Both my children have flourished under the care and guidance of Number 9 Nursery. My boy showed signs of Autism which the team supported with his application for an assessment. The team worked with us to be more aware of his needs and tailor their support to meet his needs. He was always happy attending and it was a joy to see him grow and develop under Number 9's care. Thank you

My little daughter came to Number 9 when she was two years old. They helped me realize that there was something wrong with my child, and I promptly consulted a doctor who diagnosed her with autism. I have to say that during such a difficult time, they really provided me with tremendous support. I can deeply feel that my daughter is loved. Her care worker is truly an angel, and I am completely at ease leaving my child with them. The manager here is a very kind lady; you know she is doing her utmost to help you. I feel that both my child and I are very fortunate to have encountered such a nursery. Oh, by the way, my elder daughter also graduated from here.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been a pleasure working alongside you to support your daughter and we wish you all the best in the future.

Having had two children attend the nursery and my youngest about to start school, I'm genuinely gutted we have to leave! Couldn't have wished for a better setting for my daughters. Number 9 has been incredibly friendly, supportive and nurturing. My girls (and I) have made brilliant friends too. I am confident they have the skills to make a flying start at school. And not to be underestimated, the office staff are also fantastic, the systems used are easy and efficient and the communication is excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Number 9 to anyone.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review, it has been an absolute pleasure having both your girls with us and we will miss you all.

My son started in the baby room in November 2023 and as a new mother, with all the bad news surrounding nurseries, I was apprehensive about sending him to one and going back to work. The assistant manager made both of us feel right at home and from day 1 my son has never cried about going to nursery. The staff in the baby room have ensured my little boy is well looked after and they constantly provide updates throughout the week on how he's doing. Sending my son here was the best decision I've ever made.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so pleased that you are happy with Number 9 The Nursery! Each and every family is so important to all the team.

Number 9 The Nursery is an outstanding nursery. My little girl attended the nursery for two years before moving to a preschool (we only moved so that she would be familiar with the school she would be attending in September) and she loved being there. My little boy has recently started and took a while to settle, during which the team in the baby room were so lovely and supportive and consequently, he is now very happy and settled at Number 9 (very attached to his key worker which is a great sign!) The facilities are fantastic, there is a lot of space for the children. The outdoor space is one of the best I’ve seen at a nursery and the activities are amazing - they have classes in the week included in the price (e.g. baby ballet, sing and sign) and they have chicks/ducklings which hatch around spring and reindeer at Christmas which are very exciting for the children. The food is also excellent. All nurseries are expensive but you get what you pay for at Number 9 and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
Thank you so much for your review! It was so nice to welcome your second child to the nursery. There is no better compliment than families who choose the nursery again when they have more children. Our team is dedicated to offering our families the very best and they will be so pleased to read your review.

My little girl loves attending Number 9 The Nursery, she has such an amazing bond with not only her amazing key worker but all of the staff! They do a fantastic job keeping parents informed of what areas they're working on in preschool, they are extensive. It's really comforting to know that every aspect of our child's development is being attended to. The menu and extra activities, such as French class and baby ballet, are also very impressive!
Thank you for your lovely review! It's great to hear feedback on our menu, we're really proud to have an onsite chef to provide nutritious, home-cooked meals for the children every day. The staff are committed to achieving the best outcomes for all the children and we're so happy your child has settled well!

Our second child is now on baby floor after our first child spent a very happy and engaging four years at Number 9 The Nursery. It’s lovely to be back with so many familiar faces in the caring staff team. Our baby settled in well and she already takes part in a great selection of activities there, from sensory play to baby ballet and sports. All the staff treat the children with such love and attention. It’s wonderful to have our baby there.
It was so nice to welcome your second child to the nursery, there is no better compliment than families who choose the nursery again when they have more children! Our Baby Floor leader has been with us since we opened and her team has a wealth of experience in settling children into the nursery. Thank you for your kind words!
The care is outstanding. It’s a home-from-home for our child. They go above and beyond, they cater to every individual need of each child and family. We are always greeted with smiles and such energy. Thank you Number 9 The Nursery!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a lovely review! We believe every child is unique and the team put in a lot of hard work to give all of our families a personalised experience.
His little face lights up when we see the big purple sign when we pull up outside, how excited he gets says it all for me.

All of the staff at Number 9 The Nursery have been fantastic. From the baby floor when our daughter first joined, through to the toddler floor and now pre-school. They are all so warm, enthusiastic and supportive. They have helped support our daughter's growth both through a structured programme and with freshly cooked meals on-site. We couldn't recommend this nursery any higher.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review! I am pleased your daughter is settling well in Pre-School, many of our children join as babies and stay until they start school and it is a joy to watch them grow and develop.
Our daughter really loves attending Number 9. She always opens her arms to go straight to the ladies when we drop her off, a big smile on her face and a wave goodbye to us. That shows me that she’s treated with love and care there, and that’s my absolute priority with childcare.

Absolutely fantastic nursery and preschool. My children love it here and have had so many experiences that they couldn't have gotten anywhere else. The staff care a lot about the children and go to great lengths to ensure that they are learning, engaged and well looked after.

Our daughter was cared for brilliantly by the team at Number 9 The Nursery. The app was so helpful, we received regular updates (not only at the end of the day, but with regular observations) which meant that we could track our daughter’s progress often. Communication was excellent, our daughter thrived, and we would definitely recommend to other parents.
Thank you for your kind words, it means so much to us when other parents recommend us to their friends and family!

I am so happy we chose Number 9 The Nursery my daughter started when she was 13 months old being a lockdown baby I wasn't sure how she would settle but she did just brilliantly. She has now just turned 3 and is defo loving life at nursery. All the extra activities the Nursery do is amazing from sing and sign, baby ballet, getting animals in etc is brilliant. The key workers are always supportive when a recent grandparent passed away they fully supported helping my daughter with any struggles that may come with that. We still have another 16 months to go and can’t wait to see how much more she thrives and also have enrolled my youngest.
Thank you so much for your review! Our Baby Floor team have lots of experience settling children and we are so happy your family is happy at Number 9! There is no greater compliment you could pay us than entrusting us with their sibling and we look forward to supporting your family further!

This is a really special nursery, with excellent caring staff and a warm nurturing atmosphere. Our son has really grown in confidence since joining as a baby until 3 years old - he has built lovely friendships and is learning the basics of phonics confidently ahead of starting school. The building also has great facilities with a large garden and lovely light throughout the building - something that is noticeably lacking in other nurseries we visited. It has a long waiting list, so is worth applying ahead with that in mind!
Thank you for taking the time to review us! We are so pleased that your child is happy and settled with us. We're so proud of our big garden, it offers so much to the children and we're glad you like it!

It is a great setting with lots of outdoor play as well as learning designed to build skills ahead of the step to primary school.
Varied activities throughout the year have helped our children become inquisitive about the world around them and want to learn. E.g. Mother's Day, festivals, etc.
In addition, the outdoor space is great and weekly activities including baby ballet, French and pro stars (sports) have exposed our kids, during nursery hours, to much more than I would have expected before we started.
Staff have always been supportive and the kids love them. Staff turnover has also been low helping strong relationships between the children and staff to develop, plus consistency in communication on the development of the children with me as a parent.
