Review from Emma L (Mother of Child) published on 24 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Applemore. Our eldest started here when they were two and has just moved on to school, and our youngest (now two) has recently joined. The staff are absolutely fantastic - every single person who works there is warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's happiness and development.

We were initially unsure about the mixed-age setting (2-5 years), but it's actually been one of the best things about the nursery. The younger children learn so much from watching and joining in with the older ones, while the older children gain confidence and learn to be gentle and helpful. It creates such a lovely, family-like atmosphere.

A special mention must go to Mandy, our child's key worker, who is exceptional. She goes above and beyond to understand each child's needs and personality, and she's made both our children feel safe, loved, and encouraged every day.

Applemore is a lovely start for young children and I highly recommend it.

Overall Experience
I would just like to say that I am extremely grateful to the team, Mandy, Chelsea, Sylvia, Leah & Amelia and the rest of the team!
These are the ladies that I have met and considering our boy started a couple of days earlier, we were so grateful at short notice that they could fit our boy in for two extra days!
He has grown already and I can see he enjoys all the activities, the social time and more!

So THANK YOU, for your support, patience and understanding of recent, you all do such a fantastic job!

Overall Experience
I'm so glad I chose this setting for my child. Since she started last October, she has really come on with her speech and communication skills and loves attending. There is a great outdoor space with lots of different toys and lots of great areas indoors aswell.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming and have great relationships with the children.

Overall Experience

My son has been with Applemore Early Years Centre since just before he turned 2 and is now going into his last year with them. When he started off he could barely speak a few words and was very shy and didn't interact much with others, and now he can speak full sentences and constantly comes home telling me names of friends he's played with, he absolutely thrives there and loves all of the staff! The way the staff love all of the children and make exceptional effort to learn each child individually (speaking from my experience) is such a reassurance that I have put my son in the right nursery! I cannot recommend them enough, will be putting any future children back in with them!!
