I love this nursery, my daughter is always so excited to come in and play with her friends, they are always so welcoming when my daughter enters their premises, she loves all the staff at early learners
Couldn't reccomend this nursery more ! All staff are amazing and our little boy loves coming ! Staff are very knowledgeable and always have a smile. Noah loves coming and always shouts his key worker "Nina"when he comes to nursery I know that he is in great hands
Staff are wonderful and do a great job looking after all the children. My son loves it here which puts me at ease knowing he's well looked after while I'm at work. I can always tell he's enjoyed his busy morning playing with friends and taking part in activities as he is always ready for a nap as soon as we get home. Thank you to all the staff!
The team are brilliant at keeping us updated with detailed notes about what he's been doing, meals, naps & activities. We receive so many observations daily. They've been really supportive with his speech & potty training, & it's been such a help as a first time parent to see how much he's progressed.
There's a great mix of things to do, from art & sensory play to outdoor time & exploring the world around them. The meals are homemade, balanced & varied. When my son was temporarily lactose intolerant they made adjustments & his meals were great. I definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.
My children love attending nursery and my older child in particular loves to tell me about activities she has done. The staff are incredibly kind and caring and have lovely relationships with my children.
Couldn't be happier sending my baby to early learners, she's thriving and the staff are incredible with her! I truly trust them completely and couldn't think of a better place to take care of my daughter.
My daughter loves coming to nursery, she has made beautiful friendships, lovely connections with her nursery teachers, and has also come on leaps and bounds in different aspects of her life.
It is also great for parents/carers who need to drop off earlier as they open from 7am which has been a great relief for me. The communication is also a great. Both the staff on site and the main customer service answer very quickly and are always happy to answer any questions you have. I would 100% recommend the nursery to anyone who is looking for their child/children.
We are very happy with this nursery and the care our child receives here. The staff are warm, attentive and genuinely interested in each child's development. From the moment we enrolled, they made both our child and our family feel welcome and supported.
The nursery provides a safe, clean and stimulating environment where children can learn through play and exploration. There are always a variety of creative activities, including arts and crafts, outdoor play and early learning exercises that help build confidence, social skills and curiosity.
Communication with parents is excellent. The team regularly updates us about our child's day, including what they have learned, how they have interacted with others and any milestones they are reaching. It is reassuring to know that our child is not only cared for but also encouraged to grow and develop.
We have noticed a wonderful improvement in our child's confidence, independence and communication since attending this nursery.
The staff are very patient and responsible. There has been an invident, which when reported the manager responded professionally and dealt with it.
Overall It is a good, decent and safe space for children to grow and develop. The change in my little one has been positive and she goes in by herself, reassuring me as a parent she feels safe, welcomed and listened. This is all that I wanted and expected.
Overall happy and couldn't recommend them enough!
Now we are having an even better experience than before. The nursery has very good management and an excellent staffing team. Everybody is fabulous and extremely helpful. If I have had any issues, they have been dealt with accordingly and professionally, this includes the ELN finance team.
An amazing nursery all the staff are lovely especially the baby room my little boy absolutely loves nursery settled in really well from the beginning and never had any issues. My child has come on so well speech and mobility wise since being in this nursery. Staff always up date you ASAP on your child and inform you if there is any minor incidents and always keep you up to date on the app with their day on feeding and sleep ect. They are always interacting with the children and doing activities with them. Regular updates on observations on the app too on their development couldn't ask for a better nursery or better staff.
My preverbal child started this nursery in Sep 24. He absolutely loved it for 7 months. Until a big staff change. He went from loving it, to being absolutely terrified. Even the sight of it he would scream! He cannot tell me with words, but I could see the state of him. I know something happened! He would come home absolutely traumatised every session. I had countless phone calls and meetings. Nothing ever changed, it just got worse. Staff are not trained correctly, especially with SEN children. The last day I picked him up, after yet another phone call that he was screaming to leave. I arrived at the nursery and was completely ignored by the manager. She knew everything that was happening with my son and just looked away, pretended not to see me! Even though I was standing right in front of her with a crying child. I have never been treated so rudely and unprofessionally before. Whenever we drive past it, he still screams. Beware of this nursery! I have given a full report to Ofsted.
I cannot fault this nursery . The staff are exceptional. So caring , committed to the job and welcoming . Our girls have been attending for over a year and we are continually impressed. They are thriving because of such a wonderful environment. I couldn't recommend this nursery more !
my daughter started at Early Learners in April and she has come along leaps and bounds in her development. She's catching up in her speech delay, knows all her colours, started counting to ten and recognises some letters. Her communication and building relationships with other children has progressed beautifully and she loves the staff. The staff have always been so happy and communicative with myself.
There was a change in management around April 2025, and my sons key worker "left". The difference within weeks was night and day. From being excited to do his routine and go to early learners to screaming in terror when he was on the bus on the way there....
Me and my sons mum tried a formal meeting with the manager. She is rude, obnoxious, and didn't know what was documented at the start of year with my non verbal son. She didn't offer any resolution, support, and didn't give us any confidence in her or the nursery during that meeting. After she listened to our issues she actually stated that she wouldn't bring her own kids here!!! 3 short sessions later it was very clear that nothing was changing and something was seriously upsetting our little boy we took him out.
Perfect nursery for any child to attend, staff and management are absolutely amazing no matter what, they will help in whatever way possible, kids are always happy going to and from nursery and tell me all about there day, they also have a app where they keep you upto date with progress and you can also direct message the nursery staff, on the ball with incidents, fab facilities outside, they even have a little plant grow, 10/10 would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone!
Thanks, girls for looking after my little girl.
Since starting nursery my boy has come on amazing. He has built good relationships with staff members as well as bonding with some friends. He seems to enjoy his time in the nursery and I think overall the nursery is a lovely place.
My child is always happy and smiling coming in and out of nursery, the girls work really hard to ensure each child reaches their full potential, they have supported my family through the tough times and I'll be forever grateful.
Early Learners is such a lovely place for children. The staff are lovely and know what they're doing. My child started January and he has come on so well. It's very clean and has plenty of toys and activities to do. I would recommend it to anyone
