I can't praise the nursery enough and I would recommend them to anyone. My little boy loves going in and is always excited on nursery days. The staff have been amazing and go above and beyond! They identify any additional needs and provide outstanding support. They have given my son additional
support which he engages well with and finds fun, I can already see progress which I am so grateful for. They have also given me ideas and resources to use at home to ensure I am keeping things fun and interactive at home.

Conkers Day Nursery can only be described as utterly wonderful. The staff are super friendly, personable and knowledgeable, the facilities are excellent and tailored to all children's requirements no matter their age, and communication from them, both via email, the app and in person couldn't be
better! The activities they create for the children are both enjoyable and educational and my daughter always comes home happy and content. The on-site cook makes the most delicious homemade meals and what's provided is always of a high standard. I couldn't recommend Conkers enough!

Our daughter loves Conkers and we couldn't be happier with the care that they provide. The staff are warm, patient and friendly and I believe they're genuinely invested in the wellbeing of each child. The nursery is clean and safe and we are kept updated with daily photos and diaries on the app
which helps us feel connected to our child's day. We are so grateful to have found Conkers and for the care they provide, our little one is thriving.

Never concerned about leaving my daughter. She is always happy to go to staff.
Staff are helpful and engaging. We are kept informed of her daily activities and progress via the app, and messages are reinforced on collection. I am always amazed at the amount of creative activities carried out and
enjoy hearing my daughter explain what she has done that day.

As soon as I was pregnant, I signed my daughter up for Conkers. I work locally in the area and every parent at my work has sent their babies to Conkers: from over 20 years ago, to the last few years, and everything in-between. My daughter is currently in the Spring room 4 days a week and it is her
favourite place. She's excited to go every morning, and has the best time. I receive updates, photos, regular emails, and I love having a chat with her workers at drop off and pick up; they can tell me everything about her day and know her so well. She is so well looked after here and I have complete peace of mind all day when I'm at work. She would go at the weekend if she could! When I've had to swap days or email at the weekend, I get replies and I am so grateful for this. Couldn't recommend more if I tried.

My daughters has been attending this nursery since she was nine months old, and now at two and a half, she continues to absolutely love it. From the beginning, the staff have been warm, friendly, and consistently attentive, making the environment feel safe and welcoming. It's clear that they take
genuine interest in each child, and we've always felt confident that our daughter is well cared for throughout the day.
The team provide a nurturing setting where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and build their confidence. Our daughter has developed strong bonds with both staff and peers, and it's wonderful to see how excited she is to go in every morning. Communication is excellent, with regular updates about her activities, meals, and progress, which really reassures us as parents.
We've noticed significant growth in her social skills, speech, and independence since joining the nursery. The activities are engaging and varied, supporting both educational and play-based develop

Conkers has been incredible for our daughter. She has developed so much over her time with them. All staff are friendly, caring and communication is amazing. I know she is going to miss her time there!

I can't speak highly enough of Conkers nursery. They helped our son settle in so well and from day one I could see the amount of care and attention they put in to create a safe, loving and fun environment for him to be in.
He gets so excited to go to nursery and talks about his key workers all the
time and the friends he's made there.
We so enjoy reading his daily diary and seeing the lovely photos they put on the app.
I love how they teach the children such a variety of subjects, celebrations & activities. Our hearts burst every time we bring home a beautiful card made by him with the help of the staff and see all the incredible activities and arts and crafts they do with him.
He eats such a wonderful variety of food there too and I'm inspired by the weekly meal plan for them.
I love how every member of staff knows all the children's names and individual needs. They really do provide that above and beyond care for each child and it's so appreciated. Thank you so much!

