Our daughter has been at SHDC since she was 9 months old and the team have been amazing. The new setting for under 2's is fantastic with so much space and light and she absolutely loves going. The food is incredibly good and the staff are attentive and engaging. It has been amazing to see our little girl grow in confidence over her time so far and we look forward to seeing it continue! Thanks team
It's wonderful to see her growing in confidence, and we feel privileged to be part of her journey. Your kind words about our team, environment, and food mean a great deal to us.
My youngest is in the Little Paddocks and has been in nursery for close to six months. Since starting her speech is coming along, her attachment issues and reluctance to leave my side are slowly improving and she's coming on leaps and bounds in her beautiful little personality!
The care that both my kids receive is exemplary and I would recommend SHDC to any prospective parents :)
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It means a lot to our whole team to hear such positive feedback.

Amazing staff who truly car able giving children a great home from home experience and couldn't ask for anything more from them. My son has been going since he was 3 years old and I can't recommend the nursery enough
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that your son has enjoyed his time with us over the years. Creating a home from home for the children is so important to us, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.
My two boys had a fabulous time in the holiday club. Staff are so friendly and great with my boys. Smiles all round. What a superb place. I will be using again next half term. Love that the food is homemade on site too with excellent variety and healthy snacks.

She comes home with new skills and confidence every day.
She loves the daily time outside, also mixing with older and younger children during the school holidays
New foods tried, she is learning from peers and has opportunities to do activities that I wouldn't think to do at home

My little girl loves going to nursery and has built a lovely relationship with the staff.
The nursery itself is very homely and clean and has a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The children are well entertained and do regular activities such as football and music bugs, as well as organised trips.

Brilliant after school and holiday care facility when my two boys were aged 4 until 7 years. School House has provided us with a vital service in a rural area. The only service of it's kind. With friendly staff, lots of activities for the children and a positive experience for all over a 3 year period
Thank you for such kind feedback. We're delighted that your boys enjoyed their time with us and that we could support your family over those years. It's wonderful to hear they had such a positive experience!
My children have attended School House Day Care for a number of years. Right from the moment they walked in they have loved it there. It's a home from home set up, all staff are fantastic, approachable and supportive. The warm welcome every morning and kind and encouraging updates at the end of each day, has always reassured me that I made the right decision. The healthy meals, after school and holiday club services they provide are fantastic. They are constantly looking to make improvements to the surrounding and experience for the children. The children have fun, learning in a positive, encouraging environment. I can't rate it highly enough!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so grateful for your kind words and for trusting us with your children over the years. It means a lot to know they've felt happy and at home here. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to many more fun and learning-filled days together!
They also do school pick up / drop off / after school & holiday clubs for those will be going to school next door
The staff at day care are warm and approachable, but also knowledgeable when it comes to child development. Communication is consistently good and we are kept regularly updated on our son's progress, daily activities etc.
The setting itself has such a lovely, homely feel to it and our son loves going in each day and comes out very happy. Thank you to all staff at school house :)
Staff friendly & caring, also flexible with requests when asked.
Great nursery to send your child too.
An excellent setting with excellent staff! They're always extremely accommodating and their service is also excellent. The owner, is very hands on and easily available to talk with. As a Mum juggling everything, this place is perfect!
Absolutely fantastic Nursery! My daughter hadn't had much experience with being with anyone else other than me before she went here, she settled straight away and loves going to nursery! She loves her home cooked meals and all the different activities and outings they take part in. Highly recommend!
My little boy is so happy here, the staff are attentive and encouraging and make him feel so welcome everyday. They offer a range of activities to keep the little ones entertained and keep you updated with any changes as necessary.
My son is in butterfly room at SHDC, and we highly recommend. They are fantastic with him. The girls always report how he's getting on and he's advancing so much since being here. We couldn't be happier with the care they give!
My daughter has attended school house day care since September 2022 and we couldn't be happier. Staff are experienced, warm, kind and fantastic with her. I trust them entirely and anyone who has children knows how vital that is when leaving your children at daycare. My son will also attend when he is old enough. The setting is small enough that it feels personal and transitioning between ages isnt a big change as the children all integrate. I would recommend to anyone and are so grateful for all they have done for us as a family.
