Overall Experience

My toddler has been going to Elan since January 2024 when he was one years old and is having a wonderful nursery experience.

*Staff are attentive and professional, taking a genuine interest in the children and their personalities and needs.

*The facilities are very modern and clean following

a successful refurbishment. There are an abundance of role play and development activities/toys available and they utilise the studio for dedicated physical and educational activities.

*Outdoor space is constantly utilised at Elan throughout the seasons with their own: enclosed and functional garden; park visits; visits to the supermarket; and visits to watch the trains which my toddler adores!

*The educational and nutritional programmes at Elan are fantastic and children are engaged positively in a fun, consistent, learning environment.

*Communications are made regularly and questions are answered promptly.

*I would highly recommend Elan based on our positive experience.

Everyone at Elan is so friendly and kind, they do such a wonderful job of looking after my daughter. She's so happy to go there every time and I feel very confident dropping her off knowing she'll have a fun day and be well cared for. The activities are great and the updates and observations on the

app are such a lovely way of staying connected. Thank you everyone!

A very well-managed and caring environment. Our son is thriving at Elan and we couldn't be happier at the care and attention all aspects of his learning and development receive. Outside clubs offering sports and yoga within the nursery day add so much to the variety of the activities.

Elan Nursery H.H. is brilliant.
Our daughter has really developed at nursery.
Really developed social skills.
She loves nursery, on days she isnt in, she sometimes pulls her nursery gilet and backback standing by the front door to go to nursery.
The staff are so lovely and we look forwards to

hearing what shes been up to each day.
Thank you!

Overall Experience

Our child has been at Elan since they were 10 months old and is now 3.5 years. She has always been very happy and settled, and excited to go in. The staff are all very welcoming and nurturing. Sometimes the communication or organisation isn't 100% but overall it's good and the management team do their

best. Overall for us how happy our child is and the progress they have made here is what counts and is most important.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Elan for nearly 6 months and she absolutely loves it. She came from a childminders and all the staff made her transition to a busier preschool environment really easy. We can see she's come on leaps and bounds in terms of her confidence since attending the preschool and

often surprises us with things she's learnt! Overall we are really happy with her whole experience.

My child started Elan Preschool in January and absolutely loves it. The day is jam packed full of activities and it's lovely to have at least daily updates on the app of what they've been doing. The staff are excellent. Very warm and friendly and mostly importantly, very engaging with the children.

My daughter doesn't notice I'm there when I come to collect her she's so engrossed in what's going on! It's lovely to see!

Both my children have been through Elan Nursery and Pre-School and it has been wonderful to see how well cared for and loved they are in each setting. The staff go above and beyond for them, know them really well and every time I go to pick them up they are engrossed playing with friends or doing some

creative or exciting activity or other. There is nowhere else I would send them.

Overall Experience

We're so grateful for the amazing care our son receives at this nursery. The staff are incredibly friendly, nurturing and create a warm, home-like atmosphere that helps him feel secure and happy. We've noticed the strong bonds the staff have built with him; it's clear they genuinely care about his well-being

and are dedicated to supporting his development.
One of the standout features for us has been the staff's willingness to use signing to support his communication skills, which aligns with what we do at home and has made a real difference in helping him express his needs and connect with others in his setting and at home.
Communication between home and the nursery is excellent, with regular updates and quick responses to any questions or concerns we have. We feel fully supported and highly recommend this wonderful nursery to other parents!

My son has been with Elan since he was 10 months old. He is now almost 4 and has absolutely thrived there. He has SENCO needs and the nursery has been with us every step of the way recognising our child's needs and partnering with us to agree and implement strategies that really help him. A special

shout-out to three ladies who have been brilliant.

Our boy absolutely loves going to Elan - he's excited to walk in, and always comes away tired but happy. The staff are caring and friendly and always make sure to communicate effectively in person and via the app. They always treat the children as individuals and get to know them really well. We trust

them to have our child's best interest in mind at all times. The nursery is well organised, and the facilities are recently refurbished and excellent. Many of the leadership team have worked in other roles in the nursery, and have a brilliant overview of how the nursery works best. The variety of activities and food provided is really wonderful. I'd recommend Elan to anyone.

Elan has been fantastic for my son. He loves it there. It has recently been renovated and the facilities are great. The staff are nurturing and kind, and really skilled in supporting the children's development. The managers are lovely and approachable. My son loves all the activities they do, from playing

in the sandpit, running around the large studio room and going out to the park or to spot the trains at the nearby station. On that note, it is very helpful it is so close to the station for parents commuting by train.

Elan is a really great environment for children. The staff are really attentive and spend time getting to know each child and telling you about their day. My little boy has really developed since being here. His confidence has grown and he has a lovely little group of friends who all support each other.

He spends a lot of time playing outdoors and is always really excited to tell me about his day when I pick him up.

Elan Nursery is just outstanding. Our youngest has been attending the nursery since July and he loves every day that he spends there. The staff are so kind and caring and really to get to know both the child and their families, therefore creating a real close-knit environment for all involved. The range

of activities is brilliant, as is the food. The little day trips are fantastic too.
Overall the level of care at Elan is second to none and makes us feel very lucky that both of our kids attend Elan (our eldest is now at the preschool) and have benefited from the high standards. Thanks, Elan!
