Overall Experience

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Centre Place Nursery for our daughter. From the very first day, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and attentive. Our daughter has thrived in this nurturing environment, and we have seen significant growth in her social and cognitive

skills.
The activities and programs offered are engaging and educational, and the facilities are always clean and well-maintained. The communication from the nursery has been excellent, keeping us informed about our daughter's progress and any upcoming events.
We are truly grateful for the positive impact Centre Nursery has had on our daughter's development, and we highly recommend this nursery to other parents.
Thank you to the entire team for your dedication and hard work!

Overall Experience

I was recommended this nursery by a good friend of mine, she mentioned she can't fault this nursery one bit and that her children come out crying not because they are unhappy it is because they don't want to leave so with that I made a call to the nursery and was met with the most warm loving voice

who was the manager. My child is on the spectrum and I am amazed at how well they have helped in my child's development the children in the nursery are treated like they are their own children, and the staff go above and beyond they listen to your struggles and absolutely will do there best to make it easy for you. The team there are just truly the best. I do live a bit far from the nursery but for my child to have the best level of care I was willing to travel.

Overall Experience

My son has additional needs and was always excited about his days here. The staff were amazing with him, really understanding of his needs and helped him massively with his progress and confidence. Staff are always happy and friendly, with good communications. Also get updates on their app about your

child's day while they're there which was nice. He has now moved up into school but if Centre Place was still an option, I'd 100% have him back there as he was definitely much happier with these guys, goes to show how much they all did for him whilst he was there and how happy he was. I couldn't have picked a better nursery for him. They are the best! We miss you guys!

My daughter has really enjoyed being at nursery. She used to go in with no problems, running up to the staff and putting her arms up for a cuddle. She has really developed whilst attending, especially with her confidence and independence. The staff and management were always helpful and approachable.

I also really appreciated the use of their app and being able to see exactly how my daughter's day had been.

My daughter is so happy at this nursery. Since she’s been there, she’s been such a happy child and well-engaged. I will definitely recommend for others to take their children there. The staff and management are great too. They are always ready to help with any questions I might have. So supportive and

helpful in a lot of ways. I am such a happy parent because my daughter is happy at the nursery.

Overall Experience

Since my children have been attending the nursery they have really gained confidence and are developing new skills, their communication skills are improving, in fact, everything has improved since attending this setting. The staff go above and beyond to be helpful and kind and I feel my children will

miss this place when it's time to move on to a new setting and so will I. Once again, I would like to praise the staff and management at this setting, professional all the time and so invested in each and every child, it's a beautiful thing to witness. Centre Place Nursery came highly recommended from my health visitor and other families in the area and I'm very happy my children are here, so a massive thank you to all the staff and management.

Great school. After changing my son from another school to this one, my son felt so welcomed. He’s very happy to be at this school. Teachers are very nice and helpful. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within your child – their good behaviours and achievements; and they know

the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise, highly recommended.

Overall Experience

Both my children came here after having to take them out of their old nursery.
They started two months before the summer holidays, they immediately loved the place and all the staff are absolutely amazing and so welcoming. My children have come so far in such a little space of time and I couldn't

recommend this nursery more! The best nursery in town! Thank you all for showing so much kindness, love and support to my children. This isn't just a nursery to my children, this is their extended family. None of my children has ever had any issues and the staff communication with the parents is so easy and comfortable.
My third child will definitely be joining the Centre Place Nursery family in September and I am so excited for him.

Great nursery. The staff in the baby room are brilliant with my little girl, she has progressed so much after starting at seven months old, they have lots of different activities to do and a great outdoor area, the cleanliness is brilliant too. They constantly communicate with me and I love the app,

I can see everything she has done that day and eaten and even her nappies.

My granddaughter loves going to nursery at Centre Place Nursery, recently she was diagnosed as autistic and the care they give my sensory seeker is outstanding. The handovers are easy as she is so excited to be there. They have things in place to deal with her special needs and work with me and the

speech therapist on what we are doing at any one time. I am so grateful to them all for the care they have for her.

My 2-year-old son has learned a lot here. He has become confident in exploring and communicating. All the staff are super nice, the senior practitioner, nursery practitioner and deputy manager have been wonderful to my toddler. They not only look after my son but also provides ongoing advice on various

matters which was very helpful for me as a first-time mother. They also have a lovely garden, my son loves playing outdoors. I can't recommend them enough for their genuine love for children, their affection and their sincerity.

Overall Experience

Both of my children currently attend this nursery and have since they were both under 1 year old. The staff are absolutely incredible and my children love coming here. The communication between staff and parents is fantastic, be it via phone, face to face or on the app. There is such a family feel and

they treat each and every child as if they were their own. The facilities in the nursery are amazing. The garden is huge and has lots of equipment and activities set up for them to play with and inside there are reading nooks, sensory areas and lots of imaginative play. I honestly cannot fault this nursery and would recommend it to anyone who wants their children to go somewhere safe, fun and inclusive.

Reply from Tara Simpson, Manager at Centre Place Nursery

Thank you so much for this review. It is an absolute priveledge to look after your children and it is so lovely to hear your comments - I feel so proud to be part of this team. Thank you again, this is what continues to motivate us - making a difference to children and their learning through play.

My child has had a wonderful time at this nursery if only for a short time, I have had no issues at all, all of the staff are great, easy to talk to and have always kept me up to date with progress, my child has learnt alot since going here, it's a shame she has to go to school. The nursery itself is

great, a nice place to be. My child settled in straight away, it's a great nursery for all children who attend.

My two children couldn't wait to get back to nursery after the holidays. They have both formed good relationships with staff members and always come home and talk to me all about their day. I have been very happy with the way the nursery dealt with Covid-19 and helping to ensure my children are safe.

Would definitely recommend. I feel comfortable leaving my children knowing they are happy and are going to have a lot of fun!
