Mill House Day Nursery

As a family new to the UK, choosing a nursery was overwhelming. We first assumed big chains would be the best option, but everything changed when we walked past Mill House one Sunday and saw the owners personally caring for and improving the setting. Despite being busy, they warmly welcomed us and showed us around, and that kindness stayed with us. As a family-run nursery, it feels safe, personal, and genuinely caring. The staff know every child and family well, and families know the staff too, creating a close and trusted community. Parents collect their children directly from their rooms, encouraging open communication and friendships with other families. The nursery supported our son through important family changes with great care and understanding. Their annual events bring families together, and we've made good friends there. Our son became confident and school-ready, and now our younger child attends too. We are deeply grateful for the care, patience, and community they provide.

Mill House Day nursery is exceptional to say the least! The nursery is bright, vibrant, colourful and most importantly clean! It also has a modern feel. The rooms are all a great size with a variety of activities which was really key for me. Then to top it off the garden is large, well kept and also provides a variety of things to do.

From the owners to the staff, every single one of them were so warm and friendly. They knew the kids so well and you could tell they were all so passionate, not only for the kids but for this nursery.

Our son went there from 9 months old and I can honestly say he couldn't have been more well cared for. He was consistently happy coming in and going out. His speech developed rapidly and he was always well mannered and polite which was such a reflection of the staff there. During pick ups the handover notes were thorough and you could feel the passion from the staff and that they genuinely cared about him.

I could not recommend this nursery more!

The facility is lovely, with spacious rooms and an amazing garden. We actually moved further away from Mill House some time ago, but we have kept her there (even though it's not within walking distance now) as we really didn't feel we could find the same level of care elsewhere. Thank you for an amazing 4 years Mill House!

A lovely family centred nursery. The staff genuinely care about the children they support and you feel very welcome as a family. My three year old loves going to nursery. Would highly recommend Mill House nursery.

We're so happy with Mill House Nursery! Our second child is currently attending, and just like with our first, the care and attention he receives is outstanding. The staff are warm, supportive, and truly dedicated. It's a lovely, nurturing environment where our child is thriving. Highly recommend!

I truly cannot praise Mill House Nursery enough for everything they do. It's a wonderful place, and we feel so lucky to be part of it.

Our experience of Mill House Day Nursery has been only positive. All staff and management are collaborative and engaging, always ensuring we are kept informed of the developments, activities and experiences of our child who is now in her third year in this setting. During this time we have marvelled at her growing confidence and ability to express her needs, desires and feelings. Not once has she exhibited any reservations or discomfort in attending MHDN, which is very much a home from home for her. This is as much as we could have hoped for and we believe, the best compliment we could offer.

Our daughter loves going there each day and we will be sad to leave when she starts school in September!

We absolutely love Mill House Nursery! Our daughter is having the best time there from the moment we dropped her the first day until now. The teachers are the heart of the nursery, they are caring, fun, supportive and wonderful role models for our child. We are kept informed on her development through the app and we can actually see her progress at home. Fantastic setting full of love and creativity!

All the staff and management are excellent and genuinely caring - she has formed a bond with almost everyone. Most importantly, as a parent, I always feel she is very well cared for - and that peace of mind means everything.

Calling Millhouse a nursery would be short changing it. They are a support group, a community builder and knowledgeable carers who will always seek to do what is best for the child. When my daughter was going through some of the more challenging times of being a child, they held our hand and helped us through it. I still remember the hesitation I felt when we were first thinking of sending out child to nursery and I wish I knew how well it would pan out in the future. If there was a 10 stars button I would press it as they deserve each one of them. Grateful for the love they gave my child.

Exceptional nursery experience for my 18 month old. A caring and nurturing atmosphere with professional and skilled staff. It also feels very personalised for each child and their needs. My daughter has flourished since attending and can't wait to go through the door every morning!!

As a first time parent it can be hard leaving your child in someone else's care, but I genuinely couldn't ask for a better group of people to look after mine any my partner's son. I have absolute faith and trust in all of them. They are some of the most caring and lovely people I've ever met. All at Millhouse have had, and continue to, play a huge role in all areas of my son's development. I couldn't be happier with the choice we made, and I couldn't be more thankful to everyone at Millhouse.

I honestly cannot say enough positive things about Mill House. My Daughter has attended the Nursery since she was 11 months old and the care they gave during her settling in period was above and beyond. She surprised everyone with how quickly she settled into the nursery (she was very clingy to me) & I genuinely feel this was because of the loving and comforting environment that they have created. Everyone who works in the Nursery seems to genuinely enjoy being there and shows a real level of care towards the Children. My Son who has now left the Nursery and joined school always wants to come with me to drop off his sister as he misses the nursery and staff so much and they always welcome him with big smiles and cuddles. I can't thank The Owners enough for everything they do and the Nursery they have created - we are very lucky!

I cannot recommend it enough!

They provide such a nurturing and supportive environment for our child, and we are so grateful for the exceptional care they provide.

Excellent facilities and fantastic staff. My daughter has developed so much since she has been at Millhouse and I would not hesitate to recommend it anyone seeking a friendly, nurturing and positive environment for their child's first steps into education

Our experience with Millhouse has always been outstanding. The team create a home from home for the children and parents alike. They are warm, welcoming and supportive. They have created a benchmark for a nursery environment that always continues to exceed our expectations. Our oldest daughter was there from baby room right through to graduating pre-school and our youngest has now worked her way up to the pre-school room. She really enjoys going to nursery and is never eager to leave the end of the day. The outdoor space is also really great, so much for the children to explore and interact with, something quite hard to come by in London. I cannot speak highly enough of the entire team and will continue to recommend to anyone that asks.

Excellent on all fronts; educational activities, play opportunities, environment and facilities, staff and comms are top-notch. Children are taught how to behave in society to high standards. The owners are great at creating a family feel and always available. Children learn and have fun in what I'd describe as an emotionally and physically safe environment.

The best thing that could have happened to us is for the precious nursery we had our son at to be suddenly closed without warning, because this led us to Mill House! Mill House is an absolutely wonderful nursery. We have had both of our sons there, one is still at preschool, and we could not be happier if anyone else was looking after them while we are at work. They are approachable and accommodating with any issues, which takes the stress out, but also do an amazing job at equipping our children for the future. They really invest in their learning so they can confidently start school with the best grounding, complete with a graduation ceremony that was a particular highlight for everyone in my older child's class. What is really impressive as well is how they have successfully built a true community of the families who go there. I often hear other parents say how much they'll miss Mill House as they only have a year left - I feel the same! Absolutely a home away from home for my boys.
