Growing Up Green really feels like an extension of our family and network. Our daughter talks about all the aunties like they are her friends, and this extends to all the members of staff, even members who do not have direct contact through her classes; all know her little personality, and she talks about them around our dinner table. When we move through transitions (whether moving up rooms or emotional milestones), we are delighted most days with photos and detailed accounts of what the class got up to, and how our daughter interacts and grows. The amenities are amazing, but it's the people who make it our community.

The Growing Up Green staff are fantastic and so creative with what activities the kids are doing each day. There is a lovely atmosphere within the whole nursery, and the individual care we have experienced with both our kids has been exceptional. There is a lovely outdoor space in the summer that our kids love tearing around in!

All of the staff & management at Growing Up Green Preston Park are wonderful: very professional at all times, but also very personable and friendly with a genuine interest in our daughters' development and wellbeing. We have been incredibly impressed with GUG since our daughter started here, and we feel very grateful to have such a fantastic nursery in our neighbourhood. :)

Both of my daughters attended Growing Up Green Preston Road at some point. Both loved it. Currently, my youngest is attending and has been there for just over a year. She started in teenies and was immediately at home. Recently, she moved to toddlers, and if anything, loves it more. Growing Up Green is a lovely, nurturing, educational environment, and we love it.

Really friendly and caring staff, especially in the toddlers' room. Great outdoor space. Very pleased with food selections. App is updated regularly.

Our children have been at this nursery for a while and have spent time in three of the four rooms, and we can honestly say the staff have been fantastic in all of them. Every room has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the team put so much effort into creative and engaging activities that our kids absolutely love. The garden is brilliant, and the children get to spend lots of time exploring and playing outside. Emma, the manager, is always available when needed, and she's a great listener. She's positive, welcoming, and really helps create the lovely atmosphere the nursery is known for. Another bonus is that food is provided for every meal of the day, which makes life much easier and our children enjoy it. Overall, we are genuinely very pleased with everything. Our children are happy, supported, and thriving here, and we are very grateful for the wonderful care they receive. We highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and creative place for their child.

Growing Up Green is such a wholesome and nurturing nursery - we couldn't be happier with the care and attention our child receives. The staff are warm, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about helping each child grow with confidence and curiosity. The eco-friendly ethos and beautiful environment make it a calm, inspiring place to learn and play. Our son comes home full of stories, positive conversations, and smiles, which says it all! Communication is excellent, and the whole team make you feel welcomed. We're so grateful to have found Growing Up Green - it's a truly special place that gives children the best possible start in a rustic and organic way.

Our daughter joined in the preschool class. We have been very happy with the aunties, the management, the organisation and activities. You can tell the staff really cares about the work they do and there is so much passion. There is always a really positive lovely vibe when we drop her off. Our daughter is so happy and thriving and this is all thanks for the amazing aunties!

Absolutely wonderful nursery! Both of my children have been part of the Growing Up Green family - my eldest started at 8 months and stayed right through until school, and my youngest is currently attending and just as happy. What stands out most for me is how professional, caring, and genuinely lovely the staff are. It's clear they put so much thought and effort into every part of the day, and I've always felt confident that my children are in safe and nurturing hands. I can't recommend Growing Up Green highly!!

My son joined GUG 2 Toddlers when he was just 2 years old and did not speak any English at the time. The GUG team put in so much effort to help him settle in, and with their patience and dedication, he gradually grew into a confident and happy little bilingual boy, ready for reception. His time at GUG truly laid the foundation for him to come out of his shell, and today he is thriving and absolutely delighted at his new school. We are deeply grateful to the entire GUG team for their support and care.

