We really love EDG Nursery! Our daughter moved from a smaller nursery when we moved house and the whole process was very easy, friendly & reassuring for us as parents. Our daughter settled very quickly and within a few weeks was talking about her new teachers & friends. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Your kind words mean a great deal to our whole team.
We are so pleased to hear that your transition to EDG Nursery was smooth, reassuring and positive for your family. We understand how important these moments are, especially when...
Fantastic range of activities (yoga, tennis, music, phonics), lots of time outside. Can't praise them enough.
We feel incredibly privileged to have been part of your boys' journey over the past 2.5 years, and it is wonderful to hear that they feel so at home at EDG. Creating a warm, nurturing environment...
We couldn't be happier with EDG as a nursery for our son. They have such genuine care for the children and their individual interests. Parents have actual time at drop off and pick up to talk to staff and they put on extra activities for us to spend time with the kids in the nursery which is just wonderful and so appreciated. I would highly recommend EDG!
We are so pleased to hear that you feel supported and valued as part of our nursery community. Creating meaningful opportunities for parents to connect with staff at drop-off and pick-up, as well as through additional activities and events, is something we place great importance on, so it is...
It is currently our 3rd child that is going through the EDG nursery and we are once again very happy with the team, facilities and general care that she is given. The fact that we know that she is truly cared for and is happy trumps any of the more flashy facilities which some nursery schools have. We know the staff care and management are at hand to address any concerns we have. I would fully and whole heartedly recommend EDG for any parent.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It truly means a great deal to our whole team.
It has been a real pleasure supporting your family over the years, and we feel incredibly privileged to have been consistently chosen to be part of your children's early...
Our youngest is now at EDG and our oldest graduated from their preschool a few years ago. We could not be happier with our nursery choice. Both our kids have loved their time at EDG, and our oldest loves coming back every day to see the staff when we pick up her sister. The staff are so caring and take a genuine interest in the welfare of the children. They seem to truly love their jobs and have fun. Meals are cooked in-house and seem balanced and nutritious. The kids are constantly entertained and spend lots of time in the garden. Every single life stage - naps and transitions, learning to walk and talk, potty training, preparing for primary school - have been handled with such empathy and care. Management are always visible and very responsive. And most importantly, our kids absolutely love the staff. Nothing is more important than being able to leave them with people you trust and with whom they are happy.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for trusting us with both of your children over the years. It means so much to hear that your family has felt supported through every stage of their journey with us.
We are incredibly proud of our team and grateful for the trust you place in us each day. Knowing your children are happy and feel well looked after is a great compliment to receive.
My two children have had wonderful experiences of attending EDG nursery spanning the last 6 years. The staff are warm and caring, and we've found the management team to be responsible and responsive to feedback. The nursery offers a great range of extra-curricular activities and cultural celebrations throughout the year. The children spend lots of time in the garden too with occasional trips outside the nursery.
Thank you so much for your kind review and for being part of the EDG family over the past six years. It truly means a great deal to us that both of your children have had such positive experiences during their time here.
We feel incredibly proud to have played a part in your childrens early development and are so grateful for the trust youve placed in us throughout their journey.
Exceptionally nurturing nursery. Lots of extra enrichment activities, particularly for older children, which prepare them well for the transition to school (phonics, show and tell, tennis, yoga). Fantastic staff especially (in our experience) for the older children. Stands out for the extent to which family are welcomed in and involved, daily (dropping off and picking up from classrooms) and through parents evenings and special events. Management and reception staff are always available and helpful, seeking to offer flexibility as much as possible. Communication is good. Recent changes to management have been handled smoothly and some great new changes implemented to improve the space for younger children.
Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful and detailed review. We are truly grateful for the time you've taken to share your experience.
It is wonderful to hear that you feel our nursery is nurturing and enriching, particularly for our older children preparing for their transition to...
We have had both of our children at EDG over the past 4 years and have had a fantastic experience. The staff have always been so friendly with us and fantastic with the kids, we have always been very happy there and have and continue to recommend to friends.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and for being part of the EDG family over the past four years. It truly means so much to us that you have trusted us with both of your children during such an important stage of their early development.
We're delighted to hear that you've consistently had...
They have recently made great efforts to relocate the baby floor to a brighter space. They provide a range of external activities which the kids really enjoy including yoga, tennis, phonics, sensory. They take an active interest in each child and support them where they show a particular interest in something.
