“KELLY IS AMAZINGGG!!! I had such a great experience with her. She is very friendly, professional and always went out of her way to help. she made everything really easy and stress-free. Never failed to put a smile on my face with her positive attitude, encouragement, and enthusiasm. You can tell she genuinely cares about providing a great service. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone.”

“Absolutely amazing place, which is perfect for the kids that come on Saturday as it has loads of room and a sports hall. Great time coming here every weekend!!!”

“My children absolutely loved it here and that staff have been amazing! The change of confidence has been amazing they would still be going to footie bugs if we wasnt moving to a new area! Thanks so much Brad and Team! Just want to give a special mention to Paige who runs the girls group my daugher has come on massively since joining Paiges group!”

“First time going to Train Time this morning. Highly recommend!! Lots of space for kids to play trains and of course the adults to join in too. Plenty of seating around the sides to rest too. Very safe environment and will definitely be booking again!”

“Went to an 80's night recently , first time we've been to Brierley Hill civic hall. It was absolutely brilliant. Big dancefloor, great crowd of people, staff all friendly and helpful, and toilets absolutely spotless - unlike some other places we've visited that made you want to wipe your feet on the way out. They had an really good live band and a disco afterwards, we we're dancing all night. Looking forward to going again!”

“My 5 year old specifically requested Toni for her birthday party after really enjoying one of Toni's adventures at a friend's party. We had a different theme, and it was lovely to see the kids running around the garden, so engaged and using their imaginations. Toni provided a craft activity and fun mix of games. Everyone had a really great time. Would definitely recommend!”

“A really friendly and caring nursery where my little one seems to really enjoy going. Her key worker Lucy is fantastic and has really taken the time to get to know my little one really well and build a really good relationship, which has been lovely to see!”

“As a parent finding the right nursery for your child is one of the most stressful things ever. Having a bad experience previously at a different nursery with my eldest two children,I was very apprehensive. After visiting over 10 nurseries a friend recommended Billesley Ark Preschool. I hesitated at first thinking its quite far but gave it a go. After visiting the nursery it ticked most of the boxes that I had in mind. I decided to give it a go. What really impressed me was the settling in sessions and how the staff made it an easy transition. I was very nervous as my child had become very clingly to me and would not let me out of his sight for even a minute. The lovely staff made him feel so comfortable that he enjoyed it. They sent me updates to reassure me.They immediately realised what he activities and toys he enjoyed and made sure that it was available for him. I was amazed at how well he settled in and enjoyed nursery. He looks forward to his nursery sessions everyday and has never refused to go. He always comes home with a smile on his face and happily tells me what he got upto. The communication from the nursery is excellent. I also love that children can bring their own food that they enjoy and are used to. Most nurseries do not allow food from home which can be fustrating for fussy eaters. They provide lots of healthy fruit and even offer breakfast to children which is very generous of them. The staff show alot of love and care for children. I also love that they take the children outside daily to get some fresh air and play. The nursery also has its own minibus that the children have access to. The staff always have well planned activities set out for children to recognise all faiths and events happening such as Chinese New Year, Easter, Eid, Ramadan, mother's day etc. The only regret I have is not sending him here earlier. I would definitely recommend this nursery to every parent. I cannot fault this nursery at all and I am sad that my son's journery with this nursery is coming to an end.”

