Number 9 The Nursery is a wonderful place to be for kids. My son loves to go there. The staff is amazing and always happy to help.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we are so pleased your son is happy at Number 9 The Nursery.
I am extremely happy with sending my son to this nursery. When you go to work you want to know that your child is safe and happy. I always feel this way. My son talks about the staff as if they are his best friends and he has learnt so much since attending. Being a teacher, I look out for open learning tasks as well as age-appropriate challenges and they certainly provide this. Every member of staff is compassionate and seem to really enjoy being around the children. I would recommend this nursery to everyone!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We are so pleased that you are happy with Number 9.
I moved my daughter from another nursery to Number 9 and have been extremely happy with the decision. The staff are amazing and my daughter is so proud of all the activities they do and so excited to bring them home. She is so passionate about learning to write and the team have supported and encouraged her immensely. She loves the science experiments and I love the children are being encouraged to explore and apply different skills.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are happy that you and your daughter enjoy Number 9.
My daughter was at Number 9 from before she was two and she only left in July this year to head off to big school. I’d like to thank all staff at Number 9. My little one has started school being so independent and confident. Her new school teacher is so impressed with her as she can do so much academically and so much independently.
Dear Lauren, Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear your daughter has settled so well into Reception, it is always lovely to hear how they are getting on in their new school.
We have noticed a massive difference in his confidence, abilities, politeness and generally just how much he loves going to nursery. The staff are amazing, welcoming and care so much about the children, on all levels from their home lives to their progress.
The uniform policy is a great introduction for primary school. We receive a weekly update which keeps working parents (like myself) updated all the time on their activities.
The option to pay for extracurricular activities for them to attend while at nursery in the week has been a great advantage for me as a parent.
I honestly would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone and I only wished I moved him to Number 9 sooner.
Dear Azana, thank you so much for your kind words, we are delighted that you are happy with Number 9 The Nursery. Having a good team and a welcoming environment is so important to us and we are so pleased your son is happy and developing his confidence. Thank you again for your kind words.
My daughter has been attending Number 9 The Nursery for three years and is in the Pre-School Group. Throughout her time on the baby floor, two-year-old group and pre-school the care for her has been amazing. The team are wonderful and made every effort to ensure that my daughter's needs are met! There are lovely extra activities and my daughter is particularly fond of Pro-Stars and Ballet. She also does wonderful activities daily which I can look at on Eylog and brings home lovely artwork. I cannot thank Number 9 enough for all the hard work they do to make sure my little lady has a lovely day whilst I am at work! It means the world to me to see my child so happy and confident and I know she will settle well into school due to the way Number 9 promote independence and support the children emotionally to be confident. The nursery also supports parents and we have regular meetings with her key worker and I regularly attend parent workshops (potty training was a must and really helped me).
Dear Mrs M, Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted that you are happy with Number 9 The Nursery.
Number 9 nursery staff have been excellent and helpful throughout my son's journey. They helped my son settle in without any problem. He loved going to the nursery and I found tremendous improvement in his language and behaviour after going to this nursery. He had loads of friends whom he would meet even outside the nursery. I would recommend this nursery to everyone who wants their child to be nurtured and cared for.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
The best nursery ever. Staff are so welcoming and friendly, my daughter loves going to the nursery. They will immediately solve your problem if you have any and very helpful in every way. Love their activities. Can’t wait for my little one to grow up and go to this nursery now as I can’t trust anyone else with my children.
Thank you for your positive review and kind words.
My daughter had extremely great teaching received there as she is progressing very well at reception now. Very proud!
Thank you for your lovely comment.
My son attended Number 9 for 1.5 years. He thoroughly enjoyed his time at the Nursery and learnt a lot of new things.
Thank you so much for your kind review, it is lovely to hear your son thoroughly enjoyed his time at Number 9.
