Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My boy has been staying with Ocean Day Nursery since 12/2021 and he seems happy to stay and play for all day. All the girls are very nice and friendly, and the policies in nursery are comprehensive which ensures me that my child will have a safe place to stay while I am away.

My son has attended Ocean Day Nursery for approximately 6 months and both he and I have had a very positive experience. I am sent photos during the day of what things he has been up to including his much loved trips into the soft play centre next door. At the end of the day I will often be given crafts
that he has created whilst there. He is always happy to attend and comes out each day smiling.

My son loves everyone at the nursery. It’s a pleasure to see him growing and nurturing. They pick him up from the car in the morning it’s great! He’s always so happy going there and hard to get him home sometimes.

This is a great place, it's an excellent nursery and I would recommend them to anyone looking to place a child. They are always well staffed with highly qualified and experienced carers and plenty of activities for the children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Ocean nursery have been absolutely fantastic with helping my little boy Teddy settle in. He’s constantly playing and crafting and always comes home with a big beaming smile on his face. Two staff members, particularly, have been spectacular with him and he’s really taken a shine to them.
The nursery
is always clean and tidy even after a full day of children being there.
They have also been extremely flexible with our ever-changing schedule and during my son's first month when he was unwell for quite a few weeks.
To top it all off, I love receiving photos throughout the day of my little one playing etc.

Having had 2 other children who had been in other private nurseries as babies, Ocean Day Nursery is by far the best. My son loves it here. I always get pictures and message updates throughout the day. His daily activities and food he has is written down without fail. All of the staff are polite and
approachable and I only ever have positive things to say when asked where my son attends whilst I work. Very happy and relieved mum.

My daughter currently attends Ocean Day Nursery and has done for the past 4 months.
She always has a smile on her face when I collect her which shows just how much fun she has been having.
I love the updates you get via message and also a diary of their day explaining times of nappy changes, what
they have eaten and what they have been doing.
The staff are fabulous and are all so friendly!
I’m so happy I found Ocean Day and would always recommend,

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Genuinely, I couldn’t be more grateful for the team at Ocean Day Nursery. For me, the most important consideration for childcare is how comfortable a child feels attending and there is no doubt that both my boys love it there.
The team have a fantastic balance of being personable and professional.
They have great communication and have created an atmosphere where it’s a fun environment for children to be in.
Especially with the uncertainty of the last two years, Ocean Day have been a fantastic constant and place of stability.
I would happily recommend them to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so pleased we took the decision to place our son with Ocean Day Nursery. My son has been at the nursery since May 2018 and we have been so pleased with the care and attention the team give our son. He has had such a great experience since joining. Our son has made such great progress, from building
his confidence to making great friendships.
He has such a smile on his face when going into the nursery and when I pick him up at the end of the day. The girls all have a great relationship with him and I can’t thank them enough for putting my mind at ease going to work, knowing he is in such good hands. I really can’t recommend the nursery and the team enough!

Review from Laura M (Mother of Child) published on 23 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son finished his time with Ocean Day Nursery at the end of August and has started reception in his new school. The staff have looked after him since he was 9 months old so that alone is testament to how much we rate them. We've shared milestones along the way and they have always been happy to work
with us and offer help.
The staff are always fantastic and he built a strong bond with them which meant we were never concerned he wasn't enjoying his time there. They really brought out the best in him - we've watched him grow from a shy baby to a confident little boy who can easily settle into new situations.
The nursery is attached to a soft play centre so during quiet periods the kids can go and play down there if they are unable to go into the enclosed garden area, which they do whenever they can.
The food on offer is varied and accommodated to suit allergies, dietary requirements, etc and every child is encouraged to try and 'eat the rainbow' with a few treats included for good balance.

Our little girl has been at this nursery since she was 8 months old (now, nearly 2).
She looks forward to going to nursery, and at hand over in the mornings, is super excited to see the staff members.
They do lots of different activities and have a lovely outdoor garden space for the children to play.
The
staff here are excellent, very friendly and caring.
Highly recommend this nursery.

Nursery staff always very helpful and let you know how your child has got on throughout the day. Any problems they call or message to let you know which is very good to know when I am in work. My child always enjoys the food provided which is a positive as he seems to eat better in the nursery than
at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter joined Ocean Day after we had been unhappy with her settling at another. We were immediately put at ease during registration. Our daughter spent over a year here and the staff are outstanding. Particularly one lady, who always carried out the handover with genuine interest and care. Other
nurseries will often just tell you if they’ve eaten and that they were ok. She would every day tell me about funny little things that she did, that we had missed out on. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending.

My daughter has been with Ocean Day Nursery since she was 6-months-old and I can’t recommend the nursery and it’s highly dedicated staff enough. The team are amazing and have been integral to her development over the last few years. The premises are extremely clean, and safety is a high priority. Both
my daughter and I love this place and watching her skip in daily, re-enact scenarios with her dolls, and take pride in her achievements from the day gives me reassurance that I made the right choice.
