Overall Experience

My son has just left this wonderful nursery, the staff are amazing and so chatty, they all keep you updated on everything. My son had trouble settling in at first (he's a mummy's boy) but he soon was rushing to get through that door. While at Dunsbury Way, my son was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and

wow I have never seen a workplace come together like they did for my family, nothing was ever too big to ask for, they were at the other end of the phone if I ever needed anything. We did take some time to get back into a routine after my son was fit and well to return back to nursery, and nothing was ever too big to ask for, everything was done on our terms and when we wanted to add more hours it wasn't a problem. I highly recommend this nursery and I will 100% be sending my daughter here when the time comes. Well done ladies at Dunsbury Way Nursery.

Overall Experience

My daughter has just graduated from Dunsbury Way Nursery and the change we have seen throughout her journey with this nursery team has been remarkable. The staff have been so helpful and supportive getting her from a shy recluse with speech and hearing issues through to a bouncy, eager and outgoing

rocket ready for school.

Overall Experience

My daughter went to Girls & Boys Dunsbury Way from age 2-4. I couldn't praise them enough. She has flourished since joining the nursery. The staff have gone above and beyond to support her with speech development, potty training and gaining confidence with everything. They put up daily posts on their

group page so parents can see what activities the children have been involved in. They are easy to approach in person but also very quick to reply to emails as well. My daughter started there very shy but it's amazing how much confidence she had gained due to all the support she has received! Thank you Girls & Boys!

Overall Experience

This nursery is just simply amazing and the best in the area by far!
I enrolled my son into this nursery as his previous nursery couldn't accommodate my new work hours and Girls and Boys Nursery made this such an easy process and it was all done so quickly. My son looks forward to going into nursery

everyday with a smile on his face I don't even get a goodbye he's too interested in going in and playing with all his friends! All the staff are brilliant and so friendly, they work so closely with the children and it's lovely to see and if the parents have a question or worry they are quick to help and resolve. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone, 5 stars from me all around!

Overall Experience

My son goes to Girls and Boys Nursery and he really enjoys going and looks forward to it, the staff have been amazing with my son. I could not wish for better staff than they have there. What amazing people/staff. They have helped my son come a very long way and I would highly recommend them to any

parent. It's so safe, I was not worried once I saw my son going there and there is a system where you can have a password so only certain people can pick up your child if they know the password. My son got really upset one day and they phoned me as they tried everything to calm my son down but nothing worked, that is what makes me highly recommend the nursery to Mums and Dads who have children or stepchildren. I really could not be any happier with the nursery, really couldn't be, it's an amazing nursery.

Would highly recommend this Nursery to anyone they will always help if needed. They have good communication, letting you know about the child's behaviour and how they are getting on in the nursery. Easy to phone through if you do need to phone into the nursery.

Overall Experience

Oh my god, I am blown away at the wonderful Mother’s Day afternoon tea you arranged with all the staff for the children & all the mummies.
What an absolutely beautiful treat to be greeted with & so very thoughtful. Thank you so much.
My little boy loved that I could share some lunch that he had made

(he even told me he had made a cheese sandwich on brown bread) & also told me he did lots of mixing for his ‘cakes’ (scones). My boy told me he helped spread the jam & cream for me & poured us both some apple juice, followed by cheers of our mugs together.
Honestly, thank you so much for this lovely sentimental moment to share with my little man.
I truly loved the little handmade gifts that were made for me too. Each is unique, thoughtful & very cute.
I cannot fault this nursery whatsoever. I will be sad when my son leaves as I’ll miss the daily chats with the staff & hearing how even the staff are my boy's friends. So wonderful!
Thank you.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been with this nursery from the age of 2 full-time.
The nursery manager is outstanding and all the practitioners too. Even before Girls & Boys took over and they were quite often having short staffing problems, they always still went over and beyond to make sure all the children were

safe and cared for.
My daughter has learnt so much and is so ready for starting school and it's all because of all the girls there. She is very forward and clever, and it's all because of the hard work they put in. The nursery is always finding ways to try and bring families closer together by doing the little things like a Mother's Day afternoon tea, where the children made sandwiches and scones (teaching them life skills, which is a big thumbs up from me).
I could go on and on with how amazing this nursery really is.
I will be sad for my daughter to be leaving them all in September.
Thank you all of you, you are the best.

