Child development activities in Northampton

“Cannot fault this nursery at all! My son had to start at very short notice & they got him his settling in sessions and started nursery within 1 week. My son has loved being there and always went in happy, some days it was be try hard to get him out. The staff are amazing and you can really tell how much they care about the children. I would 100% recommend this nursery.”

“It’s absolutely wonderful. The staff are like a second family to my little one. Communication is spot on and my child is very happy in this setting.”

“I highly recommend this nursery. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the staff here are just wonderful. They’re polite, reassuring, respectful and supportive. My eldest who is now at school still talks about nursery and during half terms is always super excited to come with me to pick her sister up so that she can see everyone again. My youngest also has struggled with transitioning from being with me and going to nursery but thanks to the great bonds the staff have made with her, she is now always happy and excited to come to nursery. Things have also been slightly adapted to accommodate my youngest too; like buying different foods that she will eat and adapting the menu slightly for her, using a separation plate so that foods aren’t touching. Allowing her to bring comfort items with her and supporting the use of her ear defenders as and when she needs them. The manager James is also brilliant. When speaking to him regarding a bereavement, he took it upon himself to there and then order in books for kids related to grief, and allowed me to take them home to read to the children. This, I feel is an example of going above and beyond for the families who attend this setting.”

“Our child has thrived at this nursery. We've been consistently impressed with the caring staff and stimulating environment. Thank you Kiddi Caru GP.”

“Very good nice little place for my grandson , he enjoyed thoroughly during stay for nearly a year before moving to school.”

“My experience with Northampton College Day Nursery has been wonderful. I couldn’t ask for a better nursery. The staff is very friendly and caring, they keep me updated with activities in the nursery and how my children are progressing. The environment of the nursery is welcoming. The rooms are large with lots of toys inside as well as outside. Everything is organised and clean. Our twins are very happy when we pick them up and we can say with assurity that they are well looked after. I would definitely recommend this nursery.”

“We had an incredible experience at Rhymetime Berrywood, where my daughter attended from 1.5 years to almost 4 years old. As a new migrant family leaving our loved ones behind, we felt at ease knowing that our daughter was in such caring hands. The growth she achieved in language skills, independence, and foundational concepts like math and the alphabet was truly remarkable. I want to give special recognition to Miss. Kayla, Miss. Debi, Mr. Tom, and Miss.Nicole, who went above and beyond to support my daughter's development. Their dedication and trustworthiness provided us with peace of mind every day. The nursery offers plenty of space for the children to explore and play, which has greatly contributed to our positive experience. It is genuinely heartbreaking to leave as we are moving, but we will always cherish the wonderful memories we've made here. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team at Rhymetime Berrywood. We will forever be grateful for the love and care they provided for our daughter. Highly recommended!”

“My 9 yr old son spent 3 afternoons a week at a,t,c,s and loved every moment of it, his exact words are he felt part of the family and it was a very sad day when we said goodbye. Danny and Sam really made our transition into using and trusting a chilminding service very stress free my son enjoyed the games play learning and Im ashamed to say the food often asking for 2nds at meal times. I would have no concerns recomending a,t,c,s to anyone a warm welcome home were you can have fun and be safe. thanks Tracey”

“Sending my child to Acorn day nursery at Brafield-on-Green was the best decision we made for him. I was nervous about our son starting nursery at a young age, especially being a first time mum however, thanks to the genuine love and compassion shown by staff, he settled in quickly. I cannot thank them enough for everything they do. They are very attentive to both the unique needs of my son and of us as parents. We have seen him grow and develop into wonderful young boy. His social interaction, speech and self confidence has come along way since starting nursery. It is such a joy to be able to drop him off knowing he absolutely loves spending every minute he is there with the comfort of knowing he is in safe hands. Our second son will soon be starting at Acorn and I’m looking forward to seeing him develop and thrive just as his brother does. The nursery have a wonderful big outdoor space which they make full use of in all weather which I think is brilliant”

“I highly recommend Bonding before Birth. We have used them already a few times and always had a great service. They also have many gadgets for very good prices!”

“The team at Marston Day Nursery have been exceptional. Right from day one, their communication has been excellent, their vast knowledge of childcare across the team is very impressive. My son has settled so well here compared to another nursery and that’s because the team spent one on one time with him, made him feel he could play and express himself there and also allowed parents to be in the settling in sessions if needed. The nursery is furnished to a very high standard and has lots of toys to suit every child. They also often take trips outdoors and have an excellent garden for outside play. All the team are a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.”

“Both of my children have attended Apple Tree Nursery, starting in the baby room and then moving up to the big room. I’ve been so impressed with how well they’ve developed and the milestones they’ve reached during their time there. It’s amazing to see the new skills they bring home and how much confidence they’ve gained. What means the most to me is how happy they are to go in every day. Even my youngest, who is usually very shy and cautious with strangers, looks forward to nursery and goes in with a smile. The small group sizes and family-oriented atmosphere make such a difference. It feels warm and personal. We are grateful for the wonderful care and support from the staff, and we’ve already recommended Apple Tree Nursery to our friends. Thank you Apple Tree ❤️”

“My son loves it here. He did not settle straight away but the staff were fantastic working with him and myself to ensure that he settled and was happy.”

“Friendly staff, a lovely nursery. They have really helped our little one grow and gain confidence in all they do.”

“Our little one goes to Play2Learn, started off in baby room and now transitioned to pre-school. It’s a great setting with incredible staff. His key worker is brilliant! I would highly recommend it to parents looking for a nurturing setting for their little ones.”

“Little Birches is a wonderful nurturing nursery that fully supports and cherishes the children. Every day fun activities are planned which the children love. They communicate very well to parents and arrange lots of lovely activities like Mother Day picnics. The children are so happy here.”

“Comfortable and confident to leave my children here. I have 2 children at the nursery of different ages so have seen many of the staff who are all welcoming and friendly. The nursery manager, Lidia,is a godsend, always around and happy to help and provide guidance. Especially as new parents we have plenty of questions over processes and what’s “normal” so to have her to help is priceless to reassure us. Seen a couple of comments to the contrary (suspiciously posted at almost identical times) but it’s no way representative of reality. In summary, excellent nursery, well run and efficient and highly recommended”

“As a parent, I’m so happy. The staff are kind, patient, and really care about the children. My son has grown in confidence and loves going every day. It’s such a warm, welcoming place , I couldn’t ask for better care.”

“My son joined Ecton in preschool and it has been the best decision I’ve made. Absolutely brilliant staff who support, nurture and really know their children. My son is happy, loves going to school each day, has made great friends and is thriving. Mrs Cleaver and her staff have created more of a family than a school and I highly recommend them.”
