Fantastic nursery with wonderful caring and nurturing staff and excellent management. We are really grateful for the excellent care our son has received. His key worker has been amazing and all the staff are experienced and really care about the children.

Growing up Green was our son's second nursery setting and we couldn’t have felt more pleased, reassured and positive about his move two years ago. He’s grown up with the nursery, his wonderful key workers and the staff team as a whole. He is always so happy going in and just as happy coming out. We
know he has heaps of fun as well as developmental and educational input from his very experienced key workers every day that he attends. Communication is great between us and the nursery which definitely helps. They are compassionate, helpful, skilled and very knowledgable. Let alone dedicated and hard-working throughout the pandemic! We are so grateful to all the staff team, especially his amazing key workers!

Growing Up Green is a lovely nursery where my twin boys attend. One of my children has health needs and needs medical equipment, so I was very nervous about him attending nursery. I was worried that he would not be able to participate in activities in the same way as other children. Growing Up Green
were extremely reassuring and took time to understand his needs. He is treated the same as anybody else and has thrived at nursery. He shows me, with pride, the dance moves he has learnt to nursery rhymes, or just how good his stacking skills have gotten.
The staff at Growing Up Green have really gotten to know my boys – who, despite being identical, are very different. I have never felt that they have been treated as the same person, or had it assumed they would like the same things.
They are extremely comfortable at nursery and are always excited to arrive at the front doors. The staff are warm and kind and I feel reassured knowing my sons are in safe hands.

We have just moved over from Spain and joined our son at this lovely nursery. From day one staff have been so accommodating, helpful and just generally lovely.
My son loves his teachers and thoroughly enjoys his sessions, always asking when he’s next going in!
Thanks so much to everyone at Growing
Up Green Nursery for welcoming us in.

We are so pleased with the care, activities and environment at Growing Up Green Nursery, as is our son who is always happy and excited for his nursery days! It was and is really important to us to have a “home from home” environment for his childcare and we are so pleased to of found it here. The fact
we walk past four other nurseries to get there also says a lot! The brilliant big outdoor space made us decide to choose this nursery initially, along with the smaller sized baby room in comparison to other nurseries for when he first joined, so it felt the best of both worlds. The aunties are wonderful, caring and he always has a lovely day full a variety.

My child started at the beginning of the year and was a real lockdown baby, I feared nursery had their work cut out but he has settled in beautifully and seems to enjoy being there a lot. He has already come back with some paintings and each week the baby activities are shared, they look varied and
interesting. He has also started to pick things up from nursery, one of the big ones is clapping himself when he does something good, we love this! Would definitely recommend Growing Up Green Nursery.

We have been very happy to send our child to Growing Up Green Nursery these past three years. He is always willing to go there to see his friends and his 'aunties'. The activities are varied, educational and he loves going in the garden. An organisation is only as good as the people there and we really
have to give a special shout out to four members of staff. They are intelligent, kind and caring. As for the food, it is a lovely varied menu and every single day without fail, he has two lots of everything. He loves it, all thanks to one member of staff. In fact, he says he doesn't want to go to school and wants to stay at Growing Up Green Nursery.

I could not sing this nursery's praises enough! Our daughter is a "lockdown" baby and we were so nervous about someone else looking after her and also meeting other children, especially after it just being the three of us for all her life. The staff know what they are doing, even from the first contact
to enquire they were the only nursery who made me feel completely at ease from the start. Our daughter had no tears or anything on her first day, and if anything, now hates when we collect her, I think that says it all about the care the children receive. I am impressed with the flexibility of them to assist you with any questions or requests quickly, their administration is efficient and accurate also which is also an important factor. You can see how well the children are looked after and the staff are always happy which also says a lot about a nursery. I'm so glad I was recommended them!

I’ve had two kids at Growing Up Green and both have loved it! Having 4 age group classes means the kids are with others their age. The staff go out of their way to make really exciting and engaging activities for the kids, no matter how messy! The staff are the kindest and most hard-working individuals,
they have a clear passion for their work and the kids all love them. The space is great, with healthy meals and a lovely garden. They’ve coped with Covid really well too. I couldn’t recommend them more!

I have two children at GUG, my boy had been at a previous setting where he cried daily and was described as ‘mute’. We moved to the area and tentatively booked him and his sister into GUG. The transformation has been incredible. He’s smiley, chatty and asks to go every day. They have a wonderful array
of activities and we get sent photos all the time and daily feedback cards. The ‘aunties’ (I mean how cute is that) are really kind and patient. There’s just so much thought put into everything, even the food is good and interesting for them. It’s been a joy for both kids to come home full of smiles and chatting about their new friends.
GUG is a wonderful place.

Growing up Green on Preston Road is a really excellent nursery. My daughter has attended since just before her first birthday last November. She settled in immediately and absolutely loves it there. I believe that attending has really helped with her walking and talking skills as well as giving her
a social outlet at a time when that has been very difficult. She eats double helpings of the food every day so it must be good! I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery (and in fact, I regularly do). I am so grateful to everyone there for continuing to work during this pandemic and for providing such a brilliant environment for play and learning. They are a really lovely team.

My daughter started at Growing Up Green at 15 months old she has been through the baby room, tennis, toddler and she is now in the preschool room. The staff are wonderful and extremely supportive with progressing learning developments. The nursery has taught my daughter how to behave and be kind when
playing with others, respect other's spaces and also supported her with her potty training. I am so grateful that I choose Growing Up Green my daughter has developed extremely well from being a little baby not even able to walk to now fluently speaking English and having the support to push her to be speaking another language. The nursery have encouraged mathematics through play and reading time. This has really driven my daughter to be very interested in stories and learning through play.

We've been more than happy with the care both of our children have received at Growing Up Green. The staff are attentive and professional. The menu is imaginative and varied and most importantly my children eat the healthy meals and snacks. The outside space is fantastic, with play areas, a secret garden,
bug palace and a small vegetable patch. My children engage in so many fun and educational activities that I would never have the imagination or resources to provide at home. There is a homely, family feel to the place. My children enjoy it and I highly recommend it.

Since our son started at Growing Up Green this year, he is more relaxed and content within himself. His process with speech, play and interaction has improved immensely in just a couple of months. He is happy to go into nursery and also happy after I pick him up. He shows no signs of anxiety and tells
me all the things he’s done that day which he loves.
The staff are exceptional and truly care for each child’s needs. My son can’t get enough of the huge garden and eats salmon and mackerel which he wouldn’t eat previously. I can’t fault this nursery, we are extremely happy parents with a very happy little boy who’s coming on leaps and bounds!

We've been so happy with Growing Up Green Nursery, they take care of our daughter so well and clearly care very much for her. All of the Aunty's and Uncles know her name and I really like that it's not all just ladies working there. Our daughter has thrived over the past 2 years and it's a huge credit
to the lovely staff. She's made lots of friends and talks about her aunty's all the time. Someone always has the time to talk to me at pick up and I've built a really good relationship with them. It's the people that make a place a happy place and this is certainly true at Growing Up Green Nursery.
