Hawthorn House Day Nursery

Overall Experience

Very pleased with the standard of care provided at Hawthorn House. The staff are caring, knowledgeable and staff turnover is very low. It is a very well-run nursery with great facilities and outdoor space. My child absolutely loves coming to nursery and the routine it provides. The days are well structured

with outdoor time, free play and learning all catered for. Nursery has been a great support with my child's eating (learning how to hold cutlery etc), self-care as well as counting and encouraging creative activities such as singing, art and dancing. All food is freshly prepared on-site and my child eats everything. Fantastic small chain of nurseries where you get the benefit of a smaller nursery within a larger framework (such as the benefit of an early years teacher who sets a teaching curriculum etc). Very happy we chose Hawthorn House for our child's nursery provision.

Mulberry House Day Nursery
from L C (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2024

Overall Experience

Our daughter attended Mulberry House from November 2020 right up until a few weeks before she started reception this year and I can't praise the staff enough.
We wanted a small nursery where there wasn't a huge number of staff/turnover and would highly recommend Mulberry House. My daughter loved the

staff and her friends so much that we even kept her there after we moved house around 10 miles away.
We had a wonderful experience, from settling-in sessions during covid where the staff did everything they could to help her (and me) with the transition, to their graduation ceremony.
The food was excellent, the activities, the little trips they took, everything was just perfect, we miss it a lot!

Overall Experience

My daughter loves this nursery and happily skips in each day. The staff are kind caring and know each child. Communication is fantastic, with updates on a portal and daily summary sheets. I love the variety of activities they offer and the outdoor classroom adds a lovely additional opportunity for the

children to be outside. I'm happy to send my youngest child here in a few months and recommend it.

Overall Experience

My son has had the best time at Sylvan House. I knew it was the right nursery for us the moment we stepped in. I was a little apprehensive as I'm sure all new parents are but the nursery staff put me at ease straight away with their caring supportive attitude. He has grown into a super confident little

boy who is ready to start school. I cannot praise this nursery and staff highly enough!

Overall Experience

Highly recommended.
My little boy is about to complete 3yrs at Sylvan House. As a lockdown baby, he was behind with development and here we are counting down the weeks to big school because he is more than 'ready to go'!
The staff are fantastic. They arrange learning activities and methods I'd never

think of. They were so encouraging when it came to toilet training time (for me too not to give up!). I love that they have been in close contact with big school in the run-up to him starting, so he's not starting his first day completely unknown. Everyone is approachable and informative. They update your child's personal account frequently so you can see what's been going on that day. Doesn't stop you from missing them though!

Overall Experience

Both of our children are currently at Sylvan House and have been since they were 6 months old. The setup means progression through each room at various learning stages so we have children at different points of the nursery.
Over the last 3 years, every aspect of the nursery has been a positive experience.

Both children are full-time and love going to nursery in the morning. The staff are caring, attentive, easily approachable and professional. You are contacted if there is any concern and full feedback is provided at the end of the day and throughout the week via the app. The day is clearly structured and planned and close attention is paid to ensuring learning is part of the day. The children do a large range of activities which are often themed to wider things and during the warmer months, a large outside area is used.
I would highly recommend the nursery and feel privileged to have watched my children develop and continue to develop within their nurturing environment.

Overall Experience

Our little girl has attended Mulberry House since April 2023. We have found the staff to be friendly and supportive. The rooms are clean and the facilities are fantastic (particularly their set up for napping babies and meal times in the younger rooms). Our daughter settled quickly after struggling

at a previous nursery, and enjoys her day there. She always comes out smiling. We get information/pictures regularly and a daily handover at pick up. Her development has come on leaps and bounds. Can't recommend highly enough.

Overall Experience

We love love love Mulberry House Day Nursery. The stories we hear from other parents about their experiences couldn’t be further from our experience of nursery.
The team are all so welcoming, kind and caring. Our son’s key workers have been with him for a few months now and his communication and maths

skills have come on so far.
The management team are great with communicating what’s going on and their community engagement is great. The accounts keep you up to date on payments and we don’t get calls every five minutes about nothing.
We are so lucky to have somewhere to leave our child that feels so safe and comfortable.

