Review from Elizabeth F (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Couldn’t ask for a better nursery for my daughter. The girls are lovely and so supportive, always coming up with great activities for the children and we are kept up to date daily. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and has made some great friends and her learning has come on brilliantly since starting. So happy with the nursery and will also be sending my son when it’s time.

Review from D H (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When my son first started attending St Mary’s Nursery it was a massive step for us as parents, as well for himself as he was a Covid baby and had never been around other children or so many different adults without having mum or dad with him. He settled in quickly and the staff gave us regular updates of messages and pictures to reassure us each day.
This nursery is such a lovely place with such a kind approach to children. I love the supportive ethos and the focus on play and confidence and social development throughout.
The staff have been so supportive in regards to our son having a speech delay, but with the help and guidance from them we now have him on the correct pathway.

Each child is assigned a key worker, however, they all do a fantastic job regardless.

Overall Experience

My child really enjoys coming to the nursery and loves the staff so much. Since starting nursery my child has developed some lovely friendships and her confidence has come on in leaps and bounds. The children seem to get along well and are a close-knit group. The activities are always fun and exciting and lots of different events and holidays are celebrated. Any minor issues that have arisen have been dealt with quickly and professionally.

Overall Experience

This is an amazing nursery with lovely staff. The girls are brilliant with the children, they have helped my daughter come on so well since she started at St Mary’s. She has become much more confident and she’s always excited to go to nursery each day. There are always things for the children to look forward to as they have different events on throughout each month which my daughter loves. I would highly recommend St Mary’s for anybody looking for the perfect nursery for their child.

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

Both of my children have been attending St Mary's for the last 12 months and I cannot praise the staff here enough. All the staff have brilliant relationships with all of the parents and children. All children have their own key person but all members of staff take the time to form bonds and get to know every child extremely well. The end-of-session reports are fantastic, it's great to hear about the things they have enjoyed and done well. My children have attended other settings previously but they will be staying at St Mary's as they enjoy it there more than anywhere else and get so excited to attend their sessions. They particularly look forward to playing in the outside area which is set up brilliantly with lots of different play options. The big slide is a firm favourite. My children have come on in leaps and bounds since starting there. I would absolutely recommend St Mary's to anyone looking for a setting for their children.

Overall Experience

Cannot fault the staff here, my son attends wrap-around care for when I'm working etc. He adores all staff members and cannot help out enough when he attends. He even had a chat with one about a scouts group she belongs to and now attends this weekly and loves it.

Amazing nursery with incredible staff. They are all very supportive, understanding ladies and have been wonderful with my son and all the other children at the setting. I’m very pleased my son had the opportunity too be part of this great group and will be said too see him leave this nursery next year. Thank you girls.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery with brilliant staff who are so good with the kids and will go above and beyond for them. I definitely recommend this nursery, the layout is great and my child is so happy to just walk in when at first he was not so keen on it.
