Lovely, friendly staff who really go above and beyond to give the children a fantastic experience. Both my boys have always been so eager to spend time there. They are very well looked after, good meals and lots of fun.

I just love the way the staff build a relationship with my daughter and also help settle any anxiety when my little girl started. As my daughter was a lockdown baby, they really helped me to get my daughter settled in. I love the homely and friendly environment they have created. Love the way they nurture
my daughter's development and build new skills.

Both our children attend and love The Old Forge, the staff are enthusiastic and fantastic. The food is incredible and makes us jealous on a regular basis and our favourite aspect of the nursery is their incredible forest school. Our children return home so happy with stories of their forest adventures.

Reply from Louise Monange, Manager at The Old Forge Nursery

Thank you for your lovely comments. Our cook is passionate about providing the best for the children and we are glad everyone enjoys it.

A fabulous nursery that does so much for our child's education and they genuinely care. The food is excellent, they do so many activities and all the staff we have come across have been amazing. The forest school is a fantastic facility that our child loves.

Such a fantastic nursery. The staff members are amazing and have a real passion for the job. They have helped my son adjust to many things and he continues to grow from strength to strength with their help and support. I can not speak highly enough about this nursery and wish every other nursery was
the same.

I had viewed a number of nurseries for my daughter and I’m so glad I chose the old forge nursery. The staff are brilliant and helped my daughter settle in and even when she gets as not her self after her vaccinations. The food and the activities they do there are really good. I recommended to anyone
I know who is needing a nursery.

Reply from Louise Monange, Manager at The Old Forge Nursery

Thank you, we are equally glad you chose us and it is a pleasure to look after your daughter.

Fabulous early years setting. Our son attended for 2.5 years and we were so happy with the care he received that we had no hesitation in deciding where our daughter would go upon return to work. Activities are well supported, time outside is ample and nutrition is a major focus. Private nursery is costly
but we feel every penny spent is completely worth it, we have well-rounded children as a result and fully recommend it to anyone who asks!

Reply from Louise Monange, Manager at The Old Forge Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review it has been a pleasure to look after both children. We love to see the children blossom and grow.

A wonderful nursery which my child thoroughly enjoys. My child is always learning and engaging in new activities and benefits from the forest school provision. The food provided is nutritional yet creative which my little one enjoys to eat.
