Springfield Infant School and Nursery

Our son has attended ducklings for the past year, he is very happy at Springfield. We find the communication from the staff to be excellent, the variety of learning through play and support is wonderful. Access to outside play and yoga! A really wonderful nursery which our son thrives at. We would always recommend Springfield for a wholesome, nurturing and creative environment that encourages children, not only to learn but feel safe and supported.

I'm very hopefully my daughter will carry on her early years schooling here as it's such a lovely place.

I feel really confident that his experience here will make the transition to school so much easier for him. It's lovely to see him gaining confidence to try new things and I think he's learning a lot too.

He has made some lovely friends there and it's so nice knowing that most of the children will be his friends as they go on to move through the infant school together. The staff are fantastic - so caring and nurturing and I really believe they know my child well and can identify both his strengths and areas in which he needs more focus. It's also so nice to be part of the wider school environment which will make his transition into reception so much smoother next year.

My daughter attended the nursery from the term after she turned 3 and absolutely loved it. There's loads of free play, diverse activities/facilities and a lovely big outside space. They did some structured activities too in prep for school and had yoga every Thursday. The staff are brilliant and take the time to really get to know each child. The preschoolers mix with the reception classes and have lunch at the same time too, which I think is brilliant prep for starting school. They're also included in school-wide assemblies and the Christmas production and christingle and more. My daughter has just moved up to Reception and the transition was seamless. I could go on and on!

Very grateful for all the hard work all of the teachers and carers at Springfield do.

My daughter has settled in straight away due to the super friendly teachers and welcoming environment. The app is used every day to let us know what our children have been up to and it's a joy to see how happy my daughter is there. They do such creative activities, lots of free play and singing. It's a great way for children to get used to a school routine ready for reception. Highly recommend!

I love that my kid is a duckling, he goes to nursery very happy every day.

He happily talks about his friends and teachers and it is lovely to see him so happy.

Amazing nursery and brilliant staff team. My son and daughter before him had a great time here. Many happy memories, long-lasting friendships and a good balance of activities. Communication has also been fab.

Both my children are really thriving in this school. One has been in Springfield since reception, now in year two, and the middle child has been in ducklings class for a year, and I hope my 3rd child will do amazingly when she starts in September.

Ducklings class at Springfield is a completely remarkable nursery. So nurturing, but also a great introduction to educational structure for little ones. The team are incredible - my son absolutely loves it. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a school-hours placement.

Our daughter has thrived here, thanks to the super helpful and attentive staff. It’s a good mix of assisted activities and free-play, outdoor and indoor, plus sometimes mixing with the older children in reception classes. This is really helping to ease us into a school environment and prepare our daughter for her first years. Our daughter has grown in confidence and independence, and we’re very thankful. Recommend!

Being term time and school hours means that I can collect both of my children together, and we get all of the holidays together still.

Springfield Nursery is a very warm and welcoming environment. The preschooler's mix with the reception children at certain points in the day with different activities. It has a nice outside, shady area. The teachers are lovely, with an emphasis on green living, recycling, nature and music/singing. The children do a yoga lesson once a fortnight. This term, the children have learned about colour through history, focussing on the colour green of the Statue of Liberty. The nursery is good for parents looking for term time only school hours provision. Recommended school uniform but not mandatory. Communication is good at pick up/drop off and a helpful 'communication diary' between teachers and parents. The app posts once or twice a week for a full-time child. The reception staff was very helpful, responsive and professional.

I would highly recommend Springfield Nursery. The team are attentive, friendly and professional, and incredibly caring. When our son started in September, being his first experience away from home, he was unsurprisingly quite anxious (as was I). The staff welcomed him in and reassured my husband and me that he was happy throughout the day by sending photos of him enjoying himself, exploring the classroom/outdoor areas and playing with others. Within days, thanks to the nurturing environment and excellent care from the staff, he was much more settled. He now talks about Nursery at home all the time; the fun things he has been learning, the friends he has played with and the teachers he loves. We can't praise Springfield enough for their communication; with regular updates on the school APP, text messages, phone calls and parent's evenings, we feel reassured that he is in the best possible care.... and, most importantly, that he is happy!

The nursery is fantastic. Our daughter has thrived and developed so much since she has attended. Their communication on general school news and individual reports on our child, are regular and very detailed.

Springfield is such a fantastic nursery with supportive and caring staff. My son was hesitant about going to a new nursery, but over time and through the care and commitment of the staff, he grew in confidence and really enjoyed the time he spent there. The fact it is connected to the school is an added bonus as when he moved into reception, he was already familiar with the school, dinnertime, playtimes, staff etc, which made the transition very smooth.

We have been so happy with the nursery for our son. The school is amazing and very nurturing, and you can tell the experience the staff have in helping the children feel safe and happy in the setting.

Springfield is an excellent nursery setting with caring and professional staff. They work hard to encourage independence, and they prepare children really well for the transition to Reception. The nursery is well-equipped, and I was really happy with how my son progressed there.
