Overall Experience

I attended my grandson and granddaughter's nativity plays. The atmosphere in the school hall was magical and all the children in the plays were relaxed and happy as were the staff.
Each play enabled individual children to excel themselves in their costumes and roles. Thank you Cricklade Manor.

Reply from Felicity, Marketing Officer at Cricklade Manor Nursery

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're absolutely delighted that you enjoyed the nativity. We take great pride in creating opportunities for each child to shine, and it's lovely to know their hard work and joy came through. Thank you for your kind words and for sharing with us at Cricklade Manor Nursery.

Learning Curve Day Nursery
from Angela W (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2024

Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery. We chose the nursery because of the staff and overall feeling there, it appears clean, and welcoming, has discipline, and teaches manners starting at a young age which is something we were keen for our daughter to have. The welcome she receives every day and the approach the staff

have is amazing, our daughter enjoys going to nursery and this has taken a huge weight off our minds as we both returned back to full-time work. She has already developed so much in social skills in the past few short months. We all couldn't be happier. The most important thing is she is having fun and safe and we definitely feel she is.

Reply from Cathy Parker, Nursery Manager at Learning Curve Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review! It's wonderful to hear how we've been able to ease the weight for you in going back to work full-time and are delighted with how well your daughter has settled into nursery and is thriving! We pride ourselves on being a family away from home and how this approach helps develop the social skills and self-confidence in our children. So, to know you've already noticed how much she's developed since being at Learning Curve means the absolute world to us!

Overall Experience

Our child has attended Cricklade Nursery for the last two years. They have had a brilliant time, the staff are caring and there are so many different activities. The outdoor space is brilliant. I feel that they are all well-prepared to move on to school. The only downside is that they don't take children

under two years old.

Reply from Felicity Westall, Marketing Co-ordinator at Cricklade Manor Nursery

Overall Experience

Great little nursery with excellent facilities which allowed both my boys to thoroughly enjoy their time there. The walled garden area with its own playground area and sandpit provides an excellent safe environment for kids to run around in and make friends from other classes. Being an integral part

of the main school and sharing in the many facilities of a larger school, e.g. sports hall, Astroturf, is a great benefit to the kids and also made the transition for both my boys from nursery to the main school a breeze. Great team of staff and highly recommend the nursery to other parents.

Reply from Felicity, Marketing Co-ordinator at Cricklade Manor Nursery

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear that your boys enjoyed their time at Cricklade Manor Nursery.

We appreciate your recommendation and kind words about our staff. Thank you for being a part of our Nursery community.

Overall Experience

My daughter enjoys going to nursery, the staff are amazing and show genuine care for the children. They keep in communication if needed, show support when a child may need additional help and always met with a smile and positive attitude. The children do fun activities and make the most of their outdoor

space. I would highly recommend it to all parents.
It would be nice to have a communication platform, and not just social media for photos.

Overall Experience

A well-run nursery with pleasant staff. Good range of activities. Always great to do more/learn more but we accept that is challenging with so many. Fees have increased which is clearly never ideal, this was however communicated well.
Always met with a smile and feel that staff have taken it upon themselves

to get to know our daughter. Would recommend it to others who are seeking a nursery in the local area.

Our son has complex medical needs, so I was dreading finding him a nursery. The manager instantly put me at ease and assured me that Heathcote House could support my child. Since he started in February, the baby team have been amazing, really accommodating and provide excellent care. They take their

time at the end of a busy day to do an extensive handover. I couldn't be happier with the nursery and staff. My child is thriving and happy.