Number 9 was his first. He didn't know any other language than our mother tongue. Number 9 staff assured us that they would do their best and truly went above and beyond to cater the attention and love my child required. Staff re-assured everything is going to fall in place soon after my son started and we were really worried how would he get adjusted let alone learn English. Within 2 months of joining, he started constructing sentences in English to our surprise. All thanks to the lovely staff out there who give the required individual attention to kids. We are really glad we chose this nursery. I can't give anything less than outstanding for this wonderful second home to my child.
I couldn’t be more happier with the nursery, the whole team are simply amazing and know my little girl so well and meet her every need. She even wants to go to nursery on the weekend.
One of my favourite things about Number 9 The Nursery is that they communicate so well with parents every week, we find out what’s happening the commencing week, any special events happening in the nursery.
They always seem to be getting new resources for the children and they listen to requests from parents.
My child couldn’t be happier and that means the world to me.
Our boy is super happy and developing fantastically and the staff are great.
The EyLog app is fantastic
Seems like the whole place is run with a very clear purpose from the top down.
Would happily recommend this nursery as they deserve to Succeed.
It isn’t the cheapest nursery but experience has proven to me that you get what you pay for and my wife and I are 100% happy with the Number 9 and it’s staff.
The older girls run to nursery and would go every day if they could. They always come home exhausted after having such a fun but educational day. They talk about nursery and their friends all day long when not there.
The staff know all of the children and it’s lovely to see the children develop relationships with them.
The environment is clean and stimulating. The extra activities like French and ProStars are a great addition.
We would highly recommend and if we ever had any more children they will most definitely be attending Number 9!
I would definitely recommend.
We are delighted to hear that you are happy with the Nursery and that you would recommend us.
Thank you again.
Our son has been at Number 9 the nursery for almost a year since he was just under one. I was hesitant about going back to work and leaving him in a new place with new people caring for him, but he quickly settled and I quickly trusted the nursery. Every day that we drop him off at nursery, we are greeted with a smile from every single member of staff, and everyone knows his name. The settling in period was managed very well and I wouldn't ever feel bad about calling to check up on him in the early days. We're so pleased with our choice of nursery and feel very confident that he is being looked after well when he's there. The nursery is clean, very new, well resourced with lots of learning opportunities. Communication is excellent through use of the EYLog app, we receive regular photos and videos of our son having lots of fun and we also value the time spent to touch base through parents evenings. The outstanding Ofsted was certainly no surprise to us and is very well deserved.
We understand what a big decision choosing a Nursery for your child is we are delighted to hear that you are happy with Number 9.
Its fantastic to also read that you find the communication excellent as we really want you to feel informed about your sons day with us.
Thank you so much again.
Excellent nursery brilliant facilities most importantly BOTH my children are happy and developing here.
We are delighted that your Children are happy, that is the best news.
Initial few days/weeks at Nursery for my son were filled with anxiety and we (parents) were really in a lot of stress whether or not my son would get adjusted to the nursery as it is his first nursery.
But after the initial few weeks of stressful journeys to the nursery with teary eyes every morning, my son finally ended up saying bye with a big smile on face. He started loving the nursery after few weeks, he improved his language and manners. After a month or so, he never said he doesn't want to go the Nursery.
Staff are excellent and so is the management who are strict yet very accommodating. Food provided in the nursery is of top quality and cleanliness is well maintained throughout the nursery premises.
We are extremely happy and proud to have chosen No.9 as the first nursery for my son and we recommend this to everyone.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback.
My twin boys have been here over a year now and I’m so delighted with the way in which they have progressed and developed during their time at Number 9. Staff are extremely caring and patient.
Please continue to do what you are doing – you are all super amazing!
Absolutely no surprise you received ‘Outstanding’ by Oftsed! Well done all!
I would like to thank you for taking the time to provide such positive feedback about Number 9 The Nursery. I am delighted to hear that the boys are so happy and enjoy the extra activities that we offer! We will continue to do our very best for the children. Thank you once again for your comments.
Beautiful, new, clean nursery with lovely staff. Very caring environment where children are encouraged to learn and develop to their best. My little boy is becoming more independent and confident in his abilities. Thank you, Number 9 The Nursery!
