YMCA Nursery Andover

The staff at this nursery are second to none. I know they truly care about the wellbeing of my child. They are supportive and approachable and will always help where they can. I know I can trust them to meet my daughter needs and keep her safe whilst encouraging her to learn and grow.

The children spend lots of time outdoors playing and in any given day do a list of fun activities. I'm always amazed by how much they do and the ideas they come up with.

I am thankful to have found such a wonderful nursery that has helped my daughter thrive since she was a baby. I would highly recommend YMCA Andover to anyone.

I have experienced nothing but positive things during my daughter's time at YMCA Andover. She started at 9 months old, very attached to us as parents and it was a difficult transition but staff really eased us all through.

Daughter is now in toddlers, thriving, chatty and extremely active, beyond her age. I can attribute this to the influence of staff on her development and would not hesitate to recommend to other prospective parents. The staff are not just carers to my daughter, she considers them family.

Absolutely adore this nursery and the staff. Both my children attend here and even though they are very different children the nursery is perfect for them. Every day my children come home happy and thriving. All the staff know the name of every child not just their key children, they all chat and interact with everyone. Even when we went on holiday my children wanted to buy presents for all the staff in their rooms. We love this nursery and their staff.

Excellent staff, they all do incredible work at the nursery. They have helped my son transition and manage him perfectly from babies to the toddler group. I have seen him grow and develop amazingly and forever thankful to the staff.

I have no problems or concerns, and I cannot wait to watch both my children thrive in a place they love!

Our first child (daughter) went to the nursery when it first opened and she had such a wonderful time there. She had built strong, secure relationships with some of the staff there and she still absolutely loves it there, despite leaving a few years ago now. So when we had another baby, there was no question about where we would send him because they are all so lovely and caring at the YMCA. The experience we have had there is welcoming and caring. Our boy, who is now in the baby room, loves it there and the teachers are amazing.

Amazing staff and nursery. Honestly cannot fault anything. My daughter loved her time and misses the team very much. The outside space is fantastic and the children are always outside. They really work hard preparing the children for school.

I would recommend them to all parents in Andover, thank you YMCA!

YMCA is a fantastic nursery and I couldn’t wish for a better place for my daughter. The staff are all so caring, kind and they are a big part of the reason that she has developed into such a confident happy little girl. Any concerns have always been dealt with appropriately and fairly.

My twin boys attended the setting having never been away from me. From the first settling in session, I was made to feel totally at ease and I knew my boys would have the most amazing time. The staff are great - really friendly and informative of anything that needed discussing about my children’s development. I highly recommend the setting and I can confidently say I would not be if I didn’t think it was great!

My son has really enjoyed his time at YMCA. He started when he was just over a year old and has recently left for school and misses the staff already. All the staff have been amazing, especially the SENCO who has supported not only my son but myself, as a parent and nothing is ever too much trouble. I'm looking forward to enrolling my youngest son into the baby room next year.

YMCA Andover nursery is an excellent place. My daughter has learnt so much in her time spent there. The staff there are so professional and you can tell that their number one priority is your child.

My daughter was one of the first to join YMCA Andover when it opened at just 1-year-old. She’s been through all 3 rooms and started school this September. YMCA provided a fun, safe and supportive environment for her in which she thrived. She was always so excited about her days at nursery. The staff have been fantastic and we are extremely grateful to them all! My son is currently in Toddlers and has 2 years remaining at nursery. He is enjoying every moment and it’s been wonderful to see him grow in confidence.

My son started at the YMCA at the age of 1 year 1 month soon after the nursery opened its doors. He absolutely loved it ! He has just started reception and is so confident in himself. The nursery staff were so helpful over the years. They are passionate about what they do and I’m very grateful for all they have done for us. Thanks, ladies! Special mention must be made to six members of staff in particular.

The YMCA nursery in Andover have been superb in every way. My daughter absolutely loves the staff and other children and always looks forward to going in. The staff are kind and supportive, working tirelessly to give the children their very best. The cooked meals often get a good review from my daughter too. We feel lucky she is there.

The staff are welcoming and they greet the children by name but when it comes to working alongside parents they don't do this effectively enough. My godson is not school ready and the parent partnership is not to a standard I would expect for my godson.

The garden is a really good size, with many different areas with fun things to do. They use an app to keep parents updated of the kids' days, so I always know how my boy has eaten/slept, and on collection, I get an update on his day from the staff. Couldn't be happier - highly recommended!

My little man has been in YMCA for a year and a half and never have I had a reason to complain. My mind is thoroughly at ease and at peace when dropping him off in the morning. The care and support are exceptional. He is always eager to go to nursery. He has also made loads of friends with the other kids and staff alike. The daily activities and learning have helped shaped and developed his learning and speech. We are currently working on potty training and the staff are very supportive in this stage.

My youngest daughter has been attending YMCA Andover for approx 18 months. I have seen her blossom into a confident and caring child who has been well educated that will serve her well for when she attends reception class. The staff are amazing and are always attentive. They want the best out of every child.

My twins were not talking and were not socialising with other children when we came to YMCA. It’s only been 10 months now and they both talking and very socialised. When I pick them up, I get an update with all the things they did such as what they ate or what activities they were involved. Every 4-6 weeks we get to sit down and talk about their progress. We are super happy with all the YMCA staff and very sad to leave for the big school. Thank you so much with everything that you did to my babies.
