Review from Abigail O (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We loved nursery from the minute we visited. It has a calm and welcoming atmosphere and felt perfect for what we wanted. Storytimes has 100% lived up to this. Every member of staff is friendly and say hello and goodbye when you are there. They all know your children by name, even the staff not in your child's room. My children both love it, they have fun and have developed so much! Thank you!

My daughter has been attending Storytimes now for several months. I have been so happy with how she settled and how much I have seen her grow.
Her speech, play and interactions have all benefitted.

Overall Experience
Fantastic team of staff!
Always clean.
Great activities and themed days.
Selection of food on the menu is good and my toddler eats new foods he wouldn't try at home.
Have used this nursery for 11 years with my other children. Best in the area.
Feels like I am leaving my toddler with family, comforting, knowing he is safe and well looked after.

He goes in with a big smile and leaves happy after a fun day!

My son loves the two days a week he spends at Storytime. Every staff member is welcoming, friendly and genuinely care about the kids in their classes. Communication channels are excellent, through detailed handovers at the end of the day, email and the app that is used to track activities and progress.

The team at Storytimes has been wonderfully supportive over the two years my little one has been there. The activities on offer, the connection and attention provided all show how passionate the team are at ensuring my child grows and develops in the best way. If there have been any issues with my child or problems I have needed sorting they have approached it professionally, sympathetically and supportive. Its been a pleasure and I am thankful of the strong bond they have made with my girl. She has loved her time here and always comes home happy and full of joy.

My son has been at Storytimes for 3 months now and the change in him has been outstanding. My son has gone from not speaking much to being able to count 1-20 and do his alphabet at the age of 2. The staff are amazing and so accommodating. They go above and beyond. They follow safeguarding to a tea and I couldn't be happier.

Overall Experience
My son has attended Storytimes Nursery for 3 and a half years now - and I can honestly say that the team that worked with him in each room have been amazing. Each milestone he has hit and every learning experience he has thrived in have all been shared and supported by the storytimes team.

A special thank you should be noted for the preschool team who have really aided the children in understanding and getting ready for their next steps into primary school. Thank you.

Overall Experience

We are so grateful for the incredible care Sophie has received in the baby room. Having had Ellie attend in the past, we already knew the high standard of care provided, but the ladies in the baby room have exceeded our expectations! The staff are warm, attentive, knowledgeable and genuinely caring. The environment is calm and welcoming, and lots of engaging activities are planned. Sophie is always eager to go to nursery each morning, and we feel confident leaving her in their care.

Overall Experience

We have had a consistently wonderful experience with Storytimes. Our daughter absolutely loves her time there, and it's clear she feels happy, safe and engaged every day. The environment is warm, nurturing, and full of joy - exactly what you hope for as a parent. The toddlers team is fantastic. Their energy, patience and creativity shine through in everything they do, and it's amazing to see how much the children thrive under their care. We also want to share our appreciation for the support we received when our older daughter started at the nursery back in 2021. The team's kindness and understanding made a big difference in helping her settle in, and it left lasting impression on us. Overall, Storytimes has been a truly positive part of our family's journey. We are so grateful for the care and dedication shown every single day. Highly recommended!

Review from S W (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Putting my son into Storytimes is by far the best decision I ever made. Since starting in October 2024 after being at another local nursery he has come on so much. The nursery has such a personal touch. Every member of staff knows your child, welcomes them in on a daily basis with a big smile and open arms. The rooms are set up with so much thought for each child's individual interests to allow them to express themselves and thrive. The staff are amazing! So caring, encouraging and really spend time getting to know your child. Dropping my son off every day knowing he is going to have so much fun whilst learning makes it so much easier as a parent. The nursery is very well run, from management always being there to greet you with an hello or talk to you about something amazing your child did that day, to the staff in each room bringing out the best in my son, they really are real life angels. Thank you!!

Overall Experience
Choosing Storytimes as our son's nursery was one of the best decisions we've ever made. From the very first day, the warmth and professionalism of the staff made us feel confident and assured that he was in safe hands-and every day since has reaffirmed that feeling.
Our son has flourished emotionally and socially. He walks through the doors of Storytimes each morning with excitement and leaves brimming with tales of the day, newfound skills, and a skip in his step. His confidence, independence, and compassion for others have grown tremendously-and it's all thanks to the loving environment fostered here.

The nursery is a haven of creativity and play. Whether he's painting masterpieces, running in the garden, dressing up as a superhero, or building blocks, each day is packed with opportunities to explore, imagine, and learn. The staff and children have fantastic bonds, and this comes from the love and support all staff and children are shown, which in turn enhances wellbeing for all!

Overall Experience

I have two little ones at the nursery and all the staff have been amazing at helping them settle in and feel safe, happy and comfortable. If we have ever had concerns and raise it to a member of staff it is dealt with quickly and reported back to us. One of my children has dietary requirements and they always make sure she has a great selection of things she likes. The staff always go above and beyond with their learning and development. One has been amazing with helping my daughter with her reading and writing. And two other staff members are fantastic at giving feedback when picking them up and filling me in on what they have been up to in the day. They really have a fantastic team who really care for the kids.
