Over all time Centre Place Nursery has 27 reviews.
Both of my children currently attend this nursery and have since they were both under 1 year old. The staff are absolutely incredible and my children love coming here. The communication between staff and parents is fantastic, be it via phone, face to face or on the app. There is such a family feel and they treat each and every child as if they were their own. The facilities in the nursery are amazing. The garden is huge and has lots of equipment and activities set up for them to play with and inside there are reading nooks, sensory areas and lots of imaginative play. I honestly cannot fault this nursery and would recommend it to anyone who wants their children to go somewhere safe, fun and inclusive.
Enjoy your summer and look forward to hearing all about the adventures you have.
Great employees, very loving, good organizer. I 100% recommend the Centre Place Nursery to any mother who is unsure about their choice of nursery. My son loved visiting the nursery every day. Center Place also has its own app, in which you are always up to date.
Thank you so much for your review. We have loved having your son at nursery and the smiles he brought to us. We will miss you all and wish all the best for big school. Enjoy your summer.
My daughter loves her nursery and teachers. She is singing songs, counting and knows the letters. She always comes back happy from nursery and always goes to nursery with pleasure and a big smile. Staff are very friendly and helpful, always trying to find a solution if you are in trouble with money or any other life problems. We will miss our nursery when she goes to school.
Thank you so much for your review it is uplifiting to know us as a team make a difference. We wish you all the best for the future and the new adventures that wait at big school. Have a lovely summer.
My child has had a wonderful time at this nursery if only for a short time, I have had no issues at all, all of the staff are great, easy to talk to and have always kept me up to date with progress, my child has learnt alot since going here, it's a shame she has to go to school. The nursery itself is great, a nice place to be. My child settled in straight away, it's a great nursery for all children who attend.
Thank you for the review. We appreciate your feedback and we feel so happy to have been part of your child's journey with us. We wish our friends all the best for their new adventure at school.
Amazing nursery and amazing staff. Nothing has been too much trouble and my child has come a long way with you. We are sad to be leaving the best nursery in this area. Grateful for all your hard work. Thank you for being amazing people.
Thank you so much for the positive comments. Its been an absolute pleasure being part of your child's journey with us. We wish all of our little friends all the best for school.
I have used this nursery for two of my children now and I cannot fault the staff one bit, we are always kept up to date with what they are doing and how our child is getting on. The new app is brilliant for two-way communications, especially during the recent Covid times. I highly recommended this nursery setting.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, I will pass these on to the team.
My two children couldn't wait to get back to nursery after the holidays. They have both formed good relationships with staff members and always come home and talk to me all about their day. I have been very happy with the way the nursery dealt with Covid-19 and helping to ensure my children are safe. Would definitely recommend. I feel comfortable leaving my children knowing they are happy and are going to have a lot of fun!
