Lovely friendly staff and warm environment. Thank you for all you do to take care of our daughter. She has moved rooms and grown with the nursery. We're very grateful for the safe supportive environment you give her.

Also, focusing on the process instead of the outcome would be great. For example, 'what are you doing here?' and 'is that fun?'; instead of 'well done' or 'good girl/boy'. I'd like my daughter to enjoy what she is doing and not do it simply for the outcome and because it will please others.

Excellent nursery, caring and friendly staff and great all-round experience. My daughter’s development has come on leaps and bounds in the time she has been in attendance (3 months) and comes home happy every day!

My little girl joined in January and it has been a pleasure to be able to drop her off at nursery and feel confident that she is well looked after and cared for. This is not just by her key person or the team that runs her room (who are all amazing) but by pretty much every member of staff that she...
My only ask would be for a sugar-free cereal or porridge/muesli or yoghurt and fruit options to also be available alongside the current breakfast choices, please.

There is an excellent team of staff. The content of the day involves engaging activities. There is good communication from the management on any day to day updates as well as planned activities/themes. Most importantly the children love it.

Our son has been at Dicky Birds for over 2 years and my daughter started in October 2021 as a 10-month-old baby. The atmosphere throughout the nursery is bright and friendly. Every member of staff is approachable and the management team are very hands on. I honestly could not fault anything the...
The staff in both my children's rooms are amazing. Each member of staff has such a brilliant relationship with my daughter in the baby room and I feel so confident with her in their care. The daily feedback received is insightful and a delight to hear. My son can be "shy" and "emotional" at times and his key worker and room leader have also provided such support and help with him. We would definitely highly recommend.

The staff are all incredibly friendly and engaged. They are attentive and responsive to the children’s needs. They set up fun and interactive activities on a regular basis. The food provided is also fantastic.

It has been wonderful seeing you all for the last two months and thank you for taking such good care of all the children, especially my grandson!

We love the nursery, the staff are all so friendly and helpful and really care about the children’s welfare throughout the pandemic. One thing that could be improved during the pandemic would be some form of video of the children in their classroom as we can’t now go in. Just to see their environment.
Overall, I am really satisfied with Dicky Birds. My children are happy there. I can see a few things where improvements would be welcomed where possible. It has been a bit frustrating not being able to go in the nursery and see the little ones in their room with the pandemic and it would be good to...
Another area of improvement that I see would be the diet. Some meals have multiple carbohydrates (peas, rice and corn can be in one meal sometimes). Though overall really good.
Thank you for your feedback we are delighted that your children are enjoying nursery with us. As rules have now eased we hope you have enjoyed popping back into the nursery for drop-offs and pickups.

Thank you for your feedback we are delighted that your children are enjoying nursery with us. As rules have now eased we hope you have enjoyed popping back into the nursery for drop-offs and pickups. It has been a welcome reintroduction for our team as well who have missed being able to meet with parents on a regular basis. We know that drop off and pick up can be very busy, especially when you have two little ones! We would also be very happy to arrange a meeting either in person or virtually with your son's Key Person at any time. We will soon also be introducing an online learning journal for parents to be able to communicate regularly with their Key Person via a secure online portal, and also to see regular photos and updates of their child's time and progress at the nursery. Following feedback from families we are also introducing some changes to our menus from mid-June so please keep an eye on our weekly newsletter and let us know your thoughts on our new menus.
Dicky Birds are amazing and my daughter is so happy there. The staff are very caring and have helped her to develop really well. They have handled the last year brilliantly, keeping us informed and making changes early.

I was very happy to observe that my son has developed great confidence, excellent social skills and loves reading books and is started recognising numbers as well.
We've sent both of our children to Dicky Birds and think it's a great nursery. The staff are fabulous, the setting and care is top-notch, great activities and the kids are always happy to go. We've recommended it to friends in the area.

We have loved Dicky Birds- my son will have been there for 2 years by the time he goes to school this September '21 and it's just been a joy!

I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Dicky Birds Raynes Park!
A lovely friendly atmosphere, with helpful staff. Our child loves attending the nursery, making friends and undertaking numerous daily activities. The menu is very healthy. We especially like the feedback form that we receive every day to better understand what our son has been doing each day.

Most important to us is that our 2 & 1/2 year old absolutely loves going to nursery! He goes four days a week and has the best time! We sent his big brother there as well and he also had a fantastic time. The staff are brilliant, so caring and loving towards the children and there's a clear...
Highly recommended and we will be sad when our little boy has to leave!
Wonderful nursery. Our daughter loved it and was cared for superbly. The staff are amazing and create a very trusting and caring atmosphere. We would have no hesitation in recommending to others looking for a nursery.

Our child has attended Dicky Birds for 2 years and has thrived in their care. The staff are friendly and caring, even more so over the last 12 months of the pandemic where we have been lucky enough for our child to feel safe every day at nursery. There is a great balance of fun and structured time, where games incorporate reading and writing from a young age. I would highly recommend Dicky Birds to anyone who is considering it.
