Ashbridge on Ribble Day Nursery

Our little girl has been at Ashbridge on Ribble since she was little and she's now leaving pre-school. She has had such a won time here and even wishes she could stay here forever! She's grown so much in confidence, become really independent, and her language has improved amazingly. For sure Ashbridge is one of the best nurseries around - we couldn't be happier

Thank you to all the staff.

Ashbridge on the Ribble is absolutely fantastic! The staff are so friendly and really care about the children. Our 2 year old loves going to nursery and the constant updated photos that staff share is a nice update throughout the day. Highly recommend to anyone - amazing.

My daughter is currently transitioning into the preschool from nursery at Ashbridge, I cannot speak highly enough of the support and involvement we as parents have received and the support my child has received in what could prove to be a difficult time with the change. My daughter absolutely loves coming into nursery, we have seen her flourish and thrive over the last 12 months. She is treated like an individual and her personality and quirks are encouraged. I love the daily updates we receive and the relationship she had made with her key worker is second to none. I feel reassured each time my daughter steps through the doors. She also loves the meals and often asks for seconds!

Amazing level of teaching & learning, friendly and good standard of activities to grow the child. Always keeping us up to date & built a safe & friendly environment to make the child feel confident & safe.

Very happy and have no concerns at all.

We brought our son here from not long after he'd turned 3, having been at another local nursery prior.

Our experience of Ashbridge has been superb and such a drastic improvement from the prior nursery, it had left us rather regretful for not making the switch sooner.

The facilities on offer are outstanding, whilst the staff have always made our son feel extremely welcome, safe, cared for and nurtured.

The River School setting is such a nice environment for the pre-schoolers to learn and grow whilst exploring the natural world around them, I can't imagine there is any better place around here in all honesty.

I would happily recommend Ashbridge for any parents pondering where to send their kids.

Ashbridge is a first rate nursery with fantastic facilities, particularly for the pre-school children who have the adventure playground, boat, and grass/ sand/ decking/ river school areas to enjoy.

The staff have gone above and beyond to support my son with areas he found challenging (being autistic, his emotional/social/speech and language development is delayed). The SENCO and staff on the ground floor have been incredibly accommodating and encouraging in every nursery/ preschool class - they always met him where he was. Examples: (i) staff ordered new digger toys specifically for my son in mind to help him settle in to a new nursery room, (ii) preschool staff compiled a "what to expect at preschool" booklet to prepare him in advance for being a new environment/ with new staff, (iii) a staff member would stand outside with him on the preschool decking in freezing conditions when I'd drop him off and he didn't want to go into the classroom. They were so caring and patient with him!

We have loved our experience at Ashbridge Nursery and the care given to our child. We have no second thoughts or concerns, our little boy is treated as an individual and recognised for his character and personality. I know my little boy is safe and happy when I leave him. The apprentices are very reliable, hard working and aspiring which is a breath of fresh air. Overall I know everyone in the Ashbridge team gives 100% every day.

Since our daughter started in August 2024, we have watched her speech, walking and social skills develop with the support of the key workers and staff. We love that she is mostly outdoors and that we see what she is up to throughout the day on the app. We've been really impressed with the photo updates we receive in a day and the love and care she is given from the staff. The food is great, especially for her dietary requirements. All staff from reception to her designated room are friendly and know her name, making us feel safe when we drop her off and collect her. We are all very happy with Ashbridge -on-ribble! Thank you!

My son loves his nursery days and always comes home so very happy. The staff are lovely and seeing my little one open his arms to the ladies in his room his wonderful. We love the photo updates! Very happy to have chosen this nursery and he has developed so so much.

My little boy is absolutely excelling in his new room and looks forward going to nursery now! We are always throughly informed about his daily activities, meal in a professional manner. The workers have very quickly identified what my son likes and doesn't like and will cater to his needs accordingly. I couldn't have been happier in choosing a nursery such as Ashbridge on Ribble for being excellent in every way!

A very warm welcome from the reception staff in the mornings. All staff are extremely helpful and lovely and the nursery is such a nice environment and kept up to standards. The facilities for the care are amazing. All the staff make my son feel welcome, make sure he is ok, and send regular updates. I couldn't recommend it enough.

My daughter started going there in June. It has been a wonderful experience for her as well as for us as well. She has been learning a lot of new things these days. I get daily updates on the app that's a huge plus.

Our second child is already enrolled to start early next year. Highly recommend this nursery!

My daughter started at Ashbridge on Ribble this month and we couldn't be happier at how well she is settling in. The transition has been faultless! Great team of ladies! Super happy parents and baby girl!

My daughter has been at Ashbridge on Ribble for a few months now. Our experience so far has been positive, she has a very supportive key worker who's invested in her nursery journey which gives me great comfort as a first-time parent.

Anyone considering Ashbridge I would definitely recommend it to any parent.

Our daughter has been attending Ashbridge Nursery for a number of months now and is set to start preschool in September. I can't fault the nursery or the staff, my daughter loves coming here and is very well looked after when she goes to the nursery. I feel happy and reassured to leave her at nursery whilst myself and my partner go to work. She has no fears or reservations about being left at nursery either, and we are always met with a happy, healthy girl when we come to collect her. The nursery staff teaches all the children how to be kind and inclusive to one another, and iron out any unfavourable behaviour in a kind, gentle and educational way. Our daughter cannot wait to start preschool here and we are excited for her. Thank you to Ashbridge on Ribble and all the staff for making some of the hardest times of any parent's life that much easier- seeing your child grow, and learning how to part with them in order to foster their independence and learning.

I have no hesitation in recommending them and you will have peace of mind that they are in excellent hands.
