Our daughter has been 5 days a week at Mill House since she was 8 months old. She is due to start school in September. Mill House has been the most wonderful constant in her life. Everyone who works at Mill House is so professional, kind, caring and fantastic role models for her. She has had so many wonderful experiences and met so many friends. Staff at Mill House are excellent at communicating and addressing issues and the nursery has enriched all of our lives as a family. Children and parents are welcomed in like family and are treated with respect, fairness, flexibility and kindness. I could not have asked for a better place for our daughter to prepare her for school and we will be desperately sad on her final day.
Thank you for your lovely review. Where has the time gone? We'll never say goodbye, only see you soon! We have very much loved having your little one at Mill House, it has been a pleasure to watch her grow for the 8 month old baby that joined us to the young lady she has developed into. We...
Such a family like environment within the nursery. Our son has been attending since he was about 18 months old and I always feel at ease dropping him off. The days are versatile and filled with both play and learning. Everyone from the class teachers, to management to the chef do the upmost best to provide the best care to all the children. Our Son is leaving for school in August and will miss this nursery so much. The chef makes a diverse range of meals within the onsite kitchen and our son comes home excited to tell me what he ate today as the meals feel like home. We love the managers so much for providing such a comfortable environment for years.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Chef will be so pleased that his cooking has received such a wonderful review! We will be so very sad to say farewell in August, but it will just be a farewell as we know that you'll stay in touch with updates. Thank you again.
Everything about mill house is fantastic. The level of enthusiasm from the staff at the start and end of the day, the clear advancements in our children.
Our oldest is at school and we genuinely feel her time at mill house gave her a head start.
Nothing could be better.
Thank you for your lovely review, we very much appreicate you taking the time to review Mill House and I know that the team will be thrilled to know that their work is so valued. We are all passionate about our work here and it is so rewarding for the team to receive such supportive feedback. Thank you again.
Mill House Nursery has been a wonderful experience for our family. The staff are warm, professional, and truly care about the children. Our little one settled in quickly thanks to the nurturing environment and the strong relationships the team builds with each child. The activities are varied, educational, and fun, from outdoor play to creative arts and storytelling. We love receiving regular updates and photos, which give us real peace of mind. The communication is excellent, and it's clear the team puts thought into every detail. We feel confident and grateful knowing our child is in such safe, caring hands. Highly recommend Mill House to any parent looking for a high-quality, nurturing nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review which the team will be so thrilled with. We are so grateful that you chose Mill House for your little one and that you feel so supported and reassured by the team, I know that they will really appreicate your feedback which acknowledges the important and very special work they do. Thank you again!
Mill house has really helped and encouraged my child to thrive to the best of his ability. All of the staff and extremely friendly, very helpful and incredibly informative. Every evening I am given a full breakdown of my child's day, from what meals and they ate and whether they ate for breakfast lunch and dinner to what games they played and which friends they interacted the most. I am also given updates by my child who always enthusiastically tells me about his day and what he learned. I can see the growth in him every day and I am really appreciative of the whole team as a collective and the commitment given to helping all children excel. Notice boards are updated constantly so we know what meals are scheduled for the week and we are sent lovely photos of fun tasks and games on the online app, so I can also have an informed conversation at home with my child which encourages him to be as descriptive as possible about his day, with my small prompts due to seeing the online app.
Such a lovely review, thank you! We love having your little one with us, although he is nearly as tall as me now! Thank you also for your support and encouragement which we all very much appreicate. Your little one is creative, and fun to be with (lego ice skates - who would have imagined?!)....
The staff are truly amazing-always warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. It's clear they genuinely care about the children and create a nurturing, positive environment every day.
Recently, my daughter also started attending the nursery, and the settling-in process was handled beautifully. It was well organised and thoughtfully done, which made it a smooth and reassuring experience for both of us. I can already see how well she is being looked after.
I literally have zero complaints. I'm so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for my children. Thank you to the entire team for everything you do!
Thank you for your wonderful review which the team will appreciate very much. We are so grateful that you chose us for the care and education of your children. We will soon be saying faewell to your older child but we'll still be a part of your family as we support your young one during her journey towards school. Thank you again.
Right from his first day in the baby room, now into toddler room, he has been encouraged to explore the activities that interest him, allowing him to develop his personality and build relationships with the staff and his peers.
Our daughter had an equally wonderful experience, having enjoyed two years at Mill House. We feel so fortunate to have Mill House on our team!
