Over all time YMCA Nursery has 4 reviews.
The staff are fantastic, their warmth and genuine interest in the children is clear to see. Claire is a brilliant, communicative manager, responding quickly to any queries and proactively dealing with any issues. The facilities are exceptional. My daughter loves going bouldering at the climbing centre and going for nature walks. The sensory room is wonderful. We have been, and continue to be, so pleased our daughter is at YMCA. It is exceptional value for money.
The app is a great communication tool to get updates during the day but the manager and deputy manager are also happy to discuss things in person.
Our daughter is in the babies' room and we really like getting an overview at the end of the day with photos of the children doing various fun activities.
The facilities are amazing - spacious, bright and well-equipped. The fees are very reasonable and we love that we get a choice of meals for lunch each day.
I've been waiting to get the chance to leave a review of the nursery here, as I can't say enough good things about it! Our daughter had not been to any formal childcare until just before age two, so we were naturally more than a bit apprehensive about how she would settle. Just half a term later, she skips into the nursery, asks when she will see her room staff and friends on her days at home and is never in a rush to leave when we pick her up. I don't think you need to know much more than that! Also, the meals are great; they have the balance right between good, hearty food and meals that will appeal to the children. The facilities are excellent, and they get to do lots of different activities to mix up their days. But the main thing is the staff; they are a truly brilliant bunch, and we are more than happy to leave our daughter in their care.
I was very apprehensive about signing my children up to a new nursery without any history, however, it has turned out to be a great decision. I have two children that have attended full time for over a year and my children have really grown into great characters whilst also improving their social skills. Everyday my children run into the nursery with excitement and I struggle getting them to leave! They love all the staff who are very attentive to their needs and they regularly feedback to the parents which is very reassuring. Due to the facilities the YMCA have the activities they do with the children are exceptional whether it’s dancing or multi sports both children love it. Each day the children are fed well with natural foods whilst also giving them a choice of meal allowing parents to know the children are getting a nutritious meal whilst also getting a meal the children enjoy. I can’t recommend YMCA nursery highly enough!
