Overall Experience

We could not be more grateful to the Hatchlings team for how they have welcomed our son into Poppins. The care and love that they show him is so greatly appreciated and has made his time settling in super smooth. He adores the team and seems to be really thriving in the wonderful environment that they

have created. There is such care and thought put into all that they do and this has been a huge reassurance to us as new parents. The activities are brilliant and so enriching. The updates are regular and gratefully received. We can't think of a better team to help him flourish during these such formative years and are truly grateful to the whole Poppins team. It's no easy task, but the positive impact the team has on him, us, and the other children does not go unnoticed. Thank you!

Overall Experience

We love Poppins and everything it has to offer our son. He's been going since he was 11 months old and has been there 11 months now and you can tell he absolutely loves it! He comes out smiling and happy every day and has no problems at drop-off.
We chose Poppins because of its smaller, cosy, and

home-like setting with fewer children in the baby room than in other local settings, we loved the feel that we had from the staff when we first went in, we could see how happy the other babies and team were. The kind, caring nature of the team is obvious.
The facilities they have are great, the garden and forest school are brilliant and they try to get the children outside playing as often as possible. Going on walks and getting out of the setting where possible is something he really enjoys.
We can't recommend Poppins enough and we're so pleased that we made the choice to start him there.
Thank you to all of the team who work at Poppins and make it such a great place!

Overall Experience

My son started at Poppins 6 months ago when he was 9 months old, and right from the beginning all the staff have been welcoming and wonderful and so engaging for my son. I was so attracted to this nursery because of their warm and homely approach that was very clearly based on a huge amount of experience

and knowledge, they have exceeded my expectations, and my little boy is so happy for his nursery days, I love receiving updates in the day of what they have been up to! I've been amazed at how much my son has learned and developed being in this setting - so happy we chose this wonderful nursery!

Overall Experience

Poppins is a wonderful nursery filled with great staff who love what they do. It's evident in the level of care children receive there, staff are warm, gentle, welcoming and loving. Children are encouraged to explore, be curious and there's always so much learning around various topics (ie culture,

society, arts etc). The staff are always on hand and welcome discussion in order to foster a seamless experience for the children. We can't thank the staff enough for the level of care our daughter has received there. She's come on leaps and bounds and that is truly a credit to the team there.

Reply from Sue Tredell, Owner at Poppins Day Nursery

Thank you for your kind words, it really does mean so much to us. It's lovely to see your little girl continuing to flourish at Poppins and truly enjoying each and every day.

Overall Experience

Our daughter started Poppins in September after a house move to the area. We were feeling slightly apprehensive about her moving as she had been so happy at her previous setting. However, we needn’t have worried at all - the staff at Poppins have been absolutely incredible; they made her feel so welcome,

got to know her so quickly and all aspects of her learning and language have undoubtedly come on leaps and bounds since she started. It is a very homely setting, which we absolutely love, and the relationships the staff form with the children are second to none. On the days our daughter isn’t at nursery, she quite often mentions the staff’s names and is always so happy to see them all. The rooms, resources and learning opportunities planned for the children are so well thought out and linked to the children’s own interests which makes them even more impactful. We are incredibly happy to have found Poppins for our daughter and would highly recommend it to any other parents. Just the best!

The loving and caring nature of all the Poppins team members has never gone unnoticed. My son has been attending for 2 years now and speaks so fondly of all his amazing days that he has at Poppins. Poppins create a nurturing environment which has made such a significant impact on my son's development

and I love hearing about all his experiences, activities, and friends that he makes at nursery. We feel blessed to have such a wonderful team caring for my son during this crucial stage of his development. All the staff are amazingly empathetic which has really helped my son feel secure in the nursery setting. It's evident that all the staff go above and beyond to connect with each child on a personal level, and for that, we are truly grateful.

