We don't have any family nearby, so New Beginnings is our support system, our village! Our baby has been going in since she was 9 months old. Her eating solids has improved herm she loves her care team!

Both of my children have attended New Beginnings and we have found the level of care exceptional. Our children have made very special connections with the team. One of the team even self-taught herself sign language in case she needs it and taught the children too. This melted my heart. My son is very shy and sensitive. Nursery has helped him come out of his shell. The team have taken the time and interest to get to know us as a family and you can tell the team have a strong bond.

New Beginnings are a brilliant nursery who go above and beyond to get to know each child personally and cater to their needs. My son has been with the nursery since he was 9 months old and it's been brilliant. They have worked on his speech and confidence and have recognised the things he loves, like puzzles, and helped encourage this. I love the introduction earlier this year of a reading journal - a great addition for the parents and children. The girls are absolutely amazing and do an incredible job of making you feel so comfortable and keep things professional whilst creating an amazing culture of warmness and love, you can see how much they care about the children. I've never once worried about my son at nursery as I know he loves it!

From day one, my daughter has been extremely happy at New Beginnings. She's always coming home with arts and crafts, singing songs they've learnt and talking about her friends and carers. The staff are lovely and attentive. I love receiving updates via the Parent Zone app. I highly recommend this nursery. It's a truly happy place where your child is in safe hands.

My son has been at New Beginnings since August 2021. Firstly, the nursery has been incredibly flexible with us in terms of accommodating changes in hours due to my employment. He initially attended two days a week and it took him a while to settle, but staff were very patient with him and he now leaps out of my arms to go to them at drop off! He loves going there now, and we have really noticed a difference in his development. The nursery nurses are excellent and I feel extremely comfortable knowing how much they care for him. It is a small nursery, and it shows how they treat adults and children alike as part of the family. They have happily accommodated us in our parenting choices, such as using cloth nappies in the nursery setting, and have been excellent in meeting a dietary requirement our son has unfortunately developed. We are so glad we picked New Beginnings and really appreciate their input & involvement in our sons upbringing.

My daughter has been going to New Beginnings since she was 9 months old in the baby room, she is now 3 in preschool and she loves it. I originally chose it because it was smaller and had a nice cosy family vibe and it has not disappointed. The staff there are fantastic and my daughter always comes home happy from that days events.

We love New Beginnings. The fact that our son runs in every morning without a second look at us speaks volumes. All of the staff are attentive and caring, and this shows in the special relationship my son has with his key workers, and the other staff. The thoughtful activities they carry out, creating seasonal cards, nativity etc are all just a lovely added bonus for us. Leaving my son and going back to work was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but I feel so much better knowing he is in an environment that he loves. I've already confidently recommended New Beginnings to lots of friends and will continue to do so.

My son has been attending New Beginnings since he was one and this will be his last year with them before he starts school in September. I cannot recommend this nursery and the staff enough, they are the loveliest bunch of ladies and they care so much for every child under their care. My son has formed some lovely bonds with his key workers and with all the other children. There is lots of outdoor play, free play and creative activities as well as local outdoor trips. He has a lovely time when he goes to nursery and we’ll be very sad when September comes next year

Since our son began at New Beginnings when he had just turned 1 we have watched him grow into this confident, bright and content little person which is mostly down to the care and attention provided by all the staff at the nursery. When we first viewed nurseries to place him when I returned to work I instantly felt at ease with the environment and the attention to detail of the nursery and ever since leaving him on his first day that feeling has been proven to be well placed as he has become such a fun loving, talented and independent spirit and he truly loves all the staff. This is without doubt a special place for anyone looking to find the right fit for themselves and their child.

New Beginnings has become a comforting second home for my daughter who has been attending New beginnings for two plus years now. All of the staff are lovely and it’s very rewarding to hear what my daughter has been up to throughout the day, plus the fact they have CCTV just for us parents to look at as an added extra for our nerves. The recent Nativity organised by all the members of staff and of course, all of the children was brilliant. The way the children walked in and sat down, took their places at the front of the church was lovely to see, especially the singing. I’m so pleased with my daughter's journey at New Beginnings. I highly recommend, securing a visit here if your child is needing a nursery placement.