I have been so thankful to Growing Up Green for taking care of my daughter from the age of 9 months up until her reception year at school. I was quite emotional on her last day, as it felt like she was leaving her extended family. The aunties have been absolutely fantastic and have done a brilliant job preparing her for the transition to school. I always felt confident dropping her off, knowing she would have a fun and fulfilling day. The aunties are nurturing, attentive to each child's individual needs and always happy to talk to you about your child's progress. Each day was filled with engaging and fun activities to the point that it was often a struggle to get her to leave the nursery at the end of the day. I sincerely thank them for taking such wonderful care of my child and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Both of my children have attended Growing Up Green and have thrived in the setting. The nursery has provided a nurturing environment and allowed them to form strong bonds with staff and other children. The outdoor space and on site chef are real bonuses. The management team are friendly and responsive. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Fantastic nursery with wonderful caring and nurturing staff and excellent management. We are really grateful for the excellent care our son has received. His key worker has been amazing and all the staff are experienced and really care about the children.

Growing up Green was our son's second nursery setting and we couldn’t have felt more pleased, reassured and positive about his move two years ago. He’s grown up with the nursery, his wonderful key workers and the staff team as a whole. He is always so happy going in and just as happy coming out. We know he has heaps of fun as well as developmental and educational input from his very experienced key workers every day that he attends. Communication is great between us and the nursery which definitely helps. They are compassionate, helpful, skilled and very knowledgable. Let alone dedicated and hard-working throughout the pandemic! We are so grateful to all the staff team, especially his amazing key workers!

Growing Up Green is a lovely nursery where my twin boys attend. One of my children has health needs and needs medical equipment, so I was very nervous about him attending nursery. I was worried that he would not be able to participate in activities in the same way as other children. Growing Up Green were extremely reassuring and took time to understand his needs. He is treated the same as anybody else and has thrived at nursery. He shows me, with pride, the dance moves he has learnt to nursery rhymes, or just how good his stacking skills have gotten. The staff at Growing Up Green have really gotten to know my boys – who, despite being identical, are very different. I have never felt that they have been treated as the same person, or had it assumed they would like the same things. They are extremely comfortable at nursery and are always excited to arrive at the front doors. The staff are warm and kind and I feel reassured knowing my sons are in safe hands.

We have just moved over from Spain and joined our son at this lovely nursery. From day one staff have been so accommodating, helpful and just generally lovely. My son loves his teachers and thoroughly enjoys his sessions, always asking when he’s next going in! Thanks so much to everyone at Growing Up Green Nursery for welcoming us in.

We are so pleased with the care, activities and environment at Growing Up Green Nursery, as is our son who is always happy and excited for his nursery days! It was and is really important to us to have a “home from home” environment for his childcare and we are so pleased to of found it here. The fact we walk past four other nurseries to get there also says a lot! The brilliant big outdoor space made us decide to choose this nursery initially, along with the smaller sized baby room in comparison to other nurseries for when he first joined, so it felt the best of both worlds. The aunties are wonderful, caring and he always has a lovely day full a variety.

My child started at the beginning of the year and was a real lockdown baby, I feared nursery had their work cut out but he has settled in beautifully and seems to enjoy being there a lot. He has already come back with some paintings and each week the baby activities are shared, they look varied and interesting. He has also started to pick things up from nursery, one of the big ones is clapping himself when he does something good, we love this! Would definitely recommend Growing Up Green Nursery.

We have been very happy to send our child to Growing Up Green Nursery these past three years. He is always willing to go there to see his friends and his 'aunties'. The activities are varied, educational and he loves going in the garden. An organisation is only as good as the people there and we really have to give a special shout out to four members of staff. They are intelligent, kind and caring. As for the food, it is a lovely varied menu and every single day without fail, he has two lots of everything. He loves it, all thanks to one member of staff. In fact, he says he doesn't want to go to school and wants to stay at Growing Up Green Nursery.

I could not sing this nursery's praises enough! Our daughter is a "lockdown" baby and we were so nervous about someone else looking after her and also meeting other children, especially after it just being the three of us for all her life. The staff know what they are doing, even from the first contact to enquire they were the only nursery who made me feel completely at ease from the start. Our daughter had no tears or anything on her first day, and if anything, now hates when we collect her, I think that says it all about the care the children receive. I am impressed with the flexibility of them to assist you with any questions or requests quickly, their administration is efficient and accurate also which is also an important factor. You can see how well the children are looked after and the staff are always happy which also says a lot about a nursery. I'm so glad I was recommended them!
