The staff are friendly and helpful. I am really pleased with the service provided for my daughter. The only negative is that sometimes you can be waiting a while outside on pick up and drop-offs. I understand that this is due to the current pandemic.

Overall Experience

My eldest went here on the recommendation of a work colleague. I must say I’d never have my youngest go anywhere else. Personal, professional accommodating and homely feel. The staff are amazing and each child is treated as an individual, their needs are looked at as individuals and that to me is so

so important. I trust them completely and feel safe with my child there.

My daughter has grown so much since starting Fairytales and really enjoys every session she goes to. When I pick her up she wants to go back the next day, telling me "she likes nursery." I have recommended Fairytales to several people and even my sister who has brought my niece to Fairytales too.

Overall Experience

It’s a lovely nursery - friendly, flexible and always has the children’s best interests at heart. It’s really sad to see some of the longest-serving team members leave recently as I was looking forward to them being as such an integral part of my son's life as they were for my daughter. However, I know

my son is in safe hands and he learns so much there.

Overall Experience

We went to view Fairytales based on a good friend's recommendation. After viewing, it became our favourite out of the 3 that we had seen. The staff are all friendly and welcoming, and it has a lovely 'homely' feel to the place. They have always been great at responding to any queries and have been really

flexible with regards to any changes to days. My daughter has loved it here from day one and is always excited to go to nursery, which makes us 100% certain we chose the right one! Thank you Fairytales!

Overall Experience

I visited a number of nurseries as this is a big decision, and Fairytales was the best setting I saw. I was impressed by the calmness in the nursery and cleanliness. The staff had been there a long period of time, and there was not a big turnover of staff, which I felt gave great consistency. Lots of

experienced staff helped me make the decision to place my child.

AMAZING !!! Our little girl has been part of the fairy tales family (as that's how they make you feel) since she was 6 months old and my boy came here before her too.
The team are brilliant, the manager has been there for over 17 years, as have many of the other staff, the place is spotless and home

from home feel.
I couldn't recommend the place more. Well Done Fairy Tales

I absolutely love Fairytales Nursery. My son attended for two years and quickly became part of the family. The staff are amazing and the curriculum perfect. I couldn't have asked for better care for my little one. The management is friendly and accommodating. I am very grateful for all the help they

gave me to raise my son.

Overall Experience

Couldn't thank the staff enough for how much they helped my son during his time at nursery.
He arrived as a fussy eater who wouldn't try anything and through their help and encouragement has become a fantastic eater.

There is so much to do and play with which keeps the children engaged and happy.

The

staff will help in any way they can and are there to support the children, not just in their learning but through toilet training etc.

I would recommend this place to anyone.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Fairytales since March 2014. As you can imagine as any parent leaving their baby with others, it's a bit daunting. However from when we went to look around we loved it, it feels warm and welcoming, the staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
My daughter has never

had any issues whilst attending there, she is treated with just as much love as if she were their own. I have recommended this nursery to other friends with children whom all now attend too! It's a fantastic place for my daughter to attends whilst I'm at work. Couldn't have chosen better!

Overall Experience

I have two children that attend Fairytales and as a family we think it's brilliant. The staff are wonderful. The manager is so caring and helpful.

I think a sign of a good day is for the children to come home messy! My two always have paint on them or sand on their feet or pen on their hands. We

are often given armfuls of pictures the children have made and they clearly do lots of arts and craft. We get cards from the children which are really nicely made and wrapped, it's clear this nursery care about the children they have in their care!

I would 100% recommend this nursery I have no concerns at all about my children attending - nursery feels like an extended family. The communication system is fab, we get daily emails with what the children have been up to, what they have eaten, if they have slept ect. If you are a clingy mum like me you can ring up as many times in a day and the leader never tiers of speaking to you.

I'd give this nursery a 10/10 and a gold star. Its fab! !

Overall Experience

All my three children have attended Fairytales nursery with the youngest due to leave and start school this September, we will be extremely sad to leave behind the staff who have looked after all of them so well whilst in their care.
We chose Fairytales initially because of its homely feel and over

a time span of 10 years we have not been disappointed, the children love it there and I have actually been asked to come back later in the day so they could carry on playing :-)
On a practical note, I work shifts and the nursery have always been very flexible allowing me to request different days for them each week, which was something other nurseries are not often willing to do.

Such a lovely, warm and friendly environment for children. After visiting many other private nurseries, as soon as we stepped through the door we knew Fairytales was the one. Our son has made friends and loves all the staff. A massive plus for us when choosing a nursery was the staff and knowing a number

of staff have been there for more than 10 years says it all.

My now 19 month old daughter has been attending Fairytales since January this year.

After her first day she took her first steps and has continued to go from strength to strength with her learning since.

All the staff are lovely and the manager is excellent and takes her role very seriously.

Nothing we ask is too much and they are really accommodating and understanding.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fairytales to anyone. They were personally recommended to myself and I can see why! Thanks for being fab! :)

I cannot praise and thank the team at Fairytales enough for their support and care over the last 2 years whilst my daughter has been with them and as my child has additional needs, the extra love and care they provide has truly helped her development.
Every aspect of their care and routine is carefully

planned and you can see the children really enjoy their time here, all rooms cater just right for the age range and the children are always safe and put first. Thank you all.

My daughter goes to Fairytales one day a week and absolutely loves it. The staff are always friendly and caring and I can tell they make sure my daughter is well looked after. Every time I pick her up she is always telling me how much fun she has had. The staff are always happy to help and to accommodate

if things need to be changed or seen to. There is always a friendly atmosphere and my little one is always welcomed by everyone.

Overall Experience

The staff are lovely and friendly, they are very reasonably priced and flexible. My baby girl hasn't been there long but has settled really well and felt at ease from the moment I left her. The Daily Diary is really good so you can see photos of what they're doing through the day. It also acts like

a diary so you know when they've eaten, when they've slept and any other comments made by the staff. I would definitely recommend.
