My three children have all really enjoyed their time at Charnwood. An excellent range of activities and outings. Staff always on hand to chat if needed.
I would definitely recommend.

Charnwood have been fantastic in helping my little boy adjust to preschool life and he has come on leaps and bounds since starting in September.
The opportunities they offer are amazing. My little boy is always out on adventures and he loves forest schooling.
Excellent setting with excellent staff!

My son has been attending the nursery since he was nine months old. The transition has been smooth and the care received is exceptional. Wonderful place for children to learn and grow.

The staff and facilities are amazing. The experience they give my son is outstanding, the staff are so friendly, it’s like a big family they go above and beyond to help you. They give advice when asked. They give him structure in his day to get him ready for when he goes to school. They spend time really
getting to know him as an individual and using his likes and dislikes to plan what they do sometimes. By far the best nursery.

My child really has come a long way since starting here. I never even had a visit around any other nurseries, I just knew Charnwood was the one and I was correct. My son loves his days here and his speech has come along a lot recently with the staff and his peer's help. The moving up rooms helped this
too.

My son is one year old and goes to nursery one full day a week.
He settled quickly and loves the variety of food.
He is developing well and I am happy with the care he receives.

I love Charnwood Nursery and Preschool.
Both of my children attended the setting.
The facilities and staff are second to none. I have recommended to numerous friends whose children also now attend.

I am extremely proud with my decision to enrol my two boys at Charnwood Nursery. The nursery provides an extremely stimulating learning environment for the children, there are loads of outdoor activities. Forest school is one of my boys favourite. I would recommend this nursery as it's one of the best
nurseries around.

My son started at Charnwood nursery last September and after initially struggling to settle in, I am happy to say he loves going now.
The staff are all warm, friendly and welcoming. In particular two members of staff make me feel confident to leave my son in a safe and enjoyable environment. The structure
of the day and the activities that take place never cease to amaze me. So glad we chose Charnwood nursery - we will all miss it.

I feel so lucky that my son enjoys coming to school so much as it makes the mornings so much easier. He is always greeted by the staff with big smiles all round and can't wait to tell me how much fun he has had when I pick him up. It really is a friendly and professionally run nursery and I certainly
wouldn't dream of sending him anywhere else.

I have not a bad word to say about Charnwood.
My daughter has been attending since she was 4 months old and now she is 4 years old.
The staff are fantastic with the children and the activities they do and going out and about is just fab.
My daughter has come on leaps and is a very confident, clever
little girl, and Charnwood has had a big part to play in this.
I can't thank them enough!
Amazing nursery!

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.
The children always seem very happy, occupied and the staff engage well with the children.
The ladies in mini-explorers, where my son is cared for, are always attentive and supportive of my son's needs and wants.
They are very good when relaying how
my son was on the day.
The management team have also been very accommodating and understanding.
Overall this nursery is nothing short of excellent.

The staff at the nursery are amazing, dedicated, caring, knowledgeable. It's clear that they love their jobs and care for those in their charge. They are always happy to give my daughter cuddles and most or perhaps all those working at the nursery know her by name even though she's been there less than
a year. Staff are always willing to listen to and accommodate, if appropriate, my requests and give me reassurance if I have questions. My daughter particularly loves the outdoor play and she often goes out on local trips and the state of her clothes at the end of each day is clear evidence of the fun she's had. Nursery even put on a free course for parents to help with understanding your child's behaviour and responding in a manner that helps you and your child.

My daughter has been attending Charnwood since she was 11 months old. She has just moved to pre-school. The staff have made her move to suit her needs and introduced her slowly, and have encouraged her along the way and helped her settle. They have done this with all her moves. The nursery is a
lovely place and feels homely... like a big family. Even though my daughter may shed tears when I leave, when I collect her she always tells me how much of a nice day she has had! Thank you to all the staff.

The nursery provides excellent care for my child with lots of outdoor space for children to play in any weather.
The staff are always very polite, professional and genuinely caring with individual needs.
It's an excellent environment and I would recommend it to anyone.
