Both of my children started the nursery at different stages-my son just before he turned three and my daughter when she was nine months old-and they have both had a wonderful experience. The staff are incredibly welcoming and have built lovely relationships with my children. My son made so much
progress during his time at the nursery, and it really helped prepare him for starting Reception. My daughter also thoroughly enjoys her time there and loves the activities she takes part in. She often talks about the staff by name, which shows the strong and caring relationships she has built with them. Since attending, she has grown so much in confidence and independence, and it has been lovely to see her thrive.

Staff are soo kind and supportive and both my girls have learnt soo much and are coming out with soo many new words and there development is coming on soo good . Thank you to all the staff that work there

Ashby Day Nursery have been wonderful for our child. Her development continues to be great and she comes home singing songs she's learned and telling us about her friends. The atmosphere is so calm and the kids are all encouraged to be kind to each other. The menu is varied, so we feel like she gets
to try lots of foods. Gave 4 not 5 stars because I would rather still get meals listed in the app, which they stop at toddler 2. But that's not a huge deal, they still tell you what they ate during the handover.

My child has been at the nursery since May 2025 and I've honestly never had to worry about them being there, the staff are incredible, the nursery itself is amazing and so well organised and the staff are so professional but also so caring to the children. I'd recommend it to anyone

My daughter is 10 months old and I was so nervous about going back to work and her being in a nursury. But they have been amazing with her, they send photos, and regularly update the app. If you have any issues they quickly resolve them. They are a great team and my daughter loves nursury. She goes
in smiling and comes out laughing.

My son has attended this nursery since he was 6 months old. And is moving up to the toddler rooms soon. The staff in baby room 1&2 are great and he is very happy there. Lots of different activities for them to do. App is kept up to date and handovers at the end of the day tell me everything I
need to know. Also until 6pm is included in their standard day price so this makes pick ups easier when things don't go to plan and alot of nurseries charge extra for this last 30 mins.

I highly recommend this nursery, It has a brilliant team who do a great job of engaging with my son and always leave updates showing how he's getting on in the day and how his performance with learning and growing is improving, Cheers.

I honestly can't recommend this nursery highly enough! My son started in March 2025 and we haven't had a single issue. He is absolutely thriving, constantly learning new things and it's clear how much he enjoys being there with all the wonderful staff.
Every team member is amazing: loving, caring,
and genuinely dedicated. I feel completely at ease leaving him in their care each day. I was so nervous about starting a new job and putting my first baby into nursery, but they reassured me from the very first settling-in session. It was such a relief to know he was happy and safe, which made returning to work so much easier.
Communication has always been excellent, and the nursery is run to an exceptional standard. You've created such a safe, supportive environment, and I can't thank you enough for the outstanding care you provide. Keep up the fantastic work!

Outstanding care at Ashby day nursery. Our son has boundless energy, and the entire team provides the focused attention he thrives on, ensuring he feels special every day. The office manager is also a pleasure to work with, always available to seamlessly handle our funding and extra care
requirements. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

I could not recommend Ashby Nursery School enough to anyone looking for the best early years education for their child. From the moment of settling, staff have been so hands on and catered to all my child's needs. They are so friendly and welcoming, and nothing is ever too much for them. My child
has developed massively since coming to the nursery. She is always so happy to go in the mornings and loves being there. Management are amazing help, the office manager spoke to me through my funding, and the manager helped me with all my queries, responding fast and no issue was too much.

Amazing nursery/ pre school our son has thrived massively since starting full time last year. Massive support from the office team for helping us figure out funding for when I start maternity leave next year, they have helped massively with showing us the different information when it comes to
changing his days and funding.
Couldn't recommend them enough!

Ashby pre school academy is amazing!! My son loves it there, he has developed so many friendships since starting in August and is always talking about school. The staff are amazing, they know him so well - it really does feel like they are part of the family. Nothing is ever too much trouble and
they always have time to discuss how he is developing. The management team are incredible, very helpful and were so reassuring when I was nervous about leaving my son. Parent partnership is just on another level! My son recently took part in singing for the Christmas lights switch on and has also taken part in a nativity play, it was the most joyous thing to watch and the whole family loved it! Would recommend the pre school to anyone looking for a setting for their child.

We recently moved to the area and our son started in the toddler room. Before we even arrived the nursery supported us with extra settling sessions due to a delay in moving and were flexible on when he'd actually start. They couldn't have done more to be welcoming and he flourished from the moment
he started.
He has transitioned into the preschool academy within a few months of moving and our experience has been nothing short of brilliant. All the staff are so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It is clear from the nursery management that they take training of their staff seriously and include them in how the curriculum is developed.
Another point to make is how well prepared they are for any dietary requirements. There is always something similar that he has so he doesn't feel left out.
My son chats about his friends from nursery and the staff even at the weekends. It's clear he loves his time there. One of the best decisions we made was moving to Ashby, and Ashby Day Nursery.
15 September 2025
We couldn't be happier with the care and support our daughter has received at Ashby Day Nursery. From the very beginning, we were impressed by the number of settling-in sessions offered before she officially started. These sessions really helped her feel confident and comfortable.
The nursery
itself is always clean and tidy and the staff of the staff are welcoming, friendly and approachable and will go out of their way to help. They know our daughter so well and are genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development.
Communication is also outstanding - we receive regular updates and information that keep us well-informed of what's happening. We also recently attended an open evening for the preschool. It gave us all the information we needed and further reassured us that we have chosen an excellent place for our daughter. She is so happy here.
We're so grateful to have found such a supportive and high-quality setting for our daughter. Thank you to all staff.

Love this preschool! We moved our daughter to Ashby Day in May 2025, following a series of issues at the nursery we initially sent her to. The manager and the team couldn't have been more welcoming, and supported our daughter (and us) with her transition to preschool and have helped undo some of the
damage from nursery. It's a work in progress, and given the great communication we have with the manager and the whole team, as well as their focus on my daughter, I'm comfortable that my daughter's development and happiness is going in the right direction.

My child thoroughly loves his time at Ashby Preschool. He is able to explore, play and have fun with his friends in a great environment. He's developed so much and the staff engage with him in great ways.

Absolutely fantastic nursery cannot praise the staff enough. We moved to the area and my child began at the nursery the staff were so inclusive friendly and welcoming to not just my child but me and his sibling too, the provisions activities and care are second to none and there is nowhere else I'd
send any future children I might have. Thankyou all so much

Our toddler has recently started at Ashby Day Nursery and my husband and I are over the moon with the amazing care from the staff! He has been so well looked after right from his first settling in session. He now says 'bye bye Mummy' so happily when I drop him off and his speech and communication
has come on massively since starting. There's a great variety of toys and activities available inside and outside. Communication from Nursery is incredible too with any reminders on the app and we really like having the opportunity to chat with staff before and after dropping him off. Staff are so friendly and approachable. We love seeing photographs too on the app, they really make us smile. Thank you to the managers and staff at this fantastic Nursery, we're so pleased our son has joined :-)
