LEYF - Conservatoire Nursery & Pre-school

All 3 of us had a fantastic experience with the nursery so we highly recommend it.

Overall I am so pleased that we chose the Conservatoire Nursery, it was without a doubt the right choice for my daughter and I would 100% recommend it!

Fantastic nursery with a personal feel, our daughter is always excited to go! The staff are all great, clearly very caring and dedicated, and easy to deal with. Outdoor space is big enough with a nice range of activities. Food also seems to be great.

We’re delighted with The Conservatoire! Our son has been there for a year and in that time we’ve seen him flourish. It’s no wonder because the staff are exceptional; friendly, attentive, thorough and, most importantly, they care deeply about the children. Our son does a wide range of activities, which the staff update us on at pick-up (and we love seeing more via the app at the end of the week). We also love that the team involve parents, from suggestions for small weekend activities to build on what the children have done in the week, through to the Mother’s and Father’s Day breakfasts. The yearly summer party gives a fantastic opportunity to get to know the team better, but also other parents, which we appreciate, too. Finally, the team take our son’s allergy very seriously and are incredibly diligent with all food, including adapting recipes for cooking activities so he can still take part. We adore the team and would recommend The Conservatoire in a heartbeat!

Brilliant nursery, our very shy daughter, who we couldn’t get settled in her previous nursery, took to Conservatoire almost immediately, we have not looked back since. The food is good and the day is filled with activities, so our daughter loves it.

Our daughter has been at Conservatoire for a year and she has really thrived there. The activities are both creative and challenging. The children also spend lots of time in the garden and even take trips to the Heath, duck pond and other places, which really promotes their independence. It’s been incredible to see her development over her time there. She has become close friends with her peers and developed a lovely bond with her teachers. I also appreciate how communicative and inclusive the nursery is when it comes to parents. From sports days to picnics, there are several opportunities and events throughout the year to engage with your child, the staff and other parents.

My son has been at the nursery since he was a baby, he is now four and set to leave for school. He absolutely loves going to nursery. The staff are amazing- they made the settling-in process easier, they handled the lockdown situation brilliantly, they provide creative activities daily, and they’ve really got to know our son. We are so happy we chose this nursery.

Thank you so much to all the staff and management for taking such good care of my son!

We are extremely happy with the Conservatoire Nursery, and would highly recommend it to anyone. Our 1-year-old son could not be any happier when we leave him in the morning! The staff are always happy and very welcoming, and the daily activities always seem to be fun whilst developing the children and the food is great!

Highly recommended.

There are no improvements I could suggest. Very happy in all regards.

Lovely, friendly and caring staff, our daughter loves it! All the staff are welcoming and plan fun activities for the children every day and the food is varied and yummy. The garden is our daughter's favourite place!

The staff are genuinely caring and loving and they really do their best for the children in their charge.

We have had children at this nursery since 2015 when it opened, highly recommend.

We are thankful to the entire team and lucky to have this opportunity.

My daughter attends the Conservatoire Nursery and my son spent over 2 happy years there. Initially, I started both children elsewhere but I was never really at ease and was immediately relieved once I'd moved them here. My children were instantly much happier. The rooms (especially baby and toddler) are small so they remain calm and not overwhelming. Upon entering the rooms, visually there is not as much stimulation as some other establishments, but this considered and has been proven to be less distracting and more restful. Each day interesting and stimulating activities are planned to aid development and children go out in the garden. I miss the events I used to attend with my son and feel I know fewer parents than I did then but that is COVID's fault, not the nursery's! There are regular weekly communications with parents and daily updates on the app. Staff are great and the most important thing I can say is that you never hear a child crying - surely a good sign!

My two children have attended the Conservatoire Nursery for four years between them so far. The Conservatoire is a great all-round nursery and we have been very happy with everything over the years. Most importantly the kids absolutely love their time there. The staff are wonderful and really care about the children they look after. Many of the current staff have been at the Conservatoire since my daughter first joined over three years ago, and this provided great continuity for her as she moved through the age groups. The Conservatoire is a brilliant nursery and I don’t have anything negative to say about it.

The care that my child has received has been fantastic. Staff are warm, welcoming and have established a great routine and rules. The initial settling in period was difficult (separation anxiety - more foe me!) but at pick up, my child was always happy, energetic and content. Any issues that have arisen have been dealt with quickly, professionally and with sensitivity. Families are made to feel part of the Conservatoire community and the environment of fun, education and structure has been a pleasure to be part of. The nursery policies are strict which is important. The management is excellent, approachable and responsive. There are some really incredible staff members, such as his key worker who my child utterly adores. I would highly recommend the Conservatoire so much so that I have deferred my child's place at a local nursery so that they can spend more time at the Conservatoire. A huge thank you to the whole team.

A friendly caring environment that my daughter loves. Always a happy child when I pick her up. The staff clearly love what they do and it shows in the results. A happy place with good learning and social skills development.

Amazing caring, creative and responsive environment. All the staff get to know the children so well and the activities they plan really enrich the learning experiences of the young people in their care. Love the atmosphere of the nursery and also the commitment to inclusive learning and environmental issues.

Transitions like that are always worrying but the staff at the Conservatoire made it all go smoothly. They made sure he had some of his favourite toys for him on his first day and he settled in easily. He’s always happy when we pick him up and is clearly really enjoying it. His speech has improved a lot too.
