Review from Lauren C (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot fault anything at all. Since starting at The Early Years Academy Ibstock, our son has come on so much socially and academically. He is the happiest little boy and we cannot thank staff enough for all of their help with his development so far. We have no doubt at all that we have made the right choice in choosing a nursery that will give our boy the perfect start! Thank you.

Our child has recently started at the nursery. Our experience so far has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff have been very supportive in getting our child to settle into his new routine and the communication has been great

Overall Experience

All the staff are amazing and very person-centered with kids. The staff couldn't do any more to help my little boy settle and always there to put your mind at rest that he is in great care and settling in so well. I love the app to be able to see what he is doing ect and how he is geting on. Highly recommend The Early Years Academy Ibstock.

Overall Experience
Early Years Academy Ibstock is simply wonderful from the environment, resources and staff. I was instantly blown away from the moment I stepped through the door. The staff are so friendly, kind, approachable and very knowledgeable. I feel confident and happy leaving my little boy in their care every day knowing he is in a safe, nurturing environment. The rooms and daily experiences look so inviting every day and the activities they plan to support his development and interests.

I highly recommend this nursery!

Overall Experience

My daughter is 2 and hasn’t been to a nursery before and has found it a little tough to adjust. Staff have been so patient and encouraging trying to get her into her new routine. Have had plenty of settling-in sessions and have never felt that I’ve been pushed to leave her to just get on with it. She’s made new friends, has come home with pictures and paintings. Always updates on the app regarding what food she has eaten and always an update at the end of the day of how she has been. Highly recommend.

Review from Emily B (Mother of Child) published on 15 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I couldn’t recommend The Early Years Academy highly enough. My daughter is very shy and nervous, but the staff always make sure she’s happy and relaxed whilst in their care. The nursery has such a lovely feel to it, with different activities set out for the children each day, so they never get bored. My little girl is always so full of stories of what she’s been up to when I pick her up. My daughter has additional medical needs, and the way the whole nursery have spent so much time learning about her condition, how to use the relevant equipment and completing training with the hospital, so that she was able to attend, and so that we felt completely at ease leaving her, has meant the world. There really is nothing bad to say.

Review from Samantha P (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Early Years Academy is an outstanding nursery, my son settled in straight away and has thrived since attending. The staff are amazing with him and he adores each and everyone of them. They focus on his likes and help him thrive in what he's good at. As well as helping him achieve his milestones. The setting itself is beautiful and they have done wonders to make the setting a calming welcoming nursery for all. The staff honestly can't do enough for the children and constantly looking at ways they can improve. The day rates are affordable and it's a relief to have a nursery that is all-inclusive for someone who is always forgetful it's one less stress having to constantly remember to bring top up nappies, wipes etc. Honestly, if you're looking for a nursery in the area don't go anywhere else but here, book a walk around you definitely won't regret it!

Review from Danielle C (Mother of Child) published on 22 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The Early Years Academy in Ibstock is absolutely incredible and as a family, we cannot sing their praises highly enough. As a first-time mummy who had a traumatic birth experience during Covid, I suffered with separation anxiety and couldn’t/wouldn’t leave our son with anyone else whatsoever. Knowing that it was something I needed to overcome (especially nearing school age) we began to explore nursery options and I was adamant he would only do one morning per week wherever he went. No setting felt right for us and we were just about to give up completely when Early Years Academy opened and it was like a breath of fresh air. The entire staff team are the loveliest people; so kind and compassionate. They have supported us through the transition (the parent room is such an asset) and our son has settled so well he actually attends two days per week! I wish there was room to write more because truly, it has been the best experience and a complete relief and dream come true to find such a caring environment for our little world.
