Overall Experience

Garden House Nursery has been so supportive of my daughter's development. They provide a nurturing environment where their enthusiasm and care for their important work is really evident. It's clear they have really got to know her which was evident in the recent report on her progress we received but

is also clear when we drop her off and pick her up.
My daughter has so grown in confidence since attending and they were very supportive of her journey to walking as a late walker.

Reply from Stacey Mitchelson, Nursery Manager at The Garden House Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review, she's come on in leaps and bounds since starting and is a pleasure to have with us!

Overall Experience

The Garden House Nursery is a really lovely happy place to send your children. After struggling with settling in elsewhere my son flourished here, he made lots of friends and learnt a lot. I didn’t hesitate to send all my other children after the experience with him. They have all been incredibly happy

at nursery and loved the staff and activities they do. It is so reassuring to have total trust in the people who are caring for your children. I highly recommend Garden House.

Overall Experience

The staff at Garden House are absolutely wonderful. My daughter attends one day a week and struggles with being away from me, but she’s been in two rooms now since starting. All the staff have always gone above and beyond to help her settle in and are just brilliant with her. They always do lots of

fun activities, including lots of learning, and get plenty of time to play outside. The room is always clean and welcoming.

Thank you so much for the lovely comments - the staff in the room will be delighted to hear how happy you are!

All 3 of my children have attended Garden House and they have thrived as a result, the care, patience and attention from staff is amazing and I know my children are well looked after whilst ever they are at nursery. I’d recommend to anybody in the area looking for an outstanding nursery environment.

Overall Experience

We moved to the area from France six months ago with our sons. The youngest (3 years old) has been attending The Garden House Nursery four mornings a week. He arrived with no prior knowledge of English at all, nor any nursery experience. We appreciated very, very much that the staff working with him

chose to learn basic French to communicate with him! And we are delighted to see that in such a short amount of time, our son has started talking a bit in English, without any other teacher aside. The staff balanced perfectly the move from them talking French with him, to him starting to use English for his daily activities.
We also love how free the children are, and how much they can choose to play outside when they think the weather suits them.
Numerous activities are proposed, all well-thought and regularly rotating.
A really great experience that will give so nice memories of our son but also will give him so many fundamental skills, already so early in his life. Thank you all so much!

Reply from Kirsty Cook, Nursery Manager at The Garden House Nursery

His progress has been incredible and it's been amazing to be part of that. Thank you for such a lovely review -we love hearing how happy parents are!

Overall Experience

My 20-month-old son loves attending the Garden House Nursery. I know this because he is excited on our journey there, he walks in with confidence, his day is filled with doing things he enjoys, and he comes home happy, stimulated and well-fed. He adores the staff and frequently talks about them when

he is home. As a parent, I'm regularly updated with not only information about what he has eaten, sleeps, etc but also a description of what activities they are doing today and photo updates. I adore receiving these, and it means I can talk to him about his day when he is home. The staff go to such great lengths to create a varied, stimulating environment, with each week having a different theme and activities. I am regularly updated on my son's development from his key worker. The facilities are wonderful. Communication with the nursery is great. I can honestly say we couldn't be happier with our experience of the Garden House, and look forward to him attending in the years ahead!

Thank you so much for such a lovely review - it'll mean the world to the staff who love watching him grow and develop!

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at the garden house since age 1 when we both returned to work. They made the difficult transition to external childcare so much easier. All the staff we’ve spoken to are so caring, and our daughter now loves to go and talk about everyone in such an animated way. The activities

are great, meal times seem a very sociable situation and if you ever have a question the key workers are always happy to discuss at pick up or drop off or arrange a more convenient time. Couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thank you!

Both of my children have attended Garden House Nursery. The staff have always been attentive and supportive and my children made close bonds with them. Communication with parents is brilliant. Daily updates on the app including photos of different activities they’re up to and if you ever want to go

in for a meeting they make time for you asap.

Overall Experience

Our 18-month-old daughter has been attending Garden House since she was 1 year old. The staff in the Poohs and Roos room have been incredibly patient, kind and supportive as she's adjusted to life at nursery. They were happy to adjust to our daughter's schedule when she first started, which certainly

eased my worries as a first-time mum. We have loved watching her grow in confidence and develop new skills each week, all due in large part to her incredible nursery teachers. She is always happy and smiling when we pick her up, which is the most lovely thing to see as a parent when you're entrusting your child's care to strangers. We love receiving lots of updates and photos throughout the day on the App, so we're never left wondering how she's doing on a particular day. Lastly, we've been impressed with the themed weeks and curriculum, even in the baby room, and love that the staff manage to bring the children outside on most days. We're so glad we chose Garden House for our daughter!

