I am thankful for this opportunity to review Ellie's Nursery as they have been incredibly welcoming to us as a family. They always make the children feels so included and safe. I was obviously nervous, as any parent would be, handing my little one over to a nursery for the first time, but I couldn't have hoped for a better group of people to keep her safe and happy. Thanks to the whole team Ellie's.

I have been so impressed with Ellie's nursery and how much they have helped our son settle in. He has been there 6 months now and he absolutely loves it! Ellie's are very attentive to each child and they have encouraged our son so much with his speaking and his favourite activities. The staff are all wonderful and the atmosphere at the nursery is one of love and care. Our son went full time at Ellie's at 10 months old so this has been really reassuring for us that he is in such good hands.

started at Ellie's 3 weeks ago two days a week. My child hadn't ever been left before so was worried. Well that went out the window - had three settling in sessions where she didn't even acknowledge me! The sensory room had just opened which is an absolutely amazing space. My child has additional needs and she loves it in there. The staff are all so friendly and caring and my little girl loves in goes straight in without a backward glance. I'm so happy I managed to get a place here as it's friendly professionals al yet small enough so no one is overlooked. Oh forgot freshly prepared meals and snacks from in-house chef!

Ellie's has been a godsend for us, I was new to the area and was searching for a local nursery, visiting many around Epping which didn't quite hit the mark, I was so happy when I found out Ellie's would be opening on the high road. I contacted Ellie before the nursery even opened and she was super helpful from the get-go. I had a great feeling and attended the open day and once I met the staff it sealed the deal. My son started in July and everyone has been so accommodating when settling him in, going above and beyond to ensure he's comfortable and happy. He comes home and tells me that his key workers are 'funny' and seeing the progress he's made is a reflection on how attentive they all are. Very happy with our choice and highly recommend it!

We joined Ellie's Nursery in June after leaving another nursery. The transition was easy. The staff are absolutely amazing. My child gets very excited for nursery days. My child has learnt so much since joining Ellies. I feel the level of care and attention my child and I have received is phenomenal. I am so happy we changed nurseries and I highly recommend Ellie's to every parent I meet.

The lovely nursery and the team there are great. Our little girl settled in very fast and she is always happy to go in. The location is perfect for us, Epping really needed another nursery and this one is our favourite.

Ellie's Nursery has been fantastic with my 3-year-old son, I can't recommend them enough! Having moved from another area, the Manager has been incredibly thoughtful easing him in gently, ensuring he settled and helping him establish a routine (not to mention new friends). They have the latest facilities (including miniature toilets to help with potty training), educational toys and books. Their outside area has a soft floor for safety along with a race track for the children to enjoy, a sand pit and many more toys. They have herb/fruit plants to encourage the children to learn about food. The Manager and her team are warm, and thoughtful and make learning fun, the nursery really does feel like a little family.

Hi, I’m Tamara, Deputy Manager at Ellie’s Nursery
I’m 26 and have worked in childcare since 2016, starting my career straight after leaving school. I’ve always been passionate about child development and love creating fun, engaging activities that inspire children, build their confidence and help them reach their next milestones. My favourite children’s book is The Tiger Who Came to Tea.
I have my Level 3 Childcare Extended Diploma and obtained my Level 5 Qualification in Leadership and Management in Early Years.
Supporting families is something I really value. I previously worked as a Family Support Worker, which gave me valuable experience in guiding and advising parents. I strongly believe that working in partnership with families creates the best outcomes for children.
Alongside my role as Deputy Manager, I’m also a Learning Mentor for apprentices, supporting and developing the next generation of early years practitioners.
I’m proud to be part of the Ellie’s Nursery team and love supporting our children, families and staff every day.
