Overall Experience

The nursery feels like a home from home for my child. The staff are kind and loving towards all the children, which is so clear in the bonds they make. They are also very supportive of parents and any questions or queries they might have. Their communication is regular and we receive many pictures everyday

of what our children have been doing. My child genuinely loves being there and it is clear they are being given the chance to thrive during their time there. They go above and beyond when organising events for children and families, including Christmas social events for the parents/guardians alone and Mother's Day Breakfasts. I have complete trust in the nursery, which, as they look after the most precious thing to you as a parent/guardian, is the most important thing.

Overall Experience

This is a fantastic nursery because they look after the children so well and genuinely care. My child was moved from his first nursery to this one, and it was the best decision I ever made. The staff are reliant and committed to the development and wellbeing of the children. The management are responsive,

welcoming and very involved in the day to day care as well. They also put on amazing activities and events for the children and parents to be involved in. My child loves going to this nursery so much.

We are very happy with the pre school service provided for our daughter. The staff are wonderful and genuinely care for the kids. The feedback we get from the staff working there is helpful for what development stage she is at which helps us to carry on similar things at home. They are all extremely

supportive and welcoming

Overall Experience

Our son attends Attenborough Day Nursery 4 days a week. He absolutely loves going to nursery. His speech has come on hugely since moving to the toddler room.

The staff are all second to non. They all take an interest in him and known him well. The activities that the staff do with the children

help with development and the reports they provide are really detailed.

The staff use the app so we get daily updates and photos of what our child has been up to that day, which is much better than a verbal handover which some nurseries do. The app is also used to communicate between staff and parents as well which is useful, particularly as drop off and pick up can sometimes be quite busy

We would recommend The Secret Garden Attenborough Day Nursery to any parent looking to put their child into nursery.

My daughter's been at Secret Garden about 6 months. lovely nursery. She's always happy to be dropped off, seems to do a range of activities and the food she gets is cooked on site and isn't processed.

Staff all lovely and keep us informed on how she's getting on. They strike a sensible balance about

illness.

So far very happy.

Overall Experience

This nursery is AMAZING! I can't tell you how happy I am to have found such a warm, nurturing environment for my two girls. I drop them off with such a good heart knowing they're safe and well-cared for and I don't need to worry. I feel like the staff genuinely care about the parents as well as the

children. My eldest is learning such amazing things and is always so happy when she comes home sharing with us everything she has been learning. You know a child enjoys their setting when they are role playing their time there at home and singing all the songs. The care is second to none. ALL staff are so very friendly, kind and welcoming every time I am in the building. I am so happy to have found you thank you for the amazing work that you do.

Secret garden nursery have been amazing with my son. He has been there for well over a year now and he has adjusted so well, thanks to the staff. My son had some eye issues which the staff handled so well, cleaning it regularly throughout the day. They listened to all of our needs, and each day on pickup

explain to me what my son has been up too. I can't recommend enough!

The staff are amazing, my daughter has been attending for nearly 2 years and I cannot fault anything. They make every adjustment and requirement mybdaughter needs for her medical issues. Nothing is too much, they are always happy and glad to see her. They have a plethora of techniques to help with challenging

behaviour and haven't once given up on her. Communication is excellent, getting daily updates and pictures about my child's activities during the day. Regular focus weeks to get an independent update on her progress and observations uploaded to the easy to use famly app. 11/10 all day long

Overall Experience

My child has been attending The Secret Garden Attenborough Day Nursery for 6 months now and he's loved it since his very first day. Perfect location next to our favourite nature reserve, particularly love that they take the children around there weather permitting. The staff are incredible, very accommodating

and willing to help whenever you need anything. They do their utmost to encourage my child's development with engaging activities. Really like the app that is used to keep updated on my child's day and the staff are very responsive to messages. There is a good variety of healthy and nutritious foods throughout the week. The nursery also goes out of its way to put on various events throughout the year to get parents involved which has helped us to meet other parents and get to know the staff more.
Overall, I highly recommend this nursery and am thankful for all that they do!
