Review from M B (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter enjoys every single session she has at nursery. My daughter has high medical needs and the staff were more than happy to train and accommodate to her needs. I've seen such a difference in my daughter's personality since joining the nursery. She is excited every single day and when I pick her up she asks if she can stay longer.

Reply from SARAH BECK, NURSERY MANAGER at The Grove Nursery

Thank you for leaving this positive review for us. As you know it was nervous for us in the beginning wanting to ensure we had everything in place and the training helped us in this. We have grown in confidence with meeting her needs that its just became part of every day nursery. She is a joy to...

Overall Experience
I cannot praise Sarah and her team enough. They have been fantastic from the very start.
They have made my child feel very welcome from the start and my child enjoys interacting with the staff and children.
My child loves attending and has made lots of friends.

My child has a lot of fun but also learns crucial skills.

Review from Rez U (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Amazing nursery! The staff are truly incredible and make such a positive difference every day. My son goes into nursery with a big smile on his face and comes out with an even bigger one. Over the last few months, I've seen such wonderful growth in him - not only in his speech and learning, but also in his confidence. Knowing he is so happy, supported, and cared for gives me complete peace of mind. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

Thank you Sarah, Keira, Janine and sorry if I have missed anyone out!- you are all fantastic

Reply from SARAH BECK, NURSERY MANAGER at The Grove Nursery

Review from S P (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The Grove nursery has exceeded our expectations and our son (just turned 3) is very happy there. The activities seem well structured and he is learning a lot. We receive clear updates each day through the app and detailed feedback several times a term on his progress. The teachers/staff are caring and organised. They plan learning topics clearly and follow the EYGS curriculum. There are also ad hoc extra activities such as police officers visiting or a princess coming to sing songs and Santa! Drop off and pick up is very quick and on time which we appreciate. The nursery benefits from the primary school activities, pool and hot lunches.

"We've had a fantastic experience with the nursery class. The teachers' kindness, patience, and genuine care have made our son feel happy, safe, and eager to attend every day. We've witnessed significant progress in his confidence, social skills, and curiosity. The engaging and age-appropriate activities showcase the thought and love invested in each child's development. We're deeply grateful to the entire team for fostering such a nurturing and positive environment."

Review from Victoria B (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The Grove Nursery is a lovely nursery with great friendly helpful staff, my daughter absolutely idolised each and every one of them she was sad to leave to head off to reception. They have a large range of learning techniques and do a lot of learning through play which I love as I believe it’s the best way for them to learn and my daughter went from strength to strength whilst she was there.

Reply from SARAH BECK, NURSERY MANAGER at The Grove Nursery

Thank you for such a lovely review of our setting. I will ensure that staff get to see your comments! You are so right that children learn through play so i am happy that you have been able to see that as a setting we are teaching children and preparing them for their lifelong learning.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery. Cannot fault. Parent partnership is amazing. Staff very approachable and my son adores them. Always doing messy play, crafts, outside and planned activities. Love how we are informed via the app if my son does not wish to tell me about his day. Feel safe and secure sending my son there. I couldn’t fault them or think of anything that needs improving. Will forever recommend the setting to others

Great and supportive team helping kids develop.
My son loves going to the nursery and is learning so much ever since.

Even if it is a small nursery they get involved in many activities in part thanks to working closely with The Grove Primary School.

Review from Fiona H (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Fantastic nursery!
Two of my children have attended - one non verbal when he started, with lots of one-to-one - by the time he started primary school he was fully verbal.
Staff are supportive with toilet training and encouraging healthy eating habits.
Staff communicate well with parents with updates regarding their child.

Child-led play which is brilliant, both of my children loved their nursery years.

My son is super happy and excited about going to school every day. To us, this is the most important thing we can say about any childcare/school especially for a 3-year-old.

The communication between parents and staff is also great either personally or through the app.

My daughter moved to the Grove Nursery from a different nursery due to extra support required. The staff are amazing and are more than willing to work with me to give my daughter the support she requires. My daughter goes into nursery happy and leaves happy! She loves it and so do I.

My son has been at the Grove Nursery for 8 months and honestly loved every minute of it! The staff are fabulous, really approachable and passionate. There is great communication from the nursery which is amazing for keeping parents in the loop. The nursery has a wonderful community presence and are active members of the local area!

My son has had a great experience here and learnt so much both educationally and emotionally.

Review from K B (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter moved here from another nursery nearby and the difference is unreal. From looking round I knew I wanted to sign up. The process was easy and my child started as soon as there was a space so I am lucky. The staff are brilliant, they do loads with the kids on and off site and the app used is informative but useful. I'm so glad I made the move to the Grove and highly reccomend it.

My daughter has been attending The Grove Nursery since October 2021 and her experience has been amazing. She gained so much confidence in just her first few weeks of starting and she has learned so much! The staff members are excellent and always go above and beyond for the children. I am happy to say my daughter attends this nursery and I would recommend it to anyone!
