Abbeydale Cottage Nursery

My son had been at Abbeydale Cottage Nursery since December 2015 and is about to leave to go to school. He attends full time from 7am till 4pm 5 days a week. The staff are amazing, not once have I felt like I don't know what my child has eaten or done. They take them on fabulous trips from playing on the field to walks to the shops and train rides to the peaks. I had no idea how choosing the right nursery was so important till now and I definitely feel like I chose the right one. I know we are going to miss the nursery for sure.

I was nervous about sending my daughter to the nursery last year as she has a rare condition that results in swallowing difficulties making mealtimes hard. Abbeydale Cottage Nursery has been fantastic, taking the time to understand her condition and giving her support with eating. I thought I'd only ever trust my parents and husband to look after my daughter, but it is absolutely fantastic and a thorough relief to have Abbeydale Cottage Nursery looking after her too!

My little one is settled and enjoys Abbeydale Cottage Nursery. I always get a "yay!" when I say we're going. She loves the outdoor play area and the soft play is a massive bonus, which she loves! I'm always impressed with how clean and well kept the nursery looks. The online Tapestry system is great and I enjoy regularly seeing pictures and comments about how she's doing. Finally, although availability can be limited as it is a popular nursery, they always try and fit us in/change things around for us if they can.

Our 17-month-old has been going to Abbeydale Cottage Nursery since 10 months old, he goes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We had a sense of dread at leaving him there to start off with, but with the help of tester hours and days, all our concerns were quashed. He now goes for long days 7-5 and the nursery are really accommodating of these longer days, giving him breakfast and tea.

Our son really loves it there now and both me and my wife actually look forward to the little time we spend there, dropping him off or picking him up because it's such a lovely atmosphere. There’s always lots of friendly, smiley faces there to greet us and my son always enjoys himself.

We particularly love the Tapestry App the nursery use to give updates on how he's getting on and measure his progress against EYFS standards. The app is really secure so there’s nothing to worry about. They have a great soft play room in which my son is in his element. In general, the nursey looks lovely, the staff are fantastic and we feel more than confident leaving our boy there.

I have twins and being a working Mother it is incredibly difficult to remember where my children are excelling and what they need help with, given the online portal I am able to manage my children's development and always remind myself of what they need to spend more time on.

Both of the managing directors are brilliant. One has kids of her own which is always reassuring being a Mum and the other is brilliant with the children - she's so enthusiastic with everything that happens, whether it be Christmas, Easter Hanukkah, or Eid - decorating and team spirit is her forte.

Absolutely love the improvements in my children and highly recommend Abbeydale Cottage Nursery to everyone.

Mum of two.

Communication has been very good; each day feedback is given covering what the child has been doing, their toilet visits and what they have eaten benefitting good daily transitions.

Abbeydale Cottage Nursery is a wonderful place. It's clean, modern, spacious and a very warm and welcoming environment for little ones with its rainbow staircase and wildlife murals in the soft play area. Every room is incredibly well thought out, bright and inviting with a wide range of engaging equipment. The staff are all friendly, professional and extremely helpful.

My daughter left her previous nursery for Abbeydale Cottage Nursery when she was just one and the transformation was amazing, she came on leaps-and-bounds developmentally and socially, and she continues to do so. She loves nursery, the staff, the excellent quality meals and the wide range of activities that keep her busy and entertained throughout the day.

I would recommend this nursery to friends and family, which I have already have done!

Great nursery, would recommend it highly.

Thank you to your fabulous team.

My daughter has attended this nursery since September 2015 and we couldn't be happier. The staff are very friendly and my daughter looks forward to attending. They have even accommodated us when we were let down for childcare on a day when she was not due in. On top of this the facilities are fantastic and we get online updates on some days which is very reassuring. A fantastic nursery that we highly recommend.

Father Christmas coming to their Christmas party was a nice touch which the kids loved.

I highly recommend Abbeydale Cottage Nursery. My daughter has been going there since it first opened and in that short time she has made lots of friends and has become much more ready for her transition to school. The facilities are amazing and way above any nurseries I have seen before. She has become much better at socialising (she was quite shy before) and eats all of her food such as salad, soup which we struggled with at home. It is good that we get a daily reports and also receive emails of her progress and see what she has been learning and activities she has enjoyed. She is always coming home with paintings and has sometimes even baked and been on trips out. All of the staff are lovely and very friendly she feels totally at home there and she will be devastated when she leaves for school!

My children love coming to ACN and know I they are loved and cared for there. I appreciate the verbal and written feedback I get for them both. They do a range of craft and physical activities and I feel they are reaching their potential for their respective developmental goals.

The indoor and outdoor play areas are also fantastic my daughter doesn't ever want to come home!

Our child loves this nursery and so do we. The play facilities are amazing and the staff are great, paying real attention to development in the pre-school room. We just wish this nursery had been open when we first moved to the area.

My son attends this nursery and I'm so glad we chose Abbeydale Cottage, it is one of the few nurseries in Sheffield to open 7am-7pm. He has settled in well, thanks to the friendly, caring and well-qualified staff. He always comes home happy and his day is filled with fun activities. The nursery has fantastic facilities and is exceptionally kitted out and clean.
