Nursery at St Gabriel's

Since starting nursery in September, my daughter has become more confident and outgoing. I initially gave her until Christmas to settle into the nursery, but within a few short weeks, she had settled, far better than I first thought. The nursery staff are so welcoming, especially in the mornings, making hand over easier, on both myself and my daughter. Receiving picture updates throughout the day makes me incredibly happy that is involved in a variety of activites during the day. I'm so glad I chose St Gabriel's nursery for my daughter, she is thriving.

The level of care provided is exceptional - from the thoughtfully designed facilities and expansive outdoor space to the genuine attentiveness and warmth of the staff. It's clear that every detail has been considered to create a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for children.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to other parents. If you're looking for a place that feels like a home away from home, where your child is so happy they often don't want to leave, then this is the perfect choice.

Welcoming, supportive, nurturing environment. Our Daughter settled super quickly and she is very happy every day - a great reflection of the wonderful staff. Good communication. Fun activities, caring staff

Wonderful staff who give our daughter so much care and attention. She gets so excited to see nursery everyday and it's fantastic to see all the fun activities they prepare for the kids each week. I wouldn't want her anywhere else.

We have been really impressed with this nursery. Our daughter moved seamlessly from her previous nursery to this one. All the staff are professional, fun and approachable. We can see how she is being prepared for school as her letter and number recognition, pencil grip etc are developing all the time. It appears they really utilise the space they have around the school too, being outside as much as possible: She enjoys walks around the lakes and fields, visits to the infant school for stories, gym in the sports hall and playing on the park. It's a fantastic nursery that we highly recommend to our friends and family.

The staff at St.Gabriel's are truly the heart of this nursery :) They are professional, highly skilled and genuinely caring. As a Mum, I feel at ease knowing my daughter is in such capable and kind hands. The nursery's infrastructure is also top notch, with bright, clean and safe spaces that allow the children to explore and learn freely. The staff really does take the time to get to know each child individually!

Our daughter has thrived at this nursery over the past three months. The staff are caring, communicative, and really go above and beyond. Facilities and activities are fantastic and have helped her hit milestones quickly. We love how well they understand her individual needs, and the parent updates and review meetings are so valuable. Couldn't be happier with the care provided.

The nursery is outstanding. They go the extra mile to ensure you are well informed about your child and their development. The opportunities for parents to be involved are well organised and the communication from Management about the nursery as a whole is very informative.

Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff at St Gabriel's Nursery. Your dedication and care make a world of difference to our family!

The grounds and facilities help allow our children to develop in all aspects of their day.

Will always recommend St Gabriel's Nursery, we're really happy!

The nursery at St Gabriel’s is a fantastic setting. Warm, friendly staff, who are great with the children and very experienced. They do lots of learning through play and fun activities which vary all the time. The children are very happy and content and my third child is currently in pre-school and loves it. I have always recommended this nursery and will continue to do so.

We have been really pleased with our daughter’s first year in the baby room and how the staff helped to settle her in. She has now recently moved up to the toddler room and is having such a great time and we enjoy hearing about what she got up to during the day from her and on the app. We have always found the staff to be so friendly and caring and therefore we do not hesitate in recommending St Gabriel’s Nursery.

Our son started Nursery at St Gabriel's last September (in toddler's room. Now in pre-school) and we had little bit difficult transition journey. However, the support that we got from the nursery was amazing. With their warm and friendly approach to kids, my son started to go to nursery willingly. They also provide lots of different good quality activities to children which helps them to improve their development while the children enjoy their time in the nursery. I am also so happy with his key person. She sees every detail, follows-up all the points that require little support and shares feedback constantly. Moreover, helps my son to develop his skills in a very nice way. In a nutshell, could not be happier with St Gabriel's Nursery.

St Gabriel's is full of excellent practitioners who have really excelled at ensuring our daughter has the best time learning through play. Whenever we mention something we think we'd like a focus on, whether that's counting or potty training, they come on board 100%. Issues and injuries are always dealt with as I would expect. I high recommend this nursery where the outside space and desire to get outdoors is incredibly commendable.

My daughter attends Nursery at St. Gabriel’s and loves everything about it. Staff are incredibly friendly, kind and caring. I feel that they are giving my daughter the best start to school life and education. They were incredibly supportive with her transition from the baby room into the toddler room, and I know the same support and kindness will be given when it’s time to move to the preschool room. Thank you all, for everything you do.

As a retired headmistress of a nursery, pre~prep and prep school I have nothing but praise for Nursery at St Gabriel’s. I was an inspector of Early Years in the independent sector and, in this capacity, am aware of the statutory requirements for this age group. From day one my grandson has been very happy to go to nursery, being welcomed by approachable, understanding staff. The facilities provided are excellent, activities are well planned and all equipment seems to be well maintained. Communication from the key worker and the school is very good, with regular updates and photographs of my grandson’s progress. He is now two years old having stared at St Gabriel’s when he was 11 months, throughout this the staff have been supportive and understanding when we became aware that he was diagnosed as being lactose intolerant, ensuring that his meals and ‘cooking sessions’ were adapted to his needs. I have no reservations in recommending the nursery for this prestigious award.

We have been delighted with our child’s care at St Gabriel’s Nursery. The staff are hugely supportive and work closely with us in our child’s learning and development. The care is excellent and I have been so grateful for the team keeping in touch with me as needed. Our child has allergies and the nursery has managed this brilliantly with care and helpful observations. The nursery uses an app which is very useful to monitor sleep and food intake, as well as lovely photos and updates during the day. The most important thing to us is that the team know our child well and are able to treat him like an individual.

My son is attending St Gab's. The staff are very friendly and they make sure to use all the facilities and stuff that the school they are in has to offer. I am very happy to see my son’s development with them.

Care that goes above and beyond and a real sense that staff care about your child and really want to do the best by them. A joint team between staff and parents.
