Dolphins Day Nursery has been fantastic with both of our sons. I couldn't recommend the nursery and staff enough, they have been absolutely amazing. Our eldest is now at school and youngest has been at Dolphins for just over a year and he loves it!

My daughter loves going to nursery - is not only well cared for - but also inspired by all the interesting activities and topics they do. I like the fact that all the members of staff know her - they don't just concentrate on their 'key' children.

Throughout my son's years at the Nursery, he has always been cared for and nurtured at Dolphins second only to his family. All the staff know all the children including the cook who provides some lovely nutritious just like home meals and snacks.
At each age fun and developmentally aimed activities
are organised for the children and through the Facebook pages and Tapestry parents can see what their little ones are doing even when they're at work.
Through parents evenings and a daily catch-up/handover, every child's individual learning and nurturing are strived for.

Great staff and culture within the nursery. Its outdoor space is also really good. Activities change on a daily basis meaning your child is always kept entertained whilst learning.


Excellent communication between staff and parents with a PTA allowing for parent input into the way things are run.


Activities throughout the year which help to add to the mini community feel that Dolphins has created. An all round excellent nursery where you feel that the staff genuinely care and love their jobs.

We have both our boys at Dolphins Day Nursery and could not be happier. The staff are friendly and approachable and really care about the individual children and their interests, strengths and weaknesses. The nursery has a great ethos and promotes good behaviour, kindness and good manners. The children
have lots of excellent opportunities, with forest school
A brilliant baby and pre-school room
And lots of outside play.

Highly recommend Dolphins Day Nursery. Staff are so welcoming when we arrive in the morning to drop our granddaughter off. She is currently in the Preschool room and we receive regular updates via Tapestry telling us what she's been up to that day which is lovely to see.

Both my children have attended Dolphins from the age of 8months, my son has now left for school and my daughter is due to leave for school in Sept 17. They have both attended 4 full days a week. Both they and we have been very happy and comfortable with the care provided at Dolphins. The range of activities
and opportunities are brilliant and the ethos of getting them outside as much as possible is one we value hugely. My son never seemed to be inside whatever the weather which was brilliant for him.

Staff are exceptionally pleasant and cooperative: nothing appears to be too much trouble. The environment is spotlessly clean and stimulating and my granddaughters have been very happy. The food is healthy and nutritious and the girls have been encouraged to try new flavours.

My daughter has just started in the baby room. The settling in process worked really well for us and the girls have been very friendly and accommodating to my babies needs. They have been flexible with the number of settling in sessions she has had before starting, which has been really beneficial
and made the process of leaving her much easier. The gradual build up has helped us both readjust to our new routine. The staff are all friendly and caring and the room is filled with really interesting toys. She loves pulling herself up on and exploring the tunnels of the climbing frame and the messy play activities are really great.

Fantastic nursery.

The free play element is lovely.
The garden is nice too.
Really good range of activities.
Both my children are happy here.
Also the few weekend family days throughout the year are really lovely to be able to come and join

Staff are extremely engaged and provide a stimulating environment linking my toddler to the wider world. I have selected "good" for outside space- we love the playground and that the nursery is surrounded by green space. I think it would benefit from more astro- turf in the large playground.

My son started at Dolphins Nursery almost a year ago. I have always been happy with the nursery. The staff are really friendly and very caring towards my son. They seem enthusiastic about his learning and are creative in their approach to it. The nursery uses an online program called tapestry so that
I can track his progress and see pictures of what he has been doing.
My son also has plenty of opportunity to play outside. The food he receives is varied and nutritious. The nursery are also keen to involve parents and families. Activities have included grandparents afternoon tea, Christmas party, breakfast club and sports day.
Overall I feel confident that Dolphins provides a great environment for my son to be in whilst I am at work.

Great Nursery. Made my son really welcome and give invaluable information on what he has been doing during the day. He really enjoys going and has made big development steps since joining. They have also been really accommodating with my other son even though we decided not to send him in the end.


Thank

you Dolphin.

The nursery was recommended to us when we were deciding which nursery to choose for our daughter and we're happy with our choice. The staff are friendly and get to know the parents as well as the children. The children do a wide variety of activities and really enjoy their time at nursery. I would definitely
recommend the nursery.

Lovely nursery set in school grounds surrounded by woodland. My 2 year old has attended the nursery for nearly a year now and really enjoys it, his social skills and confidence have come on lots since attending the nursery and he has started to form friendships with other children at the nursery which
is lovely to see.
The staff are very caring and he has developed a real bond with these in his room.