Overall Experience

My twin sons currently attend this nursery and have done for just over a year now, I can honestly say they have gone above and beyond for my boys including swapping sessions more than once to accommodate them, having great patience and acquiring new equipment to help him as well as his key worker giving

him daily one to one extra time, putting in place additional interventions for my special educational need (SEN) twin as well as making the application for his Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP), to which he now has ready for when he starts school in September. Both my twins have thrived and become more independent which has given me confidence for when they start school. All the staff are kind and caring and my boys love them! They absolutely love going and always enjoy their day which speaks volumes!

Overall Experience

My daughter started attending in September 2023 and it has been amazing for her confidence and development. Previously a very shy child who didn’t want to interact with others she is now thriving and talks positively about her teachers and friends at home and has gained many new skills. The nursery

has a great outside area, plenty of toys and a variety of activities to keep the children busy. My daughter is excited on nursery days and tells us about all the fun she had at home time. The staff are approachable and helpful and happy to talk if you have any worries or concerns which always puts our mind at rest. I feel content that my daughter is happy and safe whilst in their care, the nursery setting is well presented and safe. It’s clear to see that they put a lot of thought into the children and families often planning occasions for us to attend and be involved, we feel we made a great choice sending our child here and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery school.

Overall Experience

My son's old nursery closed and I was anxious about him having to start again in a new setting. I have to say I needn't have worried! He has been there since September last year and he settled in really well. The staff have been amazing with him. He has special educational needs (SEN) and they have

gone above and beyond to support him during his time in the setting. He has regular sessions with their Speech and Language Therapist (SALT) who has worked wonders with him, and his key worker works with him to help support him during his sessions ensuring he has opportunities to join in with all activities on offer. The manager and deputy know him well and help both myself and my son with ongoing support with his needs and when dealing with other professionals. I cannot thank them all enough for all their hard work

Overall Experience

I moved my daughter from her previous nursery to be closer to home and I was very anxious about it. I can honestly say that Warren Park Girls and Boys Nursery is exceptional. The staff are kind, caring and very attentive, they always go above and beyond for all the children in their care. Nothing is

too much trouble and you feel so supported by the nursery managers and staff.
I highly recommend it.

Review of
Girls & Boys Nursery Sharps Copse
from Kathy N (Mother of Child) published on 14 December 2023

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I placed my son here and after a few months, it was clearly a mistake.
Staff were not confident in managing a child with SEN and the approach to managing behavior was very reactive rather than proactively developing strategies to support his needs.
His EHCP application was rejected due to a lack

of information. The application itself had to be started by myself as the nursery delayed for a long time. When I pushed through the application, the nursery's side was poorly written. It was clear that they did not understand my son or his needs.
When I asked for further support with his needs, experienced staff from the nursery told me that they 'did not know what to do' and I had to seek advice from other professionals myself.
The new nursery is 100% different. He is thriving. Most detailed EHCP application they have seen. I returned to collect something I had missed and his former keyworker said in conversation, I'd be angry too if I was his sibling; Tells you everything about attitude.

Reply from Kirsty Henwood, Admin Manager at Girls & Boys Nursery Sharps Copse

Hello, We are really sorry that you feel like this and that you and your child were not supported. However, I can assure you that staff went above and beyond for yourself and your child in order to support his SEN needs. His keyworker had an extremely close relationship with your son and it is heartbreaking for us that you feel the way that you do when we feel that we did everything we possibly could. Staff have great knowledge of how to complete an EHCP, sorry that you feel in this case that it did not happen the way it should. We are happy to learn that he has settled well in his new nursery and you are getting the support that you feel that we did not give. Again apologies that you feel this way. The review has been shown and discussed with the team in order to capture any learning opportunities the manager feels we may have missed.
Thank you for your feedback, it is appreciated.

This is the best nursery in the area by far. They have helped me and my daughter through so much. Two of the teachers are the best workers there, my little girl loves them and is so upset to start her new chapter without them.
When my little one started she was shy and below on development, but now

is outgoing; she has made so many friends, other than her cousin, and she is helpful to everyone. I've even sent my boy here, as I know and trust them with him. Highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
My daughter came here 8 years ago and she thrived from a mummy’s girl that wouldn’t leave my side to an independent little woman. The staff bend over backwards to help in any way they can and every one of them are a delight. My son started last month and has

been struggling with attachment issues but they have gone above and beyond to try and get him to love nursery and leave without me staying in the nursery with him.
They’ve broken hours down and we’ve gone at a pace my son agrees with and he’s finally starting to spend time here without me and being happy which is massive!
If anyone is looking for a nursery I’d say this is the best one within the Havant area.
