Micklefield Belton House Nursery

We moved to Belton House from another nursery six months ago. Our experience has far surpassed our expectations. We knew that Belton House had great facilities and a well-designed curriculum but it is so much more than that. The culture and ethos of the nursery is nurturing and supportive - from teaching staff and others in the class. The teachers and nursery practitioners are clearly passionate, experienced, and great at what they do. We love that our daughter is stretched and encouraged, that she has varied and interesting days with the right balance of free play and structured lessons. Our daughter is so happy at Belton House and so are we.

Belton House is a safe, nurturing and educational nursery environment. The setting is beautiful and well-resourced. The staff are exemplary (polite, enthusiastic and attuned to the children’s needs). My daughter is forming meaningful friendships and growing in confidence every week. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Such a great nursery. The teaching staff are amazing and always teaching the littles ones new things in a fun and practical manner. They are very accommodating and my little one just loves it. They are very proactive with the children, they get taken out for picnics during the summer. They learn new languages and also are involved in the arts such as music. I can not complement the staff and the way they teach the littles ones enough!

Belton House Nursery is a fantastic nursery run by nurturing, highly qualified and caring staff who go that extra mile to make sure your child is receiving the input that they need, whether it’s on the settling or confidence side of things or extending their interest in their learning, it’s all geared to go at your child’s pace and interests which we feel is so important. The outside space and outdoor learning opportunities are wonderful and are incorporated daily into their routine and the fact that they have specialist teachers from the main school for music, French and P.E is incredible. The food is nutritious and delicious too, very important for keeping my son happy and healthy! It has been so rewarding to watch his personality and learning blossom since being at Belton House Nursery and the excitement on nursery days is through the roof!

An excellent nursery provision. A modern setting. Delightful staff.

My daughter moved to Belton House Nursery last year from another nursery. It has been amazing fun filled experience for her. She was very clingy in previous nursery, however it has been a great change for her in this nursery. Belton House Nursery is early education focused unlike other nurseries which makes it unique. My daughter attends nursery all week which means she takes benefit of all the lessons provided by the school teachers, such as music, French and P.E at this early age. I highly recommend this place.

Excellent nursery. My son has come on leaps and bounds since attending. I can't believe how well his written skills and number skills have developed. They settled him well, after some nerves and he has been going happy ever since. They have dealt with Covid-19 well and I have been impressed that they only shut for a period in the first lockdown. This showed great dedication and effort to keep open and safe when others facilities were shut. I really like the teachers and the range of teaching they get is superb. Such as French, phonics, P.E and cooking. I would definitely recommend and have signed my second son up already.

Belton House Nursery is a wonderful setting! We loved that the class size was small and so the children received very attentive care, which became noticeable with how our daughter progressed in terms of reading and numbers. She really enjoyed the weekly baking class and getting to know new friends, who she continues to see now in reception. The staff were approachable and our daughter formed a strong bond with them. We feel that Belton House Nursery has the perfect mix of interactive fun, alongside structured rules and learning to prepare them for starting school. Whilst the nursery is part of a school, we liked that the nursery was in its own building with a separate entrance to classrooms and outdoor facilities, whilst also making our daughter familiar with the big school. It has made the transition from nursery to reception seamless. We will definitely be sending our second child there!

With specialist subjects such as Music, French and PE being offered and taught to pupils by the Micklefield school teachers we believe that Belton House is providing excellent all-round early years educational experience for our daughter that she thoroughly enjoys.
