Atherton House School

We recommend this nursery to everyone!

My child has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Atherton House. She has always looked forward to her nursery days from the time she started. The staff at Atherton have helped prepare her for school transition in a wonderful way. She will miss all her friends and staff at Atherton House.

We have been so happy with the care our son has received from the staff at Atherton House. He goes in happy everyday; they have really got to know him on an individual level, helping to encourage and enhance his interests. All staff, regardless of which room they are based, know the children well - we feel this is a standout feature of the nursery. He is so sad to be leaving. But we know that a lot of what he has learned, both developmentally and socially, is based on the good work carried out by the staff at Atherton House which will prepare him for the transition. More recently they have also organised events like family fun days bringing out a real community feel which we have valued immensely. A fantastic nursery - we would highly recommend.

Couldn't be happier with Atherton House. Our son has attended for just over a year and we feel great knowing how well he is cared for each day he attends. The staff take time to get to know every child and it really shows in how happy they are.

My son has just finished his nursery journey at Atherton House, after three years. He has been looked after so well since his time in the baby room. The experiences and friendships have been so positive and he has had the very best care from all the staff. Atherton is much more than I ever expected. He has grown with confidence, developed so many skills and he has enjoyed every minute. My daughter is about to start her nursery journey with Atherton. I wouldn't trust anyone else, I highly recommend Atherton House.

Both my children have attended Atherton House School from aged 12 months. Both children have been so happy attending there. I have dropped them off knowing they are well looked after and supported in their development. The small size means there is a family feel about the place. Today was my daughter's first day of school and she wanted to go back to Atherton to show them her uniform. We had a lovely welcome as always and a fuss was made including her photo being taken.

Fantastic nursery, every member of staff knows each child and are thoroughly invested in their learning and development. My son has just left and I don’t think he could be better prepared for starting reception. My daughter is about to start in the baby room and will no doubt love nursery as much as her brother. Atherton has fostered really strong relationships with both my son and myself and my husband as parents, I highly recommend it.

Our little boy has just finished Atherton House School after four fantastic years here. He started when he was just ten months and during our time there the staff have become like an extension of our family. I was initially drawn to Atherton House because of how welcoming the staff were at our first visit and I loved that each room has staff of all ages. As our little boy starts school I can hand on heart say that the staff are the heart and soul of Atherton House and contribute to all the children’s development, health and wellbeing. I can not thank them enough for all the support they gave our son through his speech therapy treatment, indeed the staff were the first ones to pick up he had an issue and worked closely with us to ensure he was supported with his speech development during his nursery sessions. I can not recommend Atherton House highly enough.

Fantastic nursery, very efficient and have helped myself and my son settle into nursery life without any fuss.

Atherton House School is a fantastic place. My daughter is thriving here and loves every single day. The staff are wonderful and so welcoming, they know every single child and know all about the team. Thank you for encouraging, supporting and loving my child.

Both of my daughters have attended Atherton House and have been extremely happy there. My youngest daughter is currently in Preschool and she happily skips in each day. She comes home telling me all about the range of activities she has done and the fun she has had (I especially appreciate all the messy activities they do there!) There is a real 'home from home' atmosphere and I will be extremely sad to say goodbye once my daughter leaves. I can't recommend them enough.

My son loved his time at Atherton House School. The staff work extremely hard to ensure that children in their care feel happy, safe and valued. The activities that are planned are excellent and as well as providing numerous educational opportunities they are also enjoyable. Staff take time to understand each child and their needs and interests and they encourage and nurture individually. My son was lucky to attend this nursery. He will miss it very much.

Atherton House and its staff are like family friends. Three of our children have attended and they have always received excellent care and nurturing. There is always a smile to greet you and the staff go to great effort to really know and understand each child. Whenever we have needed flexibility or extra help Atherton will always try to accommodate.
