Overall Experience

My boy is in his final few months attending Ladybirds Neighbourhood Nursery as he is ready for big school, and I can't thank the staff enough for their dedication, commitment and support towards my boy. He has been a huge part of this nursery family and has thrived and learnt so much over his journey

there. The staff are amazing in every aspect of his learning. They do such an outstanding job with every child in their care. I'll be sad to leave them in the summer. They are an amazing team, and forever grateful to each and every one of them. Thank you Ladybirds.

Reply from Joanne Burke, Manager at Ladybirds Neighbourhood Nursery

Thank you for the lovely review. It has genuinely been our pleasure to care for him since he was a baby. He has grown tremendously during his time with us, both in size and development. The team truly appreciates your kind words.

Overall Experience

Ladybirds is such a wonderful nursery, the management team and staff always go above and beyond for the children and their days are always filled with fun activities. My children always look forward to going in and come home happy. The only improvement would be for the meal provision. We provide a lunchbox

for lunch and often the evening meal is just a light snack like cheese on toast. Wondering if this is something that is going to be looked at in the near future. Everything else is 5-star.

Reply from Joanne Burke, Manager at Ladybirds Neighbourhood Nursery

Thank you very much for your kind review. We take great pride in our team and their commitment to making learning enjoyable for the children every day. Currently, we do not have the facilities to offer a full hot meal for the children, but we are exploring new ways to provide nutritious and tasty menus for tea time.

Where do I start. The best nursery in Runcorn. All the staff are fun, welcoming, kind, caring and treat our kids like their own. The love and care we see on a daily basis is beyond what any parent could wish for. Knowing are children are safe and looked after is half the battle, at Ladybirds you don't

have to worry about that! Every day is fun day! Couldn't recommend them enough!

Thank you so much for such kind words about what we provide at our nursery, we are very proud to hear this feedback.

Overall Experience

We're so glad we picked Ladybirds. After looking at several nurseries, I knew Ladybirds was the one for us, baby room sold it for me. I loved that we could have multiple settling-in sessions until everyone was comfortable with my child being in their care for a full day, it made it so much easier for

me.
I've loved seeing the learning journey in pre school room, delving into a topic/subject and building knowledge around it.
The staff and management are an absolute credit to the nursery. They genuinely care and support my child.

Overall Experience

My kids have been going to Brookvale Nursery since 2021 and this year my youngest said goodbye as she is starting reception from September. It's been quite a journey for us but staff at Brookvale made it superb and I couldn't be happier seeing both my kids there. They would come back home every time

happy, tired from various activities and excited to go the very next day. They could do all the messy activities like playing with water, sand, mud, playdough, paints, that, as a parent, you would not like to have done at home. The playground of the nursery is very big and it would be used on a daily basis, so kids come home both tired and smiling. Staff are simply brilliant, with their positive attitude and warmth. Very communicative, very inviting but still focused on what is the best for your child. Thank you, Brookvale Nursery, it's been a good journey!

Reply from Amanda Herd, Nursery Manager at Brookvale Nursery

Thank you for your kind words, it's always good to hear that we are doing a good job. We do our best to meet the needs of both children and parents and from your comments, we are getting that right. It has been an absolute privilege helping your children to grow and we wish them every success at school.

My daughter came to this nursery after a bad experience from a previous. My daughter has loved coming to this nursery and the staff have been amazing. I honestly can't say a bad word from drop off to pick up my child has always been happy and can't wait to get in or return. I can't thank the nursery

enough. I will miss it and would definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

From the age of 9 months, my little boy had been in a nursery local to a town we used to live. Just before September 2023, my son moved to Ladybirds Nursery. Within days he was so comfortable in his new environment.
The amazing staff have fed his little imagination with the most wonderful stories and

experiences, which he has such joy in telling me about at home time.
The best nursery I could have ever put my child in. Would 1000 percent recommend it to anybody looking for a local nursery.
Caring and devoted staff, always putting all their effort into making the nursery a fabulous place for the children.

Overall Experience

This nursery is outstanding, my little girl absolutely loves it here and has come on so much since attending Ladybirds Nursery, she was a preemie baby so I was scared of her being behind but the staff's teamwork and support has ensured that my child is up to speed with the rest of the children and isn’t

being left out or made to feel different. She absolutely loves it there, staff are so friendly and welcoming and the nursery in general is a clean calm environment, making me feel secure and a sense of relief when drooping her off as I know she is safe and well looked after, can’t praise this nursery enough!

