My daughter has been attending this nursery since the Bunnies group and is now in the Foxes group. She absolutely loves going each morning, which is a testament to the welcoming and nurturing environment the staff provide. I've noticed remarkable progress in her development on the days she attends, from her social skills to her confidence and creativity. The staff are attentive, caring, and dedicated to ensuring each child thrives. Thank you to the entire team for making her nursery experience so enjoyable and beneficial.

We have nothing but positive things to say about Linskill. The staff are extremely friendly, great with the children and provide a loving, warm and caring environment for everyone. I felt confident leaving my daughter here from the very first day when she was 9 months old and she has loved every minute since. The resources, access to outside space and extracurricular opportunities they provide are fantastic. We really loved it here!

Linskill is a home-from-home for my daughter. The staff are so nurturing and she felt at home straight away. They’re also so knowledgeable and direct all activities to encourage development. They regularly do outings, take the children to the garden on-site or think up creative messy play. Food is outstanding - I’m often quite jealous of her meals - and communication is exceptional. It’s so lovely getting app updates on all her activities throughout the day. Couldn’t recommend this fantastic place enough.

Linksill has been exceptionally transformative for my daughter and I cannot recommend it highly enough! After considering multiple of nurseries within the same area we decided on Linksill based on their general approach to teaching, child welfare, ethics and culture. Our daughter is always engaged, happy and confident - she is constantly learning new things and her general demeanour is bright and joyful. She's made friends and looks forward to going. In terms of teaching, there's always a variety of activities which the staff clearly put lots of effort into and encourage them to explore. They are taken out to different places and I know she's safe and happy. Communication is consistent and the quality of information shared to each parent is of a really high standard - you can tell they take the time to write about each child individually..something I know not every nursery does! The menu is varied and healthy with lots of options and the children are encouraged to try new things. Its exceptional!

The nursery has provided a really safe and caring environment for our daughter who has thoroughly enjoyed her time and made some really great relationships with other children and the staff. She has developed really well and learned lots of good habits along the way.

Linskill Nursery is a wonderful place! Our son really blossomed during his time there. We've only just moved away a few weeks ago and he talks about the teachers and all his friends at Linskill nearly every day still. The variety of activities and engaging play are outstanding. We loved seeing pictures and updates via their app. It really showed how involved the children and staff are in all activities. During Christmas, our son came home and tried to teach us Christmas songs along with the corresponding sign language. It was wonderful to know they're learning skills which will be inclusive to others. We could always sense how much the staff cared for our son and it made us feel so safe with him in their care. I wish we could've stayed in the area for many reasons and Linskill Nursery is one of them!

My little boy has been at Linskill for 2.5 years and he loves it. The staff are great and they create such fab things to do daily. My little boy particularly loved being outside and they spend a lot of time doing this, helping building, planting and learning. Wonderful experience. Looking forward to sending my youngest there.

The staff at Linskill Nursery are amazing with my little boy. They are caring and patient and I feel like they genuinely care about my child. My son has additional needs and is non-verbal, yet they always try and include him in activities. He often chooses to be on his own as he likes his own space. They always greet him warmly, call him by his name and ask all the other children to say goodbye upon leaving although he can't talk back. The other children try to comfort my little boy if he becomes upset and I think this demonstrates that the staff teach the children to be kind and include others. I was extremely nervous to put my little boy into the nursery as he struggles to communicate his needs. I one hundred percent made the right choice choosing Linskill Nursery. They have an incredibly supportive Special Education Needs Coordinator team. Their outdoor play area is great too with lots of space and things to explore.

I can't rate Linskill highly enough! My little one joined at around 9 months old having moved from another nursery and joined the Bunnies room for babies. I was nervous about how he'd settle given his sporadic napping but the staff are brilliant and met his needs with absolute ease. He loves nursery and I love knowing he is safe, happy and content whilst there. We get regular updates about his meals, activities and nap times which is great too. I would absolutely recommend it to anybody worried about leaving their little one because Linskill will make you and your child forget those worries very quickly.

My little boy absolutely loves Linskill Nursery! The staff are fantastic with him and have really taken time to get to know him and ensure that he feels settled. The range of activities is excellent and I love getting the updates on the app to see what he’s been doing. He’s definitely grown in confidence and skills since he has been at Linskill. He especially loves the Wild Garden and Forest School. We’d highly recommend the nursery to anyone!

Our son has been here for the last eighteen months, he’s two and a half now and he’s come on really well. They’ve handled the pandemic really well and now we’re able to go into the room to collect him it’s been lovely to see what a great setup they have. The staff all work really hard and we’re very grateful for all they do.

My little boy switched to Linskill nursery from elsewhere and we are really pleased we made the move. He has settled so well and the staff seem really knowledgeable in their jobs and looking after the little ones. It's a lovely calm environment. We receive updates and all the staff are really lovely and engaging. He eats really balanced meals and seems really happy and to be progressing well in all areas. I'd definitely recommend this nursery to new parents looking for a place for their little one(s).

Linskill is a wonderful nursery, our children love going and we have complete peace of mind that they are very well cared for. The staff are phenomenal, they know every child and form lovely bonds with them. The wild garden, Forrest school, and extra activities are brilliant. Lots of learning, fun, and love at Linskill Nursery

My daughter has been at the nursery for two and a half years - the staff are so welcoming, friendly, and really know each child as an individual. My daughter really enjoys her nursery days, the wild garden and forest school being particular highlights. And the management team are really helpful and supportive too. I highly recommend this nursery!

The nursery team have been really supportive and patience with us as first time parents, anxious about entrusting the care of our little girl to others. They have eased us and our little one into a new rhythm with kindness and communication. Everyone is friendly and it’s reassuringly responsive.

My daughter has been going to the nursery since a year old (last September) the staff have been brilliant all the way through, she started in Bunnies class which is for the younger kids with naps and messy play (much rather at nursery) and soon went to Squirrels as she needed fewer naps and was toddling around more, she loves going and is excited running to grab her bag and coat. They do great food which she loves as well as outdoor play at the park and with the trees and see the ducks which she loves. I know all of this as the staff have been brilliant with taking photos of her progress and letting us know about every stage of development. Really happy with how she's getting a good start to life and enjoys getting out of the house to make friends.

Worst place ever to send your child. My child started when he was six months old and was there for roughly a year. Every other week we were getting phone calls to pick him up after an hour or so because the staff couldn’t do their job properly and he was always screaming hysterically when we picked him up. We still had to pay for the full day. Soon as my son arrived for the day the staff looked very unwelcoming and couldn’t be bothered. My son is now in a different nursery and loving it. We have never been phoned up once and he is full of smiles when we pick him up. Linskill nursery is still pestering us now with emails and phone calls so we are having to go through Citizens Advice to sort this matter out. Awful place stay clear.

Our son loves going to Linskill nursery - all of the staff members are enthusiastic and are great at encouraging the children in play - ensuring they develop mentally, socially and physically. They do lots of outdoor play and messy play which our son loves. They can also use the sensory room at the centre which is great for the younger children. The Famly app is regularly updated so we can see what he is doing and when he has napped / what he has eaten. I would highly recommend Linskill nursery.

We have had a wonderful nursery experience at Linskill from beginning to nearing the end. The nursery is warming and friendly and has a very personal feel all staff members know all of the children and they make them feel very special and safe. The Forrest school is a brilliant weekly addition for the children to really explore and adventure. The wild garden is a grim favourite with our child. This nursery is continually improving and developing and you can see how happy all the children are.