Overall Experience

We’ve been delighted with the care our children have received at Poppins since they started. Our daughter moved from another setting when we moved house and her transition was handled brilliantly. She loved it from day one! Her care has been exceptional and she has come on in leaps and bounds since

starting a year ago thanks to the kind and knowledgeable staff. Our son joined at age 1 last year and we were initially a little worried about how he’d cope with being so young. We needn’t have worried - the care in the Hatchlings room is as high quality as the care in the Nestlings room and he adores the nursery. We have been particularly impressed by the range of activities offered and how they are presented to the children as invitations to play rather than activities they must participate in. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Poppins to anyone looking for a nursery in the area.

My 2-year-old daughter has been going here for around 4 months now and I can see the huge difference in her, her confidence has come on leaps and bounds, and her speech has improved a lot. The staff are absolutely amazing, so kind and caring and very approachable. The nursery has great facilities of

all sorts, with its own forest school- the children get so much out of it. Most certainly the best choice I made putting my little girl into this very welcoming and homely nursery.

Overall Experience

My son attended Poppins for 18 months before starting primary school and I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful nursery and the staff that work there. All the staff were friendly, polite, warm and welcoming and this helped my son to settle in quickly. The resources were fantastic and always

seemed well looked after. There were opportunities for trips out to local farms, walks down to the river, Christmas visits from Father Christmas etc, and we were always told well in advance of these through monthly newsletters. The forest school was brilliant and a real bonus for my son, it's rare to find nurseries with forest school-trained members of staff. The online Tapestry system for observations was easy to use and was also used to communicate with us how much our child had eaten throughout the day, which was very useful for me as my mother-in-law did the pickups! The staff were calm, professional, and the nursery felt like home from home. My son always came out smiling!

Would definitely recommend this nursery if your looking for a place to send your little ones, and know they are in safe hands. Can't thank them enough for all

they have done to help both my little ones grow, my two boys loved their time there until starting school.

We have always been very happy with the care that our son has received from Poppins, and very impressed with how the staff have worked so hard to get him ready for his move on to primary school. We also feel that the subjects that they have learnt about are imaginative and interesting for the children.

The food on the menu was nutritious and appealing. The staff were very supportive with issues such as potty training, and for us, the peace of mind that he was always so excited to be there meant so much. We highly recommend Poppins Day Nursery.

Overall Experience

My son has been with Poppins from the age of about 15 months to leaving for reception and his time has been wonderful. His communication skills, numeracy and literacy are well ahead of where he needed to be for preparing for school and his teacher has commented on this too. The learning alongside play

at Poppins is so well balanced that they make learning fun without an easily distracted boy becoming distracted. My son has made great friends with the staff who he often would talk about and enjoys seeing each day. I personally felt supported by the staff too, who took an interest in us and how we were as well as the children, I'll be sad not to chat to them at pick-up and drop-offs now my son has left. Keep up the good work guys!

Reply from Sue Tredell, Owner at Poppins Day Nursery

Thank you for your kind words Jenni. I am sure he will continue to thrive at school just like he did here. Take care.

Since our daughter started at Poppins in the toddler room, we have been so very grateful for the care and nurture she has received. All the staff are friendly and kind and will go above and beyond for each child in their care. The nurseries facilities are outstanding and they always provide interesting

and exciting opportunities even from a young age. This ranges from Forest School, Mindfulness, walks out in the local community and cooking. Communication is great through an online app and staff are always available if you ever need to speak to them. We have been so blessed that our daughter has had the best possible start and couldn't be more thankful for all the work the staff do at Poppins.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Poppins for just over 12 months now, I was a little nervous and unsure at first as my child had never been in someone else care. Poppins were great in reassuring me and made me feel so happy and comfortable to leave my child with them. Now he's been there over 12 months and

what a 12months it has been! My child is an individual to them and they care about what he likes and his interests. He has developed so much, it's the best thing we have done sending him here! Nothing is too much of an issue for them and no concern is too silly! Through the pandemic they have been brilliant too, every staff member has really put themselves out there for the children. They have been COVID free which I think is fantastic and shows what they are doing is working.

I highly recommend this nursery to anyone, you will not be disappointed, it's a home from home for your little one.
