We are so pleased with how our daughter has settled into the nursery. The staff have really taken the time to know her, and there are many times when she comes home saying their names and so I know she enjoys her time there! We are so happy with the University Nursery at West Cambridge, and it is a
huge relief for me to be able to leave our daughter somewhere where she is clearly so comfortable.

We've had such a lovely experience at West Cambridge nursery, especially in the Ladybird room. The staff there are truly wonderful - warm, attentive and genuinely engaged with the children. It's clear they really care.
My daughter absolutely enjoys her time there and comes home happy, which means
everything to me as a parent. She has bonded really well with her key worker Lucy and the other girls which all seem to be so warm and responsive. The team creates a positive and nurturing environment, and I can see how much effort they put into making the days fun and stimulating.
Kelly and Lesa as well are always incredibly responsive and supportive, and Tracy and Tom at reception are consistently friendly and helpful. It makes a real difference knowing there is such a kind and professional team looking after your child.
We feel very grateful to be part of this nursery community.

This nursery is truly amazing and always exceeds our expectations. I am impressed by the professionalism, dedication and care that the managers and the staff show towards my son and the other children. All of the staff are very thoughtful, reliable and communicative, and provide constructive answers
to any questions we may have. Our key persons and others provide us with lots of information about his time at nursery, including details of physical, artistic and environmental activities, emotional interactions, friendships, mealtimes, sleep routines, and the development of various abilities. There are plenty of great fun and educational activities each week, and all the staff pay close attention to each child's unique interests. My son has enjoyed spending time with his friends and teachers, and he always comes home full of joyful stories. The greatest change we have noticed since he started at this nursery is that he has developed a healthy trust and positive relationships with others.

Very happy with this nursery. Staff are warm, genuinely interested in my child and attentive, observant to small behavioural changes. They offer a range of varied activities every day and lots of outdoor time. Great communication with a combination of the app giving real time updates, emails and
face to face chats. Love the salary sacrifice payment option.

Exceptional nursery! Our toddler is thriving here and always has such a fun time with the very friendly and professional staff. Every day there are new activities and healthy food choices too. We're so thrilled to send our child here.

We have so enjoyed being a part of the West Cambridge family. From the first day in the baby room right through to the last day in preschool, the staff have always been so friendly and kind. Our key people in particular have been amazing, especially when we were nervous first time parents! Our boy
is naturally quite quiet, but coming to nursery has helped him develop from nerves to confidence. We are very sad to have to leave but have some brilliant memories and friends to take with us!

Our son Freddie has been welcomed into the family with open arms. We are so thankful to the wonderful staff here for making our son feel extremely comfortable in his new surroundings. Everyday I pick him up I see a new improvement in his development and learning. There is a real sense of family here
at the nursery and I am proud to be a part of it and watch our son there in a happy and caring environment.

Excellent experience. Very kind and professional staff very supportive for both: child and parents. Child eat well, I don't need to worry about this side. I see huge improvement in my son learning ect. I am incredibly pleased that we choose this nursery, as I cannot imagine the better end.

The University of West Cambridge Nursery is truly the best you could ever ask for. My son started there when he was just one year old, and since then, it has become his absolute favourite place to be. He loves spending time at the nursery, and I can see every day how much he thrives in their care.
Everyone at the nursery, from the management to the staff, is incredibly friendly, supportive, and respectful of both my son's needs and ours as parents. What stands out most is the genuine care and individual attention each child receives. The team goes above and beyond to understand and support every child's unique needs, something I haven't seen in other places.
We feel so lucky to have chosen this nursery for our son. It's a nurturing, engaging, and truly special place, and I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Simply put, an excellent nursery! Our eldest thrived here and we're so pleased our youngest can now begin her journey. The staff are caring and understanding; it really feels like one big family. All ages have free flow into their dedicated outside areas, something we have struggled to find at any
other nursery. The learning encourages, support and extends.

I joined the nursery 6 years ago for my first daughter and came back for my second one. I love the fact that you feel at home, like in a family. I think kids feel this too. I have seen other nurseries but this one is the best. The way they look after kids and report to parents is very reassuring.
Kids do activities that I could never do at home.

Our child has been attending the nursery for almost a year now. He settled in very quickly when he first started attending the nursery. He really enjoys going to the nursery and there are always lots of different activities for the children to do to learn. Some the highlights included helping to
bake a cake. The staff are also very caring and most importantly, we feel we can trust them to look after our child. We are so happy to have chosen the nursery and a great thank you to all the staff at the nursery!

They have always looked after my son very well and he enjoys being at the nursery. In particular he enjoys the interactive learning.

We could not be more grateful for all the hard work of all the team at Cambridge West. Especially the manager, her dedication is outstanding. Two other members of staff are also invaluable assets to the nursery, and the support from another is incredible for our SEN child. They recently got awarded
their outstanding Ofsted rating, and it is very clear why. Absolutely well deserved! Thank you a million times over. So glad we found you. Our child has developed so much, and it is a huge credit to you.

The nursery has looked after both our children for a total of 7 years. We could not have asked for a better upbringing - they have been instrumental in their upbringing. They have helped them become kind, happy, friendly, confident and intelligent. The staff are both friends and family to us and we
couldn't have hoped for a better start for our children.
01 July 2025
Overall, we are very satisfied with the nursery. Our daughter appears to be settled well and generally enjoys the nursery. I marked the learning as satisfactory as I need to gather more information on what the teachers think of her development. Her language is coming along slowly - she understands a
lot, but her talking is not as strong. Otherwise, her motor skills are good. She is getting quite emotional these days, but perhaps this is to be expected given her age.

West Cambridge nursery is a wonderful place! Both my children have loved their experience and adore attending and all the staff.
01 May 2025
Amazing on all accounts. I would strongly recommend to all parents. This nursery gives me the confidence to go to work free from any concerns knowing my child is in excellent hands.
10 February 2025
Excellent nursery for our son, who has grown with the support from amazing staff whom in every room support the children to achieve their best.
10 February 2025
Excellent nursery! The staff are super kind and engaged. Best part is that one members of staff's mash potato is the best in the world... just saying.
4 members of staff in particular are a real asset (so are all the others!)
Well done to the entire team.
