Such a wonderful nursery. Warm, friendly and homely. We originally moved from a larger nursery and I love how much more personal the priory is - you get to know everyone! The garden is also lovely, and both indoors and out there's so much scope for creative, open-ended play, thanks to the thoughtfully sourced objects & resources that spark the children's imaginations. My son and daughter are very different, and I'm so grateful for how perceptive and adaptable the staff have been. They really have tuned in to their characters, and nurtured their natural qualities and interests. Thank you all so much

Our son loves going to this nursery. They have a lovely homely environment and he loves playing in their garden. He enjoys their lunches and often eats far more at nursery than he does at home! The staff are all so kind and patient with our son and he loves to give them all a cuddle when he arrives in the morning. We love that the nursery allows you to pay by the hour, every little helps when looking for potential childcare options!

My little one had an emotional time settling in, which took quite a few weeks. The staff and the manager were very understanding and caring for her, especially during this period, enabling her to eventually feel comfortable and she is now thriving at the nursery! They also welcomed telephone during the day to have a quick check on the child which is incredibly reassuring.

The Priory Day Nursery has been amazing, supporting my young family as a working Mum. I can't thank them enough for the fast language development for my two-year-old Son, and the staff are amazing! Thank you for your ongoing support.

Very glad that we chose Priory Nursery as our son absolutely loves going there. He cannot wait in the mornings and days that he is home he keeps asking to go to nursery. I'd love to have him be there full time, but unfortunately funds are tight especially when on maternity. He has progressed so well in his speech and abilities to do daily things himself (putting shoes on, getting dressed etc.) I couldn't be more proud of him and that's all thanks to the lovely staff. Cannot wait for his little sister to start and enjoy it

We have been sending our children to this nursery since 2020, starting with our eldest, and we couldn't be happier with the care they've received. The positive experience with our first child led us to send our two younger children there as well. The staff are absolutely brilliant, offering incredible support to children, parents and each other. There's a real family like atmosphere. From helping tiny little ones settle during those tricky first few weeks of separation, to helping toddlers develop independence and new skills, the nursery staff are warm, kind and proactive. Our kids love all the activities, stories, songs and outdoor play. We also couldn't recommend a better preschool. The staff are wonderful and their dedication to creating a safe, caring and loving environment has been invaluable in preparing our little ones for school, all while ensuring they have plenty of fun along the way. We would absolutely recommend this nursery and preschool.

The nursery is absolutely amazing with our daughter. She has such a fun time and she loves to be there. They are very good at keeping us informed about her day, her development has come on so much being there. All the staff are so lovely and I feel very comfortable leaving her there.

Nursery with a homely feel and friendly staff. Our son started going to The Priory Day Nursery about 6 months ago. He really enjoys the outside space and all the various creative activities and messy play staff do with the children. Caring and friendly staff, who all know him, no matter which room they work in. We especially appreciate how nursery accommodates his food allergy and he loves the food that is cooked.

Both of my children have attended The Priory Nursery, including during COVID where I had to drop my little one at the door. The staff in all of the rooms have been amazing and always make me feel at ease. There is a very friendly atmosphere and all staff take the time to get to know the children really well. Both of my children have loved attending and have made lots of friends.

The team provide a warm, welcoming and family friendly setting for our children. Activities such as circle time have had a noticeable effect on our children's interest in stories, expressing themselves and expanding their vocabulary. Regular trips to the library have opened up a whole new world for them to explore. A strong culture of helping children learn and develop through expressive play is apparent at all stages. A first-rate team.

Absolutely fantastic nursery and highly recommended. My son started in April in the 2s room and he loves going each week. My daughter is due to start in the new year and I am confident that she will be looked after well. The staff are lovely, caring and friendly. Three staff members in particular are fantastic with my son, as are all the staff in the nursery. The manager is great also, she has been great sorting out the hours, always present and friendly. The nursery is really great on flexible hours which was key for us. They are always outdoors all year round which my son loves and have different activities each day. They serve lovely food to the children in a family environment. The billing system is well set up and the app is great where they add pictures of your children each week and what they have eaten, nappy changes etc.

I have had a great experience with this nursery, always supportive and my daughter loves all the staff, would highly recommend to other parents. We are first-time parents and the experience we have had was amazing and made us feel relaxed and that our child was in great hands.

My son has been going to The Priory Day Nursery since July 2023. It is a lovely nursery with a very homely feel and a great outdoor space. The staff are wonderful, really friendly and caring. My son loves going in every day and all staff greet him so warmly in the mornings, the food, activities, trips are also all amazing. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough, we will both be sad when he moves up to primary school next September.

Fantastic nursery, very caring and friendly group of staff who make a real effort to get to know your child and give them the freedom to play, grow and learn. Both our kids love being there and love the staff.

Both my children have been going to The Priory Day Nursery since they were 9 months or so. It is a wonderful nursery and they are both very happy there. I love the fact that all the staff know who they are, regardless of which room they are in and that everyone is so helpful, friendly and professional. I also appreciate how they maximise outdoors time each day, and all the fun and inventive activities they do with the children. The flexible hours they offer have also been so helpful. My son is about to start school in September and his time in preschool has definitely prepared him well.

Absolutely the best nursery. Flexible hours, the staff are super friendly, and my child adores them. I always feel confident that my child is safe and well looked after, and she always has fun and a full tum. Would definitely recommend it.

Both my children have been at the Priory Day nursery and had wonderful experiences. The staff are so caring and the range of activities that they do is fantastic. They love the food and have tried far more than they do at home! They have made some lovely friends at nursery and as a result, my son has started school with confidence. They are wonderful and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a nursery.
13 June 2022
I could not ask for a better place for my child! Have just signed my second one up. The fact that they are almost full for next year speaks volumes. All the staff know my daughter and are so friendly. Really good handovers and the support is amazing. Such a lovely environment and ethos! Most importantly, my daughter always comes home so happy and excited about what she’s done.

The staff are all brilliant and very caring, fantastic outdoor space, great facilities inside. Offer regular themed activities for Christmas/Easter etc. Both my girls love going to nursery/pre-school. I would thoroughly recommend this nursery.

We were with the nursery for years, my son was on the autism assessment pathway and was receiving great help from staff. The management are awful and frankly intimidating. They dealt with my family in an awful manner, they terminated the contract with no appropriate reason or evidence behind their reasoning and with no notice. They showed no care or compassion despite knowing the child’s needs and struggles with change as well as knowing the family situation - they actively caused stress to all involved that has been ongoing. Very very poor management.
