Our little girl started Ocean Day Nursery when she was 12 months old and just left for reception class. She loved her time at Ocean Day Nursery and will miss the brilliant staff. I highly recommend this nursery!

When my son started the nursery he couldn't speak and I was worried about his development. In the space of two short months my son can not only talk but can sing songs. Cannot recommend the nursery enough in terms of cleanliness and how helpful and supportive all staff are they really cannot do enough.
They have excellent structures in place regarding play and learning and I wish I had known of this nursery sooner. The nursery is open plan and is bright and airy. They really encourage your child to flourish.

My grandson loves nursery, he gets very excited when I pick him up and when I say to him we are going to nursery. We feel he has become a really happy boy and he settled in excellently. He laughs on the way in and gets upset on leaving. He has also bonded with the fabulous nursery nurses. He claps his
hand when we arrive. The food at the nursery is excellent and he never goes away hungry. Fabulous place.

My son has been at Ocean Day Nursery for around 5 months now and he has progressed so much already! He loves going and is always full of beans when I pick him up, excited to tell me about his day. The staff members are so friendly and nothing is ever too much for them. He thoroughly enjoys his time
there! So much so my youngest will be starting there in 2 weeks at 8 months old and I am very happy that he will enjoy his day just as much as my 2 yr old!

We’ve always found the staff to be pleasant and welcoming. Our daughter has developed great interpersonal skills and is confident in general because of daily exposure to other children in a happy environment.

My son has attended Ocean Day Nursery for the past 12 months and he will now move to start his academic journey which leaves us all very sad. Will still use the nursery for half term. We moved to this nursery from a city centre one as they were much more flexible to accommodate my requirements than
other nurseries more local to us. It was totally worth the change we did. My son has never loved going to nursery before as much as he does now. Their help with potty training was fundamental. His English has improved immensely also (it is not our main language at home) and he goes on and on about his days at the nursery and talks a lot about one member of the team, in particular! We will miss her very much. I do recommend this nursery to everyone. And the perk of attending the adventure play centre every other day is definitely a great benefit.

Friendly, caring, lovely staff, always interested in my son's well being. My little boy loves going to Ocean Day Nursery and is always full of joy when I collect him at the end of the day. The staff do so much with the children from messy play, painting, reading, games, story time etc And I love receiving
the photos they take and they always keep me informed of his daily progress. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at Ocean Day as what I can describe as a velcro baby. He now loves going and really thrives with the amazing staff. It didn't take him long to come out of his shell and show the boy we all see at home. The staff accommodated his needs and allowed him to move into toddlers earlier than
planned. To sneak a peak through the door and see him playing happily is unbelievable.
The staff also put up with my phoning every 5mins to check he was doing ok in the first few weeks!
Amazing staff and amazing nursery. Highly recommended!

We have used Ocean Day Nursery since April 2017 and we are sad that our daughter will be leaving this August as she starts her school nursery journey.
We have had the best experience with Ocean Day that our daughter asks to go every day. The activities provided from messy play to role play are hugely
enjoyed by our daughter. Her ability to count in English and Welsh is impressive! The care and encouragement we have received we no doubt have a little girl ready to take her next step all thanks to Ocean Day Nursery.
We recommend Ocean Day 100%, even though we have our daughter leaving preschool we have secured our place for our little boy to join babies in October. So we are very excited to start his journey with Ocean Day Nursery!!
Keep up the excellent work Ocean Day!!!

Amazing nursery, I totally trust staff to look after my five-month-old son. Plenty of various activities for him to pursue that stimulate the mind and keep him busy. Great for him to learn to socialise, share and gain various skills with peers and staff.

My son has been attending Ocean Day Nursery since March 2018 and I couldn't recommend them enough. He settled in really well with and has built some really nice relationships with the staff. Since he's been there he has come on leaps and bounds from his eating to talking and general learning and development.
He has also enjoyed crafts including painting and making mother's day and father's day cards which has been a lovely touch. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family.

My child has attended this nursery for coming up to a year now and the progress that she has made by attending here is amazing, she now knows how to count to 10 in Welsh and can count to 15 in English. She always comes home with a smile on her face and she is also very happy to come back to nursery
every day. We are very grateful for the time and effort they put towards her and would happily recommend this nursery to anyone that asks. The nursery provides me with lots of information so I know how well she has done that day and know how much food she is having, also what she has enjoyed that day. Thank you for looking after my child she loves playing at nursery.
