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.

Spencer Wood Day Nursery is doing good. I would like to see the staff more prompt in updating the daily chores of children on the app. At the moment I feel it's very minimum info about how the day was.

My children are so happy at this nursery and are absolutely thriving! The staff encourage my children through learning and play and really supports their growth.
