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.

Very happy with the care that my daughter is getting at the nursery - The staff do care, comms are good and the best bit is the extra-curricular efforts made - Animal visits , ballet, language, sing and sign etc. None of these is necessary but all really do help development.

My twins started Number 9 The Nursery from 13 months old and I was very impressed from the start and following a negative experience at another nursery I found myself very critical. The facilities are fantastic, clean and modern. Staff are professional and the girls love them. They run into nursery every morning with not even a second glance for us! They always have fun but educational activities planned. I trust them wholeheartedly with my twins and know they are in great hands.
We bought our 18-month old here and worried about him settling in. He has surprised us all as the girls are so wonderful with him, he loves going now.

They have looked after her so well and have allowed her to flourish. I was also provided with a regular follow-up on her progress and achievements. She also thoroughly enjoyed the extra activities like learning how to sing and sign as well as ballet.
We are so pleased your daughter enjoyed her time with us.

The team were amazing at settling our daughter who had never been left with anyone else and supported us throughout.
It is lovely to receive daily pictures and observations of our daughter and its nice to see how happy she is whilst we are at work.
They have lots of extra activities throughout the week and at the moment our daughter does the ballet and sing and sign, we were able to go along and see what the session involves and was delighted at how lovely the session was.
One of the things we also love about the nursery is the outdoor opportunities as many of the local nursery's that we viewed had smaller gardens, it has a large outdoor space to run around and enjoy and although our daughter is just starting to walk we know this will be such a lovely space for her to enjoy as she grows.We couldn't be happier with the service we receive and would highly recommend the nursery.
Thank you so much for your kind review we are so pleased your daughter is happy and settled.
Warmest regards

I have found good progress in terms of both mental and physical growth aspects. He has shown good progress in terms of
stable behaviour and also independently managing some of his daily routines like wearing jackets, putting on socks and shoes, feeding himself his food etc.
Communication wise his vocabulary has improved as well.
I am overall happy with the progress and would thank the nursery staff for their effort and appreciate if the same quality continues.
Many Thanks.
Thank you so much for your kind review.

The management are always around the nursery and you can really feel their presence.
I would wholehearted recommend the nursery to friends and family.
Kids like to go to nursery everyday - the teachers are good and attentive. The only part which I am still not transparent is the checklist of what they eat in the nursery - otherwise nursery is very good.

My child is attending this nursery for the past 6 months and I am happy with the service they render. The staff are extremely kind and they ensure they are emotionally available for the kids. My child was 'toilet trained' within a short span of time. As parents we see that she is able to communicate clearly and is able to express what she feels very lucidly.
It's been a wonderful nursery for my both children. I would definitely recommend Number 9 to everyone.
The staff are friendly and caring.
They help children to focus on phonics and sounding out words. Prepare them before they start school.
