far he's come. The staff go out of their way to inform me of any activities and snack times. They are so lovely and polite, no matter the time of day, and always make the effort. Even in the mornings when my son attends, all the parents say good morning and are all friendly! I have no complaints at all.

Review from Vim M (Mother of Child) published on 1 June 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child started nursery recently and he really loves it. He can't wait to go on his allocated days and he enjoys every moment he spends there. Staff are very kind and helpful and the environment is very good for children, it promotes their learning and development. I love the App too and it is very informative. It is a pleasure to take my child each morning because I know he will be well cared for and this is the best place where my child can be.

Overall Experience

All the practitioners are very friendly and make the environment safe and welcoming to the children. My son enjoys coming to the nursery. My older daughter also finished from this nursery, she still gets very excited seeing the practitioners that taught her. I am pleased with my son's progress as his keyworker keeps updated and we work together to support my son to achieve his learning goals.

Review from Deborah A (Mother of Child) published on 26 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since my son has started this nursery, his behaviour has changed, he is a good listener, his communication has improved a lot and the area of his learning has improved as well. He can count numbers and knows his colours and so on. Each time my son goes to nursery and comes home, he is always happy and he is always looking forward to the next day. Nursery (staff) always updates me on what happens within the nursery if he hates himself or others issues. And also update me of any observations that staff have to carry out on him. I’m always informed of any changes.

Thank you for your kind review. We will continue to support your son's development.

My child has been attending the nursery for 2 years and loves it. My child looks forward to going into nursery daily and that gives me great comfort knowing how happy they are there. The staff are great and have assisted well in nurturing my child. I would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents.

Review from Priscella (Mother of Child) published on 17 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Started with a very warm welcome and now 1 year further. Staff are so caring even those from other groups. My son is enjoying every 3 day of the week that he goes.
All the activities they do I get to see them and not to forget that through an app I can follow how he has been doing.

I wouldn't have found a better nursery(2nd home).

Reply from Lisa Kingston, Manager at Yarnton Way Nursery

Thank you for your kind review. We will continue to support and provide care for your child, and continue to share his development and activities via the app.

I can not recommend Yarnton Way Nursery enough. My daughter went there for about three years and has come on massively and I believe that is massively down to the staff at Yarnton Way. The staff are amazing and I can’t thank them enough for all they have done for my daughter and we will both miss everyone loads.

I am so pleased to have chosen Yarnton Way Nursery for my son. Since he started at 18 months he has flourished using vocabulary beyond his years, recognising emotions and making friends. The staff and management have been exceptionally supportive and I truly believe that my son couldn't be in better hands. I look forward to a continued relationship with Yarnton Way Nursery.

2 of my children both went to the nursery from baby room to preschool room and I can honestly say they have both thoroughly enjoyed the nursery and its staff! I love the staff. I have a great friendship with all of them and a very firm relationship with the manager. I will recommend the nursery to all. :)