Overall Experience

What a wonderful nursery! My child has been attending for just over 2.5 years now and we have decided to keep her there right up to when she starts school as she loves it so much. The vibe you get from staff is professional and caring. When you walk up to the door staff are showcasing the painting or

craft to parents at pickup. School readiness and milestones such as dropping a nap or toilet training is supported by staff. They recognise when my child has a talent and her imagination on nursery days is such a joy. Her teacher sets up fun but educational activities. We have started to get a weekly book which she loves too. The nursery manager, deputy and staff have also gone the extra mile when needed recently and it's not gone unnoticed they really do care about their children and families.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Mulberry House Day Nursery for one year, and it is outstanding! The staff are incredible, kind and caring. Every morning we are greeted with huge smiles and excitement, even staff who don't have my daughter in their room greet her by name and begin the day's excitement.
At

pickup, I get a full debrief of the day, what she has done, eaten and how she has slept, all recorded on a sheet for me to take home. The use of tapestry to see pictures of her learning and development daily is phenomenal.
The food she has is outstanding; I wish I could have her meals for the day. The opportunity to try so many new wonderful foods is fantastic. If you are looking for a day nursery for your child, I can't recommend it highly enough. Any doubts or concerns you might have will quickly be put to rest immediately, go and visit!

The level of care and support that Mulberry House gave to my son was impeccable. I can't thank you all enough, you made leaving him in your care easy, even with his medical condition, we were never worried. He always came home very happy and the updates we had through the parent app were an added bonus.

We would not hesitate to come to you in the future.
Thank you.

Overall Experience

A really outstanding nursery. I am so delighted I chose Sylvan House. My daughter has been coming three days a week since she was 9 months, and the development I've seen in her is fantastic. The girls in the baby room treat my daughter like their own; they are kind, affectionate, attentive and excellent

at what they do. The food variety is great, and she is really well fed and cared for, with a detailed report at the end of the day showing food intake, sleep times, nappy changes, mood description etc. The app that the nursery use is A-star, and I look forward to numerous updates, photos, videos and notes about what she's up to. Communication is excellent throughout the day and at handover. Well done, Sylvan House, you've made returning to work so much easier!

My son has been at Mulberry for 2 years and he has truly enjoyed his time in nursery. Everything from his social skills to his vocabulary have come on faster than I ever imagined. The staff are so welcoming to both parents and children and it is easy to address any queries or questions. I can't praise

all the staff enough for all their hard work.

Overall Experience

Our 4-year-old girl and 2-year-old boy attend Sylvan House Day Nursery.
When our 4-year-old little girl started at Sylvan House, she was very shy and quiet, and her speaking wasn’t the best. However, since being at Sylvan House, she has developed massively with the help of the staff, who are all very

attentive and who have really nurtured her.
We now feel our little girl is well equipped and ready to start reception.
Our little boy started at Sylvan House at 9 months old, and his development has been amazing. The staff have helped bring his character out.
We, as a family, could not fault the staff at Sylvan House, and we will always recommend the nursery to others.
If you want your child to succeed and flourish - this is the nursery for you and your child.

Overall Experience

I am the grandmother of a little boy who has spent a year at Mulberry House. As an early year's advisory teacher (before retiring), I am extremely impressed with how the team have supported my grandson in all areas of his development. Activities and resources are first class and always look engaging

and encourage playful exploration of concepts.
The staff are so caring, friendly and professional. It is a wonderful place to grow and learn and I would highly recommend this early years provider. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the profession.

Overall Experience

Both my grandsons have attended Copper Beeches Day Nursery and I couldn’t be happier with the staff, the care and the education they have both received. The eldest is now 5 and at school and our experience with him was so good that the second child was obviously enrolled. This was a Covid and lockdown

experience which, although was not the same for him regarding nursery/home connections due to restrictions, was the best it could be in the circumstances. We know that both boys have had a great start from a dedicated team.

Overall Experience

Love this nursery in so many ways. One of the biggest reasons to choose this place when I researched lots in the area was the people who work there. The manager is phenomenal with such a caring nature, as are all other members of staff. My daughter has had the pleasure of being here for the last three

years; she absolutely loves it. Her confidence has come on massively, along with her independence. They continually surprise me with their ideas and go the extra mile. My daughter was off with chicken pox during her birthday; the teacher and children sang happy birthday to her on the online account and posted the video. There are so many things I could mention about this nursery, but overall, in my opinion, it's the best in the area.
