Overall is a good nursery, my little boy is happy there. I am greatfull for the staff (for everyone who looks after my son including reception). The food I found is pretty much the same every week. ( I know my son is only 16m old but I mentioned he can eat everything). Management a little bit cold but it's fine until they look well after my son. There has been two incidents where they didn't know how my son hurt himself because they didn't saw the incident they realised only after that he was bleeding a bit, but nothing big happened so I am still happy with that. As I said overall is a good nursery and the stuff is kind, my son pretty much is happy every morning when we arrive and smiling and he love to cuddle all the lady which makes me really happy. And if he has a rough morning and crying when I leave there, in a couple of minutes the girls sends me pictures with him already playing and smiling. Thank you
We've had such a lovely experience with this nursery. The team are warm, caring and patient, and it's been wonderful to see our little one grow in confidence with their support. One of the biggest changes has been at mealtimes-he's always been a picky eater, but they've somehow worked their magic...
It means so much to know he's somewhere he feels cared for and encouraged. We're so grateful to the lovely team for everything they do. Would happily recommend to other parents!

Wonderful staff, very caring. My little one enjoys going there. We were a bit hesitant in the beginning about sending our little one to Spencers wood but not anymore. We took the right decision. Very happy overall.

Before starting, we did wonder if the baby room being in the basement would make any difference, but it honestly doesn't at all. The room is bright, welcoming, and full of engaging activities, and most importantly our baby clearly has the best day there. He's always busy playing, learning, and interacting with the staff and other babies.
Thankyou spencerswood team :)

Fantastic nursery with amazing staff. My child was quite unsettled initially starting nursery (as they all are) but the incredible team have done an excellent job in helping him settle. My child is on his fifth week and now he doesn't want to leave when I pick him up! Really value the communication from the nursery and through the app, knowing how my child has got on with eating and sleep is very helpful. That being said the staff in the room always give a detailed update at pick up on how my child has got on. Particular shout out to the ladybird and caterpillar room team who have done wonders settling my child in and keeping us up to date.

My only honest concern relates to the safeguarding with reception. Reception is rarely staffed and you can easily enter the building when other parents leave the gate. You can sometimes walk into the building and straight into the rooms. I appreciate the staff in the actual rooms know us and are not likely to hand over a child to an adult they don't know but it worries me that reception is non-existent a majority of the time and although unlikely it worries me slightly.
