Overall Experience

It is clear to see once your child attends Queens Baby Nursery why it has been awarded outstanding by Ofsted. But locally, its reputation precedes it. Unfortunately I have experienced other nurseries in the area prior to my son attending Queens, and if I could go back and make my decision again I would

send my child to Queens every single time. When you drop your little one off, to when you pick them up, the warm and caring staff make you feel like your most precious asset is safe, which I can tell you from experience is such a relief. Not only that, they are well fed, and incredibly well stimulated with such a variety of activities. This nursery really does tick all the boxes and I am so thankful to all the staff who have been amazing.

Overall Experience

I love this nursery. My oldest child has recently left for school and has been so happy, confident and well-prepared during the years at Queens. My youngest is still at the nursery site and will move to preschool early next year. Without exception, the staff have been wonderful, caring, engaging and

fun. There are lots of great activities and trips. The little ones are nurtured and supported to settle. The older ones are well prepared for school. Nursey's comms and updates are great. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else.

Both of my children went to Queen's Baby Nursery, they absolutely love it and I can't thank the staff enough, they really care and the quality of care they gave to my children is phenomenal and I am very grateful.

Overall Experience

My son was so sad to leave Queens Baby Nursery - and my daughter felt just the same two years prior!
The team are so warm and engaging with the children; they have a unique dedication to nurturing the early years.
I felt so at ease to see my children head into the nursery door each morning, and not

need to look back. It really is a home-from-home.
The manager and the whole team are like a second family to us. As a parent, I always felt supported, through developmental stages and important milestones like potty training.
I would (and do) highly recommend the ursery to new parents in the area.

Overall Experience

Absolutely brilliant nursery! All of the staff are amazing, so helpful, patient and friendly. They took the time to reassure me as a mum when I was worried about my child settling in. They gave him so much love, care and confidence. He thoroughly enjoyed his time at Queens Baby Nursery and I would highly

recommend it! The food is so nice too, lots of healthy options and variety. And they do lots of fun activities with the kids. I just wish he had been longer there so he could have had more fun! It's such a cute, homely nursery with a nice outdoor space. The key worker is an outstanding key worker, very dedicated and caring in her role. Always there to support the parents and family as well as the child. My son loves all of the staff a lot and made some friends and lots of good memories there too!

We have had an amazing experience with Queens Baby Nursery. Our daughter has loved her time there - we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for her to develop over the past 12 months. The staff are all brilliant and have taken such good care of her. There are always so many activities and learning

experiences and we are always kept updated on what has been happening throughout the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better nursery.

It has been a pleasure looking after your daughter and seeing her grow into the independent little person she has become.

We really miss Queens Baby Nursery! Our daughter was so loved by all the staff. We would drop her off in the morning knowing she was in a loving, caring, and safe place. We didn't want her time there to end. It was homely for her. The activities were so varied, the staff got really creative with ideas

and really knew her personality and needs. Thank you for teaching our daughter so much and looking after her so nicely. She is a real chatterbox and an independent almost two-year-old. She was ready for her step up to Queens Nursery with her friends thanks to you all.

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Queens Nursery for almost a year. He really enjoys his time here and is always happy to be dropped off and comes out with a smile on his face when we collect him. The staff are brilliant and in particular his keyworker has been outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure

his needs are met and communicates well with us. The other team members in his room are equally fantastic and he often speaks of them fondly when he is at home. The activities both at the nursery and outings to the forest, local community etc. Are always well thought out and inclusive. We enjoy coming along to the nursery when they have activities to which parents are invited. It’s lovely to see the nursery set up and to see how your child interacts amongst their peers and the staff. Our son has multiple severe food allergies so the care he receives is of utmost importance to us. The nursery has taken part in specialist allergy training and has good allergy policies in place.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery 2 times a week for almost a year now despite having an alternative free full-time childcare option to me and it was the best decision we ever made.
They are a well run nursery with brilliant staff and I am so impressed by the activities they have going on for

the children to aid their early years development. For instance, this week they brought in animals from a local farm for the children to interact with and feed. My son loved it.
Now that they have the new Pre-School on Princes Road, they have additional outdoor space for the children to enjoy which was my only concern when I viewed the nursery (however I do understand this is a limitation of the area and the location is key for us).
Highly recommend - the care is exceptional, my son has settled in so well and enjoys everyday he attends.

Overall Experience

I've now had the pleasure of having two children go to Baby Nursery. Both children have had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Personally, I believe they have developed into confident, social children partly due to the nurturing and structure provided by the team at Queens.
The staff are

amazing and stable with most of the personnel remaining the same over the three years I have known them. I will be extremely sad to say goodbye. They have been an important part of our early years and we can't recommend them enough.

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Queen's Nursery for nearly two years since he was 11 months old - starting at the baby nursery. He absolutely loves it and we couldn't be happier! He gets to experience a wide range of activities, from weekly yoga and phonics to excursions to the forest and into the local

community. The staff are truly excellent - professional, highly skilled, dedicated and caring - our son adores them. He runs in every morning, excited for what the day will bring.
We are very pleased with the communication we receive from the staff; activities, progress, food, naps etc. Are all documented on the app and we get an in-person run-down of the day too from key workers at pickup time.
We are extremely happy with Queens Nursery and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it - Thank you to the staff and management for giving our son such a wonderful experience.

Reply from Kayleigh McAllister, Manager at Queens Nursery & Pre School

Thank you for the lovely comments. We are delighted your son enjoys the sessions such as yoga and your excellent key worker.

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery and has been thriving since starting at the beginning of the year. She even talks about her teachers at home.
The nursery offer lots of extra activities, she has specialist sessions every day and has lots of opportunities for going on adventures outside

the nursery.
The staff team are always so friendly, approachable and professional and listen to anything I have to say.
I couldn’t rate it any higher!

Our daughter has been attending Queens Pre-School throughout this year, and it has been a fabulous experience for her. She has grown in such a positive way.
She smiles a great big smile every time she arrives there, and clearly feels safe and cared for in an environment that she enjoys being in and

learns a lot.
Can't recommend the place enough.

My son attends Queens Nursery full time and I cannot fault his care in any way. He takes part in weekly French lessons and now uses some French in his vocabulary. There are multiple parent events monthly, which are well-planned and allow families to mix and build relationships. The manager is always

at the end of the phone and email with help with anything. One of the room leaders is exceptional and my son adores her.

Overall Experience

As first-time parents, we were so nervous about sending our daughter to nursery, especially so young, but everyone at Queens Baby Nursery was wonderful at helping her settle in and calming our nerves too! She came on leaps and bounds during the time she was there thanks to the high level of attentiveness,

encouragement and commitment from all of the staff, and the variety of activities and experiences they offer (which include French and Yoga!).
I found the staff to be incredibly nurturing and caring, and they built a strong bond with my daughter, who loved every minute of her time there. She was so sad to leave but graduated to Queen's pre-school nursery. I would recommend Queens Baby Nursery without hesitation.

Overall Experience

Queens Baby Nursery is the best nursery. I was apprehensive at first, but my mind was quickly put at peace from the first day after seeing how caring and knowledgeable the staff are. My son absolutely loves the nursery and he has settled very well. The staff are attentive, dedicated and loving. My son's

speech has improved significantly since attending and in a short period of time. He particularly loves lunch and all his snacks.
The manager is a pleasure to speak to and always happy to help. The app is particularly great as I can monitor my son's food consumption and all of his activities. Do not hesitate! I cannot sing their praises enough. Highly recommend the nursery.
