Our daughter has been at Sycamore for nearly three years and has flourished. They have always been generous with their time when we've needed support and guidance and are only too happy to recommend to others.
The staff have been brilliant keeping us updated with how she is getting on. 121's when
we needed them as well as supported us when required them to complete paperwork and extra discussions around our daughter's changing needs.
It is always immaculate (somehow!) and the activities are varied with plenty of fresh air for them to run around in. They all do a wonderful job.

When my child started at Sycamore House nursery in January at only 4 months old my husband and I were very nervous to leave him as he hadn't been without us before, however within days our nerves were completely alleviated. Our child immediately bonded with the team and the other kids. The team are
so caring and kind. They have all worked at the nursery for a long time and you can tell. They really support each other, put the needs of the kids first and they know each of the kids extremely well and align/adapt their approach to that childs needs. The group sizes are very small, and they focus on nurturing the kids. Our child has developed so much since they first started, it's incredible to see. Our child absolutely loves attending the nursery, which can be seen from his big smiles. We are so grateful for Sycamore House and how well they care for our child. We strongly recommend them - it's like home from home.

The whole team at Sycamore house take great care in ensuring our child is well supported and looked after. Recently they have successfully aided them in toilet training and gone above and beyond to ensure they feel individually celebrated and give a personal touch.
Thank you, in particular, to
Kerry for overseeing the support received and the acorns team who welcome them with a smile every morning.

We are absolutely thrilled with this nursery. Our little one has settled in so well and loves all the staff. The staff are great and are so caring and excellent at keeping you updated on what the children do each day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sycamore House to a friend.

Sycamore is a Fabulous nursery with the most caring staff. Our eldest moved nursery when he was 2- his transition was seamless and he settled so quickly. Our youngest has just started and he's already so excited at each drop off. The staff love what they do and it shines through. We feel very lucky.

We love Sycamore House, my little girl has been going since she was 10months and it's been the best thing for her. The staff are lovely and treat each child as an individual and pour love into each day! The dedication and support we have received has been nothing short of outstanding. Good
communication and fantastic experience all round!

Our daughter has attended Sycamore House from the age of 10 months and she loves the time she spends there. The staff are supportive, kind, and gentle and have genuine affection for the children in their care. The toys and range of activities have given our daughter lots of opportunities to explore
and develop in a fun and safe environment. I would, and do, recommend Sycamore House to anyone thinking about a nursery.

I am extremely pleased with the care my son has received at this nursery. When he started in June, the staff made him feel so welcome and eased him in slowly. They provided me with lots of feedback on how he was getting on in the early days, which made me feel at ease. During his first few weeks,
they would even call me to let me know he was happy and playing if he was upset when I left. The environment feels very warm and welcoming, and I truly appreciate all the staff who look after my little boy so well.

Sycamore House has been an amazing place for my son to learn and grow. The carers are very nurturing and put a lot of effort into the learning experiences. We were very happy with our experience with all the staff, and would highly recommend this nursery.

Sycamore House has been a fantastic, caring and supportive Nursery for both of my children in their early years. The staff are very kind and supportive, and are always looking for opportunities to help the children grow and develop. There is a great range of activities and equipment for the children
to play with, and I really like their approach to learning. My little ones always left with a big smile on their face, and full of great stories about their day, their peers and the staff. The staff management are always friendly, approachable and there is good communication. I would recommend this Nursery wholeheartedly, and we will miss everyone there when we move on this year.
10 September 2024
Both of our children attended Sycamore House for a couple of years, and have thoroughly enjoyed their time there. The staff are so friendly, really helpful and supportive and we couldn't have wished for a better team to look after our children. They have enjoyed many different experiences, seen and
participated in different activities and are always smiling when we come to pick them up. They also sleep extremely well on a nursey night - another good sign of happiness and active lives! We are sad to leave, and will really miss the team, but do so knowing they both made some great friends, and had a great time whilst with the Sycamore team.

Sycamore House has been a fantastic nursery for both our children. Our eldest has developed so much since starting in the seedlings (baby) room to her leaving for preschool. She's loved everything about the nursery especially the staff who are great. Everyone has always been so helpful and
communication has always been great and helpful.

Just a wonderful nursery. My youngest two have both used Sycamore House. They both settled really well, clearly had a great time and it is obvious that staff really care about the children. My son has now left and the staff still call him by his name and ask him how he is when he does pop in. My
youngest has a great time. She comes home most days covered in the days activities, happy and full of beans. She loves all the messy play and the gentle approach to learning and development has worked well with both of mine. Parents are really involved in the monthly development plans and regular meetings with the staff member assigned to your child. Overall really happy.

Both my children have attended Partou Sycamore and I could not speak highly enough of this place as a nursery for my children to attend. Since my return to work, which is naturally a nervous time, I have felt so safe in the knowledge that my children are in great hands whilst I am not with them. Not
only are they safe, but they are learning so many skills whilst they are there. Just love this nursery.

My daughter is 3 years old and has attended Partou Sycamore House Day Nursery & Pre-school since she was 1. I have always been so impressed with how much she has learnt after each day at nursery. She is happy and very well looked after. The staff are amazing and friendly and knowledgeable. I would
recommend Partou Sycamore House Day Nursery & Pre-school to anyone.

Our daughter has been attending Sycamore House since she was 10 months old and I cannot thank the staff enough for the care and love they have shown her since she started. She has learnt so much in 5 months she has been attending and surprises us every day with something new she has learnt from
Sycamore. She has a great relationship with the staff and is so happy to be dropped off and spend the day there. The support the nursery has shown us since my return to work has been amazing and we couldn't do it without them!

Our daughter has been with Sycamore since she was in the toddler room. She’s very quiet but has grown in confidence with the kindness and encouragement of her key workers and all the practitioners. She has also been supported very well with her nappy training, and it has been so impressive the
patience shown by the staff after toileting accidents. Practitioners seem well managed and supported which explains the family atmosphere and the safe and cosy feel. She has so much fun each day, the garden is lovely and interesting and all the activities are thoughtful and frequently rotated. She’s always talking about her practitioners and friends and singing the songs she’s learnt, she will really miss everyone when she goes off to school, as will we.

Such a perfect and homely nursery setting and the staff are just brilliant. They are so caring and the communication on routines etc was so straightforward. Felt so at ease dropping my daughter off for the day knowing she was going to be looked after and cared for by such a wonderful team. You will
all be missed!
