Review from J C (Father of Child) published on 15 December 2023 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

I would like to start off with how beautiful this place is. The grounds it’s on and the facilities and outdoor animals ect, they have is amazing. My son loves coming to nursery, which was a real worry for us with him starting a nursery.
The manager from looking around the nursery to my son starting has been so knowledgeable and reassuring every step of the way. The staff are excellent with updating me on how my son has been ect.

I’m so happy I’ve found a place my son loves and will learn and thrive in. Highly recommend.

Review from S J (Father of Child) published on 12 December 2023 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

Myself and my wife visited many local nurseries, including several that had been recommended to us by friends, before settling on Avon Valley. We knew instantly this was the place for our little boy. The staff show kindness and compassion; they give plenty of reassurance and are beyond knowledgeable.
The manager, in particular, welcomed us with understanding and a wealth of knowledge. We really liked how open and honest she was, how professional she came across and how my son gravitated towards her instantly - something he does not do lightly!

The setting itself is fantastic, with varied educational resources, and the grounds are simply amazing. We feel very lucky to have a place for our son here.

Review from Emily N (Mother of Child) published on 8 December 2023 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

Transition to the new setting was seamless.
The staff care for the children and meet all needs, going above and beyond.
My child’s confidence, vocabulary and personality are shining through and confidence building rapidly with each staff member's guidance and ability to adapt to each child’s needs.

They go in happily and come home happy and tired.

Review from Laura D (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2023 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

My son started this nursery when it opened and has so far had the best time! There were tears the first few times I dropped him off but now he smiles when the door is opened and can’t wait to go inside. The staff are very caring and easy to talk to, they are professional but lots of fun as well. I have great confidence in the manager who is approachable and friendly. The variety of activities is amazing. I was attracted to this nursery because of the space, my son can run about, explore, and play, and is always learning something new. It’s quiet, away from roads, and feels overall really safe.

Review from Gemma G (Mother of Child) published on 2 November 2023 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

Unbelievable nursery. My daughter was born in lockdown and has only ever been with people she knows but she has been at Avon Valley since September and she gets upset on the days she isn’t in nursery, she literally skips into nursery as she loves it so much. The staff are amazing and the nursery and its surroundings are unbelievable. My daughter sees the animals in the park daily.
She has really come out of her shell since going to Avon Valley and comes home and tells us what she has been doing that day about her “teachers” and her friends.
The room she is in is big and has lots of activities, the food choice is brilliant and the children are involved in helping with the prep of snacks, so far we have had apple cake and crumble brought home to us.

My daughter has only been there for 11 months as she starts school next year (September 24) but it will be the best 11 months.

Review from Sophie C (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2023 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

Ever since day one of viewing the nursery, the team have been excellent.
All the staff take the time and make the effort to get to know and build that relationship with the children individually and also the parents. Nothing is ever too much of a hassle and they are always willing to stop and answer any questions/explain to you how your child has done that day, even though they are busy. All staff make you feel at ease and welcome and that takes any worry away from leaving your child in a nursery setting, even on the days when my daughter has got upset going in, I truly feel comfortable and happy that she will be comforted and looked after.

The location, setting and site of the nursery is exceptional and the activities carried out on a daily basis are amazing. I haven’t seen or heard of a nursery doing so much for and with children on a daily basis to help them develop and have fun. I have already seen massive steps with my daughter in only 3 weeks!

Review from Laura C (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2023 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

My little girl absolutely loves coming to nursery each day. She will confidently kiss me and go happily off with the friendly staff.
As it is a new nursery, it’s been lovely how the children have all been part of the exciting opening. They have all brand new resources and each day is new as well as they follow what the children are interested in, very child-led.
I’ve not even mentioned the fact they get to use the animal and play park on-site! I love how they get to see a reindeer, meerkats, and bunnies each time and to the pumpkin patch! They also get to play in the sand pit and indoor soft play.
The staff seem to genuinely enjoy their job and all appear very coherent and knowledgeable. They have taken the time to get to know my daughter as an individual. I love hearing the personal stories and she is being her true self.
The photos and weekly email they send each day/week is brilliant as you can see the many fun activities they do, such as cooking.

Thanks all!

Review from C J (Mother of Child) published on 5 October 2023 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

Such a lovely setting in a beautiful location. My little boy is thriving already, being able to visit the farm and being outdoors was a huge factor in deciding on him attending here.
The staff are kind, compassionate and attentive - the manager, in particular, put my mind at ease and was able to answer all of my questions and continues to support myself and my son, she has been amazing, very knowledgable and my son loves her and his keyworker.

It's been a massive success in transitioning him being away from me and his siblings, as this was something he struggled with. But he goes in every morning and comes home every afternoon beaming with smiles!
