My daughter started at Nest when she had just turned 3, she is now nearly 4 and loves 'nursery mornings'. The staff are amazing, the setting is perfect and the food is scrumptious. So happy we chose Nest, we looked into many in the area and I think we found the best.

The Nest Nursery really is the best. The care and attention they give the children is amazing. The environment is safe and fun and I love the fact the children have lots of artefacts to freely play with. The staff are brilliant and I feel completely at ease leaving my daughter in their care.

My little girls absolutely loves her two days at The Nest Nursery Pype Hayes. I have complete confidence in all the staff that my little girl comes across. The staff always give me updates on collection of how her day was and I enjoy their tapestry service.

I sought out this nursery after a friend had recommended it. I had 5 nurseries lined up to view before selecting - I left the first almost in tears and I never made it past the second. I was so incredibly impressed by the members of the staff and the general ethos of the place that I felt it really could be a home away from home for my child. He's a very bright little man and I could just see him flourishing in the environment of The Nest. I always feel that my child is carefully taken care of and gently encouraged. Despite the occasional apprehension of being left at nursery ( he has only been going for 3 months) he speaks fondly of staff and takes pleasure in telling me about what has transpired during the day. He loves the outdoors and Nest provides him with ample opportunity to revel in sand and mud! I seriously cannot recommend it enough and I'm already getting excited about my younger son also attended soon!
Lovely, caring nursery. All staff are very kind and easy to approach. The nursery supports my 3-year-old in all aspects of her development. It's like a second home for our child. Couldn't ask any more of the nursery. Very happy with the curiosity approach and how it helps my child to be more...
Lovely, caring nursery. All staff are very kind and easy to approach. The nursery supports my 3-year-old in all aspects of her development. It's like a second home for our child. Couldn't ask any more of the nursery. Very happy with the curiosity approach and how it helps my child to be more curious and independent too. Both of my girls attended their setting and if we were to have more children. They would definitely come to The Nest.
We have had two kids attend this nursery. The staff have been very accommodating to our children and the children who attend. My eldest (now 7) fell in love with one of the staff members and subsequently, our youngest (2) loves her too. Honestly, this is a very good nursery.

Our eight-month-old son started his settle this month. All of the staff made our son feel at ease in his new environment and also helped settle our nerves as parents leaving our child for the first time. The whole vibe and environment of the nursery are fantastic and the staff are professional, attentive and friendly. The activities and play areas are involving and our son cannot wait to explore until his heart's content. We as a family look forward to our son's journey at this fabulous nursery.

When I take my twins to The Nest they can't wait to arrive especially on forest school days or learn and sign and also dancing lessons, they just totally love every minute there.

My child was feeling poorly and the way they cared for my child was impeccable, so loving and comforting, it just felt so nice to think my child felt safe and comforted.

Both my girls have/are gone/going to this nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. From the staff, interaction with the children, the freedom they get rather than being locked in a room like a lot of other nurseries do, all ages play with each other and can literally do and go around the nursery as they please. (With staff supervision of course). My eldest built so much confidence there and friends and I hope to see this with my little one who is currently there now.
The staff are incredible - when I hand my daughter over in the morning, it's like handing her to extending family.

Throughout the years my son has attended nursery. If it were possible I would have my son here past 5 years. This is because I have never once worried about his safety or well-being. The staff are amazing, friendly, welcoming and my son is always excited to be here. His social and mental development is always a priority to The Nest Nursery. When his home life became disrupted the management at the nursery helped him and us above and beyond what is expected. For this I will always be grateful and will recommend The Nest Nursery to anybody I know.
My child went not The Nest Nursery Pype Hayes for 4 years and we all loved it. The staff are amazing and it felt like a home from home. The Nest is run by staff who want children to flourish and learn. I have and will continue to recommend The Nest as an amazing place for children.