EDG is a happy and welcoming environment that seeks to help the children learn and grow whilst having fun. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review. We are absolutely delighted to hear that both of your children are happy and thriving with us at EDG.
Your kind words about our staff and the welcoming atmosphere of the nursery mean a great deal to the whole...
My 2 children each spent 3 years at EDG nursery and I couldn't be more grateful they spent them there. They learnt so much (motor skills, emotional skills, social skills), were so well cared for (or should I say loved!), and made great friendships. The nursery staff (each and every single one of them) has been amazing and the whole family will miss them dearly. One can feel the family spirit of EDG from day one. Your child/children will be great there.
We have been really happy with EDG Nursery for both of our children and are very sad to be saying goodbye for the last time! The staff have been all amazing, they really care and have such warmth for the children. Despite having to deal with lots of challenges (covid etc) they have always tried to manage and deal with the needs of the kids first. They are open to feedback and deal well with parent input.
EDG has been great for our son. The staff has been amazing and he has grown so much and developed great social skills with their support. The nursery is very welcoming and all staff really make an effort in making you and your child feel at home.
My eldest attended and now my second child attends EDG. My children enjoyed it here and all the staff know them all by name, including my eldest who has left the nursery now for 2 years. It's lovely to enter and have everyone they pass by say hi to them. There has been a high turnover of staff recently and perhaps the newer staff are not as engaging initially with the kids but that has always settled. Would highly recommend EDG, they have various family-focused events throughout the year and maintain close communication with parents. All the staff has gone above and beyond for my kids and I cannot thank them enough.
EDG is a wonderful nursery. Our children have been cared for and educated by a fantastic group of people who have consistently impressed me with their good humour and thoughtfulness. Every person I’ve interacted with, from the reception desk, through each room and including managers, has been great. I have recommended EDG to friends and would do so to anyone. The parent community has been another huge plus - lots of caring and fun people.
The rooms are clean and have lots of different things for the children to play with and different activities for them to do each day. The children are encouraged to be independent (when age appropriate) and they also do classes such as yoga, gymnastics and phonics which both my children have loved. The outside space is also a great area and is used by the children every day.
The staff put in so much effort with special occasions to bring all the families together such as a summer party and Christmas celebrations.
I have had a really positive experience with both my children.
EDG is a wonderful, nurturing and creative environment. We have found the staff to be dedicated and invested in the emotional welfare and academic development of each child individually. They treat the children - and their parents -with care, attention and respect and go over and beyond to encourage, develop and help children to enjoy their time at nursery. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating and nothing is too onerous for any member of staff!
We are very happy with the EDG Nursery. All our three children went there (our youngest started at the end of 2023). The nursery provides a loving and caring environment, where children can learn and gain new experiences. The space is very well-presented, and the children enjoy both indoor and outdoor areas. We also appreciate the detailed daily feedback we receive from the nursery. The management and carers are always open to discussing any issues. The nursery also greatly supported us with our middle child's speech challenges. We also appreciate the effort that staff puts into organising various celebrations for children and parents to enjoy.
EDG Nursery is a really family-oriented nursery. They’re hugely passionate about the children and work hard to provide the best environment. Classrooms are clean and well-presented, full of educational prompts and interesting things, with children’s art and crafts on the walls. They have a great app for regular updates and staff are friendly and helpful and take the time to know both parents and children on a personal level. There are regular events and celebrations for things such as for Mother’s Day, Black History Month, Chinese New Year, Eid al-Fitr or Christmas. They also have weekly visits from external partners, such as yoga classes or gymnastics in the summer. We’re so glad we are at EDG, our daughter loves it and our son will be joining when I go back to work from maternity!
I can’t even begin to explain how much the staff genuinely care for and love the children, making them feel so welcome and us, as parents, feel so secure leaving our children in their care. It’s the small things, like they always play music - because it’s been proven that this helps with their development - all the way through to the warm atmosphere, the diversity of activities and care and attention.
EDG Nursery was a fabulous setting for our daughter who was there from 10 months of age. She adored going to the nursery and made strong connections with all the staff. EDG is a very warm, welcoming and caring nursery and we were always confident that our daughter was being well looked after. The facilities are good, particularly the outside space which can be used all year round regardless of weather though the downstairs rooms could do with a little more natural light. All staff put in exceptional effort including the lovely reception staff and it was a pleasure interacting with them every day. There were lots of changes at the nursery whilst our daughter was there and under new management the nursery is going from strength to strength. Communications/systems could still be improved a little but these are minor points and we would very much recommend EDG.
