Both of our boys have attended this nursery - Nicholas for the past two years and now Thomas - and we couldn't be happier. The staff are caring, supportive, and genuinely dedicated to the children's development. It's been wonderful to see both of them grow in confidence and happiness here. We highly recommend this nursery to any family.

The staff here have been amazing with my daughter especially as she has severe allergies. They have put in place allergy safe facilities and made everyone aware. They have documents to support this and are very thorough in this process. They have made my daughter and us at home feel very at ease and safe. My daughter was/is very nervous about new people and places and they adapted to her and her interests perfectly and now she absolutely loves going and looks forward to all of the activities! I can't thank the staff enough for everything they do.

My sons have been attending the clubs at S4YC St Mary's since it opened and both thoroughly enjoy their time there, the staff go above and beyond to make sure my children are safe and happy and I couldn't praise them enough, they are like a second family.

Amazing, friendly staff. Very approachable. My daughter loves attending breakfast and the after-school club. She never wants to come home when I arrive to collect her. She also loves the clubs during the holidays. I hope the clubs remain a feature during the school holidays as they are a lifesaver.

My little one started preschool here last year, I couldn't have picked a better nursery for him. The staff are lovely and will go above and beyond for the kids. He loves going to nursery and has come on leaps and bounds since starting. Couldn't thank the staff enough they're amazing.

The staff are always friendly and welcoming. They always have time to speak with you about your child. The staff are always trying to think of new play ideas/areas to keep the nursery interesting and to keep the children engaged in activities and keep them stimulated. My child enjoys going to nursery at St Mary's S4YC.

My little boy has just started here and he's settled in so quickly and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. He's settled in so well that he cries when it's time to come home. Thank you to all the staff for making this process so easy for us all.

My daughter has been attending St Mary's since she turned 2-she is now almost 4! When she first started she was a very shy and quiet little girl who also found it very difficult to develop new friendships. She suffered separation anxiety however the nursery where very understanding and allowed me to sit in with her until she felt comfortable. Now my daughter has formed the best friendships with not only the children but with the staff too. My daughter has a disability and the staff have gone above and beyond to accommodate her and make her feel so comfortable. She has come on leaps and bounds thanks to these amazing ladies.

My daughter has recently started attending St Marys and she always looks forward to going into nursery. The staff are all lovely, welcoming and really interactive with the children. The indoor and outdoor space is lovely and she especially loves the forest area. We get picture updates and the security of the building is very strict which is really important to me as a parent. We can't recommend St Marys enough.

The best nursery ever! The girls are so hands-on with the children, so kind and caring with them to the point my little boy tells them he loves them, nothing is ever an issue with the girls either they accommodate each child, they mean the world to us and my son would be lost without them.

Best nursery by far made my daughter’s first time at a nursery setting amazing and shared the moment with us too we love the photo updates. she enjoys going to nursery so much that she’s always asking to go to nursery on her days off as she only part-time at the moment. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff you are very much appreciated.

Fantastic staff and well ran nursery. My son has adapted to nursery life without any problems and I believe it’s all down to the warm and welcoming vibes coming from the staff. The staff always give a thorough handover of my child’s time within the nursery. I highly recommend. Thank you.

Couldn’t ask for a better nursery for my daughter. The girls are lovely and so supportive, always coming up with great activities for the children and we are kept up to date daily. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and has made some great friends and her learning has come on brilliantly since starting. So happy with the nursery and will also be sending my son when it’s time.

When my son first started attending St Mary’s Nursery it was a massive step for us as parents, as well for himself as he was a Covid baby and had never been around other children or so many different adults without having mum or dad with him. He settled in quickly and the staff gave us regular updates of messages and pictures to reassure us each day. This nursery is such a lovely place with such a kind approach to children. I love the supportive ethos and the focus on play and confidence and social development throughout. The staff have been so supportive in regards to our son having a speech delay, but with the help and guidance from them we now have him on the correct pathway. Each child is assigned a key worker, however, they all do a fantastic job regardless.

My child really enjoys coming to the nursery and loves the staff so much. Since starting nursery my child has developed some lovely friendships and her confidence has come on in leaps and bounds. The children seem to get along well and are a close-knit group. The activities are always fun and exciting and lots of different events and holidays are celebrated. Any minor issues that have arisen have been dealt with quickly and professionally.

This is an amazing nursery with lovely staff. The girls are brilliant with the children, they have helped my daughter come on so well since she started at St Mary’s. She has become much more confident and she’s always excited to go to nursery each day. There are always things for the children to look forward to as they have different events on throughout each month which my daughter loves. I would highly recommend St Mary’s for anybody looking for the perfect nursery for their child.

Both of my children have been attending St Mary's for the last 12 months and I cannot praise the staff here enough. All the staff have brilliant relationships with all of the parents and children. All children have their own key person but all members of staff take the time to form bonds and get to know every child extremely well. The end-of-session reports are fantastic, it's great to hear about the things they have enjoyed and done well. My children have attended other settings previously but they will be staying at St Mary's as they enjoy it there more than anywhere else and get so excited to attend their sessions. They particularly look forward to playing in the outside area which is set up brilliantly with lots of different play options. The big slide is a firm favourite. My children have come on in leaps and bounds since starting there. I would absolutely recommend St Mary's to anyone looking for a setting for their children.

Cannot fault the staff here, my son attends wrap-around care for when I'm working etc. He adores all staff members and cannot help out enough when he attends. He even had a chat with one about a scouts group she belongs to and now attends this weekly and loves it.

Amazing nursery with incredible staff. They are all very supportive, understanding ladies and have been wonderful with my son and all the other children at the setting. I’m very pleased my son had the opportunity too be part of this great group and will be said too see him leave this nursery next year. Thank you girls.

Amazing nursery with brilliant staff who are so good with the kids and will go above and beyond for them. I definitely recommend this nursery, the layout is great and my child is so happy to just walk in when at first he was not so keen on it.
