Overall Experience

My daughter started at Hydesville Tower Nursery in January 2025. After a little unsettling start, she now absolutely loves going to nursery. The staff there are genuinely caring and supportive and dedicated to providing a nurturing environment. The head of the nursery is fantastic.
We get daily updates

via the app with photos and videos showing what the children have been learning, all of which are enjoyable to watch.
The nursery's approach to learning through play is particularly impressive.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Hydesville Nursery is the only one I considered to start my children's education. Nothing else would do. It offers the very best start possible, teaching manners, sharing, patience, kindness, and empathy, alongside the academic teaching. Small year groups was a major factor, guaranteeing individual

attention and making it clearer and easier to see if additional support is needed at a much earlier point than in a larger setting.

Reply from Sarah Dallow, Social Media and Communications Coordinator at Hydesville Tower School

We're so pleased that Hydesville Nursery was your first choice and that our nurturing environment, small class sizes and focus on both academics and life skills have made a difference. It's wonderful to have your family as part of our community!

Overall Experience

My daughter transitioned from a daycare setting to Hydesville Tower School nursery at 3 years old and the difference was immediate.
The teachers are always friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are well presented and immaculate. We feel reassured knowing she is in a secure environment surrounded

by trained and compassionate professionals.
The nursery embraces the all-through aspect of the school by having a set uniform, a curriculum and simple homework assignments for weekends.
My daughter has grown in confidence and inquisitiveness, and being an only child at the time, her speech and communication skills were markedly improved. Following her progress on the app, it is evident that the approach is tailored for each individual and the daily updates allow us to continue the same learning and play at home.
My daughter will find the transition to reception easy, due to how much closer this is to a school setting than a traditional daycare or alternative nursery.

Reply from Sarah Dallow, Social Media and Communications Coordinator at Hydesville Tower School

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so happy to hear how well your daughter has settled into our nursery and how much she has grown in confidence and communication. Our team works hard to create a warm, supportive environment, so it's great to know you feel reassured and engaged in her learning journey. We're excited to continue supporting her as she moves into Reception and beyond. Thank you for being part of the Hydesville family!

Overall Experience

Hydesville Tower Nursery has been nothing short of transformative for my 3-year-old. Over the past year, I've watched my child blossom into a confident, curious learner under their expert care. The staff's dedication to creating a nurturing environment while following early years curriculum guidelines

is evident in everything they do.
The nursery's approach to learning through play has particularly impressed me. Their language skills have improved dramatically and they've developed strong friendships with their peers.
What sets this nursery apart is its commitment to individual development.
The facility itself is spotlessly clean, secure and well-organised. Nutritious meals and snacks are prepared on-site and they've been accommodating of dietary requirements.
My child's increased independence, social confidence and early academic skills are a testament to the nursery's outstanding quality of care.

Amazing!
My little boy loves going to nursery and all the staff since he has started have helped him settle in really well. One lady is magic she helped so much with toilet training. I feel I never have to worry when he is there.
I am really pleased with all the activities the children do especially

the outdoor learning.

Overall Experience

My son started in January 2023 and I must say Hydesville is the best nursery. I have seen nothing but day-to-day support and progress throughout my son’s learning and throughout his growth being at Hydesville. Hydesville is a safe, friendly and a caring environment. Hydesville School is a very warm

welcoming school. Provides rich curriculum, I really enjoy seeing my little ones' daily updates on the app. Hydesville is a truly wonderful nursery where the children are cared for in a kind and nurturing environment. The teachers and headmaster are all fantastic. I would highly recommend Hydesville.

They set the children clear goals and communicated this well with the parents to support this at home. Regular updates on the app to ensure we knew what our child had done that day.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending here since September and I’m really able to see the difference from her previous nursery to Hydesville in terms of the dedication the staff put into making sure my child is being stimulated with the skills and knowledge that she needs to be on track and above, so that

she is already a step ahead for when the begins reception. All the teachers have lovely warm characters which really makes me feel at peace when sending my child into the school. I can feel confident that my child and all the other kids are being treated equally when together.
The school also always makes the effort to make sure the children have lots of exciting activities to be part of throughout all the terms, which allows the parents to be involved in sometimes which I feel builds a close community between us all.

Overall Experience

My child began nursery in September 2023. It took a while for him to settle, however, my son seems to have found his routine now in his new setting. He thoroughly enjoys nursery and drop-offs are a lot easier than they have been at any other nursery. He is clearly building a good relationship with his

key worker and other members of staff. Staff have offered support when needed and communicate well with feedback if any concerns or requests are raised. Security measures are in place during drop-off and collections, which is comforting to know that with good communication your child remains safe at collection times. I can see the progress my child has made just how he wants to learn how to write now. He tries really hard to practice his writing and complete homework. He loves the activities that happen throughout week, especially Thursday and Friday's dance and forest Fridays. This is something my son loves to do and evident through tapestry that this remains true.

Hydesville Nursery is fantastic! After viewing other nurseries we decided on Hydesville my daughter who started the nursery at 3 had only been in my care since birth, I was apprehensive about leaving my daughter, but Hydesville is brilliant. The staff update the app which puts your mind at ease seeing

my little one having so much fun. Not only do the children have child-initiated play but education masked as fun is incorporated. My daughter thrived in all areas and became so independent whilst at the nursery. The staff are phenomenal in particular my daughter's key worker was the best teacher in the world. The nursery is a fantastic setting for preparing the children for reception. I look forward to sending my second child to the nursery in the near future.

My son has been at this nursery since September. I can honestly say that I couldn’t feel happier about leaving him here. He enjoys nursery thoroughly, loves all of his teachers and even loves the food!
The manager and her team are honestly just amazing. My son has come on leaps and bounds since joining.

I have always been very apprehensive about leaving him anywhere, but I am so happy that he loves nursery so much.
The activities that they do at the nursery are so well thought out and aligned to a very stringent curriculum. I would be more than happy to recommend this nursery to anyone!

Overall Experience

Hydesville Nursery is nothing short of outstanding.
The children are well cared for and the staff are all caring and competent.
The manager in particular is loved by all the children and is a fantastic head. She deals with any issue (however small) with diligence and care. She really is the shining

star and all of the kids feel comfortable and happy in her care.
The children get a fantastic head start with their learning. My son had a fantastic foundation-level understanding of reading, writing and numeracy that shone through as he entered reception.
Other benefits are forest school, and the school lunches provided by the school chefs who provide nutritious and well-balanced food and snacks.
The children attend in uniform and the nursery day mirrors the school day which prepares the children well for the transition to school and fosters independence.
Overall, a completely positive experience and I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to other parents.

At Hydesville Nursery they aim to achieve the best for their students. A great communication network between teachers and parents. Always updating us through an app what my child is up to during school hours. We as parents are involved as much as the kids. The care and development of my child is outstanding.

At Hydesville they do a variety of activities and my child always talks about what they have done that day. The teachers are caring and passionate and are very supportive and understanding towards my child’s educational needs. I always feel 100% confident that my child is well looked after.

All my children have attended Hydesville Nursery dates ranging from 2016 to present, and I can honestly say this nursery great. My children settled in well right from when they started, the older two thrived really well from their time spent at the nursery, and youngest loves going to nursery.
The

environment at the nursery is brilliant, it’s clear to see all the members of staff have a real passion for ensuring the children have the best time whilst in nursery, they offer a wide variety of activities which are only fun for the children but also prepare them academically for reception.
Staff ensure they update your children’s progress daily via the app the nursery has.
