The staff are very diligent and caring and try to form bonds with each of the children. The rooms are kept clean and tidy and there is a wide variety of activities for them to get involved with. We particularly like that this nursery is so close to town but set amongst fields with horses all around.
Lovely outdoor play area and the boys are always happy there.

My niece has attended Busy Bees West Byfleet since April and the nursery have gone above and beyond to help her settle in. Upon collecting my neice I have seen the safety procedures they have in place to ensure I am the designated adult who should be collecting her which was comforting to see. The nursery
always maintains a high standard of cleanliness and staff are always so polite and helpful.

My son and daughter both attend the nursery. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, they provide a really positive learning environment for both children (aged 1+). My daughter aged 1 has settled so well and really enjoys her time there.

Positive Steps staff are always very welcoming to my daughter and me. My daughter feels comfortable and happy. Daily she's stimulated and encouraged to try new things and demonstrate kindness in all that she does. December was an exciting month with preparation for the pre-school Xmas show, all sorts
of craft activities with Xmas theme. All the while staff encourage inclusion and promote confidence. Pre-school is something my daughter looks forward to - great preparation for school next year.

My daughter has been at Positive Steps since April 2015. PS was the first nursery we looked at and the only, we knew immediately this was right.
The staff are all knowledgeable, polite, professional and fun. The variety of activities is great and very educational. The level of care for the children
is amazing and the bond between my daughter and her key carer is great. If you're looking for a great all round nursery, look no further.

I am so happy with the progress and development of my 2 daughters aged 2 years old and 4 years old. The staff are enthusiastic and I feel confident leaving my daughters at the nursery in the knowledge that the girls are being well looked after. In the pre-school, my daughter learns through structured
activities such as baking, science projects and phonics. My 2 year old in the toddler room, learns through more unstructured activities such as painting and play dough.

I love sending both of my children to Positive Steps. The staff are fantastic and the activities are brilliant.
The food is well balanced & my daughter eats far more there than she does at home!
I 100% recommend them.

I chose this nursery because of the location, the enthusiasm of the staff and the facilities. My son has been going there for 2 months and he absolutely loves it. He claps his hands when we get out of the car. The staff are attentive, friendly and caring and they all seem very well trained and enthusiastic
for the job. The nursery itself is clean and tidy and put my mind at rest (that was one of my bullet points) It is also very well secure with CCTV and keypad entry and high fenced garden area. He is also coming along wonderfully with his learning.

We are happy with the care provided by Positive Steps. I feel the activities available are of a high standard and the children are well looked after. There are three members of staff who have been particularly good at providing a caring environment for our child. I do feel however that the nursery could
provide more flexibility with regular days and moving dates when needed. I would like to move dates and times of nursery days on rare occasions.

Positive Steps have been amazing with my daughter, she is so confident and her speech has come on leaps and bounds, they are very accommodating with my daughter's gluten intolerance. Going back to work after having a baby is not easy, but Positive Steps made it easier, all staff are polite and friendly.
Nothing is impossible at Positive Steps.

I pick my niece up 3 times a week and every time is a pleasure. The girls do such a wonderful job, always polite and full of smiles. The feedback is great and the handover sheet (which I give my sister) is fantastic, as I don't remember everything. We have just had sports day which was brilliant, so
well organised and very fun! I cannot find fault with this team. A*.

Lovely nursery, brilliant outdoor environment, fantastic management and brilliant staff. My daughter had never been to a nursery, so we were all very worried about how well she would get on. Well there was no need, the "settle program" was excellent, from the greeting at the front door to the feedback
at the end of the day.

Generally experience is good. I would like to see improvements in the following areas. 1) Less staff turnover- transport/location maybe an issue so perhaps subsidized mini bus?
2) Teeth cleaning- if possible children should ne taught to clean their teeth after their main meal . The new manager is good-
hopefully she will stay on.

My son has been attending Positive Steps for the past 18 months and I can honestly not fault it. All the staff are so kind and caring and I feel so comfortable leaving my son here whilst I work. Everything from the activities to the food are outstanding, management always listen and take on board parents
views and suggestions and the staff are so positive. 5 star service, would highly recommend.

So impressed with the nursery that I have already recommend it to all of my NCT friends. I was so very nervous about choosing right nursery but I have been so happy and confident that I chose the right one. The staff, facilities and care is excellent and my child loves it here!

We are really happy with Positive Steps Nursery. They were fantastic at helping our daughter settle in (she was 9 months when she started) and they found out lots of information prior to her starting to help continue her routine, so she was as happy as possible. They do lots of varied activities and
the staff are friendly, professional and genuinely care about all the babies in their care.

My daughter has recently started at Positive Steps for two mornings a week at the age of 19months. She has settled extremely well and is now very keen to leave the house to get to nursery on a Thursday and Friday! On the few occasions when she has been unsettled, the staff and team have been both nurturing
and supportive. We get a helpful handover review on collection which lets us know how well our daughter has fed, been changed etc. The nursery setting is also excellent- next to open fields with horses!! Thanks to all the team.

Positive Steps is a tremendous nursery with a friendly and professional staff. My daughter has been attending for over a year now and has developed really well in her time there. Her key carer is excellent, as is the rest of the team – always helpful and take all comments on board. Activities and facilities
are well thought out – we especially enjoy the seasonal events such as the summer and Christmas parties, which add a lovely family touch and allow parents to mix and see their children in the environment they spend most of their day in. Have already recommended this nursery to many friends who've since enrolled their own children too.
