My son has a great time at nursery which he attends 4 days a week. He goes running straight in each morning and is so excited to see his friends and teachers he no longer turns around to wave goodbye! A fantastic combination of learning while having fun means this is a great choice of the nursery that feeds into the main Cumnor House school.
Her interaction and social skills have greatly improved.
Her English has also come on leaps and bounds.
Overall we couldn't be happier as parents.
Cumnor is an amazing nursery. We have seen such positive changes since moving our son here. The environment is perfect for them to learn and grow but I think the most exceptional part is the staff. They are the most engaged, caring and passionate staff who genuinely want to change/promote learning at every opportunity. I can't imagine a better nursery anywhere.
The team is fantastic, and the setting superb, not to mention the amazing facilities and range of activities. It’s been exceptional in every way so far, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
I cannot say enough how brilliant the Cumnor Nursery and staff are. My child is always happy to go. She started at age 2 and I’ve not once had her cry when I left. The days are planned with multiple learning activities, the staff are engaged, knowledgeable and kind. They focus on all aspects of development. The facilities are excellent. There is an outdoor forest school area where the children explore. The food is excellent and homemade on site. There is not a negative thing I can say. I love it but more importantly so does my child.
We sent enquiries to a few nurseries following our move to the area but we knew as soon as we visited that we were going to send our daughter to Cumnor Nursery. The grounds, the facilities, the atmosphere, it’s just great. The whole team are absolutely fantastic and offer such a warm, nurturing environment, we couldn’t be happier. We have watched our daughter blossom and she absolutely cannot wait to get there in the mornings.
My daughter has been in this nursery for two years now and I could not be happier. I have just enrolled my son too. The care is outstanding and the children are offered so many activities. The rooms are bright, clean and colourful and there is so much space to dance, play and run. Their meals are well balanced, they go outside every day and enjoy time in the woods too on some days. My child could not be in better hands and she always comes out beaming with a thousand stories to tell. I can only praise the dedicated staff and facilities.
I haven’t got sufficient superlatives for Cumnor Nursery. The staff are beyond amazing, the atmosphere is calm, yet stimulating which allows children to thrive. The facilities are fabulous. Most of all there is a feeling of warmth and kindness. Your children are in safe hands here.
As part of Cumnor House, Sussex, the children have access to all of the school’s facilities. This means the breadth and quality of the experiences the nursery are able to give the children is second to none. They are out every day on long walks exploring the grounds; they use the sports hall for gymnastics and other games with the sport’s teacher; they visit the music room with the music teacher and next term our daughter will be swimming in the onsite pool. This is on top of the usual creative and imaginative play you’d expect.
The team are experienced, mature and always happy and friendly. Many have been there a long time. The nursery is flexible and adaptable and makes the life of a busy parent easier.
Finally, and most importantly, I know our daughter is very happy there.
Put quite simply, it is the most fun place to be a child.
Cumnor Nursey is simply amazing. From the minute we set foot in the building, we knew it was going to be the right place for our daughter. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, and the care and attention they give the children are outstanding. The facilities available are second to none, and the rooms always look and feel very clean, bright and appealing to all. We are grateful to everyone at the nursery for their attentiveness and professionalism and have no doubt how happy our daughter is there. We would wholeheartedly recommend Cumnor to anyone and will be very sad when the time comes for "big school"!
Just wonderful - the energy and expertise of the teachers is second to none. The variety of lessons and activities is incredible. The most wonderful, nurturing, happy place for any child to start their education. The facilities are amazing. It's faultless!
Cumnor nursery is such a special place! All three of my children have loved their time there, making friends and being so brilliantly taught and cared for by the wonderful staff. The opportunities they have with music, dancing, woodland walks, swimming and sports are all fantastic. What lucky children!
My daughter has loved her time at Cumnor Nursery for the last year. She has enjoyed doing all the arts and crafts, woodland walks, dressing up, lego and loves "baking". This nursery is amazing, always have a lovely, friendly environment, which is why the children thrive!
Another great year at Cumnor Nursery for our son; we couldn't be happier with him being there and can't wait to send our next child too. We still love and appreciate the consistent and thoughtful updates from the nursery about his days and their days in general. As he's gotten older he's really enjoyed getting involved in the wide range of activities that Cumnor Nursery provides too, which keeps him interested and engaged; he often brings home his new learnings and shows us what he's been up to!
We have been absolutely bowled over by how fantastic the nursery is. The staff are wonderful, they are genuinely attentive, proactive, inspiring, kind and helpful. So in spite of our son only been there a couple of months, they seem to know him so well. In addition to this, we have been particularly impressed with the quality of the facilities, the diversity of the activities and the attention to detail. Our son absolutely loves it here, we couldn’t be happier. We would highly recommend Cumnor Nursery to anyone!
I leave my child of a morning happy in the knowledge that she is having a very happy, educational and secure preschool experience. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and obviously liked so much that they are talked about at home. The manager is incredibly experienced and can manage some of my daughter's behaviours which at times can only be described as challenging. The range of activities offered at such a young age is fantastic and I get reports of dancing lessons, swimming, art, music and sometimes baking. She gets lots of outdoor fun and is always happy to go. I have no reservations about recommending this nursery to anyone.
I would highly recommend Cumnor Nursery, my daughter loves her time there. They have such fun-packed, varied days full of activities that focus on practical learning as well as lots of creative and imaginative play. The staff are all so friendly, you get regular and detailed feedback each day as well as comments on your child(ren) specifically and the indoor facilities and outdoor space that they have access to are fantastic.
An absolutely fantastic nursery! My two girls have absolutely loved attending. They bounce into nursery in the morning happily and they always come out with beaming smiles and full of excitement at the end fo their day! The staff are exceptional and we are so privileged to have our girls as part of this superb nursery!
I am so pleased with the care and education that my daughter is receiving.
Particularly at the moment with everything closed, it is fabulous that the children are having such a whale of a time at nursery. The role play that they use as a base for learning is fabulous and gives such opportunity for development as well as really capturing my daughter's imagination. Having the school facilities means that the current restrictions outside of nursery are much less of an issue.
The staff are hugely experienced and so kind and caring with the children and so helpful with advice if required.
I also feel that the school/nursery are good at taking feedback on board - they certainly aren't resting on their laurels.
