My daughter has been in preschool at dicky birds and is thriving. The staff are all compassionate and create structured activities that enhance her learning and prepare her for reception. Forest school and sports weekly are amazing activities that get her enjoying the outdoors. The class size is smaller than our previous nursery which has been excellent for my daughter. She runs in every day! I'm sending my youngest daughter there too when I go back to work. I would 100% recommend this nursery, especially if you value consistent faces, kind teachers, thoughtful activities, and making sure you child is ready for reception.

Our son has been at dicky birds Raynes Park for 7 months now (he is 18months old) and he seems to really like it. They have been excellent with his dietary requirements.

Our son has been at the nursery for a year and a half, and it's hard to put into words just how grateful we are for the care and love he has received. From the very beginning, he has been so happy to go in every day, always full of smiles and excitement. He has built such strong connections with the staff, and it's clear how much he is loved and supported there. Everyone has been amazing with him, nurturing, attentive, and genuinely caring-but we are especially thankful for his Nursery Practitioner. The bond they share is truly special, and we will always be grateful for her presence in his early years. It's incredibly hard to say goodbye to such a wonderful place. This nursery has been more than just childcare-it has been a safe and loving environment where our son has grown, thrived, and felt deeply connected. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Our daughter's carers are great, personable and really care about what they are doing. More updates for the Monday and Fridays would be appreciated as it feels like most activities and updates are on Tuesday to Thursday. We haven't been best pleased with the constant change, be it in staff, management or the rooms/groups. It's been all over the place. Lastly, the code on the doors has been the same for at least two years, which might be a risk?

My son is still fairly new to Dicky Birds, Durham Road however I am already so impressed with the staff and facilities. The team in the Puffins room in particular are wonderful. They are kind, compassionate and nurturing and their communication has been excellent. I always appreciate their honesty on how my son has been each day and feel like they really care about him and how they can give him the best experience while attending dicky birds. After only 2 sessions, my son and I had a day off together and I asked him what he would like to do that day. He said ‘Go to nursery mummy, to see the ladies and the children’ - I think that sums everything up perfectly really. Thank you Puffins team, you guys are brilliant at what you do and we’re very grateful for all your hard work and care.
