Child development activities in Stoke

“This is a brilliant nursery my daughter willow has really enjoyed her time at the nursery and they have really helped her with her special needs. Recommend this nursery to anyone”

“My Grandson has attended Early Days since he was six months old . Early Days is a very important part of his routine. All of the staff have helped tremendously with every aspect of his development. He is a very caring, smiley, fun loving little boy and I believe that Early Days has played a massive part in him being as such. The building, both inside and outside is a very clean, well managed, bright, cheerful and nurturing environment. The children are encouraged to try new foods and the food has always been nutritious or has my grandson states , "yummy". We are given daily reports of what he has eaten, what he has drank, his nap times and what activities he has participated in, aswell as regular photos on the Early Days Facebook page showing how much fun all the children are having. The staff encourage the children to explore the world and their surroundings in a fun, safe and enthusiastic manor. All of the staff have a genuine bond with the children. Throughout my grandson's time at Early Days, through the baby room, the toddler room and now the preschool room, he has bonded with every member of staff that has ever cared for him. At the moment he has a very strong bond to Pam Haynes, whom he refers to has " my Pammy". Pam and all the staff are a credit to the nursery and I would highly recommend Early Days Nursery to anyone.”

“I took my granddaughter (20 months) here for the first time last week. A warm welcome from Hollie and a lovely session with plenty of toys. Great to see suggestions on the wall to support your child’s development in each area and my granddaughter particularly enjoyed the sensory room. We will be visiting again.”

“I cannot put into words how special this setting really is. Every single member of staff is committed to the children they care for. They are extremely hard working and put an awful lot of thought and time into planning exciting learning activities for the children. They offer a large variety of learning experiences that engage the children and help them to grow and develop. My son especially enjoyed his visits to the allotment and learning about nature. ABC has great outdoor facilities for the children too. My son also loved playing with the footballs and riding on the bikes (which he told me about when he got home). My son has never been happier than when we was attending this setting. He would skip in in the mornings and not want to come home when I picked him up! He would always ask to stay longer. I trust the staff completely and I truly felt that they invested time in getting to know my son individually and cared about his needs and interests. What a fabulous team they are ! Would recommend to any parent in the area looking for a friendly, exciting and caring environment for their child.”

“My son has settled so well into ABC Audlem. He absolutely adores Carina and all the other staff at ABC. Since starting there Jah'Mari has come on in leaps and bounds. He comes home happy every day from there telling me all the wonderful things he has been doing there. All the staff are very attentive and friendly. Always tell you how the children's days have been. I would highly recommend this childcare setting for anyone looking to put thier child into nursery. Thank you for all you do for my boy he loves you all very much.”

“What a fantastic and inclusive setting . Our daughter joined the preschool room in Feb 2024 and has continued to blossom and thrive in the environment. Surrounded by highly qualified , caring and supportive practitioners, that ensure her needs along with her peers needs are always met . The children are provided with opportunities galore to explore , learn and be creative through play . Healthy snack and meals are provided to the highest quality with all dietary requirements met and supported - nothing is too much trouble at all . Side By Side have been a huge piece in our daughters learning journey puzzle and we are forever grateful for them and would recommend to all parents in and around the local area .”

“My son has been going to Hartford Old School House for the last 6 months, and absolutley loves it! The nursery set up a different range of activities each day, all with the aim and focus of developing different skill sets. My son suffers with his hearing due to ear infections and nursery have gone out of their way to support him with different methods of communication to ensure that his communication doesn't fall behind. We get regular updates and pictures via the app which we love as it allows us to see what he's up to during the day. The nursery do loads of lovely things around special events, such as a garden party with the children for the Kings coronation recently. All the staff are so lovely and welcoming, and the variety of food on offer each day is amazing and all cooked from scratch! I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend Hartford Old School House to any other parents, I'm so happy we found it for our boy!”

“Amazing outdoor nursery that I would thoroughly recommend. My daughter has always been so happy in this setting, exploring the outdoors and learning as she’s goes, just as it should be. The staff are friendly and caring, and happy to communicate.”

“Lovely place for kids to play! Feels safe and can let your children be children without the worry of them getting out of the play area. Would definitely recommend. Safe are helpful and very friendly.”

“My daughter started the Nursey 3 months ago, she has settled so well. The staff have been amazing with her! She loves doing all the activities and we are always kept up to date. I can’t wait to see her thrive over the next two years. Thank you to all the staff in the toddler room.”

“Our son is 2yrs +8mo old. He has been attending Mumbles for almost 2 years now and has been progressing very well. He is now trying alot more foods, and his speech is suddenly accelerating! It's great to see him slowly learn how to make and play with friends and also have independence and confidence. We are very pleased with how friendly and accommodating the staff are! Thank you for everything you do for the kids.”

“Our little girl has been at Nina’s in the baby room for 5 months and absolutely loves it. She’s so well looked after and the activities she does every day really impress. The nursery has a really lovely, homely, family feel where all the staff and children from all rooms know and care for each other. Not only that but the food she eats is healthy, diverse and nutritious. She often comes home with new skills every week and knowing she’s developing so well whilst being cared for to such a great extent really puts our minds at ease. Leaving your little one is so hard but knowing she goes somewhere she loves and where she’s part of a family other than her own is very reassuring. We can’t rate Nina’s enough!”

“We had the pleasure of using Kids Corner for several months and only change in circumstances forced us to change nursery. Fantastic staff and kitchen, we were extremely happy with they way we were made welcome.”

“My children have attended Sandy tots for the past 5 years and I cannot say a bad thing about them. The staff are always friendly, attentive and knowledgeable in what they do. The rooms are clean and tidy, they have lots of activitys to keep the youngsters happy. They even have pets for the little ones to care for and play with. Another bonus is you can drop your children of from as early as 6:30am! Great if your a shift worker. They also keep you up to date with your child's progress via the Tapestry website, very handy and great to see how your little ones are doing. I would reccomend any parents looking for a local nursery to check out Sandy tots.”

“Fantastic nursery, my little boy has been attending Start Well Nursery for 9 months and he absolutely loves it, always running in, the staff and management team have been brilliant with him and just speaking to staff it shows just how well they know my little boy. Always going above and beyond to help his development along.”
