“Amazing location, brilliant staff! Lovely design, wide car park. Better then I expected.”

“This nursery is amazing, highly qualified staff, really caring and amazing with the children, the owner Naomi is brilliant highly qualified which is a good job as she has 6 children of her own. Can’t recommend fun frogs highly enough.”

“Fantastic nursery, we feel so confident in the staff and the environment they create for my little girl. Spent a long time researching and visiting all the nurseries in the area and this stood out by a mile. Thanks homelands :)”

“Broadway Day Nursery is absolutely FANTASTIC. Sarah, Becky & the wonderful team of aunties are just amazing and my daughter has been so well cared for since starting in December 2023. The settling in sessions when my daughter first started nursery were brilliant and I knew from the first day that this was the perfect setting for us. On starting nursery my daughter had a ‘cows milk protein allergy’ and every measure was taken to ensure that her allergy requirements were met by the nursery staff, the nursery even purchased a certain ‘coconut milk’ especially for her. My daughter has thrived since attending nursery, she’s learned so much and looks forward to going. I have recently been so impressed by the nursery’s commitment to supporting my daughter with her potty training too, creating a reward chart for her (mimicking what we had done at home) and keeping us updated with her progress. Each day Broadway Day Nursery provide an overview of activities and document what children have been doing via a parent/carer app which I love, and this really gave peace of mind when my daughter first started nursery. My second child will start in the Bunnikins baby room next year and I’m already excited for her nursery journey. I honestly cannot recommend this nursery enough, they go the extra mile and there is a real ‘family feel’ about the setting. Thank you aunties for everything you do!”

“Bowden House provides a wonderful setting for your child to thrive. Having had my older son at another local and reputable nursery and from talking to friends, I can honestly say it sits head and shoulders above the rest. Not only is the setting small and intimate, the staff are friendly to children and parents alike. My little boy had a special relationship with his key worker Ruby, who was always so bubbly and positive with him. Although he only attended two days a week would talk about her a lot and was always excited to go to nursery. The nursery keeps parents well informed of activities for the week ahead (always varied, creative and educational) and provide regular updates on your child’s progress. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking in the locality.”

“This is a fabulous nursery, my grandson who is disabled really enjoyed his time there, and he really came on well, the meals are amazing, and the staff are really lovely and very caring, would highly recommend this place, it’s a shame they don’t do for over 5 years .”

“My daughter absolutely loves Bright Starts. The staff are amazing and have helped her so much. After a long time in hospital she has had a lack of socialisation and they have been fantastic with her and so accommodating for her extra care needs! Absolutely thrilled I chose them, she is so happy and it’s so lovely to see her smile again! Thank you Bright Starts!”

“What a nursery! Willow Tree, the management and the team surpassed all expectations. Both our children went there, flourished and made lovely little friends. Having always been dubious of nurseries, we made the decision to move our little girl from a childminder to their pre-school so she could get used to a bigger group setting before starting school. Within a few weeks, we wished we’d made the change a lot sooner. She LOVED IT! When we had our second child, we had no hesitation about where he would go. Nancy the manager worked some magic to make sure we had the days we needed. It quickly became a home from home for our little boy. It soon became apparent that he had delayed speech and needed some extra support in that area. The team were so proactive and put a programme of one on one activities in place to help his development and made all the necessary referrals and kept us in the loop with rehaul at face to face meetings every step of the way. We can’t thank them enough for their guidance and support. They work hard to involve the parents in all the special occasions that crop up throughout the year, from Easter bonnet parades to Mother/ Fathers Day Walks. Just lovely! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Willow Tree Private Day Care Nursery if you’re considering options. They’re an absolutely smashing bunch and the happy little faces that greet you every time you open the door is a testament to that.”

“Outstanding Nursery!! Come and Have a look around, small homely nursery where children always come first.”

“We absolutely love Grosvenor Nursery! As parents from Hong Kong raising our son here in the UK, it means a lot to find a place where he is not only safe, but truly cared for. The teachers here are warm, patient, and genuinely care about each child’s well-being. One lovely surprise was when they gave my son a bilingual book in Cantonese and English — such a thoughtful gift that really touched our hearts. It shows how inclusive and considerate the staff are, making sure every child feels seen and supported. If you’re looking for a nursery where your child will be cared for like family, this is the place. Highly recommended to all parents!”

“My daughter really enjoys this nursery and the staff are really good with the children”

“We couldn't be happier with our experience at Tiny Star Day nursery. Our son spent around 2 years here, and it has been an incredible journey. The staff are not only professional and caring but also genuinely passionate about the children's development and well-being. From the very first day, we felt welcomed and reassured. The teachers are exceptional, creating a warm and nurturing environment that made our son feel comfortable and happy every day. Their dedication and enthusiasm are evident in every interaction. Our son has thrived here, making wonderful friends and developing essential skills through the engaging and well-structured programs. The activities are both fun and educational, fostering creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning. We highly recommend Tiny Star Day Nursery to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching place for their child. Thank you to all the amazing staff for your hard work and for making our son's early years so memorable and enjoyable!”

“Absolutely brilliant nursery. Facilities and activities are great but the absolute stars of the show are the staff. Caring, engaged and well trained. Both my children have loved their time here and I would always recommend it to friends and family.”

“People are so nice such a clean inviting environment. Becky and all the staff are so nice! My child was upset about staying but came out full of smiles and could not wait to go back.”

“I would totally recommend this nursery , my son settled in really quickly and he is looked after very well I am really happy as a first time parent”

“Wonderful staff and great environment for learning and playing!”

“My daughter thrived at Woodlands, she was non verbal when she went in at 2 year old. Her speech and communication improved massively, she speaks now in full sentences, can read and count to 20; she grew to be a bright confident little girl. I'm so grateful we found Woodlands the staff are all brilliant, knowledgeable and caring, including the SENCo and the management team.”

“A really outstanding nursery. I am so delighted I chose Sylvan House. My daughter has been coming 3 days a week since she was 9 months and the development I've seen in her is fantastic. The girls in the baby room (Nicole, Chloe, Laura and Sarah) treat my daughter like their own, they are kind, affectionate, attentive and excellent at what they do. The food variety is great and she is really well fed and cared for with a detailed report at the end of the day showing food intake, sleep times, nappy changes, mood description etc. The app that the nursery use (Tapestry) is a A* and I look forward to numerous updates, photos, videos and notes about what she's up to. Communication is excellent throughout the day and at handover. Well done Sylvan you've made returning to work so much easier!”

“Brilliant staff Brilliant Nursery My child is very attached to me but she loves the staff so friendly.”

“Fantastic nursery. Kids became more social and their creativity has increased. They are always asking to go back to the nursery, they can’t get enough of it. Thanks to everyone at Bizzie Kidz”

“Our baby has just done her first year in the baby unit and it's been great. Her key worker Ellie has been wonderful with her. The staff in general have all been great. The place is clean and professional too.”

“Absolutely wonderful nursery!!! Hesitant to leave our daughter in anyone else’s care, we asked friends and family for a recommended, local, nursery who would look after our bundle of joy to the highest level. One visit to little acorns and we knew it was ‘the one’. She squeals in delight when we arrive and sleeps like a log when she comes home. She is loved, cuddled, educated and as her parents we are reassured that every minute she is there she is content and happy!! Can not recommend enough, our little acorn is thriving. Bellas mummy and daddy x”

“My son loves it here. Amazing staff he's loved going in to pre-school this time x”
