Review from Julie B (Mother of Child) published on 23 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Daughter has spent 2 years at Nara Horton and I can highly recommend them. All of the staff are extremely caring and several built a fantastic rapport with my Daughter. The nursery has fantastic resources and offers a large range of activities for the Children, such as cookery sessions and forest school time. The garden is deceptively large and is a lovely space within which the Children can play.
My Daughter has really enjoyed a wide range of delicious home cooked meals that are made on-site with fresh ingredients.

Overall Nara Horton has a lovely homely feeling with a fantastic team delivering great care and I can't recommend this nursery enough!

Review from Sam K (Father of Child) published on 24 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I only have good things to say about Nara Horton. I feel that our 2-year old is very well cared for and supported to play and explore. The staff are absolutely fantastic, they are happy and engaging, and they take the time to treat each child as an individual and to understand the needs and likes of every single one.
There are always a wide range of imaginative activities set up and adapted throughout the day, with great variation from baking to building to playing out stories. The outdoor gardens are another highlight and fab for exploring and experimenting.

The nursery management are as wonderful as the staff, with superb communication and flexibility and genuine care for continuous improvement and doing things the right way.

Review from Oriana B (Mother of Child) published on 13 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Nära Horton Nursery has been a wonderful part of our lives for nearly six years. Both of our children have thrived in this nurturing, friendly setting. The staff are incredibly kind and genuinely care for each child, creating a warm, home-from-home environment.

The outdoor space and Forest School are fantastic, surrounded by trees, and the children spend lots of time exploring and enjoying the fresh air. Indoors, the activities are varied and engaging, always tailored to support learning through play.

The team are excellent at encouraging each child's development at their own pace, helping to build confidence, independence, and a love of learning. We love the app, which keeps us up to date with daily photos and updates, helping us stay connected.

The food is nutritious and well-balanced, and the children are even involved in making some on occasions!

We're incredibly grateful for the care, support, and memories the team has given us.

Review from Stavrina P (Mother of Child) published on 4 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Nara Nursery in Horton has been an absolute blessing for my two-year-old. From day one, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, making the transition smooth and stress-free. Their warmth and dedication truly stand out, and my child adores attending every day.
Their nurturing environment is exceptional, filled with engaging activities that support learning, creativity, and social development. Since joining, I've seen remarkable growth in my child's confidence and independence. The team communicates wonderfully, keeping me updated on daily routines, milestones, and progress.
The facilities are well-maintained, safe, and thoughtfully designed to cater to young children's needs. The outdoor play space is a fantastic addition, allowing little ones to explore and stay active.

I couldn't ask for a better place for my child. Nara Nursery has provided a loving, stimulating, and secure setting, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent. Thank you for all that you do!
