The staff are fantastic with my daughter, she absolutely loves it at nursery and would go every day if she could. All the staff are amazing nothing is ever any trouble. I would recommend and have recommended the nursery to anyone that has asked me about a good nursery and I would like to thank them for all they do.
My little girl has been attending Boat House Day Nursery since around August, September 2020 and she has come on so much since then. She is two and a half now and her speech, manners and intelligence has come on leaps and bounds and I know a lot of it is from her attending nursery and being around other children, learning from the activities that the staff do with the children. Every week she comes home with something new she has learnt. She has settled in very well to the environment and we have never had any issues. The toddler room staff are great and always ensure that they let me know how she has been that day. I am happy with the food that is provided too and I would highly recommend a child to go there.
I would recommend this nursery as they are a brilliant, understated people and they're always there to help you too. They have helped me and my child through so much and it has been a different year but they got a great routine and together, we all got through the hardest year.
Cannot recommended this nursery enough! I was very nervous about returning to work after maternity leave but our little girl loved it here from day one and the staff are very caring towards her, which was really reassuring. They have great, clean facilities and are always doing lots of fun activities. I love all of the art work and crafts that she brings home for us. The app that they use is brilliant and is updated throughout the day so that we can see exactly how she is getting on. Honestly cannot fault it at all, very satisfied with our choice.
My sons been at the nursery two years, the staff are so kind, caring and my son is so happy. His speech has come on and he looks forward to go there, defiantly recommend. The attention the girls give to my son is unconditional, they do so many fun things, dress up, paint, outdoor play and the place is lovely.
The building itself is great with lots of toys and activities to keep them active with lots of fun learning ideas. The security there is great with fingerprint access only and parents can only access the room their child is in. Parents can also keep up to date with what their child is doing by the app they use where staff regularly update it with photographs/written updates.
The staff are very attentive and always have time to speak with parents about their child's needs/concerns etc. We have found them to always be very supportive and helpful.
The setting itself is great. Great sized rooms, filled with lots of toys/activities for the children to learn and develop. One of the details which we loved was the security at the nursery - fingerprint entry system. Only authorised people (staff/parents/carers) could enter the building and then once inside non-staff people can only access the room that their child is based. They also have an app which you can see what your child has been doing throughout each day, how many nappy changes? How much have they eaten? What have they been up to?
The staff themselves are really friendly and supportive - to the children and to the parents! And the admin staff are also really friendly and helpful.
My daughter loves going to Boat House and we will all be really sad to leave in a couple of months.
I highly recommend this nursery and I think five stars is not enough.
My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 6 months old. The care is second to none - they are attentive to her development and she genuinely loves it.
They have been incredibly supportive of us as a family and I feel safe leaving her there. We have witnessed their policies around all aspects of toddler behaviour - we've suffered bites and also had an episode where my daughter was the biter. They use recognised developmental psychology approaches and handle this perfectly.
I will be sad when she has to go to school.
My son attended this nursery for over year. Thought everything was fine until staff (including management) lied to me after my son was hurt on 3 different occasions. Their 'policies' were not followed.
Our setting is a brand new setting (Opening Jan 16) and this child attended from the start, our facilities and resources are of a high standard and we had a good Ofsted registration inspection which reflected on this
The parent has been very critical in her views as we accommodated her every...
Excellent nursery with excellent staff. My boy was very happy at this nursery from start to finish. Staff are excellent. I would highly recommend the Boat House, my little boys came on leaps and bounds learning and growing with other children and staff. The nursery was very clean and very secure with high security, excellent friendly staff. Thanks to the staff my boys are all ready for big boy nursery now, thank you.
My son has been helped to develop so many skills since joining this nursery in January '16. He has grown in confidence and independence. He has made so many friends but has missed one little boy who left to join school. The staff have helped myself and son in so many areas of our lives and we can not thank them enough. This is the place every child should be. Thanks to you all X
This is an excellent nursery, so well planned and managed, the staff are very welcoming and friendly, the nursery itself has beautifully designed rooms and hall ways to keep the children entertained, the security is high and has cctv and finger print scan which gives you peace of mind whilst your child is there.
Love everything about this nursery and would recommend to any parent finding the right nursery for their child 100%. I am so happy my child goes here and she is going to learn so much being there.
