Child room in Nottingham

“Absolutely amazing place,made to feel so comfortable and staff are lovely Thankyou so much to the team”

“We moved our daughter from another nursery to Stepping Stones just after her first birthday. Tomorrow she starts reception at the local primary school, so it's a big milestone for all of us! From the moment we first visited this family-run nursery, we knew our daughter would be taken care of and she settled very quickly. The staff work incredibly hard and are invested in the children's wellbeing and development. Her language skills and social confidence have come on leaps and bounds. Every milestone has been handled with care and attentiveness, the team were always there to offer additional support and advice, addressing any worries we had as first time parents (also from the 'lockdown' era!). Our daughter has absolutely loved engaging with trips to the local parks, visits from the emergency services, and regular yoga classes. The meals are of a very high standard, security and communication are always very consistent. A brilliant nursery, highly recommended.”

“The hotel staff went above and beyond to make our stay feel special. Everything was spotless, and every member of the team was friendly and welcoming. We were genuinely impressed and would highly recommend staying here.”

“Went to Wagamama in Notts today with my friend for lunch. Everything was top notch. The food was delicious. I had the fried greens, ebi katsu, and chicken katsu curry, my friend had the duck gyoza and prawn curry. We had a beer and a cocktail. The food arrived hot and fresh, yummy! Thankyou chefs. The highlight of our stay were the staff. We were greeted by the hostess and taken to our table of choice, served by another friendly young chap, but there's one staff memeber who stood out above all others, anywhere I've ever been to and thats a young lady named Sophie. Studying at university who works to earn her spending money. She was a delight, a credit to Wagamama. She was so kind and friendly, so ambitious and I see a great life ahead for her. I think anything she does, she will do it well. Thanks for the wonderful service Sophie, you were the shining light above all others today, and made our rare luncheon really special. Cheers from Shirley and Vannessa, the 2 women who nearly talked you to death:-)”

“My daughter and I stayed here for a family vacation. The hotel was clean, and the staff were very friendly. The beds were so soft and comfortable that both of us did not have any issues getting a good nights sleep. The breakfast was good and enjoyable with plenty of choices for what you wanted to eat and drink. Thank you for making our stay an enjoyable experience.”

“Went here for our anniversary and had such a lovely experience. The staff were so kind and even upgraded our room after finding out it was our anniversary. We really appreciated the gesture and had a wonderful stay. Would definitely recommend!”

“My little boy has been attending since he was nine months old during Covid. I'm so happy to have found a nursery that nurtures and encourages development in all of the children. My son has been attending since he was nine months old during Covid. I'm so happy to have found a nursery nurtures and encourages development in children. My little boy always comes home with a smile on his face and is excited to tell us what he has been up to. Since being a baby, he's made wonderful relationships with multiple members of staff. Ashleigh in the preschool room is incredible and always has time to talk about what's going on in the nursery that day. My little boy also had a very close bond with Gemma when he was in toddlers, and still loves to talk to her now about all sorts of things, having not been in toddlers for almost a year now! There are so many other amazing staff members too, I could list them all but I'd be here a while! It's very easy to talk to any members of staff about any issues or questions you have, and they're always happy to help. Communication with parents is done via the monthly newsletter, as well as the text messaging service, which are really helpful for reminders or information. Overall I would recommend Busy Bees to anyone considering nursery settings!”

“We had fantastic help and service from Edwina when we bought our travel system. She even remembered my parents going in to look at the one we wanted! There was a great deal on an ex-display model and she even offered to book an appointment with my parents to try it at a different time, so they didn't feel they'd missed out. The staff really understand how excited people are to make some of the big purchases and Edwina went out of her way to spend time with us and make it special. Huge thank you.”

“I like Premier Inns as you know where you’re at with them. Good value, clean and nice. The evening staff on this particular one went above and beyond on accommodating our kids. They gave us activity packs on arrival and some goody bags during dinner. Great service.”

“Wow! What a great night looked after by a guy called Lewis, he was a gentleman and professional. He pandered to our every needs which made the night amazing. Well done young man you are exactly what this industry is about. I totally enjoyed the evening.”

“We stayed here for 2 nights, with a Guide Dog for the Blind puppy, the room we were given was very roomy and comfortable. The staff were very accommodating of our pup and all staff were friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Dee in the breakfast room, she was so helpful and informative of all the ooptions on the breakfast menu. The cost of the room and the additional breakfast were very reasonable. Plenty of parking and easy access to Nottingham centre.”

“I love this place. Can i just do a shout out for the staff member James! He was awesome on our last visit. Had an issue, and he sorted it. Very friendly, and welcoming place. All the staff are excellent. Already looking for available dates so i can come visit again!”

“Amazing nursery. Staff are wonderful”

“Nottingham City Council gets behind Christmas in a big way. They sort out fun stuff for the little ones and deck out the Council House with a massive tree and Christmas factory that's the envy of every fairy light fanatic.”

