The Early Years Academy Ibstock

The staff are so friendly and caring to us as a family, taking the time to get to know us as the parents of the child attending. We had a bumpy start but now I have such a happy boy who loves his time at nursery and socialising with the staff in baby room. We are so glad we chose early years academy.

My boy has improved so much since being here, I would recommend this nursery to anyone

There's a lovely atmosphere in the nursery, the moment you walk in. Staff are amazing and work really hard with the children to build their confidence. My son has only been attending for a short while but I am already impressed with the activities and care that he has been given. I'm excited to watch my son grow as he moves through the nursery and eventually up to pre school. I can't praise the place enough.

WOW! My twin girls started in January aged 3 by 2 weeks in, they are nearly fully potty trained! They love this nursery so much! And are already over achieving from such a short period of time! My girls are thriving! They love the selection of hot lunch and snacks provided for the twins! Thank you to the manager and team for all you've done so far!

Both me be my partner have been amazed with this nursery. We have seen our child's progression really come on since attending nursery here. We have seen her vocabulary, ability to count and identify colours all improve. All the staff we have encountered have been really knowledgeable and have helped us as parents to echo the same key words and teachings at home as they use in nursery. Overall we are over the moon with this nursery and can't speak highly enough of them.

Since my daughter started in July of this year, so far she'd had a wonderful journey. The staff are all so lovely and my daughter always has a smile on her face when arriving in a morning. I couldn't be happier with my choice of nursery for my child. All the rooms are wonderful and well equipped for each age group. It is a nice and peaceful environment and I am pleased my child gets to explore and learn here.

My daughter started attending The Early Year Academy Ibstock after being at her last nursery since she was 14 months old! The move was very daunting but it's the best thing I have done for her. The staff are brilliant and have really listened to my concerns regarding her development and education and put things into place which are not only helping at nursery are helping her at home! My daughter is so happy when I collect her and asks every day if she is going to nursery! Her confidence has increased no end and it's lovely to see her coming home happy every day! I can't thank the staff enough for listening to my worries but also putting my mind at rest!

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

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.

I highly recommend this nursery!

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.

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.

All the staff are super friendly and very helpful. My daughter has become extremely confident since starting at the Early Years Academy Ibstock, I couldn’t recommend this nursery more, they give detailed reviews of your child’s development which I feel is fantastic, my daughter enjoys going to the nursery every day she is in, the nursery itself is so nice and welcoming also.

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!

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.
