Review from Karina M (Mother of Child) published on 11 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has just started this nursery this September and I am very pleased with the up-to-date detailed feedback given at handover and the parent app! You can also tell every staff member there is loving and nurturing. Very trustworthy nursery and also help support your child's development with a variety of activities, even safe walks through the city and surrounding parks which is amazing in my opinion! If you are stuck on choice honestly hands down recommend this nursery.

Review from Emily D (Mother of Child) published on 5 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am so lucky to have found this nursery. My two daughters have been attending for over a year and absolutely love going. As a parent, you want your children to be safe, engaged, appreciated and understood, and I have absolute faith that every single member of staff achieves all of the above. The main thing I love is the team feeling you get there. There is a really positive culture there amongst the staff, and they seem to have all developed strong and meaningful relationships with all the children despite being based in particular rooms.

Reply from Thomas Mathie, Director at Walmgate Day Nursery

Thank you so much for this wonderful review; we aim to have an environment where children are nurtured and enjoy the space to grow in, so glad your children have found that.

Review from Nicola G (Mother of Child) published on 17 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 4-year-old has been attending here for 18 months now, she absolutely loves it and has made some wonderful connections with other children and adores the staff (in particular she talks about the staff a lot).
When I collect her we get a handover of what she's done and what she's eaten. Food has always been a struggle but since coming to nursery she's more inclined to try new foods.
The nursery really helped us with potty training too as our girl was fearful of using the toilet.
She's now getting ready to move on to primary school but our youngest will be starting at Walmgate in September.
They really encourage the children and do activities with them and go on a little day trips out into York to see the trains and museum gardens.

Thank you to all of the staff.

Overall Experience

Absolutely amazing nursery with great staff, my little boy absolutely loves it. It has brought him on so much they love all his key workers and they always come to me if they have any concerns, they always try him with new stuff and always end up having new food, which is very good.

Reply from Thomas Mathie, Director at Walmgate Day Nursery

Thanks for this wonderful review; rest assured that we plan to maintain the standards and improve them where we can. Thanks again.

Review from C W (Father of Child) published on 9 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery. Our little boy has come along so much since starting there over a year ago and is ready to move up to the next age group. The staff are all really helpful and all know our son by name, and he nearly knows all of theirs now. Never had any problems whatsoever with anything such as funding queries, through to behaviours. Very knowledgeable on all fronts and would highly recommend the nursery to anyone. It is comfortably his favourite time of the week!

Review from Fatimah J (Mother of Child) published on 9 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been a customer since 2018, my kids love their times in Walmgate Day Nursery! The staff are caring, kind and fantastic. All concerns addressed as appropriate. The nursery provided a lot of interesting and stimulating activities for the kids. Walking into town, picnicking in the museum garden and visiting the library has always been the highlight of their day. Thank you Walmgate Day Nursery for playing such a special role in the children's lives, we will be incredibly sad as my youngest leaves next September!

Reply from Thomas Mathie, Director at Walmgate Day Nursery

Thanks for your review, this is very encouraging for all the staff at the nursery. We aim to keep up this high standard.

Review from S D (Mother of Child) published on 9 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter loves going to nursery and the staff are lovely and caring. When I pick her up at the end of the day, they give me a detailed report of how the day went (e.g. activities, food intake, engagement in activities communication/language) and may also give suggestions on things to work on at home. For example, my child is 2 and I never heard her saying 'please' but a member of staff told me she was saying it in the nursery. The member of staff told me how to prompt my daughter to say 'please' as she had a particular way of encouraging her to say it and we've been practising at home. I really appreciate their hard work in caring for and teaching our little ones.

Reply from Thomas Mathie, Director at Walmgate Day Nursery
