My son has been at Apricots since January, and it did take him a little while to settle in, which was challenging for both of us. However, the team in the baby room have been absolutely wonderful. They showed him so much care, patience and encouragement, with plenty of cuddles along the way.
They
were also incredibly supportive of me as a parent, offering reassurance and guidance throughout the settling-in process, which meant a lot during those early days.
Now he goes in happily, and I truly couldn't wish for a better place or people to leave him with. It's been such a full-on but incredibly rewarding journey watching him grow in confidence and go from strength to strength.
A few weeks ago he was poorly, and when I arrived to collect him it was so heartwarming to see him being cuddled and comforted. Knowing he is loved and cared for just as you would hope for your child means everything.

We honestly couldn't be happier with Apricots. After a previous difficult experience with a childminder, I was understandably very anxious about my son starting somewhere new. The team have been absolutely incredible - not just with him, but with me too.
They supported him so gently and patiently
through the settling-in period, and he adjusted far quicker than I ever expected. It's clear how caring, attentive and experienced the staff are. They've made him feel safe, happy and confident, which as a parent is everything.
Communication has been fantastic, and they've always taken the time to reassure me and answer any worries I had. It's such a comfort knowing he's somewhere he's genuinely excited to go to.

My daughter has settled in so well to Apricot Day Nursery. All of the staff are so welcoming and approachable, and the app is fantastic in keeping parents up to date throughout the day to see how the kids have been getting on. Would highly recommend!

Since the moment we stepped foot into Apricots, we have felt at ease. My son had a hard time adapting to nursery, but the love and care that was shown throughout has helped my son settle in, and now he waves us off smiling. Thank you to all at Apricot.

Both my children (16 months apart) attended the setting, and the team has been fantastic - a really pragmatic team that is supportive, willing to work with the parents, and clear subject matter experts when it came to early years. I could not recommend the team and the setting enough.

My child is fitting in more and more every week he is at nursery. The staff are very helpful and supportive. I can see my child's development.

Apricots have been amazing with my daughter. She's been here since she was 9 months and that's really bonded with all the staff. They have such a diverse range of play and promote independence and autonomy for the children. They provide the perfect blend of messy play, learning, outback activities
and reading. The children eat a diet of home-cooked meals, which I'm often jealous of. Can't rate Apricots Enough!

My son loves his time at nursery. His confidence has grown so much. Each of the girls in his room are so friendly and helpful, creating a warm, safe, caring environment.
18 August 2025
Staff are very friendly and clearly take great care and pride in the children they are looking after. My daughter is always happy to go in and looks like she is having a great time! The updates via the app are very useful to see what she's eaten and what activities they are doing in the room.

We really appreciate all the time and effort put into my child's time at the nusery. Not only have they/you made her happy and settled, you have made us feel confident and relaxed, even with all her complex needs.
You provide such a wide range of activities that help stimulate her, keep her engaged
and active and the food/meals are second to none.
Thank you for all you've done and that I know you will continue to do. A special shout out to one of the staff for all her time and effort with my child, we have really seen the change in her progression and confidence.

OUr son has really deveoped with Apricot, becoming more talkative, trying new foods & making friends.
27 March 2025
Our daughter started at Apricot preschool in Jan2025 and from the settling in days till now we've been so happy with the care. The team clearly love what they do and have a very good relationship with the kids. The space is lovely and we love how large an outdoors space the kids have, they go
outside multiple times a day. The other major point is the communication. The team proactively provides a lot of feedback on the activities and mood during the day, also the standard feedback on food, nappies etc and we get a photo (or sometimes more) per day which helps a lot with feeling comfortable that our kid is having a good day taken care of.
Thanks to the whole team and a special thanks to tow of the ladies for showing so much care to our daughter!

Apricot, both the nursery and Pre-school are excellent. Both our children have been through and we've seen all staff and rooms. Our youngest is currently in the pre school 1 room. The managers, and the whole team are so caring and supportive of the kids and of us as parents. I especially rate the
diversity of food, and the activities. Over the past year and a bit, the thought going into the early years education has come on a lot, and more external activities such as baby zumba and sports have been introduced.

All the staff at Apricot nursery are fantastic. They are welcoming, take genuine care over my child, friendly, and create exciting play set-ups to allow him to explore. I never worry leaving him there!

The staff at Apricot Nursery and Pre-school has always been great, lately they've really gone the extra mile to make my little one feel Included in the activities and they supported us parents in doing our bit

Our little boy has been at Apricot Day Nursery for 9 months. I love hearing about all the activities he has done and things he has learned. They have changed their toys/equipment a few times so there is usually something new. The staff are also great when I have a concern about my child, and helping
with skills he needs to work on.

Since my daughter joined in September 2024, she has really flourished in her personality and learning. She comes home saying new things that's she's learnt at nursery. All the staff are so lovely and friendly.
They always do special activities to mark various holidays and send my daughter home with
Cards she's made for Christmas or valentines. She has made some really good friends and it's so nice to see her growing in a safe and fun environment
13 March 2025
Apricot have always been excellent for both my children. They know and understand their needs and personality and provide excellent care and activities. My children have always been happy there and I would thoroughly recommend them.

Absolutely brilliant! They clearly care about the children. The communication between staff and parents is first-rate. The higher-ups have a great hiring process in place because the staff they have chosen are wonderful.

My son has been at Apricot Preschool since June and he absolutely loves it. All the staff are fantastic, so friendly and caring. The support I have received for my son has been second to none. They recently received a makeover with lots of new toys and resources so the setting itself is lovely and
full of loads of activities in which they do many different things every day. I love the outdoor area, it's the biggest garden I've seen after viewing various settings previously. They constantly update the portal so you know what's been going on including pictures and development updates. Would recommend it to anyone.
