Hands down the best nursery we have come across. For us, centre place was more than just a nursery. All the staff were not only extremely professional but treated our daughter with care and affection. They went the extra mile and our daughter had a genuine connection with the team and the other children. We haven't come across another nursery where the staff aren't just doing a day job. Tara and her team were always contactable, any questions they'd respond straight away and our daughter loved it there. We hope to send our newborn there when she is old enough. There isn't anything we could fault the team and facilities on and we know we couldn't find another nursery quite like this one.

We are so incredibly grateful for the amazing care and support our child received at this nursery. From the very beginning, the team made us feel welcome, supported, and reassured. They truly went above and beyond-not only helping our child to grow, learn, and thrive, but also supporting us as parents every step of the way. The staff are kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to the children in their care. They took the time to get to know our child as an individual, nurturing his confidence, independence, and happiness. Every drop-off was met with warm smiles and every pick-up brought stories of what he'd enjoyed and learned that day. We can't thank the nursery enough for all they've done for our family. It's been such a positive experience, and we'll always look back with appreciation and fond memories. Highly, highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and truly caring environment for their little one.

The nursery and the staff there have really helped me through my tuff times working with me and adjusting to help in every way possible, the staff really do go above and beyond and I truly felt at ease leaving my child with them. The communication is great if not at the door I would always recieve updates on the app. I was always met with happy staff which obviously makes a difference overall I really can't fault this nursery at all.

It's a good nursery. My child was very happy there and the staff was friendly. My child was registered there for just over a year. The staff cares about the children and make an effort to build relationship with the parents.

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Centre Place Nursery for our daughter. From the very first day, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and attentive. Our daughter has thrived in this nurturing environment, and we have seen significant growth in her social and cognitive skills. The activities and programs offered are engaging and educational, and the facilities are always clean and well-maintained. The communication from the nursery has been excellent, keeping us informed about our daughter's progress and any upcoming events. We are truly grateful for the positive impact Centre Nursery has had on our daughter's development, and we highly recommend this nursery to other parents. Thank you to the entire team for your dedication and hard work!

My son has additional needs and was always excited about his days here. The staff were amazing with him, really understanding of his needs and helped him massively with his progress and confidence. Staff are always happy and friendly, with good communications. Also get updates on their app about your child's day while they're there which was nice. He has now moved up into school but if Centre Place was still an option, I'd 100% have him back there as he was definitely much happier with these guys, goes to show how much they all did for him whilst he was there and how happy he was. I couldn't have picked a better nursery for him. They are the best! We miss you guys!

My daughter has really enjoyed being at nursery. She used to go in with no problems, running up to the staff and putting her arms up for a cuddle. She has really developed whilst attending, especially with her confidence and independence. The staff and management were always helpful and approachable. I also really appreciated the use of their app and being able to see exactly how my daughter's day had been.

My daughter is so happy at this nursery. Since she’s been there, she’s been such a happy child and well-engaged. I will definitely recommend for others to take their children there. The staff and management are great too. They are always ready to help with any questions I might have. So supportive and helpful in a lot of ways. I am such a happy parent because my daughter is happy at the nursery.

Best nursery ever, all polite and understanding and would definitely recommend to others, my daughter has learnt so much since being here in a couple of months. My daughter never wants to come home, she enjoys it so much.

Since my children have been attending the nursery they have really gained confidence and are developing new skills, their communication skills are improving, in fact, everything has improved since attending this setting. The staff go above and beyond to be helpful and kind and I feel my children will miss this place when it's time to move on to a new setting and so will I. Once again, I would like to praise the staff and management at this setting, professional all the time and so invested in each and every child, it's a beautiful thing to witness. Centre Place Nursery came highly recommended from my health visitor and other families in the area and I'm very happy my children are here, so a massive thank you to all the staff and management.

Great school. After changing my son from another school to this one, my son felt so welcomed. He’s very happy to be at this school. Teachers are very nice and helpful. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within your child – their good behaviours and achievements; and they know the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise, highly recommended.

Both my children came here after having to take them out of their old nursery. They started two months before the summer holidays, they immediately loved the place and all the staff are absolutely amazing and so welcoming. My children have come so far in such a little space of time and I couldn't recommend this nursery more! The best nursery in town! Thank you all for showing so much kindness, love and support to my children. This isn't just a nursery to my children, this is their extended family. None of my children has ever had any issues and the staff communication with the parents is so easy and comfortable. My third child will definitely be joining the Centre Place Nursery family in September and I am so excited for him.

Great nursery. The staff in the baby room are brilliant with my little girl, she has progressed so much after starting at seven months old, they have lots of different activities to do and a great outdoor area, the cleanliness is brilliant too. They constantly communicate with me and I love the app, I can see everything she has done that day and eaten and even her nappies.

My daughter has been here since September 2021 and has thrived so much since being here. They have amazing staff and a good understanding of your child’s needs. Work with the family and support them. Recommend this nursery so much, I’m glad I put my daughter there.

My granddaughter loves going to nursery at Centre Place Nursery, recently she was diagnosed as autistic and the care they give my sensory seeker is outstanding. The handovers are easy as she is so excited to be there. They have things in place to deal with her special needs and work with me and the speech therapist on what we are doing at any one time. I am so grateful to them all for the care they have for her.

My 2-year-old son has learned a lot here. He has become confident in exploring and communicating. All the staff are super nice, the senior practitioner, nursery practitioner and deputy manager have been wonderful to my toddler. They not only look after my son but also provides ongoing advice on various matters which was very helpful for me as a first-time mother. They also have a lovely garden, my son loves playing outdoors. I can't recommend them enough for their genuine love for children, their affection and their sincerity.
17 August 2022
Both of my children currently attend this nursery and have since they were both under 1 year old. The staff are absolutely incredible and my children love coming here. The communication between staff and parents is fantastic, be it via phone, face to face or on the app. There is such a family feel and they treat each and every child as if they were their own. The facilities in the nursery are amazing. The garden is huge and has lots of equipment and activities set up for them to play with and inside there are reading nooks, sensory areas and lots of imaginative play. I honestly cannot fault this nursery and would recommend it to anyone who wants their children to go somewhere safe, fun and inclusive.

Great employees, very loving, good organizer. I 100% recommend the Centre Place Nursery to any mother who is unsure about their choice of nursery. My son loved visiting the nursery every day. Center Place also has its own app, in which you are always up to date.

My daughter loves her nursery and teachers. She is singing songs, counting and knows the letters. She always comes back happy from nursery and always goes to nursery with pleasure and a big smile. Staff are very friendly and helpful, always trying to find a solution if you are in trouble with money or any other life problems. We will miss our nursery when she goes to school.
