Fennies Horley, Albert Road

According to me, the staff are really good and my child gets settled once she’s with her teacher. I can see so much improvement in my child after she started the preschool. Overall, we are happy and satisfied.

My wife and I had concerns about sending our daughter at an early age, as she was premature and very close to us both but Fennies Horley ticked all the boxes for us and when our daughter started. We can’t praise the team enough for going out of their way to help her settle in. They have helped us develop our baby into a lovely little girl and she can’t wait to go to nursery for the lovely home cooked nutritionally balanced meals, facilities and wonderful staff she loves to learn from.

My son has been going to Fennies Horley since December last year, having recently moved into the area. He has settled in well and absolutely loves it there, upon joining he was made so welcome by everyone. The staff are all amazing and very caring. I'm always very impressed at all the activities they do. There is so much creative play and fun, as well as interesting ways to learn and engage the children. They have an excellent garden space which they make full use of. The staff are great at keeping the app updated with all the daily activities and fun photos so I always feel connected. The staff at Fennies Horley have also achieved what I was beginning to feel was impossible and that is getting my extremely fussy son to try and eat new foods. What they have achieved with him so far is amazing. Overall I can't recommend this nursery enough.

Our daughter loves to go to Fennies Horley! She had started over a year ago and every day she comes back satisfied from her day in preschool. We had a tough year but the management and staff have been fantastic throughout the pandemic, with great, physical support in school and online for children who were isolating. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely would recommend Fennies to all parents looking for childcare. Both my children are very settled within the nursery the youngest being 10 months, gets super excited when pulling up each morning to go in (That says a lot)! The staff are all very caring and make the girl's daily experience very comforting. Making both my girls so settled within the Fennies environment. Both my girls are excelling for the ages. With my 3 year old now speaking and singing in Spanish! Fennies is a very professionally run nursery, having dealt with the Covid situation in the past year amazingly. The team have made us feel reassured all the way through and confident for our children to still attend. I would 100% recommend any child joining this wonderful setting.

Fennies Horley has been the absolute best decision. My son is so happy in the setting and has built the most wonderful bond with his key person, who is honestly such an asset to Fennies Horsley. We have needed some support over the last few months and the management have been so wonderful. I cannot recommend this nursery more.

My daughter has been attending Fennies Horley since she was nine months old, she is now three and will soon be going off to primary school. I cannot thank Fennies Horley enough for every single thing that they have done for my daughter. She is so smart, intelligent and so positive! I love hearing about her day when we are walking home. The staff are so kind and supportive. I recommend Fennies Horley to any person that asks me about childcare. When my daughter leaves I’m not sure who will miss the staff more, me or her!

Going from lockdown to nursery in a new area was such a daunting thought. My baby had barely left my side, and I was just as nervous as him! I couldn’t have felt more reassurance from the team at Fennies Horley. He took a little while to settle in, but we received updates and photos showing him getting more and more confident by the day. When I drop him off now he barely looks back! He absolutely loves his days at Fennies and has come on in leaps and bounds. Nothing is too much trouble, and the teamwork so hard to make sure everyone has a wonderful time whilst upholding fantastic safety standards during Covid. The nutrition is brilliant, and the chef is always making exciting new dishes. Starting nursery is a big decision and a huge change, but our transition was made so much easier by Fennies. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Fennies is a lovely nursery with lovely and caring teachers, and my daughter is very happy there. Fennies have responded very well to the Covid crisis by making all the necessary changes to the rooms in order to accommodate children of key workers as well as the bubble system introduced by the government. As my husband and I are both key workers, my daughter attempted nursery during the national lockdown as I always felt confident to send her into the nursery. The only thing that is not ideal is the frequent change of staff between rooms. My daughter has been at Fennies for a year and a term now and she’s on her 5th key person, which, in my view, is a little too many for the length of time that she’s attended the setting.

Our daughter joined the Explorers room straight after the first lockdown. At 1 year old, she couldn't remember what it was like to be around other babies or people, so we knew settling her into a nursery was going to be challenging, particularly because I couldn't be there with her during the settling in period. The management team were so flexible to allow our daughter to take her time and build up her confidence being around new people. The Explorers team were so caring, giving our daughter lots of cuddles and attention. It then wasn't long before our daughter was happy to walk into the nursery with a smile on her face! She absolutely loves going to nursery and the amazing team who look after her. She has grown in confidence, is a little chatterbox at home and has learned so many new skills. We are relocating and so sad to leave Fennies. I don't think we could have found a better nursery and more caring team to look after our daughter. Thank you so much!

Absolutely brilliant!

Fennies is a lovely nursery for our two-year-old son - he's been there since he was ten months old and we are very happy with all that the wonderful team do for him. They take us along on their journey with him and we appreciate all the little extras, they really do go above and beyond for him. He's made so much progress and it's all down to the wonderful team and their management. A big thank you, as always you're the best.

I am very pleased with Fennies, my son started at Fennies when he was 1 year old, he is now 4 and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are very friendly, management very helpful and I am confident that my son is well looked after. Fennies Horley is fantastic, would highly recommend.

Excellent service my baby wants to go to the nursery and play with her friends and the staff.

The rooms are so well presented and I can see what things she is doing in the day. My little one seems to really like the food and always eats her food and the chef is catering to her weaning needs.

I am really impressed with Fennies in Horley and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any of my friends.

He loves his friends at nursery and often talks about the staff that have had a positive impact on his day.

Staff have always been very friendly and can tell my son aged 16 months really loves it at Fennies. The team have been very supportive, bringing out the best in my son and feel very comfortable leaving him at the trusted Fennies. The level of communication on a daily and monthly basis has been brilliant. At first, when I visited I was concerned the outdoor area was too small. However, they make up for it with trips out and about and make good use of the space, plus inside makes up for it. Overall very pleased.

Fennies Nursery in Horley is an amazing nursery. The nursery itself is spotless, bright and beautiful and the staff are a wonderfully social and a friendly team. They are very accommodating and understanding and always happy to have a chat with the parents and children. My daughter is just turning 2 and has been with this nursery since she was 13 months old. She started out in the "baby room" and has recently just moved to the "toddler room". She has been cared for like she's one of their own, with plenty of cuddles and affection, but she has also developed beyond what I could have hoped. She's learned so much and her eating has greatly improved since starting at the nursery (an award winning children's cookery book writer has personally designed their menus for all ages). I've watched her grow under the team's guidance and nurturing. My partner and I couldn't be happier with our daughter's progress and treatment at this nursery. Would highly recommend.

My child loves coming here, he loves the staff and looks forward to being dropped off. I feel his needs are completely catered for and nothing is ever too much trouble. The staff are always polite and helpful and the manager is always visible. I have used other nurseries previously and this one definitely shone through. Great work guys.
