Highly recommend Lara Nursery and the manager and her team. They've made the whole process easy, not only have they supported my little girl but myself as well, my little girl went in with utter ease and confidence.
Thank you for your lovely review and recommendation of our nursery in Thirsk. We are very pleased to hear that you are happy with our care and it's lovely to see your daughter so keen to join us.
Very happy with this nursery, We moved to Lara after having issues with our past nursery and our daughter now loves it here, she goes on excursions, is always learning, gets to visit the elderly home next door and spend time reading/playing with the older folks in there. At Lara they focus on delivering a nutritious menu to the kids and my daughter never comes home hungry too! Lovely staff and just a great atmosphere in a well-thought-out nursery!

Such a lovely setting with amazing facilities and outdoor space. The team are all so friendly and welcoming and our little one is a big fan of the food! We're so pleased with how well our little one has settled in and it speaks volumes how happy and excited he is every time we collect him.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Lara Nursery. We are delighted to hear how happy you are and how well your child has settled in with us.
All of the staff and management are absolutely fantastic. Leaving my son with them is like dropping him off with family. They all make you feel very welcome.
The facilities are fab there are so many resources to choose from.
The food they give the children is fantastic and such a wide variety.
I cannot recommend Lara Nursery enough.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are very happy to hear how pleased you've been with our care. We will pass your comments on to the staff team and chef.
My son has been at Lära since it opened after being at a previous setting. His speach has improved massively, he has become more confident and independent. All the staff are lovely and my son keeps telling me how much he likes everyone there. I feel so involved with everything that goes on at the nursery and have brilliant contact with the nursery with everything to do with my son. It is amazing to see him developing so fast and to see all the new skills he is learning. I feel confident that he is learning more about how to stay safe while out with different people and learning about how to contribute to a group, he did not get even close to learning this in his last setting. Could not ask for any better for my childen at all and would recommend to everyone!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Lara Nursery. We are delighted that your son has settled in so well, it's our pleasure to watch him flourish here at Lara Nursery.
I love that parental involvement and other family members like myself are included in the development of our children and we are kept up to date.
The staff and management are very welcoming and attentive and go out of their way to give our children the best experience.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Lara Nursery, it's great to hear that you enjoyed our stay and play sessions. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
