Hydesville Tower School

My son started at the school nursery in September 2023. To say I was anxious could be an understatement. My son was so much behind is his speech and language expression and he is a ball of energy that his other nursery struggled to understand him which caused difficult behaviour for them to manage. I know they wholeheartedly loved him and tried their best but some days I wondered whether that was enough. He is able to read and understand what he reads. Yet, I was told that it's learnt behaviour because I read with him so much at home. I could say coming to Hydesville saved him because he loves learning and there is plenty of opportunities to do so here, with the weekly sound of the week he learns and repeats everything he learns at home. He is kind and caring and am sure it's from the teachers who are also kind and caring towards him. He is still a ball of energy and these moments are channelled into learning opportunities. I'm grateful to the teachers and leadership.

The facilities are very good. Whereas we always had a hard time with drop-offs at our previous nursery, this was not an issue when we started at Hydesville.

My son was at nursery for 2 years and has now moved to reception. This was the best thing I could ever do for my son. He has improved and grown so much just by going to the nursery. The staff are amazing, they work with the children and they teach them how to be independent. Hydesville have a family culture.

This is a wonderful nursery. I am really pleased with the progress my daughter has made since she started a year ago. All staff are amazing and my daughter has a great relationship with them. I do not hesitate in recommending this nursery.

My son has been at the nursery since September 2022. I have nothing but praise for all the staff. He has learnt so much in such a small amount of time and is always excited to attend. The class sizes are small therefore all the children get a lot of individual attention. The staff have a lot of knowledge of my Son interests, likes and dislikes. I would highly recommend Hydesville Tower School.

It’s the best decision we made!

Well, what can I say, what an amazing nursery and school, my daughter simply can’t wait to go to nursery in the morning. Hydesville has made her so confident and outgoing. The level she is at already at the age of 3 years old is exceptional, and this is mainly down to the excellent staff at Hydesville. Every member of staff know all the pupils by name and it has a very welcoming family feel. We are so glad, we chose Hydesville for our daughter's education.

Highly recommend. Thank you to the manager and your amazing team.

Hydesville Tower School Nursery is quite simply the best nursery. I cannot rate it highly enough. My eldest son attended from 2018 and has continued to progress through the school, a decision we made after seeing the exemplary education and care he received at the very earliest experience of his formal education. He left for Reception with such a solid foundation of learning far exceeding that of his peers, this is credited to the nurturing staff- they truly care for each and every child. My youngest son is within the nursery setting now and I wouldn't have chosen a different provider for him, the staff cater to each child's individual needs. The introduction of the parents' app has been wonderful - giving parents daily picture/video updates of the children's activities, added to this is the use of another app where homework can be uploaded and feedback is given - a seamless progression into Reception. The new outdoor classroom has been carefully planned with Early Years as the focus. Thank you, Hydesville!

This school is absolutely excellent, I can't fault anything. My son has been here since he was 2 and loves every second. The staff are amazing and the learning and teaching is outstanding. My child has flourished and I have no doubt he will continue to do so.

The best choice of nursery in the area if you want your child to have the best start in life.

Both of my children have attended Hydesville Tower School. If you are looking for a nurturing and supportive nursery, Hydesville Tower School exceeds this very well. Hydesville Tower School was the first nursery my son attended, starting on a part time basis and progressing to full time after one week. From being a shy little boy he is now full of confidence. As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring to know your child is in a happy, safe and wonderful environment, which Hydesville Tower School has proven to be. The head of nursery and all the Early Years staff provide so much care, attention and positivity. The level of academic learning and child-initiated play is second to none. I feel this nursery speaks for itself when your child bounces out at the end of the day, saying they have had a fantastic day!

My daughter started Hydesville in September 2020. She was at another nursery previously since she was 10 months old, which I thought was good, but this nursery has made me realise what excellent nursery provision is. Her confidence, the structure, the fun... my daughter loves it. The Friday forestry school, ballet Tuesdays, dance Thursdays - it’s fantastic, with structured teaching too. Staff are incredible teachers, and my daughter is lucky to be in her class.

My child has grown so much since starting here and has become such an independent and confident boy. He loves coming to nursery every day. I love seeing all the activities he does on the parents' app - such a varied timetable, from dancing to forestry school. They give homework every Friday which is brilliant as I can work with him at home. Parent consultations are brilliant as I get information on his progress regularly. All the staff are very welcoming and bring the best out of my child. I can’t thank the nursery staff enough as they go above and beyond to support my child and make nursery fun. This is an excellent nursery and I would not hesitate to recommend this to everyone.

My daughter started her nursery journey at another establishment and for many months remained very shy and quiet. Since starting at Hydesville Nursery, she’s really come out of her shell and her confidence has skyrocketed. I’m so impressed with how the nursery team have inspired her willingness to learn. The nursery has also really impressed with the diversity and variety of curriculum they offer. From learning about Navraatri to feeding the ducks and petting visiting animals - my daughter has experienced a wide range of activities, second to none. The nursery has really exceeded my expectations and I’m confident my daughter will get the best possible pre-school experience possible.

Well established a very fun nursery for my 3-year-old. The staff are very friendly and work really well with the children. I have seen a huge difference in my child who just started in September; he is more independent and has already picked up a lot of vital learning abilities within the nursery. Can’t recommend enough, very helpful staff who have made my little one very comfortable in the nursery, recommend to any parent looking for a very good nursery.

Fantastic staff who are supportive. My daughter loves it at nursery and enjoys attending there. Homework is always given and my daughter has progressed so much in such a small space of time. Can’t wait how she gets on by the end of the year.

My older son started nursery in 2015 and is currently in Upper Prep. From the moment he started to this day the staff at Hydesville Tower School have been excellent. My older son was very shy, therefore, choosing the right school was imperative. We looked at various independent schools, some with very impressive facilities. However, it was Hydesville Tower School which as a family we gravitated towards. The warmth that was shown to us, pastoral care and the small setting for class sizes, was exactly what we were looking for as a family. The emphasis also given on the child’s mental wellbeing was also something we wanted. I was given some advice which still rings true to this day “don’t make your child fit into a school, let the school fit around your child”. Therefore, when it came to selecting a school for my younger son, who currently is in nursery, we knew this was the perfect choice. Again, the nursery staff have worked closely with us as a family settling my younger son into a good routine where I can see he is thriving.

My little boy spent almost 2 years in the nursery and I can honestly say that I could not imagine a better place for him than Hydesville Tower School nursery. The head of the nursery and her team work closely with the parents and provide excellent services. My little boy was always happy and excited to go back the next day. He loved the forest school activity and the trips and he was enjoying playing with his little friends. The class was small and the teachers were able to spend enough time with each child individually and in a group. He grew in confidence in his writing and reading and he was well prepared for Reception.

Thank you Hydesville Tower School.