Reply from Joanne Burke, Manager at Ladybirds Neighbourhood Nursery

Thank you so much for such an amazing review, we are so proud of what our team provide and how they strive to make our nursery a perfect place to learn and grow for your daughter and all of her friends.

Overall Experience

I couldn't be more happy with the whole team at Brookvale Nursery. My older boy attended preschool there for less than a year before going to school and was so well prepared that the transition didn't cause any stress. I have my second boy who started in babies and is now in the toddler room. Every

day he is learning new things and honestly having the time of his life there. He loves going in the morning and is just running into the room with a smile. Now we expect our third boy and I am confident that when he is ready to start his journey in nursery, the team at Brookvale will take all necessary steps to support us and the baby for a smooth settle.

Reply from Amanda Herd, Nursery Manager at Brookvale Nursery

Thank you for your lovely comments. It's been a pleasure to watch your children grow and develop and we look forward to welcoming the new arrival soon.

Overall Experience

I'd like to express my sincere gratitude and sheer thanks to all the staff, my little girl has settled amazingly since September and I can't thank you all enough for all the time, support, acknowledgements and messages of response keeping me up to date with her time at nursery and the constant reassurance

the girls give me when she was first starting and always reassuring me being a single worried mum. It's a relief seeing her go to the girls and the smile on her face and how happy she is when I leave her now, just shows how settled she is and feels safe. She loves it and since moving into the toddler room she is just thriving in every way and aspect. I'm looking forward to watching her grow with all the staff's support and encouragement Thank you from the bottom of my heart you ladies and gents are fabulous.

Reply from Amanda Herd, Nursery Manager at Brookvale Nursery

Thank you for your lovely comments. We always try to offer support where we can, we understand that parenting is not an easy job and that leaving your child with others means developing trusting relationships. We are so thankful that you trust us to care for your child.

Overall Experience

My little girl started the nursery in September 2023, and since being there, her development has been amazing, they have helped her through her speech as she wasn't speaking much before starting and also interacting with other people and children. They are very welcoming and very informative on the

day she has had when it comes to driving or picking up my daughter.

Reply from Amanda Herd, Nursery Manager at Brookvale Nursery

We pride ourselves on making children's communication development a priority, as this is the foundation of all other learning. We are very pleased to hear that your child has made such good progress in such a short period of time and we are sure that this will have a positive impact on her learning as a whole. Thank you for taking the time to comment on our setting.

Amazing nursery! My daughter is always happy there and excited to go. She's learnt many things since joining that I haven't taught her myself! Staff are always kind and are very easy to contact. They also will contact me if she is upset going in to let me know she's okay and send pictures, which helps

a lot as an anxious parent. Couldn't ask for a better experience!

Reply from Amanda Herd, Nursery Manager at Brookvale Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to review our setting. It's great to know that you feel your child is making good progress and learning lots of new things in nursery. We like to feel we are here for parents too and understand it can be difficult to leave children, especially if they are upset, so it's also good to hear that you feel communication between nursery and parents works well and helps you feel reassured.

My daughter is in the preschool room and absolutely loves it, she goes in every day so happy to be there, when she’s not in nursery she’s counting down the days to when she is back in. When I pick her up she says she’s had the best day ever, she’s come on so much with her speech and things since attending

this nursery. All the staff are so lovely and welcoming and go above and beyond, my little boy is also in the baby room sometimes and again couldn’t thank the staff enough, very loving and caring towards my little boy and also make sure he’s okay when he gets upset because he’s not with me. Lovely environment and lots to do for the children.

This is my second time around with my child going from toddlers to preschool in this setting done, and both times I could not thank the staff enough for how amazing they have been with my children. My two children are completely different, one outgoing very loud and quite difficult, the other quite

shy, social but only on their ques, after coming here they both were and are ready for school. Amazing nursery, amazing staff and incredibly friendly too. Thank you for everything you have all done for my children.

My son has been attending Ladybirds since he was 1.5 years old; he's now 2.5 and absolutely loves it. He has learned so much with the support of the staff. All the staff are lovely, friendly and helpful, and the children love them. The rooms are great, and the staff change the themes every few weeks

so the children have something new and fresh to learn about. They get plenty of fruit and veg at snack time, which I love, and it's helped my son explore foods, and now he is not a fussy eater.

Reply from Joanne Burke, Manager at Ladybirds Neighbourhood Nursery

Thank you so much for your review; we are so pleased to hear that you are so happy with what we provide for your son at our nursery. We are happy that we have been able to help him explore new foods at snacktimes with us too.
