Collingwood School and Nursery

Really great nursery and one I would highly recommend. Both of my kids were there and they were always happy and well looked after. The staff are very supportive and happy to help. The children thrived and were always occupied with activities. My son loved going to the woodlands on a regular basis. Due to such great preparation from the nursery they transitioned into Reception class without any difficulty.

Nursery staff work incredibly hard, and I hope they know how much their care is appreciated. It's easy as a parent to dwell on a small worry, but the kindness and effort this team gives every day deserve to be celebrated. I'm so grateful for everything they've done for Lily and Rana!

Both our children attend the nursery having moved here from another provider. Since coming it's been wonderful with the children loving attending the nursery. The staff have been so caring, attentive and open to feedback to improve things. They always want to support the children and work collaboratively with us to ensure our children's needs are met. When we've had challenges we've always felt able to communicate to work together to create plans for the kids to help them to thrive. We are very pleased we moved our children here from our old nursery. The value is excellent in comparison to other providers. Highlights include the woodland walks on term times ensuring outdoor learning and time in nature; activities with strong learning focus; weekly updates with plenty of photos and more. My children come home happy and want to go the next day and always say nice things about their carers - I couldn't really ask for more!

Collingwood School and Nursery is unlike any other nursery I have experienced or know of. It is truly such a special nursery where the teachers and nursery staff are passionate, energetic and incredibly caring. My daughter has PE lessons, music lessons, attends a weekly visit to the woods and is given the absolute best experiences. This nursery is beyond outstanding.

He loves going to nursery every morning and talks about seeing his teachers and friends. His vocabulary is improving day by day and he is just so happy.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the care my child is receiving.

Our experience with the nursery has been overwhelmingly positive. The caring staff, engaging activities, and nurturing environment make it an excellent choice for early childhood education. We feel like part of a caring family. The daily updates really make us feel connected and involved.

This nursery is light years better than the previous nursery. Every morning, our son can't wait to go to nursery, with the varied, stimulating activities and large outside green space. There are regular trips and plenty of photos too. Staff are professional, passionate, long-serving and approachable. There is a strong emphasis on learning through play, so maths and phonics are integrated without the children knowing about it. Being attached to a primary school will help transition into reception, with the year six students acting as good role models and improving socialisation. Being close to a train station, with an early breakfast club and a late after-school club, is a big bonus for working parents.

My child absolutely loves attending nursery. The staff always go above and beyond to create engaging activities for the children to participate in. Outdoor play is a huge focus and the children are out whatever the weather. I am so pleased to have found such a fantastic nursery on our doorstep.

We were worried about the settle-in period and it turned out my son settled in very well. Now he’s happy and learned a lot in the nursery.

We are so pleased we chose Collingwood Nursery for our daughter. She is thriving and the effort and enthusiasm shown by all the teachers is wonderful. We have recommended it to several families and have only good things to say about the environment, staff and facilities.

All the staff are very kind, professional, patient and careful. My daughter likes to go to nursery and has lots of fun and learning even though she is only two years old and is the youngest one. I realize her English speaking skills have improved a lot (we, most of the time speak Mandarin at home). She can call out almost all her classmates' names at nursery which makes me surprised. I think I really like this nursery and highly recommend it.

My daughter loves this nursery! I asked her to tell me what she thought of the nursery out of ten. Her response was one hundred and ten! The daily activities are stimulating with a focus on learning through play. In addition, the nursery team have been excellent in helping my daughter settle into a new environment.

My daughter has just started going to Collingwood and I'm truly satisfied with all the facilities. All the staff are professional and I do think that my daughter is learning a lot. I would commend the diverse and creative activities being held at the nursery. Thumbs up.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the care my child received from Collingwood School Nursery.

We moved our 2-year-old daughter to Collingwood and we are so so glad we did. It is such a lovely setting, she has so much fun and is happy to be dropped off and settled in a lot quicker than we anticipated. This will be down to the lovely staff and the consistency of the staff, it is the same small team that works all week. We couldn’t be happier with Collingwood. Thank you.

The Collingwood nursery offers an excellent learning environment for children. They learn through play, exploring nature, borrowing books from the library and many more. I am very happy with my choice and think this is the best setting for my son to prepare for the next step-reception. The staff are caring and very creative with different activities. A large area for children to play outside is a huge bonus as well.

Our son recently moved across to this nursery and we have already seen a huge difference in him. He is speaking so much more and learning a lot more as his learning and play are all constructive. Our son always says that he wants to go to Collingwood School and Nursery even on his days off. The staff are absolutely amazing and they are an asset to the establishment and our son bonded with them from day one. Our son will be staying on for reception from September 2023 and the staff really help prepare the children for reception and this will really help the children that wish to stay on. The staff across the whole school are so friendly and you get a great family feel about this school which is one of the main reasons we decided to move our son across from now. The woodlands day, even for the nursery class, is a great addition to this nursery. I only wish we moved our son across sooner!
