Meoncross School

Choosing the right nursery is such an important decision, and sending our daughter to Meoncross has honestly been one of the best decisions we've made.

The calm setting is beautiful within the school grounds, and the small group sizes with a high staff-to-child ratio mean the children receive fantastic individual attention. The team really know each child and support them so thoughtfully.

Our daughter joined Meoncross this academic year after being in a previous incredibly busy setting. Since moving, she has absolutely flourished and come on leaps and bounds in her speech, confidence and development.

There is great variety in their days, from mindfulness and exploration to role play and academic learning. Our daughter especially loves Mini Master Chefs and learning French.

The food offering is excellent and they make a big fuss at Christmas and seasonal events. We feel incredibly lucky she has spent her preschool at Meoncross

With all that said, I would like to thank all the nursery staff and everyone at EYFS for creating such a nurturing and supportive environment for our children.

My son has recently started at Meoncross Nursery and in just a few weeks we have seen so many changes and developments in his character. He has not been around many young children before and has been very shy around them. He now comes home from nursery and talks to me about all the other children and what they have got up to. He has already become so friendly with all the children and staff there and his confidence has grown rapidly! The outside space there is wonderful and he often talks about all the activities he's played with and brings crafts and pictures home that he is super proud of. The staff are amazing at communicating how he is doing and what they've noticed about him. I couldn't recommend it enough and I look forward to seeing all the changes still to come!

We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter has received at Meoncross Nursery since she started at two and a half. From the very beginning, the setting has had such a warm, family-like atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. The staff are genuinely kind, attentive, and supportive, always going above and beyond to ensure every child feels happy, safe, and encouraged. It's clear how much they care, and we feel confident she's getting the very best start in life. Most importantly, she absolutely loves going in every day, which speaks volumes.

The staff have been fantastic.

The nursery have been absolutely incredible with my eldest daughter and my youngest daughter will also be joining in September. They go above and beyond for the children. All the activities are so creative and personalised to the children. My daughter thrives in the lovely nurturing environment and they have so many lovely areas of the nursery indoor and outdoor and often change the layout to suit the learning topic. It's such a safe, friendly caring space and my daughter wants to go everyday. We travel a fair distance to attend but it's 100% worth it!

We chose to move our daughter to Meoncross Nursery to give her a more enriching experience and to encourage her curious and independent nature. We most definitely did the right thing! She is thriving at Meoncross, with a wonderful range of exciting activities and experiences, including ballet, music and regular trips to Beach School. She has a lovely group of friends and teachers that care a great deal about her development. She recognises many numbers and is happily writing her own name! We couldn't ask for a better setting to start her learning journey, she is very happy.

The communication between nursery and home is impeccable, whether it be face to face, through the app or by message - I've always felt up to date with what is happening and able to talk openly to anyone in the nursery setting about any concerns or help we might need.

We couldn't ask for a better start to our daughter's early years education.

We are very happy with everything at Meoncross and would fully recommend it.

My child has come on leaps and bounds since being at Meoncross nursery. She enjoys ballet, gardening, music amongst many other activities. She has built wonderful friendships with her peers and relationships with the outstanding staff who excel in helping her grow and develop. My child's confidence has grown immensely which is lovely to see. I cannot recommend Meoncross nursery enough. To know she is in the right place everyday learning and growing gives us great comfort. Thank you!

Really lovely nursery, so kind and welcoming of my child who was nervous to start. He has been treated with nothing but loving kindness and comes home every day telling me he had so much fun! There are so many opportunities to learn and develop at Meoncross, and he has advanced so much even just in the few months he has attended. Looking forward to continuing on!

Meoncross is an amazing nursery with a wonderful staff. It truly does feel like a second family and my son has thrived. He loves his teachers and when dropped off we have never had any tears. In fact, we have never seen any teary children. The beach school, French, ballet, gardening, and cooking in small groups are what sets Meoncross apart from other nurseries. We are so happy that we have decided to keep him there for reception.

Meoncross is a wonderful nursery and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. My son started when he turned 2.5 years old, moving from another nursery, and I've seen such a positive change in him. He loves his days at nursery, and never hesitates to run in at drop-off time - the daily activities, from cooking to drama classes are brilliant and he's always so proud to show off what he's learnt or made that day. All of the staff have really got to know him, and they're amazing at supporting him (with great communication too). I really have nothing but positives to say!

Both of my children have attended Meoncross Nursery and I highly recommend this to everyone I speak to. It has a calm and loving vibe which rubs off on the children who attend. The teachers care for the children in a personal and compassionate way and the addition of parents evenings allows you to discuss your child in detail. The uniform is beautiful and helps the children feel connected to the school. The updates parents receive via the app are detailed and show the depth of learning the children receive eg in French, Ballet or cooking lessons. As a private nursery, it is more expensive than others but something that we believe is worth every penny. The children finish their day clean, well-fed, happy and loved. We couldn’t ask for more in a nursery and are so grateful to the nursery and staff for all their exemplary care and teaching. It enabled our first child to slot into mainstream school beautifully. Five star!

It is preparing him so well for when he starts school in September. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone!

I would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.

The activities they partake in are first class and the app is an amazing way to keep up to date with what she does on a day-to-day basis.

We moved our son from an alternative nursery when he was eligible at 2 and half years old.

It was one of the best decisions we have made for his learning and social development.

All of his teachers and care workers have taken the time to get to know him and settle him in, and we really like all the activities planned in advance, that he undertakes in a nursery day.

We also like the time dedicated to outside learning activities and school trips, which he will be eligible for as he gets a little bit older.

My son has just finished his first term at Meoncross and it has been a wonderful experience. The nurturing approach of the nursery team supported him to settle with ease. Their child-led approach to play and learning has meant my son interests have been celebrated and woven in to his nursery day. He thoroughly enjoys the extra specialist classes (singing and music) and we have enjoyed the songs at home too!

The EYFS lead and my son’s key worker are very approachable, kind and friendly as well as being happy to help and my son has developed a lovely attachment to his key worker and other members of staff.

We are very happy that we choose Meoncross and look forward to hearing about all of the adventures to come.
