My little girl started at this nursery when she was 1, and is 4 at the end of the year. Every single room she's progressed into has been just as amazing as the one before. All the staff are so nurturing, kind and love the children like their own. My little one comes home and mimics the teachers of her current room, by pretending her toys are the children and seeing how soft, caring and fun she is with them and the activities she plays out at home shows what she gets up too in her preschool setting. It's heartwarming to know we are leaving our whole world in their very capable hands and they are all helping to shape her into the little girl that she is. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone. Thank you all at Burslem Kindergarten for all you do for my girl. We knew this was the right nursery the first day we came to visit and still to this day know it's the perfect place for our daughter to start her nursery/preschool journey. Xx

His development and progress has been second to none since starting, he loves all the staff and the staff will always without a doubt go above and beyond for him. The activities they do are amazing and are inclusive of all children, I always recommend this nursery to anyone that asks.

My daughter has been at Burslem Kindergarten since May 2025 and has slowly increased her days. The staff have been fabulous, welcoming and reassuring. There is always a warm welcome and my daughter absolutely loves it. The communication is brilliant, I am kept updated throughout the day and the app is so informative sharing meals, sleeps, activities and beautiful photographs.
My daughter's dietary requirements are met daily and nothing is ever too much. Thank you for welcoming us with open arms! Highly recommend this home from home setting.

A Truly Outstanding Nursery - More Than Just Childcare Our son has been attending Burslem Kindergarten since he was just 10 months old, and now at 2 years old, we can confidently say that choosing this nursery was one of the best decisions we've ever made as parents.
From the very beginning, the staff welcomed us with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Leaving your child in someone else's hands is never easy, especially in those early months, but Burslem made that transition incredibly smooth. We were constantly reassured by how attentive, nurturing, and communicative the team was-and still is. Every caregiver and educator there treats our son like one of their own, and that level of personal care is something truly special.

After our first nursery closed, we had to find a new one, and due to work, I couldn't have the same induction experience as before. Still, the transition was seamless. My little one started in the baby room and settled in quickly, thanks to the incredibly caring staff. Within weeks, my child was happy to go in, which was such a relief. Now, 2.5 years later, I can confidently say this nursery is fantastic. The entire team, including management, is warm, friendly, and truly dedicated. I love the creative activities, and I've seen so much progress in my child's development. A special shout-out to the chef-there must be some magic in that kitchen because my child eats everything there but refuses the same meals at home! Other great aspects: Spacious, safe outdoor play area App to track progress, photos, and meals Fun themed parent-child sessions Older sibling camp Easy parking
5 stars-thank you for your amazing work!

No point in choosing this nursery. The staff were generally good and kind to our child. We felt welcome. Until the first contact with the owner, we realised that the owner was an incompetent person. She did not like us the parents to question about my child's health and safety issues. She found that was offensive to her. Then she asked us to meet and insulted us since walking in. She talked aggressively and kept pointing to us with her special finger. She did not allow us to talk. She shouted and ordered me not to look at my husband - absolutely shocking! We are not your servants! You can imagine how she treated the kids as a nursery director in the nursery. She still owes us the pre-payment deposit of £156.

Would highly recommend this nursery. My twins have been going here for around a year and have come on in leaps and bounds. Their increase in confidence and abilities/knowledge has been amazing! As a parent who suffers with extreme anxiety, I feel confident leaving them here knowing they will be safe and cared for. The staff are lovely and super friendly and will always go the extra mile to help when necessary too. If you're looking for a local nursery, I'd highly recommend! My boys will surely miss their friends and teachers come September, but I'm certain they've made memories to last them a lifetime.

My twin sons came to Burslem Kindergarten 6 months ago. Both have additional needs and we were struggling to find somewhere they would settle. The manager and the staff here are absolutely amazing! The boys settled very quickly and got excited to come to nursery every day. The progress they made is massive, and have just left to go to school. I really can’t recommend this nursery enough and will definitely be back with my new baby when she is ready for nursery.

I have over 30 years' experience working in schools across Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire since completing my NNEB qualification, giving me a wealth of knowledge and a thorough understanding of children's developmental milestones from the very earliest stages of childhood through to the end of the primary phase. This experience enables me to lead and support our team effectively, ensuring every child is encouraged to make meaningful progress and reach their full potential throughout their early years journey.
I have always been passionate about supporting children to grow into confident, capable young people. I particularly enjoy bringing creativity into the nursery through art, messy play and imaginative activities, and I love that every day brings something new for both the children and our team.

I have worked in childcare for over 23 years since completing my NNEB qualification. During my career, I have supported children from birth to nine years old, progressing from Nursery Nurse to Nursery Manager while completing a Foundation Degree, a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies and, more recently, a Level 3 SENCO qualification.
I am passionate about being a hands-on manager, supporting both our children and staff to reach their full potential. I love watching children learn, grow and develop into confident individuals while building strong relationships with their families. Supporting teams to continually improve practice and create the very best environment for children is something I find incredibly rewarding.

My childcare journey began at the age of 14 when I completed a voluntary placement at a local nursery. I loved the experience so much that I returned during my school holidays before studying for a BTEC National Diploma in Children's Care, Learning and Development.
Since then, I have gained valuable experience across several nurseries and have developed a real passion for supporting young children in their early years. I particularly enjoy watching children progress through each room within the nursery, developing new skills, growing in confidence and preparing for their exciting transition to primary school.
