My daughter has been going for a year now and she has had such a wonderful experience. Any concerns from a nervous parent are thoroughly put at ease with the staff's attentiveness and attention to detail. She has so much fun whilst learning lots of new things. She thoroughly enjoys the walks around the grounds of the school and the lunches provided are nutritious which she has second and third helpings of! Thank you to all the wonderful staff for taking such excellent care of our little girl.
My daughter has had the best time at Cumnor and I will be so sad when it comes to an end next year. The staff have been extraordinary and are all educated to a high level which makes such a difference to their learning.
We moved our son to Cumnor Nursery in January 2023. We were slightly apprehensive as he’d been settled at a Forest School Nursery but we were keen to move to more of a pre-school setting. Our worries were entirely unfounded. The warm, friendly, caring and deeply kind staff went above and beyond to ensure he settled quickly and put us instantly at ease too. He’s quickly developed bonds with staff and other children; his speech and development has come on leaps and bounds and most importantly, he’s visibly excited each morning when we pass through the gates. We couldn’t ask for a better setting!
Cumnor Nursery is a very nurturing environment for the children where each of their individual needs get paid incredible attention. I have had both of my children go through this nursery and I couldn’t be happier. The range of activities is extremely wide and the children get to learn a lot about the world around them. I know they are in perfect care and I trust all of the staff completely. I couldn’t wish for better care.
My son has been at Cumnor Nursery since the age of 2, the whole environment and journey from Bees, Caterpillars to Butterflies has been just wonderful, he really has grown his wings in preparation for reception. I can only thank the wonderful staff who makes his days so enriching, educational and joyful!
The nursery is terrific. The facilities are great, the staff ratios appear to be higher then legally required, the children always look happy, as do the staff. The staff will go out of their way to make sure your child is cared for. My child runs in everyday which is such a joy and relief as a parent.
Wonderful nursery with fantastic teachers. The facilities are amazing and there is a great range of activities for the children to get involved in. My daughter loves her time here. I couldn’t ask for more.
Cumnor nursery is an extremely special place. Happy, confident, supported and loved; the children have the very best early years experience! We feel so lucky that our children get to enjoy the jam packed days that Cumnor has to offer.
A place for nurturing and developing a child. Having a baby in COVID time meant that we had to support our child in not being shy or scared. This was the perfect place to develop that. We moved to the area as soon as we found this amazing nursery.
The staff are so thoughtful and there is always brilliant communication. There is a very nurturing environment but the children are given structure and boundaries. My child bounds in and there is never a dull day.
A wonderful and caring setting for my son. The staff go above and beyond to make sure each child’s needs are met. For a child who was born into lockdown I couldn’t wish for a more nurturing environment. It’s been lovely to watch him flourish and grow at Cumnor.
My daughter is moving up to reception in September and I feel so sad to be leaving Cumnor Nursery School behind. Both my children went there from 2 years old and I cannot say enough good things about the nursery and its incredible staff. The teachers are so kind and creative; bringing the best out of the children and ensuring that they have a thoughtful and well-rounded start to school life. Both my children were very relaxed and happy throughout nursery, forming good friendships and acquiring key skills which prepared them for the move into Reception. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Cumnor Nursery School.
Cumnor Nursery has been absolutely amazing for my son. The staff is beyond great and they’re so lovely with the kids. The nursery itself and the surroundings are amazing, and they even have their own forest school. They do so many great activities with the kids including yoga, cooking, PE, swimming, music and dancing and my son absolutely loves going there.
Our daughter has been thriving at this nursery from the moment she started going 2 years ago. The level of care, learning and activities provided by the staff are incredible and the facilities are amazing. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, caring and always keep parents up to date daily with lots of pictures, commentary and individual observations on how children are doing and what they have been up to. We cannot wait to bring our youngest daughter there as soon as she is old enough to go.
My husband and I can't speak more highly of Cumnor Nursery. We moved our little boy from a previous nursery he had been at for a year and he settled in so well. The space in the nursery is fantastic inside and outside. He is always excited to tell us what he has done and constantly speaks about the staff which makes us feel so comfortable and happy with the care he is getting. The staff are amazing with both the children and the parents. It is also lovely to see a breakdown at the end of the day of what he has eaten and what he has done. This is a fantastic nursery!
Cumnor Nursery is a very special place. We had our daughter in another nursery before she reached 2, which was a lovely place. But now we are at Cumnor you realise how unique it really is. The teachers are all so attentive and caring and committed to providing the best possible place for children to grow up and learn, in an amazingly happy and vibrant environment. The fact that my daughter gets PE and dance lessons is wonderful and further adds to the variety she gets on a weekly basis. The facilities are brilliant and benefit from being on school grounds. I really couldn't be happier and it's worth everything to know how safe and well cared for my daughter is when I drop her at the front door each day.
Our son recently started going to Cumnor Nursery and he is absolutely thriving. He has made lots of new friends and really loves his teachers and they take really good care of him. They are very observant and let us know how we can foster his passions at home. We can't wait for our 9-month-old to start there!
My son has been attending Cumnor Nursery since September 2021. He only does two short days and he absolutely loves his time there, skipping in each day. The teachers are caring and engaging. The setting itself is glorious - so much to play with and inspire these little people! My son particularly enjoys the outdoor woodpecker sessions in the woods, building camps and exploring. I would recommend Cumnor Nursery for anyone looking for reliable and nurturing childcare.
Cumnor Nursery is an amazingly caring and nurturing environment. Our son has been attending since August 2021 and absolutely loves it. Not only are all of the teachers amazing, they are so inventive and keep the children really engaged throughout the day with lots of fun activities. The fact that they are part of the school, with all the amazing facilities, is a really big bonus because the preschoolers are becoming familiar with the school setting.
