Really pleased with our experience at Arcadia. The staff are lovely, and I love how I can view what he has been up to on the app. My son always has a great time at nursery and has come on so much since starting. I recommend the nursery to everyone. Thanks.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a positive review.
Our child has been at Arcadia @ Easter Bush for 6 months. It was a difficult to get them settled in at first but now really enjoys the experience. Our child enjoys being out in the large garden space which is great when compared to other nurseries.
The staff are polite and open to our feedback on our child's needs. We enjoy receiving the learning journal updates but it's a bit inconsistent.
Some of the staff are fantastic but sometimes feels like the nursery needs more permanent staff which would improve standards further. Also we would have liked to have changed the number of days our child was attending after the initial placement but I understand it's difficult to make staffing arrangements.
We have the additional concern about a dietary allergy with anaphylaxis. I really appreciate the fact that we were able to discuss emergency procedures and dietary requirements as well as make decisions about what he should be eating from the menus with some restrictions.
An excellent nursery where our 15-month-old son has been thriving since he joined the Harmony room. He has been able to bond with the friendly, caring and professional staff which definitely gives you great peace of mind. Activities and resources are excellent and we are very delighted that he enjoys every single activity when we pick him up (smiling and full of sand and paint!)
Our daughter has been attending Arcadia nursery for just over two months. Although it was challenging to initially get a spot and we have been on the waiting list for a long time, the nursery took our situation into consideration and offered us few days per week. Settling in the nursery was a bit more difficult for our child than settling with the childminder. However, the staff was very supportive, comforting, and great in meeting our child's needs, thus goodbye tears quickly turned into goodbye smiles. I appreciate the wide variety of activities such as painting, exploring musical instruments, baking, circle games, yoga, etc. that create a fun learning environment. The space is really nice, especially the big garden outside where kids spend a lot of time. We are really happy with the nursery so far and looking forward to future adventures.
Our child has been at Arcadia @ Easter Bush for nearly 4 years so has transitioned through all three of the rooms. The staff have always been kind and attentive to our child, and supportive to us parents when we've needed it! They were amazing through the lockdowns at what must have been an impossible situation for them as well as us in providing us with resources at home and supporting us back into the nursery when we could. The environment is welcoming, bright and clean using mostly natural materials which gives the space a nice feel and the children are encouraged to play outside as much as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review of our Easter Bush Nursery.
On the whole, the staff in Arcadia were professional, friendly and fantastic with my child. The only criticism I have is that the learning journals were very rarely updated. It would have been nice to see the nursery make better use of this.
Really caring and nurturing staff - the peace room, in particular, has provided phenomenal care and attention to my child's needs and interests. Fabulous management who are very on the ball. Friendly reception who always go above and beyond! Great facilities in a purpose-built nursery designed with littles in mind.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we appreciate your feedback.
The communication and transparency between parent and carer is amazing, appreciate the honesty which grows a trusting relationship between parent and carer.
I love how my daughter gets so much time outside and staff recognise her achievements, I feel there is strong support and I feel confident raising any issues and know they will help on working on them with us.
Thank you for making my daughter's experience at nursery a memorable one and recognising her individuality and interests.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we appreciate your feedback.
The staff are all very approachable and no question is a silly question. They genuinely care about the kids and pretty much all members of staff know them by name, even if they aren't in their own room.
The nursery has the most incredible garden and setting and the kids are encouraged to get out and about exploring as much as possible.
The menus are really varied and nutritious - I'm quite envious!
The indoor and outdoor facilities are fantastic and a very good wide selection of toys and games for the wee ones to play and learn from.
Teachers are always on hand for cuddles if children need it. Love the indoor and outdoor flow, children are always encouraged to spend time outside.
There are lots of out-of-nursery experiences like going for walks in the woodlands, visits to the vet school etc.
Food is great, nutritious and varied. My kids often complain that my food isn’t as good!
