Review from A U (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has attended this nursery for 8 months and I cannot fault the staff at Sallowbush. They truly go above and beyond to make sure both my son and I are comfortable. They keep me updated majority of days with how my child's day went and what activities they got up to and often upload onto the app to keep me updated with photos and videos. They are always there for any questions, worries or concerns with a smile on their face and they truly care about the children they look after. It's always appreciated and they do a great job with my child!

Review from Patricia B (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My toddler has had a positive experience at this nursery. The staff are caring, attentive, and create a warm, safe environment where children can learn and play. I've noticed a real boost in my child's confidence and social skills since starting here.
Communication is generally good, with regular updates, though sometimes I'd appreciate a bit more detail. The nursery is clean, well-organized, and offers a nice variety of activities.

Overall, I'd recommend it to parents looking for a supportive and friendly setting for their child.

Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with this preschool. It is always clean, well looked after, and creates such a welcoming environment for the children. The staff are incredibly caring, friendly, and always seem happy, which really shows in the way they look after the kids.

My son absolutely loves going and is always excited for his day there, which says everything. It's so reassuring as a parent to know he is safe, happy, and well cared for. I would highly recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a nurturing and positive place for their child.

Lovely nursery, my daughter loves going here. She's making friends, learning new things and also talks about the teachers that work there. She's so excited to go to nursery and see her key worker and friends. She always comes out happy. :)

Overall Experience

I have only good things to say about my time at the kindergarten. I really appreciate the patience shown towards my child, and the quick and efficient way the kindergarten staff resolves any issues. My child's adaptation went quickly. My child comes home in a good mood. I feel that my child is safe and under the supervision of professionals.

Review from Alina H (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am extremely pleased with the care and support this nursery provides. From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing and development of the children.
The environment is safe, clean, and thoughtfully organised, offering a wide range of activities that support both learning and play. It's clear that the team puts a lot of effort into creating a nurturing space where children feel comfortable, confident, and happy.
Communication with parents is excellent. I always feel informed about my child's day, progress, and any concerns, which brings great peace of mind. The staff are approachable, attentive, and always willing to listen.
What stands out the most is the genuine care and dedication shown by everyone working there. It's not just about supervision-it's about building relationships, encouraging growth, and supporting each child as an individual.

I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent

The nursery is brilliant, close to home, staff are friendly, kind and supportive. My child loves going here and has made new friends. The nursery is very accommodating when I have appointments or childcare issues I can always ask to change days and times and its never too much trouble.

Review from A L (Father of Child) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am writing this review to express my deep frustration regarding a recent experience. Today, after arriving at the nursery with my son, I was told at the door that the facility is closed for the day due to a lack of staff.
While I understand that staffing issues can happen, being informed only upon arrival is completely unacceptable. As a parent, I have a strictly scheduled day, and this sudden closure without any prior notice via email or phone has caused significant disruption to my work and personal commitments.

Better communication protocols need to be in place to ensure parents are notified well in advance if the nursery cannot provide the services promised. This lack of professionalism is very disappointing.

My boy is happy at the nursery and has learned and progressed a lot.
I feel confident in leaving my child at the nursery knowing he will be looked after for the day. The staff are so good with him and he even talks about the staff when he gets home.

I will recommend this nursery!

My daughter loves attending this nursery, they are always doing new activities and doing songs with the children, and the staff are so lovely too. The outdoor space is really big and full of fun areas for the children to explore.

Highly recommend them.

Review from J S (Mother of Child) published on 20 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The ladies at the nursery are absolutely exceptional. I'm always promptly updated with staff changeovers or any accident forms. I feel like my child is 100% in their best interest and he is now thriving thanks to the staff here. If anything is marked down, it isn't aimed at the ladies who deal with the children daily.

Keep it up.