New beginnings have been fantastic with my daughter. She loves it there and her key workers have been so kind and loving whilst supporting her development. The nativity play was fantastic and the children clearly enjoyed doing it. I can’t say thank you enough for the care new beginnings take of my little one!

I recently attended my son’s first nativity play and the amount of hard work the New Beginnings Team have put into teaching the children the songs and actions is incredible. My son was singing the songs throughout the day for the last couple of weeks, he was doing the actions in the car (even whilst writing this review he is singing one of the songs!) The Nativity was wonderful and the children were having an amazing time, I have been so impressed with the nursery from the first time I stepped into there, the team are incredible, they work so hard, they’re loving and caring to all the children and it truly is a fantastic nursery, my son is learning new things every day and I cannot thank them enough for all they do.

Our daughter attended New Beginnings Nursery and we would recommend it. She attended the Little Explorers Room and all the staff were so caring, her key carer was so patient and so great with our daughter. The owners, managers and all the staff get to know the children and make you feel welcome as a family. There is always fun and laughter at nursery and the children are always smiling. The food is cooked fresh by the chef and there are always lots of things for the children to do. The only reason for leaving the nursery is because we have moved country otherwise we would have stayed until she goes to school, she was so happy there. It is an excellent nursery - thank you so much to everyone!

My daughter went to New Beginnings when she was one years old and was with them till she was two and a half years old. New Beginnings is an extremely professional and caring nursery. During her time here, I saw my daughter grow physically, mentally and emotionally. I have the highest regard for the care they provide, the staff are extremely honest and genuinely interested in the well-fare of the kids. It is a safe and happy place for kids. I give New Beginnings my highest recommendation.

The nursery has been great with the way they have handled the pandemic and our daughter loves to be there. She is not there full time but it is a fantastic experience for her and we see her come on each week. The team are lovely and I recommend the nursery highly.

Our two arrive at and leave nursery extremely happy, proving that they've had a lovely day and are well looked after. They're also very tired, proving they've has plenty of physical and mental stimulation. The staff have been brilliant with dealing with dietary requirements and I know if I need to talk about anything the manager and the team are happy to chat on the phone, at the gate or by email. The webcam and ParentZone app are great for getting an insight into what they're up to and helps me to know what activities I can continue at home to aid their development.

I cannot praise New Beginnings enough. We were advised to start our son at nursery due to significant concerns with delayed development. I was nervous about this due to various other concerns with weight, skin and generally being quite small. It was the best decision I could have made! Within less than a month he was walking, talking and more confident. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond for him. He has flourished so much thanks to them and I will be forever grateful. There is a real family atmosphere there.

Really lovely nursery with a family feel to it. The staff are brilliant with the children and seem genuinely pleased to be there. They make lots of effort with occasions ie Halloween and Christmas. I always feel confident leaving my son at the nursery. He is safe and well educated and looked after. I would also like to add that they have handled the COVID19 situation exceptionally and are doing great work ensuring its as normal as possible for the children.

New Beginnings were our top choice, our twin boys started here at 6-months-old, and are now three! They will be continuing until the time comes for them to go to school! New Beginnings have been amazing, and the staff are all fantastic, your child is at the heart of everything they do here, not only do they provide the utmost care, they always go the extra mile too! Not to sound cheesy, but I can honestly say it’s more than just a nursery, it’s more like a little family! With regular updates on the parent portal, you always know where your child is as development, which is fab. One of my children has to wear a patch, and honestly, without the support from their bigs room staff, I can honestly say he wouldn’t wear it as he won’t put it on for me! They have helped us through the good time’s and the bad times, and we have always felt their support when needed most. I know when the boys go to big school, it’s not just them that will miss you guys! I will too!

Lovely environment for children. Staff really do their utmost best to help the children have fun, learn and excel. I have noticed a huge difference in the year and few months my child has been there her talking has come along, relationship building, creativity and her learning. Love the home-cooked meals she has all very similar to what we have at home and such a wide variety! They have been absolutely amazing during these difficult times, understanding, informative and honest just what you need when for everyone things are forever changing and the unknown.
