Institute in Derby

“Our little one has been here over a year and so has been in various rooms over the different age groups. Each has been fabulous! They absolutely love the nursery, and it's obvious how much the staff care which was the number 1 thing for us in choosing a nursery. The staff are just brilliant. Lots of outside play year round too. And they helped my little one who was a very late walker. Highly recommend! Edited to add - the food is also brilliant. All made fresh on site and they take great care in offering healthy food, and I saw that they recently won an award for their food too which didn't surprise me!”

“The Old Forge is a friendly and welcoming nursery. My son has been attending since he was 1 and has absolutely loved it. The staff are all lovely and the activities and forest school experiences they offer are of a high standard. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.”

“A great nursery to send little children too. Special mention to Richard, Daniel, Kier, Georgia and Sarah. Great staff who genuinely care for the children.”

“Like many other business owners I find myself working at 9pm (and often later!) on Saturday night. I then get stuck on a complicated Microsoft Excel formula. I put a shout on LinkedIn and within 30 minutes Carol came to the rescue and solved the problem! I cannot recommend Carol highly enough! Thank you!!!”

“Have had both my children here from 8 months to school and it is wonderful. All the staff are very nurturing and caring, they address all the children’s needs very well from babyhood onwards and give them a good start in literacy and numeracy for school. It feels like a big family as the staff turnover is very low. Excellent all round.”

“Fantastic nursery the staff are really accommodating. My child has come on really well since starting here hes settled In the setting well and has formed fantastic attachments with staff.”

“Absolutely loved this school as I i used go there in 2010 but now I've moved still have memories of this place and still got my certificates from there for example on 21st may 2010”

“My son goes to this nursery 5 times a week. The price is reasonable and staff are good. The children are provided with fresh food . This is definitely one of the best you can get in Chellaston Derby close to Homefields Primary school.”

“My wife and I visited today and were impressed with the quality of the stock on display and available. Whilst we didn't visit to buy wellingtons, we did in fact, finish up buying a pair of Aigles for my wife. First class service and product knowledge from Laura. Definitely on the list for a visit the next time we're in Ashbourne.”

“Staff are lovely. Child loves nursery, and has thrived since starting”

“My son m.affan loved going there learnt a lot very cooperative staff and teachers. Lovely ambiance. Highly recommended”

“Truly a really friendly and fun nursery. My daughter has thrived being here, arriving shy and leaving full of confidence. She's made lovely friends and the staff are so kind and compassionate. I'd highly recommend this nursery to anyone.”
