Ivy House Nursery Station Approach

Both of our boys attend Ivy house, our eldest has been there for over 3.5 years and is about to head off to school in a few weeks. Ivy House feels like a second home for them both, the staff are kind, caring and have the children's best interests at heart. They enjoy being there, they bound in without a look back. Our children adore the staff especially their key people and recently for our eldest graduation they went above and beyond to make it such a special moment for such a big next step. They have both come on leaps and bounds since being here, with outings, imaginary play, structured learning and lots of fun things like Heartbeeps and Sports for Kids. We as a family are so thankful that he has had such a positive time here and thank them for everything they have done to get him prepped for school.

Thank you so much for looking after our girls.

Both my children have been to Ivy House in Weybridge and it has been such a wonderful experience for them and for us as parents. The staff are so kind, and give us full confidence that our kids are in safe hands. Through all the various developmental stages of parenting, Ivy House provide a nurturing and educational environment that I see come home on a daily basis. My son taught me various sign language signs at the age of 3, and knew all of his letters to be able to confidently write his name by the time he went to school. My daughter who is still in her first year at Ivy House is already learning key skills as a toddler, and goes in every day very happily to lots of cuddles, good food and a day full of various messy play/activities - I mean, who could ask for more? No nursery is cheap, but I know that my money is well spent to give our kids an engaging day full of learning, fun and social interaction. Thank you Ivy House!

What has struck me over the 2 years I have been supported by Ivy House is consistency. From day 1 till today I have experienced the same level of care, kindness and everything is done with a smile. We are very happy having picked Ivy House and the wonderful start it has given our daughter.

I couldn't be happier knowing that my children are soo looked after every day!

Thank you for everything you've done - we will always be grateful for the wonderful start you've given him!

Ivy House is a warm, child-centred nursery that has a family and homey feel. My child has been here since 9 months old and we are so happy with the love and care he gets. The staff are friendly and build great relationships. We love that they celebrate and follow our child's interests. They take the kids on outings most days and the classes they have are brilliant including sports class for older kids and Hartbeeps. They go out to the forest, park, the train station, to the supermarket, to the shops and sometimes to the local care home. This community interaction is so valuable for giving the children real world experiences and building their stamina for walking. They have supported my child with each milestone and the kids even have a graduation ceremony when they leave for school. They also run great World Book Day and charity events. The farm visit, stay and play events and Santa visit are really special. Our son is thriving here and we are so grateful.

My daughter has been at Ivy house for 2.5 years, since she was 6 months old and has evolved and developed incredibly at Ivy House. I've had key contacts since the beginning who know my daughter well and help her thrive in her environment, as well as providing timely updates on her development and behaviour. My daughter loves her key workers at Ivy house and always gets the love and attention she needs. Ivy house provides a safe and secure place and I trust she is in good hands while I'm at work. They do lots of outings and spend time outdoors as well as sports, music and language activities which my daughter loves.

My eldest went to Ivy House and now my youngest is there and we couldn't be happier. It's a home away from home. Everyone who works there makes the effort to get to know your child and you as a parent. They are always thinking of new and exciting things for the children to do, taking them out on outings (which lots of nurseries don't do) and have external companies come in each week like Sports 4 Kids, Hartbeeps and yoga. My son is happy and thriving there and I would always recommend Ivy House!

Ivy House is a lovely place, feels like a home. The staff are brilliant and take such good care of my little one. They have lots of different activities and we get updates through the app on a daily basis. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Our son has been at Ivy House for nearly a year (starting at 11 months) and in that time he has blossomed. The staff take care to set up plenty of stimulating activities for the children and they all seem happy. We chose Ivy House as it felt like a home from home, and it has certainly lived up to expectations. The venue is quite small but I think that’s nice for the littlest ones, and they also take them out a lot. Being by the station is a bonus both practically and also because the children love watching the trains!

I am very happy with my daughter's learning and all the attention and affection that my daughter and I receive from everyone! Thank you.

My child has gone to Ivy House 1 day per week for the last 6 months and so have found them to be really good. The staff are professional and caring and the nursery is well run. They organise activities for the children such as Santa coming to visit and the farm coming to visit which is fab. They regularly update the app throughout the day so I can see what my child is eating, drinking and doing in terms of naps which is really helpful. Overall I highly recommend this nursery.

Ivy House is a lovely, small and homely environment. My daughter is 13 months old and has settled in well and is very happy there. I have really liked that there is a seperate sleeping room for the babies and the staff take care to work with her existing routine. Equally each room is decorated similarly to a home environment and the kids have access to a range of different activities.

We are very pleased with our choice of Ivy House for our little one who is very enthusiastic about going every morning. The staff are all really lovely and they do so many varied activities with the children, including regular outings which were important to us. It feels like our little one has advanced so much since starting there a few months ago. We really appreciate the regular updates we get throughout the day via the app, including photos as well as a friendly handover at the end of the day.

It is the hardest decision to leave your child in the care and trust of complete strangers but the staff here make the transition so much easier than we could have ever expected and I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Our little boy has been attending Ivy House for over a year now, and he absolutely loves it! He wakes up excited to go, he talks about his friends and the staff at home and has thoroughly come leaps and bounds since being there. He has so much fun, does so many activities, and has developmentally progressed so much all thanks to Ivy House. Childcare is expensive but I can say, here is worth every penny. You can be sure we will be sending our youngest here too!

The app is brilliant, getting updates daily whilst I am working is exactly what I need and seeing photos of my son having fun is an added bonus.

A fantastic team of people who have created a great environment for the kids. They put a huge amount of effort into providing a wide variety of activities and learning opportunities for the kids every day.

I would absolutely recommend.
