Review from Fay G (Mother of Child) published on 24 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is loving going to nursery, which has been such a huge relief for me after he had difficulties settling at his previous nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been so patient, attentive, and understanding of his individual needs. They have created such a warm, calm, and welcoming environment where he feels safe, supported, and happy.
Communication with the nursery has also been amazing. The staff always keep me updated and informed, which gives me real peace of mind as a parent. I've seen such a positive change in my son's confidence and overall happiness since starting here.

The team genuinely care about the children and go above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable and included. I'm truly grateful for all the support, kindness, and dedication they show every day, and I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience

My son is having a really good time at the horseshoe preschool. Hes well looked after, happy and genuinely cared for. Hes come out his shell alot with his confidence and his speech has improved significantly. The staff are very engaging with the children and really do provide the care that children need in a preschool setting. Im so happy with the preschool. The staff are understanding, empathetic and so helpful. Couldnt have chosen a better place for my son to go to.

Overall Experience
A fantastic childcare setting cannot recommend enough, the staff are so friendly and organised. They create a wonderful safe space for my child which she enjoys going to. There is an excellent balance of play and appropriate learning through play provided by them

My children have all attended here and I will be sad for my last to leave in July after a great experience.

Overall Experience

The ladies at the horseshoe nursery are amazing they are one of a kind!! They are only a small run pre school that need more funding because honestly we looked at 7 pre schools for my son and none of the other company run pre schools compared to the people/staff at the horseshoe! They may not have as many facilities but what they lack in some equipment they more than make up for in the staff and their dedication to the children in their care. They have all been amazing especially management, my son adores them

My son has been going to the Horseshoe for over 1 year, he loves going in to pre-school in the morning. Since new management there have been many changes including the garden which has had a lot of work done which my son loves playing in! All the staff are friendly which makes all the difference.