Thank you for your great review! We are so pleased that you chose Mill House for your children and we have loved every minute of the time we have spent with them. We look forward to supporting your younger one as he follows in his sisters footsteps through to his graduation and entry into formal...
The entire team at Mill House was amazing. Each staff member was not only highly skilled but also genuinely cared about the children in their care. They created a loving and stimulating atmosphere that encouraged our kids to explore, learn, and play. It was so heartwarming to see how engaged and happy our children were each day.
The communication from the staff was excellent, with regular updates and feedback about our children's development and daily activities. This made us feel included and confident in the care they received.
We highly recommend Mill House Day Nursery to any parents looking for a safe, fun, and enriching environment for their children.
Thank you for everything you did!
Thank you so much for your lovely review which we will share with the team. We were blessed to have the opportunity to have your family be a part of our Mill House family and we enjoyed being a part of the early learning journey of both children. We know that you'll stay in touch! We'll see you all soon!
I and my husband have always had high standards for child care, especially since it was our first child. Mill House exceeded our expectations, not only are they a family-run business, but the owners are on the frontline every day they run the nursery with their hearts. They put the needs of every child and parent first. I’m so grateful to all the wonderful staff who introduced a safe, structured learning environment for our son. Our son started at 8 months old and what made us so happy was the nursery having a wonderful, calm, clean, happy, wholesome, and homely atmosphere. With its independent sleeping area for the babies. Baby room, toddler room, and preschool have developed our son's social, literary, numerical, physical, and emotional skills to prepare him for school. I’m so proud of how independent he has become and how well-prepared he is for school. Mill House is a magical and wonderful start for any child. Thank you for all your support over the years!
Thank you for your lovely review which I have passed on to the team. We have loved being a part of your family and we have so much enjoyed spending time with your wonderful children. We have so many lovely memories of spending time with both children as well as very fond memories of our BBQs and...
The people working at Mill House in the rooms and office truly are more like a family than a service or necessity and you feel like they are developing the child individually and nurturing their interests not just sticking to a rigid curriculum. They have encouraged our daughter's curiosity and imagination and she has developed real affirming skills to take her forward into school.
We were really sad to move up to 'Big School' and leave Mill House behind. We recommend Mill House to anyone who asks at any time.
Thank you so much for your very positive and wonderful review. I thought that I had already responded so my apologies for the delay in responding. I have shared your review with the team and they are thrilled at receiving such kind feedback. Your daughter was a joy to care for from the very time...
The staff truly stand out for their unwavering commitment to the well-being and development of each child, creating a warm and nurturing environment. The rooms are well equipped and the activities are not only educational but tailored to promote creativity and curiosity allowing my child to thrive. Communication is key, and Mill House excels in keeping parents well informed. The safety measures in place are commendable and I always feel reassured knowing my child is in a safe and clean environment.
What sets Mill House apart is the personalised attention given to each child. They took time to understand my child’s unique needs and interests.
I am grateful for the positive impact they have had on my child’s early years. In summary, they exceeded my expectations in every aspect.
Thank you so much for your lovely and very positive review which I have shared with the team, they will be thrilled with your feedback. We have very much enjoyed being a part of your family during the last 2 years and we appreciate you remaining in touch with us and keeping us updated on the...
When we discovered our eldest had difficulties speaking, the team went above and beyond to support them, and improvements were made because of this. The management and team at Mill House have made the nursery feel like a home- a safe and happy place, a second family to us.
Thank you for your lovely review which I will share with the team. We have loved being a part of your family's early years experience and it has been an absolute pleasure having you all at Mill House. Thank you for your very supportive comments about our settling-in process which is very much led...
My daughter attended Mill House from when she was 14 months until 4.5 years old- when it was time to move on to Reception. During this time, she was very well taken care of and learnt so much, developing and growing into her own individual and independent self. The staff go that extra mile to assure you that your children are settled and happy, involved and engaged in their activities. During preschool, as parents, we were guided to understand what our children really need to know before school and how we can support them to develop these skills, especially around communication, feelings, self-care and independent feeding. The transition to reception was met with a level of excitement and confidence that the staff at Mill House instilled in the children, as they were prepared for the next adventure, possibly more than I was as a parent. Mill House Nursery is an extended family for both the children and the parents, and I would definitely recommend it.
Thank you so much for your lovely review which we will share with the whole team. We loved being a part of your little one's early years and we are so enjoying being a part of your second child's early years. Thank you for choosing Mill House, we take a family approach to the service we provide and...
