Overall Experience

My daughter started as a shy kid and is still wary of strangers. But, here she is just herself, happy and bubbly. I am so so happy, I chose this nursery as they really take good care of my daughter allowing me and my husband to be stress-free knowing our daughter is in safe hands. With us being a pure

vegetarian, the staff makes sure to give her vegetarian food only and the chef goes above and beyond the way to make sure my daughter does not stay hungry. Thank you so much to all the staff members who are playing such an important role in my daughter's life and teaching her right from wrong.

Overall Experience

I have such a warm feeling towards this nursery. My daughter arrived very shy and stranger-wary (she was born during lockdown) and has blossomed into a confident, independent and expressive little girl. The staff and management are so friendly and caring. They have taken the time to get to know her

well and have supported her with so many steps, including being potty-trained before the age of two. They have also laid amazing foundations for her literacy and numeracy too. The food is cooked in-house from scratch and is great quality and varied. It feels hard to name particular members of staff because they are all so wonderful. The nursery is very clean and they have a no-shoes policy in baby classes which I am a fan of. They have dance classes once a week and spend lots of time in the garden. This nursery was recommended to me by three separate parents (present and past) and I do not hesitate to do the same.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Inspire Day Nursery full-time since July 2021. From day 1, the staff have been so approachable and accommodating with answering any questions we had about their care and routine for children. Our daughter's keyworkers have been exceptional, taking care of her needs and

showing a huge interest in her personality and development. We have seen such a significant improvement in her communication and social skills within weeks of starting nursery, as well as her being more independent and confident in herself. We also receive daily reports on her food and drink intake and it shows she engages with lots of activities throughout the day. She always comes home very happy, likes talking about her nursery friends and singing songs she has newly learned. We are very pleased with the level of care and enthusiasm provided by all staff members and we would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

My son is 2 years old now but started attending at 9 months old. It was very challenging for me to leave him at such a young age, but all the staff were so caring and easy to communicate with, that my mummy guilt very quickly eased, as I knew he was well looked after and happy. It's not just the nursery

staff that care for my son daily, that are amazing with the care of my son, it's the whole team (including management), that have taken the time to know my son's personality, likes, dislikes, and get to know me too. Always happy, polite approachable, from first thing in the morning to the evening, throughout the week. I honestly feel that the staff at Inspired Day Nursery are an extension of our family, and I absolutely couldn't recommend them enough.

My son is going here now and my daughter is going into year 2 this year. I really do not know where to start, from the care to the food this place is really a godsend for me. It’s always been so lovely to see my children get trained, learn manners, get educated along with so much love and support, my

mind is at ease knowing that my son is safe and happy at nursery. I really wouldn’t go anywhere else for my childcare. The nursery team have always been kind and professional in all aspects with me and my children.

Overall Experience

I chose to send my daughter to Inspire as my son used to attend 10 years prior and I was very happy with his care and education. Many of the same staff still work at Inspire 10 years later which means the staff are happy to work there, which filters down to the children and parents having a positive

experience with the staff. The staff are extremely friendly, approachable and professional and the child is always lovingly greeted by all the staff they encounter throughout the day, no matter if the member of staff works directly with the child or not. The nursery is very good at communicating with me in regards to notifying me about accidents/illness and asking permission to administer medication/sunscreen or to eat something not specified in her dietary requirements and my daughter is regularly assessed to see how she progressing in her learning and physical milestones. Thank you so much to all the staff and the manager.

Overall Experience

My daughter started this nursery before her first birthday and until this day I can only commend the staff for their efforts and the time they spend teaching and coaching my daughter. Everything was made easy as my daughter was fully potty trained by the age of two. All credits given to this nursery.

My daughter loves all the staff as their very caring and loving. They ensure they find the best way to interact with the children and they ensure that they spot and highlight the children interests, strengths and area of improvements based on the EYFS framework. They use an app so you can log on anytime and check on how your child is doing. They give little video clips to show tasks and are always sending little memorabilia to show and tell. A beautiful Mother's days card lights up my heart. My daughter takes part in dance classes, French and enjoy coming home to show me what she learnt. Amazing, highly recommended!

Very happy with the experience so far. From the first time coming to view up to now. I like their communication. I like their polite mannerisms and how informative they are. I like the tapestry and how it is detailed and filled in everyday. I like how my daughter has progressed. I like the relationship

she has not just with her key worker but all staff members. All in all, I am very happy with Inspire Day Nursery and I would love if I’m still in the area for all my children in the future to also come here.

Overall Experience

Our eldest daughter attended Inspire Day Nursery and the level of care was amazing, she really flourished and that was all down to the wonderful environment created by the Inspire team, so when it came to choosing a nursery for our youngest daughter it was a no brainer... Inspire it was. We felt like

we picked up where we left off. It was wonderful to see the same faces and high levels of care were still in place. Even in these difficult Covid times the staff have created a great nursery, full of varied opportunities. All the staff team made my daughter feel comfortable and the transition went really smoothly. Her key workers give me detailed feedback every day and my daughter has bonded with them. I truly feel this nursery lives up to its name.

