Review from Cardine S (Mother of Child) published on 9 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending this nursery for a couple of months now and he absolutely loves it, the management and staff go above and beyond. I love how the staff always give you an update on what your child has been up to throughout the day. The nursery also has an app that you can download and the staff upload photos to show what activities the children have been doing throughout the day/week. I can honestly say that my little boy has come on leaps and bounds in such a short space of time, I can’t thank the management and staff enough.

Reply from Davina Weir, Manager at William Gladstone Childcare

Thank you for your lovely review. As previously discussed we believe that every child deserves the same opportunities and we strive to offer this by providing a language-rich learning environment where our educators (staff) ensure each child reaches their full potential and is prepared for future...

Review from A K (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has just started at the nursery so it is new territory to both of us. All the staff have been very welcoming, kind and supportive and with the experience and professionalism of all the staff, I'm sure we will settle in well. I have great confidence in the team, they have been really good.

Reply from Davina Weir, Manager at William Gladstone Childcare
Thank you for your review, your little girl is settling well and is starting to form friendships - starting nursery must be emotionally challenging for both the children and the parents, please speak to a member of staff about any concerns or worries you have and we will keep you updated with photos etc so that you can see how settled she is.

Kind Regards

My daughter absolutely loves the nursery, the staff and the overall setting. They have a very warm and welcoming manner and when I have shared my concerns I'm met with an understanding, supportive and very engaging response from any staff member I speak to in regards to the care of my child. I can't mention anything negative and have no criticisms.

Overall Experience
My daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery! Her speech has come on no end after only a few months of being here too.
The staff are all lovely, they always give me feedback on my daughter's day when I collect her.
The app is brilliant to show me updates and photos of what my daughter gets up to.

I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Review from Sophie P (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would not leave my son anywhere else.
Cannot praise this place and the staff/management enough.
I have peace of mind whilst my son is here as I get all the updates of what he's doing and what he's eaten etc.
This is the second nursery my son has attended after a bad experience elsewhere and the difference is phenomenal.
This place is run by staff who are generally passionate about their jobs and the children that they look after.

My only concern is that when my son gets older and has to move on nowhere is going to quite match.

Reply from Davina Weir, Manager at William Gladstone Childcare
Thank you very much for your fantastic review - I am so pleased that you feel at ease leaving your son in our care! All the team at William Gladstone really do care about every child we look after.

As discussed with you our parent partnership is extremely important, happy parents with children who are developing in all areas of their development are our ultimate goal.

Review from Gemma S (Mother of Child) published on 22 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son loves his days at nursery and comes home very happy. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. My son has grown in confidence and has started to come out of himself a little bit more, due to the staff making him feel comfortable and caring for his needs. William Gladstone Childcare is well run and very informative via an app, which is great for updates and pictures of his day.
