Lovely nursery and the staff are really friendly. Highly recommend this nursery to friends and family. I know my niece will be very sad to leave when she is off to school, and I cannot thank the staff enough for all their help.
Thank you for such a kind review, the team will be delighted to know about your very positive and kind comments.
A lovely nursery, with good facilities and good communication with the parents. I particularly love the updates and photos on the app!
There are a few real gems that work here, and we will be forever grateful for your investment in the early years development of our children.
Thank you!
Thank you for commenting on how outstanding our staff are. We agree that the wonderful team at Lancing are a kind and caring bunch. I am so pleased to hear you are happy with us. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
She tells me everything that she has done which shows me how occupied she is during the day. The staff keep me informed and updated of any concerns as well as what she has done that day, such a lovely bunch. The food menu and quality is brilliant and the manager is always available and makes a point of checking with me that everything is going ok. I am so pleased with everything about this nursery and how well they look after the children. Puts my mind at ease. A big thank you to them all.
Thanks for taking the time to provide us with this very complimentary feedback. I am delighted to hear that your granddaughter is loving nursery life. We agree the staff absolutely are wonderful and they will be very pleased to hear you think so too! It's great to hear how happy you and your granddaughter are, thank you again.
Lovely friendly service, always have time to talk about my child’s day. Both my children go here and they have always had a very enjoyable time and have progressed well educationally. Would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you so much for taking the time out to write this review. I am delighted to know both your children love the nursery and that we have helped them to progress well educationally. Thank you for your recommendation.
Staff always friendly and informative. I believe they have bonded with my Grandaughter and know her well. They care for her and are aware and sympathetic of her likes and dislikes. She has been at the nursery since she was quite small and they have helped her to explore new areas of play as well as become accustomed to a routine outside of her home which will be useful in the future when she reaches school age.
Thank you so much for taking the time out to write this review. I am delighted to hear that your granddaughter has bonded so well with the practitioners, we really do appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback.
Both my children go to this nursery and they absolutely love it here. They always come out so happy. It puts my mind at ease knowing they are having a lovely time. The staff are all so lovely and friendly too.
Thanks for your review. It's good to know you're happy with what we do and that both your children are happy at the nursery.
Really love the nursery, especially the staff team, they are so warm and friendly put me at ease and my son loves his key worker. Love the activities they do, the massive garden and the communication is great. Thank you for all you do for my son.
Thank you for sharing yours and your son's experience. We have such a fantastic team of people at the nursery and I am delighted your son loves his time at nursery. Feedback like this is a great pat on the back for our wonderful team. Thank you.
My daughter absolutely loves it here. I feel at ease leaving her also. The staff are so friendly and easy to chat to, you can tell instantly that they really do care about all of the children. There are lots of different activities that the children can do and a nice outside area. I couldn't recommend A Step Ahead more; they are fantastic.
Thank you for sharing you and your daughter's experience of our nursery - caring for children is in our DNA and its wonderful to receive such praise. Thank you.
Amazing nursery for my daughter. She started when she just turned one and I was worried she would be unsettled. But she did amazingly well thanks to the staff support. She is always so excited to meet her little friends there and has got so much to do. The outside area is massive and very well organized. Staff are lovely and very hands-on with her. I would 100% recommend the nursery.
Thank you for your review. I'm really pleased to hear your daughter has settled and is happy at the nursery. We really do appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback.
This is our first nursery for our child and our daughter loves it. She is always saying very good words about her teachers, the staff are very friendly and we are very pleased that our daughter is attending this nursery.
I'm super happy to read your comments, thank you for choosing our wonderful nursery. My team of amazing practitioners will be delighted to hear your feedback and also glad to know your daughter loves the nursery.
He is so excited to go in every day and has formed a real bond with his key workers, and I also feel as a parent that they are really good with communication and we have built up a great relationship with the team. He has learnt so much since he has been there, and I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely comments. I am delighted to hear your son has bonded so well with his key workers and enjoys his time at our wonderful nursery. Thank you.