“I’ve always been thoroughly impressed with Santos Day Nursery as it has always been one of the most welcoming and inviting day nursery through my experience. The staff at Santos always makes sure your child is engaged in the best, fun and creative activities throughout their day including exceptional educational and exploratory play activities. Here the staff takes great pride in making sure your child is well settled and is comfortable from day one with everyone which goes to show their dedication towards the child’s learning. Amy, being the owner, along with the staff always show great passion and enthusiasm towards children’s care and learning during their time at the Nursery. The outdoor area of this Nursery is a particular highlight from my experience, as it offers great space for little ones to run around and play to explore. It’s a highly organised and impressive setting with robust safety measures and good health protocols in place for your child’s health and safety. I highly recommend for you to send your child at this local nursery.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my child receives at this nursery. The staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and cooperative, making both children and parents feel completely at ease. One of the things I really appreciate is the timely updates through the nursery app—we receive regular notifications throughout the day, including photos, activities, meals, and naps. It’s so reassuring to know what my child is doing and how they’re settling. What truly stands out is the detailed documentation of developmental milestones. Every day, the staff record observations and progress notes, which are shared with us clearly. It’s wonderful to see how my child is growing and learning within a structured, caring environment. The nursery goes above and beyond, and I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a supportive, nurturing, and well-organised early years setting.”

“RUOE is a fantastic club with fantastic staff, they have changed myself and my son’s whole perspective and experience in childcare. They have always taken the time to understand and know his SEN needs on a personal level, and he loves going.”

“My son loves this nursery he loves all the staff and has so much fun every day as there is something different every day loads of messy time and activitys he has come on so well with his learning and speaking since attending I will be sad to see him leave next September as its brilliant there highly recommend this nursery”

“Amazing nursery, with a great team behind it. My little boy loved it here he was there for 3 & half years where developed so much with thier support. Team always so friendly at the door and communicated great, and issues were dealt with quickly couldn’t recommend anymore!”

“My son has been attending this nursery since April and this has been a fantastic experience for him. He's very fond of his teachers and that shows how much attention they provided him. I would recommend this school to anyone who's looking for nursery.”

“Fantastic nursery. Friendly, polite and enthusiastic staff. My niece loved it here and the staff were so good with her when she struggled to settle. The staff within the nursery helped my niece progress massively with her development and brought her out of her shell. Her confidence was fantastic when she left and that was all thanks to the amazing staff team.”

“At previous nurseries there were days our child didn’t want to go in or came back agitated and frustrated. The majority of the time was spent in doors and we didn’t get much communication from the staff. It’s been the complete opposite since joining World Outside Kindergarten. Our child skips to nursery, really looks forward to going, has great relationships with the staff and importantly for us as parents we get regular comms at the door and via an app to keep us up to date with what’s going on. I’d highly recommend it. If you want your kids to be outside in the fresh air, learn about nature and come back fulfilled (and shattered!) then World Outside is the one.”

“A wonderful preschool. The team show care, compassion & positivity at all times! Our son has been so happy here and has been really well prepared for the transition to primary school. Staff are open, approachable and communicative. The children have wonderful learning experiences and lots of fun! The team go above and beyond to create a community. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Holy Trinity preschool for your little one.”

“Very happy with Sneakers at Studley. The management goes above and beyond to keep high standards of care and to make sure that each individual's needs are met. Meals are very healthy and nutritious. Kids spend a lot of time outdoors and do all sorts of creative activities. The staff listens to parents' requests and tries to follow up on them as closely as possible and reasonably. Overall, we're very happy with the nursery. Thank you to staff and management team for your hard work and commitment.”

“My little girl has been attending since she was 2 and half, she has really blossomed since attending nursery, she has always been a picky eater but since going to nursery she has tried different foods. The nursery has really helped my daughter prepare for school which she will be starting in September. Ive been so happy with the service my son will be starting in September!”

“Our daughter's been at Lola-Belle's for just over a year now. She had a tough first week or so being away from her mom and me, but she quickly got comfortable with the staff's help and support. They really pay attention to what she needs. Her speech and social skills have improved so much, and she absolutely loves coming to nursery every day. The staff noticed early on that she had special needs and helped us make a bunch of referrals to make sure she gets the right support down the road. We honestly can't say a bad thing about the nursery or its staff.”

“I am truly amazed at how incredible experience I have had with Donna and the team, they are truly incredible and beyond words. Highly professional team, aims to deliver exceptional service. I can’t fault them!”