Overall Experience

My child has been at Heathcote for seven months and she loves it. I was concerned she would struggle to settle in as she has always been very attached to me, but within only a week she was holding out her arms to her key worker. I was pleased to find that all staff there knew her name, not just those

in the baby room. I have been delighted to attend a Christmas 'party' and Mother's Day 'brunch' at the nursery, and see first-hand how happy she is in the setting.
Heathcote House has recently become part of Wishford Education group and there have already been some tangible benefits, without unexpected fee rises. There is a long-term programme of planned works including redecoration inside and development of the outdoor areas. I believe this means the best of both worlds - the friendly, homely atmosphere of an independent with the professional management and investment of a group behind it.
Most importantly, the staff clearly care about the children. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Reply from Stephanie Hall, Nursery Manager at Heathcote House Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review, it's been a joy to welcome your family to Heathcote House. We pride ourselves on being a home-from-home and knowing every child. We're really excited about seeing Heathcote go from strength to strength with Wishford's support.

Our son started the nursery a few months ago, following in his sister’s footsteps. We have been so pleased with the experience and would highly recommend. The staff are amazing and our children have been very happy and both settled in very easily. The setting and space are fantastic, with forest school

and the chickens being a highlight.

Reply from Felicity Westall, Marketing Co-ordinator at Cricklade Manor Nursery

This is wonderful, it's always heartening to hear that children are not only happy but thriving at Cricklade Manor Nursery. We are incredibly fortunate to have such dedicated and nurturing staff members. We are delighted to hear that your son has a particular fondness for the Forest School and our chickens.

Overall Experience

My son has recently started at Cricklade and has settled well. He comes home talking about his friends and teachers, especially his key person. Considering he has only been at this nursery for six weeks, he has learnt so much already. He is reciting stories in books that we have never read before, and

his counting has improved dramatically, but most importantly he’s learning through having fun! The outdoor spaces and the extracurricular activities they offer are amazing, from the forest school to music and French sessions.

Reply from Felicity Westall, Marketing Co-ordinator at Cricklade Manor Nursery

This is wonderful to hear! It sounds like your son is thriving at Cricklade Manor Nursery. It's fantastic that he's settling in so well and enjoying his time with his friends, teachers, and especially his key person. We are so happy he is enjoying the Forest School, French and Music lessons. We hope he continues to have fun throughout his learning journey at Cricklade Manor Nursery.

I can highly recommend the nursery as they are definitely much more than childcare. My child attended from two years old and her learning accelerated through their play plan. Excellent teachers and staff, sharing great facilities and events with the school. The food provided is excellent. It’s a great

place to start early learning. My child was really happy and enjoyed the nursery.

My child moved nurseries after her's closed. It was a daunting move, however, made incredibly easy by the staff. The children were warm and welcoming. My child fell in love with her teachers and support staff. I dropped her off each day and she never looked back. The forest school is a particular highlight,

the chicken's another. Finally, I really appreciate the chef pushing my child's boundaries and taste buds. Excellent experience, highly recommend.

Reply from Felicity Westall, Marketing Co-ordinator at Cricklade Manor Nursery

We are thrilled that the transition from your previous Nursery to Cricklade Manor Nursery was seamless and effortless and we are delighted to hear that your child felt welcomed and included by the other Nursery children. It is wonderful to hear that your child developed strong and positive relationships with our Nursery Room Leaders and Assistants. We're overjoyed that they thoroughly enjoyed our Forest School, especially the chickens! It is fantastic to hear that our chefs have helped to open the yummy world of new and tasty foods for your child to experience and enjoy. Thank you for your kind recommendation and for being part of our supportive parental community.

Cricklade Manor Prep Nursery has a very family-orientated ethos. Children have access to a wide range of resources. Classroom sizes are big and they can also make use of a big the playground with access to an outdoor adventure playground. The learning is second to none. Children and are introduced to

the foundations required to prepare them for full-time education. The teaching staff are friendly and caring and very approachable. My child enjoyed every day he spent at nursery at Cricklade Manor Prep and has settled in very well at Pre-Prep.

My child started at Cricklade Manor Nursery in September and we are absolutely over the moon with the care he has received so far. The opportunities the team have provided, both in the classroom as well as in the beautiful walled garden, are second to none. My child loves the PE sessions in the sports

hall and the delicious lunches and snacks he has everyday. We really couldn't be happier with the progress he has made during the last couple of months and love hearing about all the exciting things he is doing! We can't thank you all enough!
