Nursery at St Gabriel's

Great nursery. My daughter has attended for more than three years and she loves it. The staff are great and it is very well managed. Lots of good information shared with parents too.

My son has been attending Sandleford from the age of around 1-year-old, 2.5 years on and he still loves it. The transition from the different rooms has been seamless with the help of the friendly, attentive ladies who work there. They made my son feel welcome and made me feel happy enough to walk away knowing that he was in safe hands. The outdoor space is amazing. It's a great place to learn, play and make friends.

I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

The staff genuinely care about the children.

My son (Toddler Room) loves the free flow from indoors to outside, with lots of space to burn off his energy. Teachers from the school take lessons and my son really enjoys storytime with the school librarian. The children also get to explore the school. Both male and female staff which is important. With severe allergies, the nursery has excellent safeguards in place.

Amazing nursery. My daughter is very happy there and her development since attending St Gabriels has been excellent.

Whilst the Headmaster of St Gabriel’s was very helpful when my concerns were raised. My experience of Sandleford for my son was not positive. Their provision for babies is less than adequate and their safeguarding procedures in terms of access to the site caused me undue concern. There were high levels of agency staff and it was never clear whom our key worker was despite requests for clarity. Having moved to another provider - it highlights further how awful the experience of Sandleford was.

I was immediately taken by Sandleford at my first visit. All the staff are genuinely interested in the wellbeing and development of the children there. Their facilities are amazing. Since my child started attending, he has developed by leaps and bounds. More importantly, he always seemed keen to attend and was happy when we pick him up. The food serviced to the children there regularly made me and my husband envious. I feel very fortunate that there is such a good childcare option at our disposal.

Since she has been at Sandleford, our daughter has developed and flourished as never before. She receives keen personal attention from the excellent staff and we receive daily updates. There’s always an opportunity to discuss her progress. The facilities are superb and varied, and the opportunity to explore the grounds as part of her outdoor class. I would highly recommend this nursery.

The best gift I gave to my child so far is by sending him to this nursery. As a child he is learning good manners and etiquettes. Also the progress and growth of my child is commendable. Many thanks to the staff who looks after and take care of my baby.

My three-year-old daughter absolutely loves Sandleford. She wakes up every morning happy to go to school, where she's greeted with genuine warmth by every adult she sees and welcomed into the class with open arms. My husband and I were surprised how easily she took to it since she had never been to the nursery before. She loves the instruction time, the inventive play, and the fact that the play is structured, meaning while the children do have free time to do whatever they wish, they also have designated game time, learning time and rest time. She's making friends and her independence is increasing by the day. We are so impressed that we plan to keep her at St. Gabriel's for her entire academic tenure. We absolutely would recommend Sandleford to anyone who wants a high-quality nursery for their child.

My daughter loves being at nursery, I really like that they always do different activities and have access to big outside spaces and therefore spend lots of time outside.

My son has now been attending the nursery for 2 years and I am constantly surprised by the care and attention provided, the speed in which he is developing and the skills that he is learning.

Not only do they provide a structured day but the interaction with the parents is fantastic. Stay and play mornings for parents and grandparents are a brilliant way in which they engage all carers. Regular meetings are also held to discuss your child's development and key areas in which they are excelling and other areas they may need more help with.

The fact that my son asks to go to nursery at weekends and doesn't want to come home in the evenings is a true testament to the team at Sandleford and that he is having such a great time.

Sandleford nursery and its staff in my eyes are an absolutely amazing team.

Sandleford has wonderful facilities and staff. They have been fantastic during our son's settling in. We can not fault them.

My little one has loved the nursery since day one. Sandleford provides a safe, cosy and very welcoming environment for all age group. Staff is lovingly and always there for you little irrespective of the need.

Great facilities. A happy environment for children and lovely staff all make Sandleford somewhere I feel confident leaving my child.

We are delighted at how quickly our son has settled into Sandleford, St Gabriels. The staff are professional, friendly and flexible and show a genuine interest in the children. Our little boy has really excelled in his development since being at Sandleford, St Gabriels and has made a huge leap in his crawling and walking. He clearly enjoys his time at nursery and we value the regular reviews and feedback on his progress. All of the children appear to be happy and settled at Sandleford, St Gabriels and give everyone a very warm welcome on entering the nursery or a cheerful goodbye when leaving!

I can't rate Sandleford and the staff highly enough. My son's day to daycare has been second to none and he has really blossomed since being at Sandleford. He loves the activities and storytime! The food is also excellent and we always know he's eaten a good healthy meal. He literally can't wait to go every day!

We have recently placed our daughter at Sandleford and have been very impressed with every aspect of this nursery.

I am exceptionally pleased with the care and support provided to my child. He was initially unhappy about attending preschool however he is now very happy to attend and cannot stop talking at the end of each day about the exciting things he has done. The staff are fantastic and know each child so well. I could not recommend enough.
