St Chads CofE (VC) First School

My daughter absolutely loves this nursery so much so that she asks to go on her day off. Lovely teachers and children. Teachers are always very welcoming, understanding and friendly. Everything I would want for my children.

My daughter attended St Chads First School nursery from September 2019 until she moved up into the reception class at the same school in September 2020. The nursery team at St Chad's are brilliant and my daughter missed them a lot during lockdown. The staff are extremely supportive and friendly and my daughter always came back happy. The nursery staff gives the children a very good range of activities to do to aid development and they provide excellent feedback to parents; I was very impressed with the amount of consideration given in the end of year report. I would very much recommend this nursery to others.

This is a lovely nursery. The staff are very caring and approachable. My daughter is happy to attend, is learning so much and has made lots of friends. Whilst the setting is limited to outdoor space, there is a forest school every week and that’s always popular with the children.

I have found the experience at St Chads nursery very warm and welcoming. Our son is enjoying his time there, so much so he asked us for more hours which I believe to be the best recommendation! The staff are always friendly and approachable. Our son especially loves Forest School and we love receiving the regular updates and photos of his experiences. It is a very nurturing, caring environment and certainly prepares them for school life without them feeling overwhelmed.

I have had four children that have attended the nursery and they have all loved it. My twins recently left the nursery to go into reception and I felt the nursery prepared them well for the change. The staff are all extremely friendly and approachable. My twins did not attend any preschool or nursery prior to the school nursery, however, they adapted well and I never felt any need to express any concerns or worries about the nursery.

Two of my children have attended St Chads First School nursery and they have developed really well throughout their time there. The staff are thoughtful and understanding of the children and parents alike. We are happy in the knowledge that our children are in safe hands!

A very friendly and inviting nursery, staff are enthusiastic, approachable and supportive at all times. Children have a range of lovely activities inside and outside including forest school learning opportunities.

St Chads is a lovely nursery. The teaching is excellent, the staff really care about each child as an individual and the children are happy and love attending. My children have been extremely happy there.

Very welcoming, nurturing and enthusiastic. Always greeted with smiles, kids love to check out that days activities. They are so happy to meet friends and decide what they will do together. I have never needed to raise any cause for concerns as to staff or premises, everything is to a high standard. Have yet to see an activity that has been overused, always something new. Always exciting - kids love it.

I would highly recommend St Chads nursery as the staff are so welcoming and nurturing. My daughter always comes home full of enthusiasm telling me about all the exciting things she has learnt (for example sign language for 'milk please' and all different shape names). Before school, my daughter is always excited about what activities will be out as there is always something new for them to explore.

My son has thoroughly enjoyed St Chad's nursery. The staff are all very friendly and very caring. I felt happy to leave my son in their care knowing that they would take the very best care of him. He has progressed amazingly and thrived in this friendly and supportive environment.

St Chads Nursery offered my child a safe, clean place to learn and grow. They were the first setting he had any experience of away from his family home. He made new friends socially and learnt valuable lessons as his independence grew. Staff are caring and considerate and adapt learning and the environment where needed.

My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time at St Chad’s nursery. They provide a very nurturing environment which has allowed my son’s confidence to grow both socially and emotionally. He has especially enjoyed Forest Fridays where they enjoy an outdoor lesson in a specially adapted area. I would highly recommend this nursery.

They have been brilliant with both my sons and their wrap-around care is amazing. All the staff are friendly and helpful and do a really good job of keeping you informed about your child.

The nursery at St Chads is fabulous. My daughter (who can struggle when separated from me) absolutely loved her time there. The staff really care for the children and her reading and writing came on leaps and bounds too. Definitely recommend.
