Overall Experience

Great nursery that really care about the children and put so much effort in. Really grateful it's our local nursery. Home cooked food, constant change of resources, wonderful learning through play and one-to-one time with key person. Bringing out the best in my children.

Overall Experience

School House Daycare is a lovely setting. The staff are kind and engaging with the children and work hard to ensure the children are safe, cared for and having fun. They spend a lot of time outside with regular walks to the park and round the village to observe day to day life. I feel like my child is in safe hands here.

Review from E M (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The most homely, personable nursery setting, that feels like a little second family for the children. There is always so much going on, and so many fun activities for the children. We particularly like how many of the activities incorporate village life, like going to the post office, visiting the fire station or the local parks. The staff are amazing - thank you for everything you do! We are so grateful to have this on our doorstep.

Overall Experience
My little girl has been attending School House Day Care since March 2023 so I could return to work after maternity leave.
The fabulous team have made her welcome and ensured I'm kept up to date throughout the day via their app.
My little one thoroughly enjoys her days at nursery, she is always happy and smiling when we have morning drop off, she has developed so much.

Thank you to all the SHDC Team.

Review from Alan B (Father of Child) published on 22 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at School House Day Care since it opened. We have been delighted with her progress. The setting is excellent and very welcoming and homely. The staff are professional, courteous and genuinely friendly and helpful. It was no surprise to me when I learned of their recent Ofsted visit and subsequent report of 'good' in all areas. I would recommend this setting to anyone looking for a really focused nursery that makes learning fun and provides constant improvement for the children, they also put a big emphasis on behaviour and manners. Very well run, well done SHDC.

Review from Emma W (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After moving to the village, I decided to move my daughter to School House Day Care and I am so thankful that I did. Such a cosy setting with a real homely feel to it, the staff are outstanding and always go that extra mile to take care of the children and ensure that their needs are met. For myself, as an anxious parent, the support that I got from the nursery manager has been second to none. The activities that the children take part in each week are wonderful, with lots of variety and plenty of laughter. The food and snacks are also fabulous, to ensure a healthy diet is met. My daughter is school-age now but we still use the before and after school, along with the holiday club. This has been an integral part of juggling work and family knowing that my little person is safe and well cared for by a truly amazing team! I can not recommend School House Day Care enough.

Overall Experience

I am delighted to give my twins' nursery a glowing five-star review! The flexibility of the hours is remarkable, always accommodating our needs. My girls are such happy toddlers when they are there, and the nursery seamlessly follows our sleep routine. The incredible and loving staff make it a place I wouldn't think about leaving. Highly recommend!

Review from Katie M (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started here when I moved to the village at age three, along with her brother, who was 18 months old. Both of them settled in really quickly. She has since moved up to school but continues to come here after school. Both of my kids love coming here! Which is such a reassurance as a parent knowing they are happy at nursery. The staff are all so kind and helpful.
