“Nice place for sensory room, staff are all lovely”

“We have taken the kids a few times and more recently attended a Peppa Pig party to celebrate my son and daughters 3rd birthday. The place it's self is a little small but has a lot to offer we particularly like it because of the sensory room which offers a clam environment for my son. The twins also enjoyed the interactive room and the main soft play area which is great for young children. The food in the cafe is very nice offers both hot and cold food. Great place, great people and would highly recommend”

“Had a lovely experience, the sonographer was lovely accomodated to my husband and his mum not wanting to know gender but revealing to myself ☺️ the heart beat bear is great, the photos they printed and the usb received is incredible. I'm so pleased would definitely recommend”

“My daughter has been going to Space Station since she was 14 months old. She has been very happy in all the rooms from babies through to Waddlers and Toddlers. She loves playing and dancing with her little friends and the staff make a really big effort with lots of great activities and themed weeks. Kim - the manager - is always very responsive, helpful and accommodating and was from our very first visit to look around. My daughter used reusable nappies and staff were happy to accommodate these too. I would definitely recommend Space Station!”

“My experience with Cherubs Day Nursery (Sale) has been brilliant. All the staff at nursery are always helpful and looks after my son well, this is evidence as he clearly enjoys & looks forward to attending nursery daily! The staff are also great at communicating with us, which has helped us to adopt a consistent disciplining approach between home and nursery.”

“The best nursery we could have picked for our daughter. We chose Kinder Giggles because it was small and has a family feel to it. My daughter was born during lockdown and had some health issues and i felt supported by the staff in making sure she was safe and settled. She absolutely loves her time at nursery with all of her friends. We are kept up to date with all of the amazing activities they do throughout the day. Management have always been approachable and flexible if I have needed to change days or times. We have used other nurseries in the area for my other child and feel they have not been at the same standard as what kinder Giggles is. Thanks everyone for all of your hard work xx”

“Alfie, our 12 year old cockerpoo, had both cruciates repaired by Charlie at Oakwood Vets in 2024. The care he received was second to none and he’s back to being a happy little boy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Charlie and the team at Oakwood vet referals.”

“My son is currently in pre school 1 and he Ioves going to nursery. All of the staff are excellent and everything is well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend them enough!”

“my son started this nursery when he was 6 months old, very small, and has left now after 3 years. from the first day they always took care of him, especially Alina who followed my son at every step he took, even when she was no longer in his room. For 3 years my son left them happy and with a smile every day and this is important for a parent. he did many activities and learned many things together with them. thanks again. Gabriel will miss you so much. obviously I recommend this nursery for your child.”

“Lovely nursery and team, treat my children like there own and I love the little bond they have with them my son left sky high to go to school but still asks to go back and see everyone and when they see him he’s still treated like family. They’ve made a great outdoor area for the children with all different activities for them, there always doing something different each day, coming home with pictures. The nursery team are great, there all lovely and welcoming everyday and make an effort to tell you what’s happened with your child through the day.”

“A very good thorough service from the People I dealt with. I would highly reccommend Denise and Karima. They worked very hard on my case and acheived a great result for me.”

“My son started here at 9 months old and settled so well into the baby room. Becky was so caring and tried to adapt everything to his usual routine and had a great understanding of his likes and dislikes. The key worker system worked brilliant. Michelle knows every child throughout the nursery and is always there for support.”

“My son attends nursery full time, all the staff at the nursery are really friendly and welcoming. My son loves being at nursery he is always so happy to go and I love all the updates I get on how he is doing throughout the day. I couldn’t be happier with the care being provided. Special mention to Katie in baby room who has help him settle into nursery life so well we can’t thank her enough for what she has done for him since starting”

“I cannot recommend Educare enough. From Becky, the manager, to each and every one of my son's key workers throughout the three years he has been there (Kirsty, Nicola, Emy, Alicia, Lizzie, Amy, Elena), I have always felt he is in the safest hands. Every member of staff is just the loveliest - they put tonnes of effort into the activities they plan, and parents are kept up to date with progress and pictures. Nothing is ever too much, even when I call up in the middle of the day because "he just seemed a bit sad this morning and I wanted to check whether he's cheered up and now having a good day!". They don't just give it lip service, they keep me on the line as they go to check on him, and will pass me on to his key worker if a bigger update is needed. Any time he's had a bump or fall (he's a kid, it's going to happen!), it's been recorded, and I've had a detailed account of exactly how it came about - which ALWAYS matches up to my son's description of the event, too. I really do love all the staff here, they provide a really personal touch which makes the world of difference. And to have your kid come home and say their key worker is their BEST FRIEND is the most heartwarming thing ever. He feels safe, and so do I.”

“I attended Cadmans for their Adult Ballroom and Latin class yesterday evening after 13 years of not dancing! I can honestly say I had such a brilliant time - the dance staff are so welcoming and put me at ease, I can’t wait to continue a Thursday evening! Fully recommend for those wanting to return or pick up a new skill x”

“My son has gone to this nursery from the age of 9 months and has started primary this year and I couldnt be more pleased with the care and development the nursery has provided to my son and fully intend my new child to go here as well. They treat my boy like their own and work very hard and closely with parents to ensure they can do the best for the children in their care. New staff integrate beautiful and you can tell they take great care in choosing the right staff that fits best in the nursery :) I have no complaints and I have no doubt they will continue such a high standard of care. Please do not believe any negative reviews as they are blatantly either spam or a troll causing unnecessary distress. I recommend this place so highly that even my extended family with children who don't necessarily live close by have chosen this nursery because how good it is and they love it and so do their kids. Keep up the brilliant work, my boy misses the nursery, that's how good it is”

“Excellent day nursey. Sent my daughter here September 2019. Staff are really nice and my daughter loves it here. Would definitely recommend.”

“This nursery is truly amazing! Both of my children attend here, and the staff, managers, and owners consistently go above and beyond to ensure the children are well cared for while having fun and learning. As a parent, seeing my children enter the nursery full of smiles and excitement to play and learn makes a world of difference. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!”

“My son attended Bright Futures for almost 3 and a half years up until starting school. He absolutely loved the nursery and I cannot fault them. He received not only amazing care but his confidence and skills flourished. Hayley, Angela and Lauren really care about the children and this is reflected through the whole nursery. He left confident and ready for primary school and they’ve certainly helped with that!”

“As a healthcare professional who visits the nursery regularly, I just want to mention how pleased I have been on my visits. Lovely staff with a genuine enjoyment of working with young children. Staff are well trained on how to support children. I have seen good examples of staff implementing strategies to help support development. The nursery has a good learning environment and the staff always have creative activities set up. It is amazing to see the care, kindness and compassion they demonstrate every single day. Friendly atmosphere that is welcoming, approachable and a pleasant place to visit.”

“Both of my children went to this nursery from being 5 months old to starting school. They absolutely loved it, as did I. I never had a complaint, the staff were all brilliant and nothing was ever too much. All nurseries are there to keep our children safe whilst providing them with growth, development, and skills for their lives, but Wells House excels at this!”
