Review from M M (Mother of Child) published on 5 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending the nursery for 3 and a half months, in such a short space of time she has learnt so much and we are very happy with the activities she is included in which has helped with her development. The staff are all very friendly and happy to answer any questions we have and have done an amazing job with the weaning process which has helped us massively and we can see she is very well fed from the feedback we get from the staff at the end of the day. The resources available to the children are amazing for development and the environment is very clean and relaxed. Most importantly, our daughter is always excited to see the staff and happy to be left when we drop her off so we know she is happy and in safe hands.

Overall Experience

I was so nervous at first for my daughter’s first day in May, the staff have been so accommodating and walking me through the process. The facilities are great very developed, the standards are high. I get a daily report once I pick her up which is so great. The menu daily is very nutritious and well balanced. The staff are caring and so great the moment we walk in and always reassuring, my daughter absolutely loves it here. I’m so glad I picked a great nursery where she is happy.

Overall Experience

My son has been in the baby room, tweenies room and in the toddler's room now. We have found the staff to be kind, empathetic and taking good care of all children. They are also responsive and have taken on board my concerns and views on many occasions which I really appreciate. The kids are engaged in various age-appropriate activities during the day which really helps in their overall development. The handovers are very good as well.

Review from Alex S (Father of Child) published on 4 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been with the nursery since she was 12 months old, and she absolutely loves it. She is currently in tweenies and seems to get on brilliantly. It is the little things that count but one of my favourite parts of the nursery is that everyone seems to know our daughter's name, irrespective of whether they work in her room. We are really happy with the nursery and would happily recommend it to anyone. Thanks all!

Review from J B (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my son and daughter attend Kids Planet Apley and are absolutely thriving! They are well looked after and well fed. Always in a good mood when dropping off and picking up which tells me they're comfortable and feel safe and loved by all staff members. Staff are really helpful when it comes to potty training and they listen to any queries you have and will help in any way they can. Handovers are done at pick up so you know exactly what the children have been up to during the day, how they've slept/played/eaten, etc. I'm really grateful to Apley for providing such a high standard of care to my babies! Highly recommend!

Review from G E (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was a toddler. We transitioned from another local nursery and it was the best thing we ever did. The nursery is well resourced, spotlessly clean and you just know your child will be safe and cared for. The staff are excellent - energetic, enthusiastic, professional, caring, astute and very supportive. The managers are extremely approachable and go above and beyond to help and support families. She is currently in preschool and the activities they do are meaningful and tailored to the children's interests. They regularly do creative activities and cooking and she has had opportunities to do dance and craft clubs. She has so much fun and has come on so much since starting there. We have no doubt that she will be 'school ready' by July despite being a summer baby. The outside area is wonderful and there is a wide range of things to do. We asked her what the best bit of nursery is - the dinners and her teachers! A big thumbs up from her!

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves attending Apley Village. She is currently in pre-school and has been here since a baby. She always looks forward to attending, enjoys playing and learning with her friends and never stops talking (very positively) about the staff! I have been really impressed with her learning. Her range of language is growing all the time and although she won’t attend school until Sept 2022 it is really clear to see how well prepared she will be! I’d thoroughly recommend to any parent. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Since moving to the Telford area our son has attended The Lawley and Apley Village Day Nursery. We have seen our son's academic ability increase and improve significantly since he started to attend this nursery. His social skills and listening ability has also greatly improved. The staff at this nursery are very welcoming and have shown true kindness to our family. His teachers have been very patient and helpful in his continued development.
