Overall Experience

Our child has been at HDC Kingsteignton since she was 7 months old. She is always so happy to go into nursery in the mornings and always comes out with a smile on her face. She likes to tell us all about her day and also talks very fondly of the staff in the toddler room.

Overall Experience

The nursery managers have been really helpful and adaptive to my situation and needs. The staff are always available to discuss anything, and you never feel rushed at drop off/pick up. The use of the app is really good, and is nice to see updates through the day. My son is always kept clean eg nappy changes. The health and safety is taken seriously. The food variety and frequency is great. Most importantly my son is very happy and content there. There is always nice activities for the children. The nursery is clean and modern. I am really pleased with how my son has settled, it's a great nursery with fabulous staff.

All of my 3 children have attended HDC and my son is there now. They have all absolutely loved it. The staff are kind and welcoming and all of my children have been happy and excited to go. There's a wide range of toys and activities and they have a great outdoor space. I genuinely have nothing negative to say at all.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about HDC! They are everything you look for in a nursery, they go above and beyond! Nothing is too much trouble and the staff are super accommodating and approachable. My daughter is thriving and absolutely loves all the activities they do, she always talks so positively about her day and how lovely the staff are to her. They always keep me up to date on what is going on with my daughter, and send pics of her enjoying her time- especially the fun day trips they have out in the community! I have already booked my son a place and I can't wait for him to get settled!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at hdc Kingsteignton

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. The team will be delighted to read how happy your daughter is and how much she is enjoying her days with us.

Our son loves going to nursery and the staff are absolutely brilliant. They helped him settle in right from the start in the toddler room and he is now loving pre-school and has amazing bonds with his room staff. The whole team are amazingly friendly, caring and proactive, always willing to discuss any worries and make us all feel at home. Could not recommend enough.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at hdc Kingsteignton

We are thrilled to read how much your son enjoys coming to nursery and that he settled so smoothly with the team's support. It is lovely to know he has built such strong bonds in pre-school and continues to flourish. Thank you so much for recommending our nursery.

Overall Experience

We've had a fantastic experience with HDC Kingsteignton. The staff are consistently friendly and welcoming, creating a warm environment for the children. Activities are engaging and varied, from painting and sensory trays to baking, and always thoughtfully planned. There's a clear focus on developmental milestones, with structured parent meetings that help us stay informed and involved. We also love the day trips, including visits to the pet shop, local farm, and charity food drops, which add real-world learning and community connection. The team responds quickly and appropriately to any illness or injury, and we're always contacted in a timely, reassuring way. We feel confident and grateful knowing our child is in such caring hands.

Overall Experience
My daughter loved this nursery from 10 months old up until she left to go to school in September.
Even when she was struggling to adapt to life in the pre school room as there were more children running around she was supported by her 2 favourite people (Rehanna and Amie-Nicole ) who were able to guide her through until her confidence grew.
Everyone who works there were so supportive and friendly and have definitely left their mark on my daughters life as she keeps wanting to go to visit to say hi.

Thank you HDC Kingsteignton

Review from Luke S (Father of Child) published on 26 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
What can I say? All three of our little ones have been to HDC Kingsteignton and we honestly couldn't be happier. Two have moved on to pre-school and school, one is still with HDC.
The staff are fantastic. Sharon has always been a fantastic support with anything we need and always tried to accommodate. The staff in each room are fantastic, however a special shout out to the amazing nursery workers in babies who have always gone above and beyond our expectations.
Our children have made very special bonds in the 4 years plus we have been sending our children to HDC Kingsteignton. Rehanna, Amie-Nicole, Becky and Angie have stood out particularly. With the foundation of these bonds, it has helped progress their fine motor skills and other skills such as using their cutlery at meal times, putting their coats on by themselves etc.

I couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough. They really have been incredible throughout. Thank you all for everything!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at hdc Kingsteignton

Thank you so much for trusting us with all three of your little ones over the years. It is wonderful to know how supported you have felt and how strong the bonds have been between your children and our team. We are proud to have played a part in your children's development and early years. Thank you for your recommendation.

Review from A M (Mother of Child) published on 15 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've had such a wonderful experience with Humpty Dumpty Nursery over the past year. My daughter started when she was 3, and right from the beginning, the staff made her (and us!) feel so welcome and comfortable.
The team is incredibly warm, caring, and clearly passionate about what they do. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands every day. She genuinely looked forward to going each morning, which says so much about how much she enjoyed her time there.

We're so grateful for the love, support, and fun learning environment that Humpty Dumpty Nursery provides. It's been such a positive start to her early education journey, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other families!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at hdc Kingsteignton

We are delighted to read that your daughter has been happy and felt welcomed during her time with us. It means so much to know that she looked forward to her days with us, and we are proud to have been part of her early learning journey. Thank you for recommending our setting.

Overall Experience

The team at HDC Nursery have been incredibly with both myslef and my daughter. The whole team are amazing but particularly two in particular who have just been phenomenal with my daughter. They are some of the nicest, kindest people we have the pleasure of knowing and my daughter is starting to settle in really well. They have answered all my silly questions, reassures all my worries and have made my transition back to work as stress free as it could have been. Ava has come on leaps and bounds since starting there.

Review from A M (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very pleased I chose this nursery for my child who has started in the baby room. A fully comprehensive tour was given including how they would evacuate all of the babies in the event of a fire. The staff take the time to get to know the children and I applaud their outstanding care of the entire group daily, as I often see them when they are at full capacity. Their equipment is keep up to date and new, all in working order and at a suitable height for the age of the children. They encourage development at the rate of each individual child and I believe that mine has benefitted greatly from an individual approach. Their use of the parent zone app (similar to tapestry as most will know it) is brilliant, I feel like I am kept up to date almost hourly with that's been eaten, nappies and fun activities. The nursery itself is probably the most expensive in the area but the quality of the care I can't fault. 100% would recommend.

Reply from Hannah Nabil, Marketing Business Partner at hdc Kingsteignton

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're so pleased to hear that your child is benefiting from our approach to development and that the updates through the app are helpful. It's wonderful to know you feel confident in the care we provide. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

I like that all staff know each child. Even though they may not look after my son they still know his name which I feel is lovely.

My son loves going and has built a good bond with his careers and settled well.

The staff are brilliant, really good and since being there my child’s sleep has improved so much. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Only one problem we have been waiting on the term time only for quite a while. With little to no information on when we could look at changing. We really don’t want to change but we are losing money.

Overall Experience

My son has a wonderful time at the Nursery. He has come on leaps and bounds since joining. He was previously with a childminder as I was concerned about how he would develop in a larger setting. All I can say is, I wish I'd moved him to HDC sooner. He's so happy and loves all of the staff. I really value that the food is freshly made on-site too. He gets such a variety and it's nice to be updated daily on the app where I can see he's trying new dishes that at home, he'd never even try. He's also made some great friends and the wider parent community is really lovely.

A lovely nursery. My little boy has been very happy here and has been well cared for.

He’s been happy in this setting. The only downside is there has been less feedback than when he was in the baby room.

This is a fantastic nursery, with very friendly and helpful staff and well organised and run. Our daughter will sadly be leaving soon to start school and I know she'll miss the staff but she'll leave with good memories. The nursery always feels clean, bright and welcoming with plenty of activities and choices for the children to do.

I absolutely love the nursery. The team are an asset to the business and shows genuine care for my child and every child in the room.
They’re warm and friendly and I feel happy leaving my daughter with them all day. The handovers are great and I feel informed when I pick up.

The environment is clean, welcoming and open which is a great thing for me as it means the children can be observed by all at all times.
