Overall Experience

Our daughter started at Apricot preschool in Jan2025 and from the settling in days till now we've been so happy with the care. The team clearly love what they do and have a very good relationship with the kids. The space is lovely and we love how large an outdoors space the kids have, they go outside

multiple times a day. The other major point is the communication. The team proactively provides a lot of feedback on the activities and mood during the day, also the standard feedback on food, nappies etc and we get a photo (or sometimes more) per day which helps a lot with feeling comfortable that our kid is having a good day taken care of.
Thanks to the whole team and a special thanks to tow of the ladies for showing so much care to our daughter!

Reply from Hannah, Marketing Business Partner at Apricot Day Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so glad your daughter has settled in well and that you appreciate the care, outdoor space, and regular updates. Your kind words mean a lot to our team-thank you!

Overall Experience

Apricot, both the nursery and Pre-school are excellent. Both our children have been through and we've seen all staff and rooms. Our youngest is currently in the pre school 1 room. The managers, and the whole team are so caring and supportive of the kids and of us as parents. I especially rate the diversity

of food, and the activities. Over the past year and a bit, the thought going into the early years education has come on a lot, and more external activities such as baby zumba and sports have been introduced.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Apricot Day Nursery & Pre-School

We're so happy to read that both your children have had a positive experience with us. It's wonderful to know that the care, diversity of activities, and focus on early years education our team is dedicated to delivering is making a difference to your family.

Overall Experience

My son has been at The Old Station Nursery for nearly 2 years - the care, support and joy I see at that Nursery everyday is wonderful to see. There is no way I could teach him what they teach him in nursery to help with his development, and he eats better than I do! Since moving house, I could move

him to a nursery closer to home, that thought has never crossed my mind due to the bond he has with the nursery and the wonderful staff that work there. They don't just look out for your children, they look out for you as parents. Cannot praise the team enough.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Granta Park

We're thrilled to hear that your son has had such a positive experience with us over the past two years. It means the world to us that not only does he enjoy his time with us, but that you also feel supported as parents. Building strong bonds with children and their families is something we truly value, and we're so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of your son's development.

So pleased with this nursery, staff are so friendly and welcoming. My son struggles with drop off time but there's always someone there to give him a cuddle and offer some toast! The staff really care and are very accommodating, always very quick to respond to emails and queries I may have.
They do

such a variety of meals and activities for the children. Just had my second child and already registering him to join this nursery when my maternity leave ends!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Sunhill Day Nursery Fen Drayton

Knowing how the team has supported you with drop-offs to make your son feel comfortable is terrific. We care about each child and their family, so it's great to know our efforts are making a difference. Congratulations on the arrival of your second child; we look forward to welcoming your newest addition to the nursery!

Really love Fen Drayton nursery. The staff are always friendly, positive and welcoming and my daughter loves it there. My only negative comments are that the building is a bit tired and there's a steady - if understandable - turnover of staff.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Sunhill Day Nursery Fen Drayton

We're so happy to hear your daughter loves her time with us. We appreciate your thoughts on the building and staff turnover and will continue to work on improvements.

Cannot fault this nursery, the staff are all lovely and helpful. My daughter only started in January and is showing signs of needing additional help.

Our little boy has been at Apricot Day Nursery for 9 months. I love hearing about all the activities he has done and things he has learned. They have changed their toys/equipment a few times so there is usually something new. The staff are also great when I have a concern about my child, and helping

with skills he needs to work on.

Since my daughter joined in September 2024, she has really flourished in her personality and learning. She comes home saying new things that's she's learnt at nursery. All the staff are so lovely and friendly.
They always do special activities to mark various holidays and send my daughter home with

Cards she's made for Christmas or valentines. She has made some really good friends and it's so nice to see her growing in a safe and fun environment

Wonderful Nursery with Caring Staff.
I can't recommend The Old Station Nursery Granta Park enough! From the moment we walked in, we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated to each child's growth and well-being. My child has flourished in their care,

developing confidence, social skills, and a real love for learning.
The activities are creative and engaging, and I love how they encourage curiosity and independence. The communication with parents is also fantastic - I always feel informed and reassured about my child's day. It's clear that the team goes above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment.

My son has been at Apricot Preschool since June and he absolutely loves it. All the staff are fantastic, so friendly and caring. The support I have received for my son has been second to none. They recently received a makeover with lots of new toys and resources so the setting itself is lovely and full

of loads of activities in which they do many different things every day. I love the outdoor area, it's the biggest garden I've seen after viewing various settings previously. They constantly update the portal so you know what's been going on including pictures and development updates. Would recommend it to anyone.
