Overall Experience

I believe this to be the BEST nursery in the whole of Luton! The staff are fantastic ib every way! The nursery is very well run, clean with good equipment and fun play learning. The app is a MUST for all nurseries to keep parents informed and updated at all times and also provides a clear communication

portal for anxious parents. The staff here are great, friendly approachable and on the ball at all times i would never send my child anywhere else or any subsequent children that i have.

Review of
Foxcubs Nursery
from Anna R (Mother of Child) published on 4 September 2024

Overall Experience

Foxcubs is an excellent nursery with a variety of playing and learning activities and caring staff. The manager is brilliant, she has organised so many interesting events for kids like animal farm visits, and different parties, they have a beautiful garden for the children where they grow their own

flowers and vegetables and children can help and learn about nature. My son loves the nursery's staff. He was looking forward to going there in the morning to go there, which is to develop his social and emotional skills. If I have to choose the nursery again, I will definitely choose Foxcubs as it is a wonderful nursery for the kids to be and develop.

Foxcubs is an absolutely amazing nursery! My daughter has loved her time here and I'm quite sad she's leaving. The staff are so caring and go above and beyond for the children. The manager is very thorough in everything she does and communication with parents has been outstanding, particularly on the

Famly app. Would 100% recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Parktown Pre-School Nursery is one of the best nurseries, both of my sons went to this nursery. They both learned a lot from here, my elder son is in school but my little one is still going. He has learned to communicate with good manners and even he learned about sign language. He loves to express

his feelings so well and even explores new things. Now he knows how to make friends before he was too shy to talk with others. We really thank the staff, all are very nice and friendly and always able to help.

Overall Experience

7 out of my 14 children have attended Poppies and we have been using Poppies Nursery for the last 12 years. It's like extended family. My son is graduating this month so only 1 left in the nursery now.
Always greeted with a smile.
Great communication and regular updates with my kid's progress. A handy

app that keeps you informed in real-time. All staff are hands-on and work well.
Great facilities for the kids, a wide range of activities.
My kids are always happy to go even if they are ill they still want to go.
Big round of applause for the manager to stay on top of everything and runs it well.

Reply from Tracey Perkins, Manager at Poppies Nursery

Thank you for your review. We always try to ensure that Poppies is a friendly and welcoming environment. We work together as a team with the parents/carers to ensure we meet the children's individual needs and support their learning development through play, giving all children the opportunity to explore and have different experiences by offering them a variation of activities and resources.

I am very satisfied and recommend it wholeheartedly, especially since I had both children in this kindergarten. The staff is very kind to the children as well as to the parents, and for that, we are very happy and enjoy ourselves enormously. My daughter is very happy every day when she goes and I also

I’m very happy with this nursery for my child such as the quality of care, safety measures, educational activities, and staff professionalism. I can see the huge difference in her physical development, cognitive development and social and emotional development. She’s a very confident little girl since

she started the nursery. Her language development and communication skills are getting better too.

Overall Experience

We have now got 2 children that we can say happily go to Parktown Pre-school. One has already been and moved into school, and the other our daughter still goes. The preschool is always good at telling us and updating us about our child's progress. We are happy about our experience and the positive influence

they have in our children's lives. The experience is like a partnership, we and the team at Parktown Preschool work together to achieve the most flourishing flower from the flowers we know our children are.

Brilliant nursery with the kindest and most caring staff. My boy has presented with some additional needs as he is nonverbal currently, and the Poppies team have been so supportive and encouraging of my son's development. He absolutely loves going to nursery and has created some lasting bonds with the

practitioners. The team atmosphere is always warm and welcoming and you can really feel a sense of pride in the work that they do for the children.

I just can say that my daughter loves going to nursery and likes all her teachers.
Lots of different activities she enjoys.
And she’s making progress and learning new things.
Learn songs, writing and being around other kids.
She loves going there and she’s always happy when we pick her up.

Sundon Stars Pre-School
from Craig J (Father of Child) published on 26 March 2024

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our 3-year-old son started with this nursery in September 2023, after having only been cared for by family members.
Our son has struggled with social anxiety, and we were really concerned about how he would transition to full-time care in a setting such as this one, but I am very pleased to say that

the team at Sundown Stars have been instrumental in the growth of our son's social abilities.
The rapport they have built with our son is wonderful to see; he has a great deal of love for each of them, which is high praise in our book.
The setting is clean and tidy, with separated areas for play, reading, quiet time, eating etc. Outdoor facilities are great, with the setting recently investing in new play equipment for the children, which our son loves. The team have arranged for coaches to attend to run exercise/games sessions too.
I honestly cannot rate this setting highly enough or thank the team enough for the great work they do with our son and all of the children they care for.
