Child space in Reading

“Could not wish for a better nursery and caring staff. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing place. They go above and beyond to make sure your child is happy and you are updated on progress. Great outdoor space and brilliant activities and resources inside. But the staff make it.”

“The staff are absolutely fantastic and our daughter really loves it at Cedar Park. Their ethos is a big draw for us, and it is a great comfort to know that sustainability is being taught to her, quite simply, as a way of life. The meals and snacks provided are fresh and varied so she eats a healthy and balanced diet. During the day she enjoys a wide range of activities, and we have seen substantial growth in her development since starting here. I like the way in which her play is observed so they can encourage her in areas she enjoys most, while also being given the opportunity to explore new areas for development. I particularly like that the wonderful outdoor space is used on a daily basis, and the children are encouraged to discover nature as a part of their play. The interaction and insight gained from the app was such a comfort when she first started at the nursery a few months ago - especially during a lockdown, we found it invaluable and continue to do so.”

“My son loves this place, and his development has come on leaps and bounds since he started attending. He loves the art and craft activities, story time, and running around the playground. The staff are fantastic, and he's made some good friends. I highly recommend this nursery”

“Great small nursery, children always so happy and so obviously have a great time and pleased to be there, staff are so attentive to children.”

“We couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough. Our little girl had a difficult start to life and when able to start attending nursery, still needed some special attention. The team were never fazed by any of this, and haven’t just helped to look after her, they have been a fundamental part of her progress, both in terms of her health and overall development. Every member of the team we’ve met has been incredibly friendly and we love hearing about and seeing (via the great online platform they use) all the fun things she does during her time there. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!”

“Our daughter was instantly settled after changing nursery to Cherrywood. The staff are friendly, caring and dedicated to teaching the children here with flash cards, differing activities with an ample amount of outdoor space which our daughter loves.”

“Our daughter has been at Hazebrouck since she was one, and she absolutely loves it. The staff are so caring and attentive, creating a wonderful environment where she’s truly happy. Communication is great, and there’s always a fantastic mix of activities. Huge thank you to Fran, Rhianna, Tia, Kristina, Caroline, Kylie, Kate, Natalie, Louise, and Dawn for all the love and care you show her every day!”

“I read some poor reviews, I decided to visit the nursery anyway, I have visited many nurseries prior to this one. At Elms, I found the staff was caring and attentive to the children when visited. The children I saw, seemed calm and relaxed, at ease with the adults, socialising well and playing kindly. It seemed a quiet place, no shouting from anyone, some nurseries have more space but very many children too. I was looking for a Montessori method, accordingly they have wooden toys and give children the freedom to explore life through playing using their own initiative as well as having group activities. Today, it was my daughter's ever first day away from us at 2.4 years of age and she didn't cry, she was happy to go and stay this morning. My husband picked her up, she was sitting listening to a story, she was extremely happy and excited afterwards. She obviously had a great time. I like that children learn to eat more vegetables too while there. I felt I was dealt promptly and efficiently with regards to the administration, I was given plenty of information over the phone and by email and they have been very kind and accomodating with a query I had. In this place, I didn't feel like a "number". Based on my overall experience and observations, it seems like a good nurturing place for my daughter and she has shown to love spending time there, this is important to me. Hence, I rate Elms 5 stars.”

“Fantastic nursery. I have alot time for the staff and management, they have helped my daughter with her needs etc.”

“Didnt take many pictures sorry we were having so much fun! Place is huge and brilliant for all ages! Lovely clean soft play with slides, mazes, climbing, wobbly obstacles, mirrors, ball pits, bumper cars, role play village with dress up and props, they have party facilities here, a cafe, toilets and a carousel!! Well worth the money we paid 18.00 fpr an adult and 1 toddler but it wasnt busy when we went term time on a friday at lunchtime it was my 2 year old paradise we had it near enough to ourselves without older kids bumping him over it was great! Staff were friendly and engaging with the children. Fully secure photo entry system and locked gates for in and out. Will defo be back! We came from basingstoke on the train which took around 15 min on train and a five min really easy walk to the venue! Theres a mcdonalds opposite too and its next to sainsburys if u dont want to buy food there. Our food however was nice from the venue and reasonably priced. They sell snacks, fresh cake, biscuits and drinks. It is card payments only. There is a lift for pushchair/wheelchair access also. We did not have to prebook tickets either however i can imagine on weekends this is advised but not essential. 10/10 from us!.”

“I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Greyfriars Nursery, where my daughter has been attending since she was one year and four months old. My daughter is now three years and eight months old, and as she prepares to join school this coming September, I reflect on our wonderful journey with the nursery. As a mother, there’s no greater joy than seeing your child happy and thriving in an environment they love. Greyfriars Nursery has provided exactly that for my daughter, and in turn, has given me immense happiness and peace of mind. I am extremely satisfied with the nursery for its exceptional communication and exemplary staff, in my view. Starting from the caregivers in the baby room to the staff managing meals and cleanliness, My daughter adores everyone. Each day, there’s something exciting for the children to do. Remarkably, despite her young age when she started, my daughter has never once cried when I’ve left her there. She’s always incredibly happy when I come to pick her up. As we approach this new chapter of my daughter starting school, I wholeheartedly recommend Greyfriars Nursery to other parents. As a very satisfied mother, I can confidently say that your child will be in excellent hands here. The environment is nurturing, engaging, and just fantastic for young minds to grow and flourish.”
