Our little girl has been going here for nearly two years and absolutely loves it. The staff are immense and is definitely a safe environment for little ones to grow their minds and have fun too. Our little boy is only 6 weeks old and we've already put him on the list to go here in February 2024.

A lovely nursery. My child has taken a while to settle but the staff have all been brilliant in helping her feel safe and welcome. All the staff are extremely friendly and keep me well informed throughout the day with how she is doing. Every morning you are welcomed with a smile from all of the staff. Thank you

Overall Experience

Our little girl loves it here, all the kids seem very happy when we are there, the staff are great and nothing is too much trouble, always able to call or email about anything. Get lots of feedback and updates on learning and progress! Lots of activities like cooking, planting etc, lots of different foods introduced at nursery. Opening times are great and would highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Jay S (Father of Child) published on 4 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Was a great nursery in the past worthy of five stars, the past 6+ months more like 1-3 stars as we've had some issues regarding rising fees and the lowering quality of the service, hygiene/cleanliness seems to be falling, unacceptable staffing ratios, child coming home with unknown injuries and generally poor communication.
The floor staff are fantastic and try their hardest to provide fantastic attentive care. Unfortunately, some days there have not been enough of them to safely do this. We are also sad to see some staff have left/leaving however we can fully understand in light of the above why and wish them the best in their new jobs.

Hopefully, the above problems are just temporary and they will improve again in future. Especially considering the £7 a day price increase.

Review from Alex M (Father of Child) published on 21 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Absolutely all members of the staff are lovely, they really show they care and my daughter greets them like a family member. They regularly share what she's up to and keep the app up to date. Even staff that aren't her immediate carers know her by sight and say hello to her. We feel very fortunate to be able to send our daughter to such a lovely place. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Review from Dan S (Father of Child) published on 17 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. The team are always happy to see her and make her feel very welcome. Ever since day one she's gone to nursery with a big smile on her face.
The team always give us a run down on how her day has been when we collect her.
The app is very useful, allowing us to keep up with what she's eaten/done during the day.

Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending nursery and would have no problem recommending HDC to anyone.

The staff have been so supportive of my shy daughter. They have worked hard with her and the results are now showing for themselves. The flexibility of the nursery hours is so convenient for me and my husband who both work shifts. I would recommend anyone to use this facility, thank you for everything!

Review from Loren S (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my boys have attended hdc Kingsteignton and I have always been very impressed with the communication between staff and ourselves as parents. When my eldest was there he had issues with his knee and walking and after he had his operation they were fantastic and kept us informed if he was struggling. My youngest had to have eye drops after an eye operation and they did everything perfectly, the procedure, paperwork and ensuring the eye drops were back in the bag ready for collection. Due to Covid-19 I have not been in the nursery since my little ones settling in sessions, as drop off and pick up are outside. I would recommend this nursery. My boys faces when they are leaving would confirm this.

Review from Carli P (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has been going to the nursery since the first week it opened and I have seen it from being very quiet to the busy thriving setting it is now. My little one is now in the preschool room and loves it. He skips in happily every day and the staff who look after him are amazing. There is a real ethos of child led learning, where the preschoolers are able to choose the activities to suit their interests. I am happy that he enjoys it there and cannot fault the team at all.

The preschool staff are absolutely wonderful, my child adores them. My child really seems to enjoy going here and skips in every morning. The preschool room isn't huge but it doesn't matter as they spend so much time outside, its like the outside and inside are one big space.
