Nursery at St Gabriel's

Our Daughter started with St Gabriel’s in September and we have been very impressed with every aspect so far. After mentioning to the nursery our Daughter wasn’t meeting some of her developmental milestones, the staff were 100% on board with ensuring they had all the information they needed from us to best support her in her development. We are happy to see she’s settling in and making lots of progress in all aspects of development. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly and will go above and beyond to support your child’s needs.

Both my children attend/attended the nursery (one gone to school). St Gabriel's offer great value for money for the care provided and what activities they do with the children. My eldest learnt French and was also taught P.E on a weekly basis. The staff are wonderful and both children love/loved it.

It has been a great experience from the beginning. Very caring and professional staff in St. Gabriel's. They have been very supportive during many stages of our little one since he was two. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Our daughter started at St Gabriels in January 2023 when she was just over 7 months old. The staff in the baby room are incredible - they keep the app updated so we know when she has slept and eaten and also they do some great activities and post pictures to keep us updated. Our daughter's key person always knows what our daughter has been up to that day and our daughter always seems so happy after a full day at nursery! I also think that it has helped improve her awareness of things going on around her and her socialisation. We also think that it is fantastic that they put on various events for grandparents and parents and are looking forward to the easter egg hunt around the grounds!

The activities they get up to are brilliant! Lots of crafts and learning opportunities. After only a short time, they've seen fire engines, police cars, cows, and lots of walks around the grounds in the pram, to name a few. Highly rate the Baby Room. The staff in this room are angels, and so far, we feel we've made the best decision to be here.

My daughter has been going to St Gabriels for more than a year now. She is more confident, happy and loves to learn new things. I am very much impressed with the preschool staff; they helped my daughter gain confidence and socialise. Highly recommended nursery!

Could not be happier with St Gabriels Nursery. They have made us all feel so welcome. My daughter has settled in so well. She loves coming to nursery with a huge smile on her face. We have regular updates on how our daughter is getting on and what she gets up to when she is in. She loves telling us about her day, and she has experienced so many fantastic things since she started.

Overall, we're really pleased: he's happy, safe and making friends. Thanks, St Gabriels!

St Gabriels Nursery has been fantastic for our son. From his first day, his key worker has been updating us on his progress at drop-offs and through the portal. He enjoys every day, and we're particularly happy they get them outside for bear hunts/Gruffalo walks in all weathers. Overall, the nursery has been fantastic for his development.

The staff are always caring and keen to help, and if you have a problem, it is taken care of straight away. The nursery is a lovely environment for them, and this shows when they come out and say what a great day they have had!

An exceptional preschool when it comes to preparing the children for school. The teaching of numbers, languages, letter recognition and various educational topics is fantastic. They have such lovely facilities for outside play, and the food is so very good. We feel really included as parents through the parent portal. Also, the nativity was beautiful. Such a wonderful team who all work so hard!

The activities carried out by the nursery are really impacting my child's development, and I am very happy about this. She is learning a lot and becoming more and more self-sufficient. The staff has helped my child settle in very quickly, offering support and caring as needed.

I'm happy to say the staff who look after my son have been brilliant; they have settled him in very well, and they cuddle him if he feels sad and misses me, which is a great comfort to him. He now enjoys going to preschool, and dare I say, he even looks forward to going now. He has made some new friends, some of which will be joining him going forward to St Gabriels next year for reception. My son comes running out of school happy, telling me what he and his friends have been up to; he speaks French and sings new songs. He's also trying new foods, which is great.

We couldn’t be happier with Sandleford nursery and have recommended it to so many friends. Our little boy started in June and has settled in really quickly, thanks to such a wonderful and caring team in the baby room. Now that he’s settled into the routine, his face lights up at drop-off when he’s greeted at the door, which is lovely to see. We’ve both noticed such a positive change in his confidence since he’s been at Sandleford! The activities are always varied, and we really like their approach to development. We feel very fortunate that he attends this nursery.

My son has been at Sandleford, St Gabriels now for three months. Thanks to the wonderful team, he has settled in perfectly at the baby nursery. He is always happy when I collect him and has really grown into the environment during the short period which he has been there. The staff are extremely helpful, and the online system is great for keeping us up to date with what they are up to.

Lovely place for little ones to be in. The staff is very friendly, kind and caring. They helped my little girl to be confident, be her own, and made her feel happy. When she was introduced to Sandleford first time, she started not being very happy as she had been at home all along since birth, and then with Covid - but with the wonderful support from the staff, she now really loves being there. They do share pictures of the various activities done at the nursery as part of the daily routines, which is really wonderful to see, and they keep us informed, and the feedback sessions have been really useful ones. I would highly recommend this nursery based on our experience.

This has been by far the best nursery our child has attended. They really care and have a nurturing approach to development. Our child has grown in confidence and loves it. I would highly recommend.

Excellent nursery. Both my children started when they were just under a year old and moved through from ‘babies’ to ‘preschoolers’. It has set my eldest up very well for the transition to school last September, and he had a head start with reading and maths in particular. Would thoroughly recommend!

Sandleford Nursery provides a great childhood experience for my daughter. Activities are varied and encourage personal growth. At drop off her face lights up when she sees the staff and at collection she's charged with positive energy.