Conkers are just amazing.
Our little boy went to nursery for the first time this January, he had just turned 2.
I found the whole process of sending him to Nursery very challenging as he hadn't left my side. Conkers were so supportive and helped me and my baby boy settle nicely.
Our little boy
now loves nursery, it took him a couple of weeks with 1 day a week and now he just walks in. It's the nicest feeling seeing updates throughout the day and on collection the smiles about his day is really lovely, we know we have made the best decision for him.
His speech has really improved and he is learning so much, lots of pictures and activities each time he goes.
Being around other children also helps him with his food, he isn't a big eater he grazes but always eats everything given to him at nursery.
We have now increased to 2 days a week.
I can't thank Conkers enough, I am genuinely so happy with this nursery.
Thank you Conkers

My daughter attends Conkers nursery two days a week. Her confidence has grown so much since she started and she has made great relationships with all the staff. They have been very accommodating to her needs and have worked well with us to continue to help her develop.

Great nursery, lovely staff, all friendly and kind.
Lovely space and facilities.
We adore our child's keryworker as we feel she genuinely cares about our girl.
Overall, we have a very happy girl going into nursery for her sessions.
Food is good, as is the communication.
We've never had an issue
and are due our second baby soon, we have already booked a place for number 2!
Thank you Conkers for all you do!

Conkers is a superb nursery and my son had a wonderful time there. The setting is friendly and caring, with lovely staff who really care about each child. My son has thrived and made some wonderful friends. Flexible pick up and drop off times are great and I know I only need to pick up the phone or
email any requests or concerns. The variety of play and structured sessions has been great for my son's development in all areas. We will really miss Conkers and were very emotional when it was time to leave, as were the team. Highly recommended.

Both of my children come to Conkers Nursery School and absolutely thrive. I am an extremely anxious mum and spent a lot of time researching what nurseries would be the right fit for our family. The staff at Conkers have all been absolutely amazing. Everyone we have dealt with has been reassuring,
patient and knowledgeable. Everyone has been incredibly supportive, and patient with us as parents. One of my children has additional medical needs and the staff have been brilliant in dealing with anything. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Conkers to anyone. Our children are absolutely thriving, and happy!

Our son attended Conkers from eight months old, until starting school recently. The amazing team they have, undoubtedly helped him to become the kind, caring, polite, and sociable boy he is. His smooth transition to school is a testament to their professionalism and grasp of early years education so
that he has not only been able to get up to speed with everything he needs to but has also had amazing fun along the way. He never once wasn't anything less than excited about getting up and going to Conkers, and although he'll miss it, it has now hopefully given him the same enthusiasm for going to school.

Conkers Nursery is an amazing early-year education provider. The staff have been fabulous since our son started with them in September 2020. Throughout his 4 years there, he and we have been fully supported, kept informed of progress and most importantly, our son had fun. All the staff think nothing
of going above and beyond to provide a comforting experience for the children in their care.
I wholeheartedly recommend Conkers Nursery.

Both our children have attended Conkers, our daughter from 9 months has now left and is at school but the learnings and teaching she was given have prepared her well for School. Our son started at 6 months and is thriving. The staff have been so lovely and have become more than teachers to us. We
will be very sad next year when our son leaves to start school. A massive thank you to three members of staff who have been our main contacts over the years.

Having moved to the area in December 2023 we were delighted to have been able to have a one-day placement at Conkers. Our daughter settled quickly and loves attending. The level of care is amazing and small little details like making cookies to celebrate my daughter’s birthday just highlight what an
amazing nursery Conkers is. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and we are sad that we are off to Primary school soon and will have to say goodbye.

My daughter has been at this nursery for 3 months. We chose Conkers as they are able to take children younger than 2 years, she was 10 months when she started. In three months she has become more social with other children and has become very confident for her age, which I believe has come from her
time at nursery. I liked that there are separate rooms for the different age groups so the baby room is focused on appropriate activities for her age group. I cannot fault the care she has received since there, and I really like the app which updates me with what she has been doing during the day. The staff are friendly and caring, my daughter is happy to be handed over in the morning which I believe shows that she enjoys it there. She always comes home happy and in a good mood.
