The staff have been really considerate of children coming out of lockdown. They give regular updates of activities being undertaken. They are always approachable. The fact that a lot of the kids end up going to primary school together is a big plus. Highly recommended.

Wonderful staff always willing to help and always smiling. A very gentle way of teaching, they are very active in outdoor play and strong in their curriculum teachings too. My daughters have always been more than prepared for school! Confident and happy and they have absolutely adored being at nursery.
Have amazing friends and having worked as a volunteer I can see they adhere to all policies and procedures. They have a great range of indoor and outdoor learning. Great encouragement to becoming kind/thoughtful children and teachings of diverse cultures too. Always celebrating and focussing on all important festivals with talks and parent contribution. Highly recommend this nursery!

I couldn't recommend Newington Nursery enough!
My daughter came from another nursery in February 2019 and we noticed how quickly she settled in with her new teachers and her new friends. The staff are absolutely fabulous, very friendly, patient and you can tell they really care about the children.
They offer various incredible activities that other nurseries don't offer, like baking and gardening. My child loves going there.
I also appreciate the small number of children (with 2 qualified teachers) and the fact that the preschool welcomes a large number of children from different countries. This diversity allows children to learn about different cultures and to be attentive to others and to learn tolerance from an early age.
I'm over the moon to have a place for my second child next August!

My youngest daughter is at Newington Nursery and is happy, well looked after and stimulated. Her older sister also attended and was really well prepared for school. I would recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a small, caring and community nursery. Staff are experienced, kind, know the children
well and include two qualified teachers. It is a lovely place and I have no hesitation in recommending.

We happened upon Newington Nursery when we first moved to the area three years ago. And what a wonderful experience it has been. We’ve had two children attend this nursery and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are experienced (two qualified teachers) and long-standing. This really is a community affair
and we’ve all made long-lasting friendships. The children experience lots of outdoor and free play but there is also a very gentle focus on learning. There’s also a focus on nature as the practitioners look after the gardens (during and outside of nursery time) and plant vegetables. All with help from the children. The learning journals are great, lots of detailed and frequent updates. The nursery has strong links to local schools and the “big bears” spend many months preparing the transition to big school. The nursery is a charity so all of the funding goes back into providing the best for the children. I couldn’t recommend this one more.

I could not be more pleased with this nursery. Very friendly and caring staff. The online learning journal, which gives me a good idea of how my son is performing in the nursery, is also frequently updated.

My son has been attending Newington Nursery since he was 3 years old. It's a small and inviting nursery. He loves going there and has made great friends. The staff are all very experienced and really care about the children and their progress. We get a learning journal update about once a week (at our
previous nursery, this was provided once a term). Healthy snacks of fruit, vegetables, crackers and pancakes, for example, are provided and they go outside to play as much as possible .....weather permitting! They have had various topics for the children such as countries, animals and dinosaurs and incorporate that into their learning and play. As a parent, we've loved Newington Nursery and would highly recommend.
