Sowing & Growing Nursery and Preschool

Sowing & Growing has been such a lovely place for my child's early years. There's a great mix of fun, hands-on activities like gardening, watching chicks hatch, and visits from paramedics, firefighters and police. The staff are so warm and approachable. It's always easy to talk to them, and they keep you in the loop - which really puts your mind at ease. My child has come on so well socially and emotionally, and I'm really proud of how confident they've become. They've also loved learning phonics and are now really into sounding out words - which is a great head start for Reception. There's a real sense of community too. Events like sports days and graduation parties are such lovely moments for both kids and parents. You can tell the team puts so much heart into everything they do.

The children truly thrive in the setting, growing in confidence and skills. Where some children are struggling the staff spot it early and communication with parents is excellent.

My twins have had such a lovely experience at Sowing & Growing. The staff are caring, supportive, and truly attentive to each child's needs. My daughter is autistic and the way they've embraced and supported her has meant so much to us. Both children have made great progress and come home happy every day. We're really grateful for the nurturing environment they've created

It'll be a real wrench to leave when our son starts school. We're so grateful for everything the team has done - S&G has been such an important part of his early years.

Our child has attended S&G since his first birthday and we have been super impressed with the care. The staff are a very tight-knit family who take time to build connections with the children and their parents. We would thoroughly recommend!

The overall staff is very good. They conduct different learning activities for children.

We feel very lucky to have found such a fantastic place for our daughter to grow, learn and thrive.

A special place, arguably one of the best nurseries in the area. Family-owned, modern, inclusive. Bright spacious rooms for each age group (0-2, 2-3, 3-5), a lovely garden for the kids to get fresh air on a daily basis and burn off energy. Parents are welcome all the way inside for drop off/pick up (as opposed to the front gate like other nurseries) which allows a real insight into the business and the atmosphere on any given day, and facilitates communication between parents and staff. All sorts of stimulating activities e.g. Yoga/sports/music sessions, trips to the local library and playground, learning about different cultures via 'language of the month', and even observing caterpillars turn into butterflies and chicks hatching from their eggs! The best thing about the place is of course its staff - so many vibrant personalities, all of them warm, diligent and genuinely caring. Management & Directors too are present, communicative, and engaging. We'll miss Sowing & Gowing when our daughter graduates!

Fantastic nursery! My son has been going since he was one and has had the best time at Sowing and Growing. The staff are caring, nurturing and attentive. They have fun and stimulating activities for the kids, an excellent space with a beautiful garden, and nutritious food. My son is about to go to reception this year and is so sad to be leaving, he's grown and developed so much at the nursery forming bonds with his friends and the staff.

Fantastic nursery. Much love and care went into creating the space and facilities. Friendly staff and lots of activities for the children. Our daughter races to nursery every morning - she loves it there.

Our son started very small, and they took great care of him. He is now 18-months-old, and he's particularly enthusiastic to go and spend the day doing great activities, creative, musical, outdoor, sportive etc. The staff are very approachable and go to great lengths to design interesting and diverse activities for kids. The emphasis on communication is very valuable; the kids learn the Makaton language very early on. There are weeks and/or months themes based on the calendar, such as black history month, pride month, under the sea week etc. The management is great, very responsive and keen to address all concerns. We were lucky to get a spot.

Sowing & Growing is such a lovely nursery. My daughter absolutely loves it. She started nursery when she was 1-years-old, and she settled in really quickly. The staff are just amazing - both in terms of the activities but also their communication with you. The nursery has such a lovely community - we feel very lucky to have found this place!

We absolutely love Sowing & Growing. My daughter has been going since she turned one and settled in so easily there thanks to the wonderful, attentive staff. They really do go above and beyond to make sure both the parents and little ones are as happy as possible, and they have created a really close-knit and supportive environment. I particularly love the focus on language and Makaton they follow - my now 18-month-old daughter communicates so well because of all the time they spend developing these skills. The nursery is also a really lovely space, with a great garden out the back.

Our little one settled so quickly at Sowing and Growing. The staff are so caring and lovely; there are plenty of updates and communication throughout the day. The babies get up to so much in the day! Really recommend it.

Sowing & Growing is such a wonderful place! My son has attended since he was nine months old, and he settled in very quickly. The staff are attentive, enthusiastic, kind and go out of their way to address the needs of each child, recognising them as individuals. They put so much effort into organising a variety of exciting, educational activities. You really couldn’t ask for more in a nursery; I’m delighted we found Sowing & Growing!

We feel so lucky to have found Sowing & Growing Nursery and Preschool at the beginning of our baby's time in the nursery. He is thriving. The team has built such a wonderful community and so clearly lives their values.

Such a great new nursery! Loving and responsive staff, very child-centred, and a beautiful space. My two year old loves it there, she has settled very fast with help from her key worker. Highly recommended as a space.
