What a lovely nursery! I know my daughter is in safe hands here. All the staff genuinely care so much for the children, my daughter loves all the staff in the baby room. Her development since going to hurly burly is amazing. Every week she has learnt something new. This is totally down to them,
every week she has done something different, the activities are amazing too. She has been given endless opportunities. I am forever grateful.

We have now our second child at Hurly Burly nursery and we are very happy in our decision that we have chose them again. We are a bilingual family and the nursery supported both of my children to develop their English while they were/are attending there. My son loves going to this nursery and it
makes all the difference at the start of the day that we know he feels emotionally safe and comfortable there. He has built up a strong bond with the staff there. They are going out to the garden in every weather and have a lot of fun being messy and creative.

Our daughter loves going to Hurly Burly. She walks in happily each morning, pleased to see the members of staff in her room. She loves the routine and her development is coming on leaps and bounds. The communication is great between myself and the nursery and I feel confident in the knowledge that
they will inform me if there are any problems.

The whole Team are incredible - our dear Boy waves me off every time and is so happy when I collect him. The team really do care about his well-being, adapt from home routines and mention anything when something isn't quite right with him. I can't thank the whole Team enough for all their hard work
and care.

The staff at Hurley Burly are so professional and friendly, always give updates about my child and their atmosphere and security is brilliant. The place is clean, staff are easily recognisable with uniform too.

Hurly burleys have been amazing- my daughter loves going each day they are so creative with them and the pictures and updates they do about each child is lovely keep doing what you're doing! It's a shame my daughter can't be there forever

I have three children of whom my youngest is now in Hurly Burly pre-school. All three have come through Hurly Burly and many of the same staff are still there from 7+ years ago. Hurly Burly is a truly nutruing setting for young children. The staff are the most wonderful people and build strong bonds
with the children, who in turn also forge their own strong friendships with peers. Charile and Gemma provide superb leadership and direction, and they also know all of the children very well. They, and indeed all the staff, are refreshingly down to Earth and understand the challenges parents face. (Charlie has always been brilliant reassurance to me as a parent. And I trust her wholeheartedly.) Hurly Burly is a very happy place to be with children brilliantly looked after and learning all the time. I could not recommend Hurly Burly more highly - we will be really sad when our littlest goes to school.
5 Stars given on all aspects as this genuinely reflects my view on each.

Lovely caring staff, always helpful with answers to my questions. Daughter loves it within the nursery setting and loves the staff. My daughter has started eating so much better since starting at Hurly Burly and is coming home with new skills all the time.
24 September 2024
Both of my children attended Hurly Burly, my eldest moved up to school last year and my youngest only left in August due to a house move. The team at the nursery are caring and supportive, they always went above and beyond to support our family. I feel both my children thrived in the setting. I
would not hesitate to recommend Hurly Burly.

This nursery has been fantastic for my son. They have supported him with his individual needs and massively helped towards his physical and emotional development.
Everyone is super lovely there and welcoming.
Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My son has been attending Hurly Burly Nursery since April this year and has come on really well, all the staff are friendly and my son loves going. The staff are good at updating me on what my son has been doing and how he has been whilst in their care and I love that they do a daily care diary and
get regular pics and updates on the activities he has been doing.

This nursery is value for money. My child loves attending and on occasions would prefer not to come home at the end of the day.
The staff are always happy to give feedback at pick up at the end of the day but all leave regular updates on the app.
There have been days when my child is cared for by
their grandparent and if this is ever not an option Hurly Burly are always flexible and happy to accept my child (even at last minute).
If I email the manager, I always get a quick and helpful response.

My little girl enjoys attending Hurly Burly, she is only two but has made some friends and on a nursery day tells me who she is going to see. Each day she comes home speaking more. She is very settled and always excited to go. The staff are very welcoming and use the tapestry app which is great for
updates. Would recommend Hurly Burly.
02 April 2024
Both my children have attended this setting (one currently still there) from the age of 6 months, and I cannot thank the staff enough for their support, knowledge and general peace of mind when it comes to the care of my children. Myself and partner both work full time, and when it comes to the
juggles of life, questions, behaviours, is this/that normal, they have put us at ease and I know my children are in a great setting. My eldest, now in Primary, loved it. She's so passionate about the outdoors and I believe this has been due to the great outdoor space that Hurly Burly offers children.

Fabulous nursery. The staff is so lovely and very welcoming. They use an app to update on your child's development and it's very detailed. My daughter started at 2. They quickly noticed her slow speech development and invited us for a meeting to discuss available support for her. They made a SALT
referral and an expert went in regularly to do some activities with her. I was so grateful that my child received so much attention. The opening times are perfect for anyone who works. They cook food in-house and they provide a list of the menu regularly. My son started nursery there at 3 months old. The staff in the baby room is so caring and invited me to breastfeed him anytime he needed it. He is now 3 and he absolutely loves the nursery. Both my children have had amazing experiences and beautiful memories. The nursery has expanded and the facilities and outside spaces are spacious and colourful. I would recommend Hurly Burly to any parents who want their child to learn while having amazing fun.

My daughter has been at the nursery for over a year now and really enjoys it. She loves going and is always really happy when picking her up. She settled really well and had some settle sessions beforehand which were really helpful. All the staff are friendly, welcoming and approachable and are
supportive of your needs and very helpful.
Communication with the nursery is brilliant. Emails are always answered in good time and the use of the app is brilliant, with all the information on what they have had to eat how much they have eaten, to the activities they have done to photos of your child with different activities, Memos on events happening and news and updates.
She regularly comes home with different arts and crafts and bits and pieces they have done. There’s also a brilliant outside space and nature garden, with a range of bikes/equipment which is used every day my daughter is there.
Overall we are very pleased with the nursery, and would highly recommend.

My little boy has settled so well into Hurly Burly and the staff are amazing with him. He had a hard time settling in the beginning but now is happy when I drop him off. I was also very anxious leaving him in the beginning but it’s so reassuring that I know he is well looked after and gets to
interact with children around his age.
02 April 2024
Both my children have absolutely thrived at Hurly Burly. The staff are kind and attentive and make sure the children's days are filled with activities and lots of outdoor time. The staff have been wonderful at catering to my child's extra physical needs and have helped encourage her to integrate
activities into her day that act as physio for her.
Both my children have always been excited to walk through the door and are always happy when I collect them. My oldest is now doing really well in school and I feel she was prepped for this by attending Hurly Burly first. I couldn't have hoped for a better nursery for my kids.
02 April 2024
My son has been coming to Hurly Burly for the last 6 months and has come on leaps and bounds with his development. His speech is brilliant, his independence has been nurtured and he loves his room leaders. He spends the vast majority of his day outside with his friends learning about the world. The
meals, snacks and facilities provided are of an excellent standard and the opening hours fit around our family life. We love this nursery and would recommend it to anyone.
02 April 2024
My son has been coming here since he was 2 years old (now 4). He has always enjoyed his sessions at nursery and gets on well with the staff and other children. The staff are always looking out for the children’s best interests and always communicate brilliantly when any issues arise. I’m now due our
second baby and will definitely be using Hurly Burly again when the time comes.
