La Maternelle Family Childcare - Nantwich

My girls have settled so well at the nursery. All the staff are caring and friendly. I genuinely feel like I trust the staff and my girls speak so highly of the staff when they are home. It’s a really lovely personal environment, I would highly recommend and wouldn’t go to another nursery.

The staff at the nursery are fantastic with my little one. He skips in to see them and always has big hugs for his key worker and as a parent, this makes bringing him to nursery something I look forward to. I know he loves every minute there and the setting is amazing. Since being at nursery he has started to pick up so many good habits such as eating at the table. The staff are always happy (don’t know how they do it). They always ask how he has been and if there is anything they need to be aware of and always give a thorough debrief at the end of each day. Where learning opportunities arise, they deal with unwanted behaviour in a constructive way that really sinks in with my little one. I feel so lucky to have found such a special nursery for my little one to grow in.

Staff is very caring and friendly. The children have different activities every day and they love to go to nursery. The management team is very approachable. One of the best things is that the staff doesn't change all the time (I had that experience in a different nursery). The children are able to see the same familiar faces, which is so important at a young age. The nursery is very organised. The parents can see photos of the daily activities via an app which is really good. The food offered to the children is healthy and is nutritionally balanced, with a wide range of dishes. Very happy with La Maternelle!

My son loves going to nursery and we can’t fault it. The staff are fantastic, it is well structured and there are lots of activities set out. The staff are also very good at keeping you posted throughout the day on eyLog as to what they are doing. Highly recommended.

Great nursery, my son loves it, the staff are amazing and caring, and I love that I can see how he is doing through the EyLog when he is there. It’s a great peace of mind that settles my mind when you're worried how he’s doing. Would completely recommend this nursery.

When our nursery changed hands right after lockdown, we were anxious about the impact so much upheaval would have on our 1-year-old son. We shouldn't have worried. He has such a great bond with his key workers, is developing so well, and learning so much, and is excited to get to nursery every morning. He shouts "Hat, bag, shoes" from the minute he gets dressed!

A great nursery. My child has no trouble going off with the staff, there aren’t any tears and he always is very excited when we pull up in the car. I’m informed throughout the day of his activities and his eating routine. It’s a lovely nursery with just as lovely staff.

I have been very happy with the care my daughter has received from La Maternelle Nantwich since they took over fromElmscot earlier this year. She has come on leaps and bounds with speech, confidence and eating by herself. She is always happy to go and marches straight through the front door without so much as a "Goodbye Mummy". Although there has been a lot of staff changes all of the girls I have met seem lovely and always make a big fuss of my daughter.

La Maternelle is a very welcoming family orientated nursery. My son started a few weeks before lockdown and had already settled really well in the Sunshine Room. After lockdown the nursery was very accommodating in allowing my son to have settling in sessions and sending me and my wife many pictures to show us how happy and settled he was. Every day we receive many lovely photos and updates to tell us exactly what he has been doing. All of the staff have been very welcoming and kind. My son has such a strong relationship with his key person and previous key person, he is always happy to go to them in the morning. The staff have helped my son through transitions well, with moving rooms and sleep changes they have always been very supportive. My son also loves the food, he eats more at nursery than he does at home. The menu offers a wide variety of meals and they must be delicious or he wouldn’t eat it!

The regular feedback throughout the day via the app is also great.

Thank you all for your hard work and dedication!

Thank you to all the staff who look after my daughter and have helped her blossom into the little star she is today!

My daughter has been extremely happy since starting at this nursery and her development is clear. We feel confident that she’s in a happy, safe and educational environment on a daily basis. The staff are so friendly and clearly have wonderful relationships with all the children.

Elmscot is a great nursery setting that I would strongly recommend to friends and family. The staff are really friendly. Since my son has started nursery he has gained confidence when interacting with other children. I think this is largely down to the encouragement with staff and key workers and the friendly atmosphere throughout.

Excellent day nursery, my little girl enjoyed going every day, friendly staff and fantastic management. Children are the heart of everything.

We commute every morning, even when I work in my hometown; just to ensure he goes to the best standard nursery around.

My daughter loves going to nursery and is thriving. They are a wonderful, approachable staff who care about every single child’s development, and treat every child as an individual. Nursery provides training for parents on all different topics. A very warm atmosphere when entering the building. Very nutritious home cooked food.

Since my daughter has been attending Elmscot it’s helped her leaps and bounds with her walking, speech and general development. I can’t be more grateful to all the hard working staff at the nursery you're a credit to what you do day in and day out and my daughter adores you all. Many thanks!

I found the nursery very clean and tidy! Staff are very welcoming, friendly and approachable they made me feel at ease when leaving my little boy for the first time. They know all children individually and plan activities for them that encourage their development. Staff offer useful advice e.g potty training, eating and sleeping and put on great workshops for parents to attend. The thing that really impressed me was how well they safeguard the children when someone new collects and love the secure fingerprint system.

The staff here are truly amazing and always go above and beyond to satisfy the children’s needs. They have a personal relationship with each child and make my son feel very welcomed each and every day he attends. My son absolutely adores going to pre school and can not wait to get there in the morning, he comes home with so many stories to tell about what he’s been up to during the day. I really can not recommend this nursery enough, my son has been attending two days a week since he was 11 months old and there has not been a day when I haven’t dropped him off knowing he’s safe, well-nourished and entertained for the entire day. I truly trust the staff at the nursery and I will be sad when he leaves for big school.
