Atelier Nursery Bath

We feel so lucky that we found Atelier Nursery Bath, our family have been a part of this setting since 2016. Our children are happy and confident and love exploring and learning and Atelier Nursery have played a large part in their development. The relationships with the team are key to the nursery's success, the staff are engaged and the activities and resources are wide and varied. We loved that children are able to explore the whole setting at their own pace and are not restricted to certain areas. For us, the free flow has been brilliant for our children to be able to play together as they would at home. Can't recommend Atelier Nursery highly enough.

Atelier has given our son the most wonderful start to his educational journey. He loves his time at the nursery and spending time in a free-flow setting that allows him to learn and play with all ages who attend. Staff ensure a nurturing environment and focus on child-led learning. The team are passionate and caring about their work and all the families that attend. Our son is bilingual and they have been great at supporting this at nursery, using keywords that he uses at home. I would recommend the nursery without hesitation to anyone looking.

The care they take building a team is incredible, they are all phenomenal. My girls have thrived here and I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Atelier Nursery Bath has provided a nourishing and caring environment for my son since he was 10-months old. He is now a confident, bright and happy 3-year old and we can’t thank Atelier Nursery Bath enough for their investment in his development and growth. They are constantly providing opportunities for learning and educational play with creative activities including clay work, water, story-telling, cooking and outdoor activities. So many things that I could not have done for him at home. They also provide a varied and nutritional diet. I cannot recommend them enough.

Our daughter spent three happy years with the manager and her team at Atelier Nursery Bath. She left as a kind, sociable and emotionally intelligent four-year-old. The connection she had to her key worker was deeply loving, secure and nurturing and also reassuring for us as first-time parents. Our daughter has thrived at school since leaving Atelier Nursery Bath and we are eternally grateful for the time, care and effort Atelier Nursery Bath put into her development. Despite moving some distance from the nursey after the birth of our second child in 2019, we had no hesitation in sending him to Atelier Nursery Bath, where he is currently looked after admirably by his key workers. Our son has a strong connection with his key workers and they play a large part in cultivating the caring, loving and sensitive child he is today. Our son, unfortunately, contracted sepsis and bacterial meningitis whilst at home with us in 2020, the fantastic support all of the team at the nursery provided us during his 4-weeks in the hospital was invaluable.

Our son, who has special educational needs, has been at Atelier since September 2019 and has received incredible support - over and above what we would have ever expected of an early years setting. As a result he is thriving beyond our wildest expectations. He joined just a few months before the effects of the pandemic took hold. I was impressed how incredibly open and supportive the team were throughout that stressful time, providing daily inspiration for activities to do with our children at home; songs, videos, links to virtual art gallery tours, staff cookery demos - the list goes on. Atelier have since worked hard to secure additional support for his speech and language needs, and have helped him put strategies in place to overcome his anxieties around noise and transition. He's transformed from a shy, anxious boy to a confident child who's more than ready to start school. This seemed hard to imagine just a few months ago. Thank you Atelier!

Free flow idea as much as it appears great in theory in practice sometimes resulted in a lack of ownership as to who actually looked after my child that day. Child may engage in activities however I felt my one often chose not to hence his experience was limited.

We love the format of the family groups, with a mix of ages which we know stimulates our son well and allows him to gain so much from the people around him, forming lovely relationships. Similarly, the free flow nature of the nursery itself is building his independence and confidence to explore, able to move to the space or activity he is drawn to day to day, moment to moment. We only wish we could stay and play all day, there are always so many different thrilling activities going on.

There are many things I love about Atelier. My little one is such a sensitive soul and the entire team has been so loving and supportive from day one. It took ages to get him settled and everyone involved from management, his keyworker, whoever was at the door at drop off, were so welcoming and warm. Everyone knew his name from the beginning and that to me instantly made me confident that he was in great hands. I love the free flow concept and feel like all the children seem so happy there. So thank you Atelier.

Atelier is the most wonderful nursery I could have wished to send our children to. Both of our daughters have loved their time here. The environment is relaxed, inspiring and welcoming, as are the staff. It feels more like a family than anything else and they will always go the extra mile. If your child enjoys feeling free to explore, learn and grow, then Atelier is for you, without question.

The key family structure is such a nurturing aspect of this nursery! The staff are so caring and focused on child-led learning. The staff are always so enthusiastic, empathic and warm!