My daughter started at A Step Ahead at the beginning of September and settled straight away, I was nervous at first that she wouldn't want to go and would cry for every drop-off but she warmed to her key worker straight away and was excited to go. Every time we mention the nursery, she gets so excited. We have seen such a development from her in such a short time of going. I love getting the updates for what she has been up to during the day and how she is getting on. She is always fed and looked after so well at A Step Ahead, I can't wait to send her in for an extra day in the future, so she can spend more time playing and learning.
Thank you for sharing yours and your daughter's experience. Separation anxiety is something many parents struggle with, and we make it a priority to help people along this early part of the nursery experience - I am so glad to know the amazing team at the nursery provided you with the necessary support. Thank you again for your lovely review - the team will be so happy.
My daughter is 19 months old. She runs into the nursery with a huge smile on her face and leaves happy as well. All the staff are very professional and caring towards her. I really like the activities they do in her room and being updated on parent zone about her day. The garden area is a little bit small but I have been assured they sometimes share the bigger gardens.
Hi Michele, It's so lovely to hear that your daughter loves coming to nursery, the amazing team there really put in a lot of effort to plan wonderful activities for the children and care for the children, so it is nice to hear you can see that. Thank you again for your kind words.
Lovely nursery. My son absolutely loves going and always has done. He has a lovely bond with so many of the staff and they really create a home from home for him. Efficient way of working and reasonable prices. All-round a great nursery.
Again, thank you for the review.
What a lovely sightseeing our grandson coming out of nursery looking so happy. Since starting nursery, he’s speech has come on so much and his love for singing and dancing is celebrated. The staff that look after our grandson do an amazing job and they should be very proud of themselves.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review. It's lovely hearing about how your grandson has developed whilst at nursery. Feedback like this is a great pat on the back for our wonderful team. Thanks again, for your kind comments.
My child attended the caterpillar room and loved every minute. The staff were particularly good at listening to my wishes and following through with them when able. The handovers were always very informative, so I never felt like I missed out on any of my child's development. Their online system is brilliant as we can log in and see pictures and check their development.
Thanks for taking the time to write a review for our nursery. We are super happy you chose us to care for your child, and my amazing team will be delighted to read your very kind comments.
My daughter always comes home chatting away and happy.
They seem to offer a range of activities, indoors and outdoors which is great.
And the food must be good as she only ever eats at nursery.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the nursery. We hear a lot about separation anxiety, that's why we focus on it so much - leaving a child in the care of others is a real struggle, and I am delighted to know we helped you and your daughter through this challenge. Thank you for entrusting us to care for your lovely daughter.
My son is in the 2-3 room and he is flourishing. The girls are amazing and very caring towards him. We really enjoy seeing his progress and how much fun he is having via Iconnect. Keep up the fantastic work you all do.
Thank you for reviewing our lovely nursery. It is wonderful to know your son enjoys his time at the nursery - the team will be delighted to hear your feedback.
I had an amazing show around by the wonderful manager. The nursery had a homely vibe to it. Perfect for my nine-month-year-old twins. All the staff seemed lovely and welcoming. The manager spoke about the nursery in great detail. I will be sending my twins to this nursery and would highly recommend this nursery to my friends.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. Our amazing team just "love" what they do; it's wonderful to watch them in action and this is what creates our "home from home" environment. I am delighted to hear that you are choosing our nursery to care for your twins. Again, thank you for the review.
My daughter started this wonderful nursery in October/November time of last year and I would never look back. She was in caterpillar when she started and she loved it. The staff were great with her and me they would let me know about my daughters' progress, which was very reassuring she is now in the bumblebee and she can’t wait to get there she goes running in. All the staff are wonderful and make you feel really at ease. I would recommend this nursery to all my friends and family. Well done to all the staff at A Step Ahead, carry on with the great work.
I cannot thank you enough for your kind and supportive comments - the nursery team will be delighted to hear such wonderful things. We strive to "Get it right" and your endorsement of the team's dedication to delivering outstanding care and education lets us know we did just that. Thank you for entrusting your daughter with us.
