Our little boy started at the Ark in September 2025 at 11 months old and we all could not love it more. Of course, we had the usual upset for at drop off for the first couple of weeks as all kids go through, but we now have to chase him around the room to leave. All of the staff have been fantastic
with communicating with us, and seeing daily photos of him so happy and beaming makes our day. They have such a huge range of activities and we love how much time they spend outdoors now the weather is warmer. He's also developed so much since attending The Ark and his confidence has soared. Couldn't be happier with our decision to send him here!

Our daughter started at this nursery three months ago, and we couldn't be happier with our experience so far. The staff are incredibly friendly, warm, and caring, and they've made such a wonderful effort to help our baby feel comfortable and secure.
They've built a lovely bond with her-she
genuinely enjoys going in each morning and happily reaches out for them when we arrive, which is so reassuring as a parent.
There are always plenty of engaging activities and lovely toys to keep the babies entertained and stimulated. The facilities are clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up for little ones.
The team are always approachable and take the time to listen, which makes communication easy and reassuring. We also really appreciate the varied and balanced food menu they provide.
Overall, it's a nurturing and supportive environment, and we feel very confident leaving our daughter in their care.

My son began his nursery journey with the Ark in September 2025. At that point, he had not spent more than a couple of hours away from me so it was a really big deal for us. The senior member of staff in the baby room was considerate of this, and arranged with me, for him to have a few settling in
sessions prior to starting full days to help ease the transition. He struggled on the handover for some time and still sometimes now, however, as soon as I am out of sight, he settles with his care staff who provide me with pictures and messages of reassurance.
Each day that we go in, there are toys and activities laid out which you can see have been well planned and thought out to ensure that it is both fun and educational for the children. The equipment is also great, my son really enjoys the slide and the ball pit. He also loves to go outside and I can see that he really enjoys the outside activities that are also provided there.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery for four months now and we couldn't be happier with our choice to send her here. The settling in sessions were great and made us feel very comfortable sending her in. All of the staff are great, especially her key worker, Ben. All of the staff are always
happy to tell us about her day at pick up and the activities always sound great. I wouldn't hesitate recommending to anyone looking for a nursery.

Our little boy started at The Ark in April 2025 in the toddler room and has since moved up to Kindergarten. We have been so impressed with the facilities at The Ark. The setting is gorgeous and we love that the kids have access to a forest school type setting too and spend a lot of time outdoors.
The activities that they do are varied and our son always has so much fun. Meals are great and varied. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Really impressed with The Ark and very glad we made the decision to send our son here!

My daughter has been going to the Ark since she was 9 months old and has been through each room at the Ark.
The Ark truly feels like a home from home. From the moment you walk in, the staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited to see the children - they know every child by name, which makes
such a difference.
The transition between rooms has been handled wonderfully, making it smooth and reassuring for both children and parents. The team really support the children in hitting milestones in such a fun and playful way, and it's clear how much thought and care they put into every stage of learning.
What I love most is the balance between indoor and outdoor activities - learning and play happen in both spaces, and the emphasis on outdoor play has been fantastic for my child's development and enjoyment.
I couldn't recommend The Ark enough for anyone looking for a nurturing, supportive, and joyful nursery experience.

We are so happy with the people working with our daughter at Ark, our girl loves going and talks about lots of staff and friends, she is so happy. Her confidence grows every day, she is becoming more sociable, she comes back having learnt something new every other day and she is constantly being
positively encouraged to achieve essential milestones for a girl of her age. The environment they create is ideal. I have nothing but gratitude, positivity and great things to say about all Staff members. If I ever have another child, it's a no brainer - straight to the Ark we go!

My daughter has been attending The Ark for nearly 2 years now. She has flourished during her time here and has made some wonderful friendships.
The pre-school provision is marvellous and really helps children to develop all the skills needed to help them succeed when they go to school.
The staff
are very supportive and we love seeing the observations on the app during the day.

We have been parents of children at The Ark for nearly 5 years now and it has been wonderful; the facilities are great, the staff are fabulous and the amazing experiences our children have had are ones we know will stay with them forever. We are eternally grateful!

I absolutely love the Ark, it's a fantastic nursery. The staff are amazing and take great care of my child. I always leave him knowing that his needs are met and that he's well cared for. He really enjoys coming to nursery and playing with his friends. The space both indoor and outdoor is fantastic
and the staff set up different activities each day to support development. The management are well organised and act on parent feedback. The food at the Ark is great and varied. I cannot fault the Ark at all.

My son loves The Ark, he gets so much out of it and he has come along so much since starting. He loves the staff and the outdoor space. The care is fantastic. He looks forward to Monday morning with his friends.

I’m really pleased with my child’s care at The Ark. All the children seem friendly and relaxed. My child is always calm and happy at the end of the day and very chatty. The staff are really caring and my child has a really strong relationship with their key worker. The staff are all friendly and
cheerful, and the space is always clean, and organised! The children get lots of outdoor play and developmentally I have seen my child flourish here in his speech, motor and fine skills. The meals are always enjoyed by my child. I also love the flexibility in that I can drop off and pick up my child at any time. The only draw back of this is that when paying for a full 10 hours a day we really only use 8 hours (9-5 not 8-6). The staff show genuine concern for my child if they have been ill, or they think something might need to be looked into further which I appreciate. I think the staff go the extra mile here!
