Elm House Day Nursery Gateacre

My little boy has been here since October 2021. He is only in 1 day a week but is now starting to settle and play and eat well. The girls always keep me informed on how he’s doing and if he’s been having fun and doing well or a bit unsettled. They always say feel free to call and check on him through the day. They are lovely welcoming girls. I like to receive his daily slip which sets out his nappy changes, food/milk intake, naps, and little daily update of play. It really helps to keep me in the know about how he got on that day. I really like the layout of the nursery. The nursery will also provide a print-out of photos if you ask them which is lovely.

My son has been at this nursery since Feb, he absolutely loves it and always coming home with a fun story to tell, the girls have always got time to talk and the Manager is lovely they are so interactive with the children and always doing educational fun things with them, I have never thought twice about the nursery from the minute I walked in it’s spotless up to standards and my boy looks forward to going in, could not rate it enough.

My son started at this nursery after moving from another. I was worried he would miss his old routine, surroundings and friends, but the girls are amazing with him.

They even gave me a canvas with pictures of him from his first day, which was a lovely gesture.

The owner and manager are lovely, really approachable and assuring.

My son has been on lots of lovely little trips with the nursery, including the library, park and fruit/veg picking, which he loves.

The nursery itself is spotless, bright and full of children's artwork. They have a toy for every child's interest and a lovely outdoor play area.

I am really pleased I picked this nursery, my son has come on leaps and bounds. He has settled wonderfully, made lots of new friends and loves the staff.

I would highly recommend this nursery.

Such a lovely place. All the staff are great. My daughter has lots of fun and always runs in and has a smile on her face. She has made lots of new friends and comes home with lots of paintings and drawings, which I love to see.

My little boy loved his first week at nursery! He has never been to nursery before and whenever he’s been left its always been with family. This was the first time he was left with people he didn’t know. I was worried at how he would react especially after lockdown and not being able to interact with new faces. He really surprised me and ran into nursery both days. The staff made me feel so reassured and comfortable which made it easier for me to leave him. The staff are all lovely, easy to talk to and are all really genuine. The nursery is immaculate. No weird smell like nurseries tend to have. A lovely outdoor space. Set back and all gated away from the main road. I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

Where do I begin! My daughter has never been to nursery before. I was really worried that she wouldn’t settle in as she hasn’t left us before, especially with lockdown etc. She walked straight in, and when I went to pick her up she didn’t want to come home and ended up staying for longer! She’s already asking to go back. She did loads of activities. Climbing outdoors, painting, watering plants, coloured in. The nursery is immaculate and has every toy you can think of and a lovely outdoor play area too. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and she already loves them. She even tried food she’s never tried before. Got a little pack of homemade play-doh to make at home and a lovely canvas of photos to show her first day. Highly highly recommend this nursery to anyone. My daughter can’t wait to go back!

We registered our son at this nursery to start at the beginning of January. We are very pleased with what he has learnt so far. All of the staff especially the manager have made us feel very welcome, and on his 1st day, he brought home pictures of what he was doing on that day. Would recommend this nursery.
