Overall Experience

Outstanding nursery, my oldest son went from 9 months old and my youngest son is currently there now, over 7 years the standards have 10/10. The staff are a pleasure, the communication with staff on drop off and pick ups is always 100%. Nothing is ever too much when asked. The nursery space is always

used well and the kids are always out in the outdoor space. The manager runs the nursery at a very high standard and is always on hand to help she's doing a fabulous job. Would highly recommend to any parents/ guardians looking for a local nursery. My both kids over 7 years have loved it and as a parent have always been put at ease when leaving them.

Overall Experience

My daughter has enjoyed every bit of her stay here and she comes home happy. She is a very active child and the nursery gives her enough activities to keep her busy. The staff are so wonderful and are quite flexible for working parents. If you are looking for a messy nursery that would allow your child

paint, draw, dance, listen to music, engage in outdoor activities etc then this is the right one for you.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending nursery here for almost 4 years and has enjoyed every minute. The nursery is small which gives off a warm inviting environment. Due to it being a small nursery all the children are very close and have built good friendships & the parents of the children have also bonded through

trips and nursery events. My son has had some additional needs during his time at nursery which was been managed well from the manager, the different keyworkers he has had, along with other staff at the nursery. He will be leaving to attend school this year and will leave with lots of fun memories and friendships he has built during his time at the nursery.

Overall Experience

My two children look forward to going to nursery as they always have plenty of fun. The continuity of staff is very good compared to other nurseries, and although they only have a relatively small garden, they make up for it by taking them out to halls, parks, libraries, on walks and to a local green

space every week. I would highly recommend the nursery to any parent, the quality of care is exceptional.

Overall Experience

It's a scary thought handing over your baby/toddler over to people you don't really know and going by reviews but the staff in this nursery really are the ones you want. My little one loves this nursery he's been going to for just over a year, he had trouble eating and drinking at the start but the

managers put me at ease letting me know they would work with his team to get him where he needed to be and over time this did happen. The staff are what makes this nursery great sending updates throughout the day with the app letting me know what he's eating and also sending pictures of all activities he gets up to. They provide healthy snacks and a variety of warm lunches from a company outside the business, I never expected to hear a 2-year-old eating a fish curry. I can't fault one thing about this nursery.

Reply from Nicola Hamilton, Operational Area Manager at Nursery Times by the River

Thank you for your lovely feedback, it is very important to us that when you choose our nursery all parents/carers and children feel welcomed as part of our Nursery Times family. Management and all staff work together to ensure all children's individual needs are met and this is updated regularly on our app throughout the day.

Overall Experience

My son is thriving within this nursery, he goes in happily and has lots of fun. He is offered frequent opportunities to play outdoors and his learning is lead by him. He has been attending the nursery for over 1.5 years and has had the same key worker for nearly the whole time which is great for me

as they have developed a good relationship and she has good understanding of his routines and communication preferences. Office staff are friendly and helpful and the manager is extremely supportive. The nursery asks for feedback frequently and takes suggestions on board, fostering an environment of continuous improvement. As a family we feel listened to and the nursery is a daily adventure for my son that enriches his experiences and social interaction. We will be staying to complete our preschool years here.

Overall Experience

My child has been in Nursery Times by the River since being a year old and we have kept her there at 3 years old and will continue until school age. Great nursery with caring and welcoming staff. Particularly two members of staff in particular they are absolutely fantastic with the children and really

give the impression they love their job. The whole team are so accommodating and understanding. Any issue has been minor and when reported it has been dealt with in a professional and quick manner, with management discussing with you over the phone or in person very quickly to get everything resolved. Children are definitely at their heart and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team to any existing or expecting parent.

My 3 year old son has been attending this nursery from 10 months old and honestly could not rate it high enough He is thriving and loves going in. The ladies in his room are fantastic and show so much care towards him, knowing what he loves and planning activities around this to help develop him. The

staff are all hardworking and such a fabulous team and my son just adores them, this takes the guilt away from leaving him to go to work. Have never had an issue in the time he has been there and would always recommend this nursery to others.

My child has been attending this nursery since she was a little under 1 year old and now due to start school this August. She loves it there and so do we as parents.

My child had a great time at Nursery Times by the River and the staff where amazing. She struggled to settle to start with and the Staff in the Playdays room done well with helping her become comfortable in the nursery and keeping us updated with how she was doing. When she moved into the PlaySchool

room they done amazing with continuing her development and gave regular updates about her day. Management team were were great with helping us organise split placement when we decided to also try a nursery closer to home.

Fantastic nursery. My youngest son has been going for over a year now and my eldest was in from 1 year old to 5 years old. We chose this nursery out of 3 others we went to see.
It just felt right, from the moment we walked in. Both my boys have absolutely thrived and my youngest will be there until

he starts school. All staff are amazing and very approachable. The nursery setting is great and the outdoor space is excellent. They also do yearly trips away to various local places, with parents and other siblings invited along too. Can't recommend Nursery Times by the River highly enough!

Nursery Times by the River has been absolutely brilliant these past 3 years. Both my children love the caring and enthusiastic staff, they're always learning something new and have always enjoyed all the well thought out activities as they learn through play. Staff are always super friendly and welcoming

and we love keeping track of what they're up to and what they've eaten during the day through the family app. Highly recommended.

All 3 of my children have attended Nursery Times by the River and I can honestly say the care and support they have given them all has been outstanding.
Communication has always been great, they have always worked with us as parents to make sure their needs where met and there's a genuine feeling of

I would and do recommend them to anyone looking for childcare.

We are very happy at how our son has settled. This is greatly thanks to the staff supporting him and getting to know him as an individual. He has a good routine throughout the day and engages well in a variety of learning experiences and has opportunities to play with engaging resources. He is offered

a variety of food and dietary requirements are well catered for.
Parents are kept up to date with the improvement plan and developments within the nursery. There are many opportunities for parental engagement and involvement in the learning journey of your child.
