Overall Experience

I was lucky enough for my older son to attend sandhills 10 years ago and it was always an amazing nursery back then. My daughter started nursery in September 24 and there was a lot of familiar faces from 10 years ago. We was lucky enough to attend the baby and toddler sessions originally and it felt

homely and all the staff were lovely so when it come to choosing a nursery it was a no brainer. My daughter's always happy to go in and always has big smiles when shes picked up. Shes come on so much since starting and is growing an amazing personality. The app that parents have access to is brilliant it is always nice to see every session what shes up to and i must say theres always something fun going on. It's also good to see how she has been through the day. Thank you so much to everyone that is involved in the children's care keep being amazing.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Sandhills Day Nursery Boston since she was 9 months old and she is now two and a half. The staff are always so welcoming and it is such a positive atmosphere you can really see how well the staff get on with each other too. My daughter has been meeting all her milestones

since starting nursery and her speech and confidence has significantly progressed. The staff pour so much love and time into the children and have excellent communication skills always passing on messages and letting me know how my daughter has been for the day. One thing that amazes me is how they took into consideration the rising costs and to help families they made everything free with the new funding including healthy meals throughout the day, nappies, wipes and suncream. Thank you so much for being such an amazing nursery.

Overall Experience

My son started a nursery in October 2024. From start to call a nursery and book a viewing it was easy and friendly accomodate, i was impressed how nice and neat the nursery was and how they treating children's with so much compassion and at first i was anxious to leave him in nursery, but now I know

that he is in good hands and I don't need to worry that he will be having bad day. Even he started to sleep in as usually he didn't. Highly recommend, because friendly environment and very flexible if you need adjust the times or change the dates, overall can say you made me less stressed as I know he is with the professionals. Thank you for everything what you doing and keep it up!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Sandhills since she was 11 months old. She has just turned 2 so has moved up to the older class, Robins. My daughter can be a little shy but she has took to her new room lovely. Her keyworker and all of the ladies across the nursery I've come into contact with are lovely.

Putting my little girl into a nursery was always a nerve-racking thing for me to do but I've never had any issues and trust them with my little one. She's always happy when I pick her up and has always had a great day. The app is a great tool they use so I can see how my daughter is getting on throughout the day with notes and pictures, it even tells me what she's eaten. Fab nursery. So pleased I chose it.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Sandhills Day Nursery Boston

Trusting in your childcare provider is so important, and we are delighted to read how reassured you feel leaving your daughter in our care. We love to share details of the activities we have been up to throughout the day, as well as key developmental milestones which make a great home/nursery partnership.

Overall Experience

Sandhills are an amazing nursery/pre school setting. My little boy has been there almost a year and he's already getting the help his previous nursery couldn't help with. His little sister will start in January and I'm already looking forward to her starting. The staff are absolutely fantastic in their

roles and fantastic people aswell. They help with any question big or small, they don't make you feel silly. Instead they make you feel heard. And help with every aspect of your child's needs. Honestly cannot thank them enough. I often recommend others to Sandhills as I honestly and truly believe they are one of the best if not the best nursery setting in Boston.

Reply from Jo Bamforth, Marketing Manager at Sandhills Day Nursery Boston

Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting us with your little ones! It's wonderful to hear that your son is getting the support he needs and that you feel confident in our team. We're delighted to welcome his little sister in January and look forward to being part of her journey too.

Overall Experience

This preschool is wonderful. When my son started going here he was 2 years old. The ladies always took tender care of him, he comes back home so happy. He cried many times when I had to take him home (he didn't want to come back with me). It's wonderful to watch him take the next steps in life, gain

new skills and experiences. This is a wonderful kindergarten for children. I recommend it to every friend. The ladies give their whole hearts to the children. I thank them for that.

I was quite nervous about my son starting nursery as he was so young but all of the ladies within his room have made us feel so reassured, he does lots of exciting activities to suit his age and development and they have excellent communication with us about his ever-changing routine, eating, milk and

sleeps. Couldn't feel comfortable leaving him there.

Deciding to enrol your child in a nursery can feel daunting, but we aim to make children feel safe and happy in our care and reassure parents through regular communication. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

Overall Experience

My two sons recently started attending Sandhills, and I was quite apprehensive at first with them never attending a nursery or childcare setting before, as most parents are - but honestly I had nothing to worry about at all! The staff at Sandhills are all amazing with my boys - they show so much compassion

and care towards them and encourage them so much with their learning! I am so confident that they will flourish while at Sandhills and come on leaps and bounds. From the beginning, the staff have been completely supportive of me and them during this transition and they treat every child as an individual and recognise they all have different needs- this is so significant for their development. My boys' key workers, in particular, have been brilliant and very thorough- thank you for all of your help and dedication to my boys, I'm so grateful they have you and trust you completely!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Sandhills Day Nursery Boston

Enrolling your little one in nursery can feel overwhelming, but parents can be assured that we ensure their children feel safe and loved in our setting. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

Overall Experience

It would be impossible to ask for a better group of people to support your children. They've taken the time to build up a positive relationship with my son - so much thought and positivity goes into the care he receives each day and it's the reason my partner and I feel so comfortable when we leave

our son there for the day. Even when he was poorly, the staff continued to be an incredible source of support. We genuinely cannot thank the staff enough and all I can say to parents/carers considering this nursery is to at least arrange a visit. I suspect once you visit all of this will be evident as soon as the staff introduce themselves.

Reply from Joanne Wright, Chief Marketing Officer at Sandhills Day Nursery Boston

Yes its definitely important to go along for a visit to get a feel for the nursery. Thank you for sharing.

I can not fault this nursery at all, the staff are outstanding they all make me feel so comfortable dropping off and picking up my child. I get a full handover when I pick my daughter up and I love the updates throughout the day on the app. My daughter gets excited to go which makes it easier to drop

off. The development of my child has come on leaps and bounds too. I’d recommend this nursery to anyone. Thank you all especially the staff member who is the bestest ever!

Sandhills is a great nursery. My son attended in 2019 and it really brought out his speech, and confidence and helped him gain the skills he needed to start primary school. My daughter attends now and loves going to nursery. I was given lots of support I'm potty training my daughter which really helped

and I am always kept up to date on how she's progressing and what she's doing. I feel at ease knowing my child is being well looked after by a lovely bunch of ladies.

I am really pleased I chose to send my son to this nursery. He absolutely loves going in every morning and has built a great relationship with all of the staff. I’m comfortable leaving him for the day knowing he will be well taken care of and have lots of fun. His development has come on a lot since

he first started nursery and it’s been such a good environment for him.
