Elm House Day Nursery Gateacre

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.