Overall Experience

My son joined Inspire Day Nursery in January 2018, he has just turned 3. Inspire Day is very cost-effective. I love the no-shoes policy throughout the nursery, which avoids outside germs from shoes coming into the rooms where the children play, crawl, run or roll around. The manager and the owner run

the nursery very smoothly and are two very understanding ladies no matter the circumstances, they are always available to help you out. My son is quite a character but he is able to be himself at nursery and the staff are very good with teaching him new things like colours, numbers and potty training. Oh my days, potty training was a breeze. Three members of staff, in particular, are amazing. Very informative, friendly and polite. I can't lie they are my favourites. All the staff are equally just as great they love what they do. Inspire Day is not just a nursery it's a family away from home. You can trust and believe that your children will be looked after here. I will recommend this nursery to everyone.

Overall Experience

In Inspire Day Nursery they are very helpful in developing the skills and independence of your child. They listen and attend to your child's needs as well as teaching them to express their needs. In this nursery, the children are taught to help one another, interact with each other and share, which

hereby develops your child's communication and social skills which helps at primary school level. They are very informative with parents in terms of your child's need and education support. This nursery actually wants to know your child's interests, hobbies and skills so as to interact better with your child. The staff at this nursery is so kind, affectionate and helpful that you will be rest assured they are in good hands. They safeguard your child and have in place in accordance to covid's new strategies to follow like handwashing which children are picking up very fast.

My son has always been happy to go to nursery, having fun with friends and enjoying a wide variety of activities. I would have no hesitation in recommending Inspire Day Nursery to any of my friends. I have always found the staff to be friendly, flexible and responsive to any concerns I have had. I appreciate

the emphasis on education and preparing him for school, encouraging him with numeracy, literacy and writing, all of which are coming on in leaps and bounds.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since February 2017 she is now 3-years-old. I am extremely happy with this nursery so is my daughter, she gets very excited every morning when I drop her off. When the nursery was closed during COVID-19 she was upset and was keep saying "mummy I want to go

nursery I miss my teachers and friends" when the nursery reopened in June I was very happy in what measures were taken into place for me to send my daughter back to nursery (fantastic job) she gets so much love from the staff from two members, in particular. They always keep you updated in what your child has eaten and what activities they have done on a daily basis. I would highly recommend this nursery to all parents.

Are my kids happy about this nursery? They never cried when leaving them in Inspire Day Nursery and are always asking to go there during weekends or holidays. I am really happy to have taken the decision to bring my kids here. Very professional and friendly staff, with good activities which helps your

kids to develop. Every day you'll get a report about your kids activities, what they've eaten and what they played with. Highly recommended.

Having my daughter at nursery since 2017 and my son since beginning of 2020, I highly recommend Inspire Day Nursery. All the team are really friendly and helpful (even for non-related nursery questions you could have). The rooms are clean and well looked after with everything kids need to develop. The

covid-19 procedure put in place was outstanding and make you (as a parent) feel really secure.

We have known the nursery for a long time. My oldest daughter attended first. She started when she was 6 months old and is now 6 years old. My youngest is almost 3 and has been there since she was 7 months old. She is so happy there and we are happy too. The staff genuinely care about the children

and us too and we know that she is well looked after. She loves going and always comes home telling us about the fantastic things she has done during the day. I couldn't imagine sending my children anywhere else. We have recommended Inspire to a number of our friends over the years and know they are and have been happy too. Inspire is a great place for the children to start their life journey.

Inspire Day Nursery is the best nursery that I have come across in all aspects. My first child started going to Inspire when he was three, now he is eight. The staff and everything about the nursery is above my expectations and now my second and third children also go to Inspire Day Nursery. It's still

the same staff, they are so good and polite. Cleaning is top-notch, food that my kids love, Inspire is the best. My kids love Inspire Day Nursery and so do I.

Overall Experience

The Inspire team work hard to provide a safe and caring environment for the children’s learning. As a parent, it’s hard to leave your baby/toddler in any childcare situation and the support of the Inspire team has enabled me to do so. The level of comfort I have from all the staff is key as they are

all approachable and accountable even when they not directly responsible for my child.
I receive daily updates on my daughters day and appreciate how her play and interactions are then linked to her learning and development. The team have put a lot of thought into the framework and genuinely do Inspire the children to learn and develop in play. Another point worth mentioning is the freshly prepared food on site. The selection is great with lot’s of fruit, healthy and varied options, definitely not all fish fingers and nuggets.
I cannot recommend highly enough and my daughter genuinely loves attending and runs in every day.