“I bought a power bank from Argos in Ilford, London, and came to this store for a replacement. Mrs. Bec was very kind and friendly. She did her job very well and replaced the power bank quickly.”

“Over recent years, I’ve made a number of purchases from the shop. The owner’s and staff are lovely and it’s great to see a family run business. The toys are of great quality - made to last. There are a mix of toy styles for all age groups. I especially like the hand puppets, dolls and books. There’s a good range of sensory toys as well.”

“My boyfriend recommended this place, having been to another location somewhere else in the country. I really enjoyed my time here! The building is beautiful and the food was really wonderful. We got lucky and got a seat straight away, but I'd definitely recommend reserving in advance. The staff were really friendly and helpful”

“I enjoyed driving through the highly organised series of cones, tents and hivis marshalls to receive a covid test. Everybody was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately it came back positive.”

“Had a hand casting made of the whole family (family tree) and I absolutely adore it!! Jenny is amazing. She was so accommodating to both my 2 year old and 5 month old. Her attention to detail was incredible and she was so patient. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much”

“We started baby sparks when my little one was 6 weeks old, this little hour class, once a week honestly changed my maternity leave around in the best way possible. Sparky Kat welcomed us with open arms and a judgement free, fun space where my little girl has developed so amazingly. She now recognises the songs, the maracas, the “silly’s!” and the best part of it all, we have made some amazing friends. Baby sparks, put simply is both of our favourite hour of the week.”

“Kumon is the best Maths and English program to help children make their foundation strong enough for secondary school. My son has been attending the muster road Kumon branch since 2019 and he has made a lot of progress since then. Naheed pays attention to each and every child and gives honest feedback about their progress. She guides you and is happy to help in every which way possible to support your child. I am happy that I chose Kumon West Bridgford for my son.”

“if you're looking for a nursery for your children I couldn't recommend country kids enough, my oldest came here in 2019 and absolutely loved it here so when my youngest needed a nursery there was no other nurserys we would want to send him to. he's settled in at nursery now and that was thanks to the girls that make it such a wonderful place. he now says me go as soon as he hears nursery!! the inside and outdoor play areas are brilliant and have great resources for them to flourish. highly recommend.”

“We were recommended St Nicholas Day Nursery by a number of people on our estate. When contacting multiple nurseries, St Nicholas’ were the only ones to respond. We were invited for a tour and felt at home straight away. The outdoor provision has been revamped throughout the year and our son always talks about how amazing it is and how his ‘teachers’ are his bestfriends. The staff are supportive, loving and caring. I would highly recommend St Nicholas’ to anyone within the local area! Thank you for the time you have spent with our son, you’ve definitely made him primary school ready.”

“My 3 year old has been going since he was 11 months and I now send my 1 year old as well. I would always recommend this nursery, the staff are amazing both my children come home happy, cared for and my oldest always talks about the amazing things he has done. The reason I chose this nursery is it felt like a home not a just a boring building to place a child, it is so cared for and looked after. The range of activities my children have both done has supported their development and they learn so much every day. It makes me so happy as a parent who has to go to work to leave them somewhere I know the staff care and look after them so well. Every single one of the workers and owners have always been so supportive, they are amazing”

“Take my daughter her all the time it's brill”

“It's a perfect place to share with other mothers and children. The under 1s session is absolutely adorable. You find here a lot of support at all times. Babes on Friday, it's such a supportive group as well. I deffo recommend it if you only have 1 child. Staff is brilliant. You can find vitamins for your child as well. This is a treasure place and I am so happy that i am still enjoying with my little one.”

“Stay and play at alf&Co on a Tuesday has honestly been the highlight of our week on maternity leave. Kirby and her team are the nicest friendliest people and the whole atmosphere is so lovely. The variety of toys is excellent and they always make sure there are toys for each age group. Having a hot drink included too is such a nice touch. Could not recommend it more. And being on mapperley top there are loads of places to go for lunch after with the other mums and dads. The shop too is gorgeous and we've bought some lovely toys and clothes that are such great quality. If you want a group to go to with baby/toddlers this one is fab. Don't be nervous about going on your own, you'll make friends. It's so relaxed and everyone is lovely. They also have lots of extras like a photographer some weeks, sleep experts another and a pottery lady for some lovely baby footprint Xmas presents. I'm so sad to be going back to work and will really miss this. Iris has LOVED it! Thank you Kirby and Rebecca, you'll never know how much this session helps mums get out of the house and get some much needed interaction. Thank you! Xxx”

“Great place, lovely people that run it and their thursday nights with a medium is just fantastic!!”

“Little Plums nursery gave us an amazing experience as parents and our little boy absolutely loved his days there. They had our little one from when he was 4 months old, they made us feel confident about leaving him from his first day. The parent app is regularly updated to let you know what your little ones have been up to. The staff are always happy to help and listen to any worries you have at nursery and home and are really friendly. We had a fantastic 3 years here. Thank you Little Plums for giving my boy and us a great experience and setting his foundations for the future.”