My daughter enjoyed every moment of her nursery time, staff made sure she is always looked after (including her medical needs).
Staff and nursery owners worked relentlessly to make sure their students were well prepared to transition into Reception schools and always inspired children and parents by leading by example. My daughter absolutely loved/loves her nursery and because of such a positive experience, she now loves every day of reception school too!
I could not have made a better decision for my daughter than to enrol her with Mill House Day Nursery! Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your fabulous review which we will share with the team. We very much loved being a part of your little one's early years and we were so proud to see the fantastic transition she made to 'big school'. We enjoyed being a part of your family and we are very grateful that you chose Mill House as your nursery for your daughter. See you soon!
Our son joined Mill House from another nursery when he was 3 years old until he started school. I cannot overstate how brilliant this nursery is and how happy our son was when he was there. The level of care from the whole team is second to none, and it extends beyond the children to our families as a whole. The staff have built a community within the nursery setting that has made life as working parents so much more bearable. Their door is open for any issues we might want to discuss. The setting is safe, nurturing and stimulating for the children and our son had made such strong bonds with the friends he made while there. His transition to school has been that much easier because he was so well prepared and ready for big school even if he was so sad to leave. We now send our younger child to Mill House too and his time in the Baby room and now Toddlers has been brilliant too. A truly exceptional nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review which I will share with the whole team. It has been a pleasure having you all as part of our Mill House family and we have loved being a part of your early years experience. We always strive to be as supportive as possible to parents as we know that the service we...
Thank you Mill House, we appreciate you!
Thank you so much for your very kind review which I have shared with the team. We loved having your lovely son with us, he was with us from our baby room through to leaving us for reception and we enjoyed every minute of the time he spent with us! Thank you for bringing him in to see us a couple...
Genuinely finely feels more like we were dropping Elsie off to relatives and she was always happy to go to nursery and would chat about her day when she got home each day. She always wants to come and pick up her sister with me or her mum just so she can come and see everyone.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your fabulous review which I will share with the team. We have enjoyed being a part of your family's early years experience and we were especially proud of the transition your oldest child made to big school. We are very grateful for the ongoing friendly support and encouragement you...
My oldest daughter was at Mill House Day Nursery from 10 months old until 4 1/2, it really was a wonderful experience for her and fully prepared her for starting school. The staff are brilliant, always finding ways to encourage her individual interests and build her confidence and independence. I also found that they go the extra mile with parents - my daughter struggled with nursery drop offs for a couple of weeks after the first period of lockdown, and the staff would always call or message me after I'd left to let me know she was now settled and happy, playing with her friends etc., which I really appreciated. My youngest also started there at around 10 months and at nearly 2 now she is happy, confident and her language has developed very quickly. She loves going to nursery, especially the garden activities, and has formed great bonds with the staff. I'm so happy we found Mill House and would recommend it to anyone!
Thank you so much for your lovely review which our teams will really appreciate. We have had so much fun with your girls and we are so pleased that we still see big sister when she drops her little sister off to the baby room! Our morning office routine wouldn't be the same without her popping in...
As a mother, it is so comforting to see how excited and happy my daughter is when she goes to nursery every morning. She loves her teachers, mentioning that everyone in the nursery is extremely friendly and caring. Her development has excelled over the last months which is great to see. They also have lots of fun activities which my daughter loves! So happy I chose Mill House nursery.
Thank you so much for your lovely review which I will share with the team, they really will be delighted to receive your feedback. Your little one really is part of the Pixies Team! She loves to play and she loves to be active and involved...there's nothing she'll not try! Thank you again for your review!
My daughter has been in Mill House Day Nursery a couple of years now and has moved from the baby room to the toddler room and now the pre-school room. It has been a delight seeing her grow up and make these transitions in Mill House (and, of course, a source of immense pride for me). I am very well-informed of everything that is happening with my daughter when she is at Mill House and the transitions have been very well managed, in a way that suits my daughter rather than be something pre-conceived based on her age. And now that I am thinking about reception and primary, Mill House has been very active in working with the schools I am considering, both to help me prepare and make them aware of what my daughter needs and where she is in her development. All the staff know my daughter well and seem to genuinely care about her well-being and her development. Really feels like a wonderful community at Mill House and really happy that my daughter is part of it.
Thank you so much for your review which I will share with all three teams, they will all be delighted to receive your feedback! It has been an absolute pleasure to care for your little one and it's hard to believe that 'big school' is already on the horizon! It's a way off yet though so no need for...