Overall Experience

Garden House is a brilliant nursery, I would have no hesitation in recommending it. The staff are wonderful, (so friendly and welcoming) and the management is very approachable and always provides excellent comms. My child enjoys going and has built some lovely relationships with peers and staff members.

The drop-off and pick-ups are so easy and it’s so nice to get little updates from how their day was at the door as well as on the app with what they’ve been up to throughout the day. Staff regularly go above and beyond if there are queries/questions. They’re also great with mealtimes/snacks for any children with intolerances/allergies which is always peace of mind. An all round great nursery and I will be sad when my child moves up to school!

Reply from Kirsty Cook, Nursery Manager at The Garden House Nursery

Thank you so much for such a lovely review - the staff will be thrilled! They've loved having both the boys and will be sad to say farewell before school!

Overall Experience

My 2-year-old daughter is extremely happy here. I feel she is well cared for. I get thorough handovers via the app as well as verbal handovers at pick-up. The staff in Poohs and Roos as well as in Piglets rooms (my experience so far) pay close attention to detail and I feel they know my daughter really

well. She is very stimulated and learning a lot. She comes back home with new skills each week (I would love to say she has got this from her parents but unfortunately I cannot take credit). I have found it to be a very creative environment. They also get plenty of time playing outdoors in one of the two gardens. Above all else, my daughter feels safe and happy in the presence of the nursery staff/teachers. They are very well organised and respond to emails/phone calls quickly. Their app is fantastic and feels genuinely personalised most of the time which from other friends' experience is hard to achieve.

Reply from Kirsty Cook, Nursery Manager at The Garden House Nursery

Thank you so much for such wonderful comments - they will mean the world to the staff who love looking after your little one and watching her develop so quickly - it's a real privilege. Glad to hear that the app is beneficial too, - appreciate all the feedback to help us to learn what works well and what doesn't so we can continue to support our families as much as possible. Thank you for your support too - we are so grateful.

We really love the Garden House Nursery. My boys go twice a week and it is a highlight for them. They do so much great stuff and the staff are brilliant, both so warm and also very professional. The boys took a few weeks to settle, having spent much of their early life in lockdown, but the staff were

so good at welcoming them. Now they rush in eagerly every day!

This has been a fantastic nursery for us. The staff are all lovely and we have been very comfortable leaving our little boy in their care twice a week for the last three years. He always comes home happy. It’s a great environment with lots of outside space and they encourage the children to go outside

in all weather to play which I think is great. I definitely recommend the garden house nursery. Thank you so much.

Fantastic staff supporting children throughout their early years of development. A vast range of activities organised on a daily basis which stimulates childrens' creativity and self-awareness. Also, a huge variety of learning of different topics is implemented in a structured and motivational manner.

Applied high standards of hygiene throughout the pandemic, keeping children, parents and staff safe. Once again, thank you.

We have had a fantastic experience so far at Garden House Nursery. We chose this nursery because the staff seemed very friendly and welcoming and were clearly very experienced. Both my son and daughter absolutely love going to the nursery; they love the staff and always do really fun activities during

the day (both self-led and adult-led). They have both developed well in all areas since attending, and the staff knows them very well. The management has also been outstanding and always eager to help in any way they can.

Overall Experience

We love The Garden House Nursery! All three of our sons have attended over the last 7+ years (they are currently 8, 5 and 2) and we’ve always been very happy with the care they have received. Many of the same staff have cared for all three of them over the years and it is lovely to know they are in

such a stable environment (plus I believe staff continuity speaks volumes in terms of the quality of the set-up). My two older sons made the transition to school without any trouble, and I credit The Garden House with preparing them so well. The staff are wonderful, they genuinely care about the kids and know them really well. Granted it is not the cheapest nursery available, but I believe quality childcare is worth every penny for the peace of mind it brings. Highly recommended!

Overall Experience

We are so pleased with the care at Garden House Nursery. The staff are friendly and approachable and our boys have always loved going. Throughout lockdown, they managed the logistics really well and made it easy and simple to drop off and pick up. The online system is useful as you can see how much

the kids have eaten for lunch each day. The staff are always available for a chat, if you need to talk to them and when my youngest was struggling with settling back in after the first lockdown, they were keen to work together and find ideas to help him. I couldn’t fault the care at all. They have a variety of different activities each day as well as extra tennis coaching and language classes, which are a real bonus. The preschool room really helped to get my eldest son ready for school and he moved quite seamlessly into his first year of school, with confidence. I would highly recommend it.
