Lime Grove Day Nursery is a wonderful nursery and I've had the pleasure of watching my son thrive there since he was 18 months old. As a parent, it's natural to have concerns about leaving your child with others, but from the start, the staff at Lime Grove have been professional and reassuring, giving me peace of mind that my child is in great hands. The nursery has well-maintained facilities and ensures all children are safeguarded and well-cared for, which every parent values. They've created a positive and supportive environment. I also love the regular updates through their online app. Seeing pictures of my child and learning about his activities helps me stay connected. The app also keeps parents informed about nursery news. Above all, the staff at Lime Grove are exceptional. Their dedication and care truly make the nursery what it is and my son has flourished under their care. We love the nursery and are grateful for everything they do. Keep up the fantastic work.

My daughter has been attending Lime Grove since she was 11 months and now is 3 years old. I have nothing but positive feedback for Lime Grove. She has been nurtured and supported throughout every stage and it is without doubt that the staff really care about the children they look after. As a parent, I feel completely confident and at ease leaving her at Lime Grove and am always informed and updated on all that I need to know. I would 100% recommend Lime Grove to anyone looking for an early years childcare provider as my daughter has flourished here.

My little boy started at Lime Grove in September when he was 9 months old and we've been really pleased with the nursery so far. He settled in really quickly and loves being there, he gets excited in the morning when he realises where he is going!

I only have positive things to say about this nursery. My son has developed great social skills and learning development during his time here. Each staff member is driven to ensure the quality of the nursery is maintained to a high degree. I feel comfortable leaving my son with the team knowing I will receive a thorough handover upon collection. The Quality Manager, Deputy Manager and my son's Key Workers at Ladybird, Bumblebee and Preschool have shown exceptional support and strive to achieve the best outcome for him. If only Lime Grove was an actual primary school, I would happily leave him till secondary school.

We have been lucky enough to send both our son and daughter to Lime Grove since they turned 1 and we are absolutely delighted with the care and attention they receive. We have now had experience in each of the rooms and it is such a happy nursery with such thoughtful and engaged staff who always go the extra mile. There are always great activities planned and the staff are constantly thinking of new and interesting ways to organise the rooms and the outside facilities to keep the children engaged. They also plan lovely extra circular activities to get parents involved from stay and plays to the Summer Fete.

The care and development of my child is brilliant. I always feel 100% confident he will be well looked after. They do a variety of activities and my child always talks about what they have done that day. The outside play area is wonderful and my son loves it when he gets to play outside. I would highly recommend Lime Grove Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my son.

My son has been at Lime Grove for almost three years since he was 6 months old. All of the staff have been excellent, providing him with a safe environment and have always gone above and beyond to support his development and transition across the rooms. He has really thrived in this nursery and I feel he has always been in kind and nurturing hands thanks to all of the staff but especially his key workers. The manager manages the nursery and has created a welcoming and supportive environment for the parents, always taking a keen interest in all the children and providing advice and guidance whenever needed. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

My son has enjoyed his time during his years at the nursery. He has developed well and gained plenty of friends. His learning has improved.

Lime Grove is a wonderful nursery. After viewing at least 6 different nurseries and not liking them for different reasons, Lime Grove felt like the right one for my 9-month-old. I loved that they made food from fresh and that they provided everything (formula, meals, nappies, wipes, bottles), my daughter didn’t take to the breakfast cereal (fussy!) so the nursery kindly provided porridge which she has at home and loves. I was really worried about her sleeping well at nursery as there was not a separate sleeping room, however she sleeps great which is so reassuring. All the ladies working in the baby room are great, so welcoming, friendly and attentive. I was so keen to send my daughter to a nursery where I felt that they were invested in her development and Lime Grove is very keen to help her with crawling, walking etc.

Very happy with the care provided to my daughter at Lime Grove. They have always been really supportive of her development and really informative with the handover at the end of the day! She has been attending since she was nine months old and is now three. She has always enjoyed going and has learnt so much during her time there!

I'm very happy with the care provided by Lime Grove. My son has attended for the last 3 years and moved through all the rooms in this time. I feel that the nursery is well run and the staff seem to be engaged and hardworking. The outdoor space is excellent and the children have plenty of time to play outside in a safe, enclosed and exciting place. As my son is now in pre-school, the staff have been working hard to help prepare him for school, both with his education (mark making, phonics etc.) and life skills and doing tasks independently for himself. The nursery put on several events throughout the year and caregivers have the chance to be involved (such as parents' afternoon teas, etc.) which helps to build the nursery community and helps you get to know the staff. I highly recommend Lime Grove.

All three of my girls have been through Lime Grove Nursery and I've had a great experience of both the staff and setting for all three. I would say I'm quite a clingy mum and the staff catered for my needs as well as those of my children. The way that each room has members of staff that know the children so well is so lovely and as my littlest one (3) has found going to nursery the hardest it's been absolutely imperative that I trust and know well every member of staff in the room. I also think the way the key person works in each room is brilliant - my daughter's key person has really got to know and understand my daughter, has again really helped everything from what she likes to play with to how she goes to sleep. All in all Lime Grove has been a fantastic place to have my children at.
14 September 2023
Lime Grove was our first choice of nursery and they are fantastic! My child started earlier this year at 11 months old and she was very anxious of strangers. Seven months on and she is a different child and much more confident. I am a worrier so I am reassured by the updates I receive via the app and it's lovely to see photos of her having fun. They have been very good with my daughter's allergy and I feel the appropriate level of processes are in place to avoid mistakes. The only recommendation I would make would be for the dairy alternative milk to be a fortified option, but this is not a criticism. The staff at Lime Grove are brilliant, and they know each child by name. Each room has a diverse range of cultures which is celebrated, and they encourage a variety of play and lots of play time outside in the garden. I would highly recommend Lime Grove and thank you to the staff for all you do.

An excellent, friendly and caring environment for young children to grow and develop. Staff are incredibly warm and everyone always seemed to know our child by name, even if they didn’t work in the actual room. Over the course of our two years attending Lime Grove, our child really learned a lot: in only two sessions a week, he developed abilities in basic numeracy and literacy, frequently coming home with new knowledge that we had never expected him to have already acquired. Snacks and meals always seemed balanced and nutritious (and to his liking). Only one small suggestion for improvement would be to dampen the ambient noise levels in the rooms (mainly Butterflies) with acoustic absorbing panels or something similar. The noise levels in there always seemed high whenever I went in, and I think it would contribute to a calmer environment for the children if something were done to remedy this.

Lime Grove has been a great experience for our little boy. The improvements in his fine motor skills as well as his eating has been amazing. He comes home every evening absolutely shattered and loves going in the morning.

Both of my children currently attend Lime Grove Day Nursery (Caterpillars and Bumblebees). The staff in both rooms are brilliant. My girls love the nursery. Overall, they offer the best care and attention a parent could wish for and I cannot recommend them enough. My eldest had a severe speech delay before starting at Lime Grove Day Nursery. After nearly a year, her language soared and she's caught up with her peers. The family inclusive activities are brilliant, such as Mother's Day tea, Grandparent's Day and other stay and plays. Children also get the opportunity for external experiences, such as seeing police officers/cars and the fire engine. The planned activities are age appropriate and encourage children to be independent with day to day activities. Their app keeps parents updated with photos and milestones. Parent's evenings are informative and a good chance to discuss progress with your child's key person. They have also been excellent when transitioning from nappies to the potty.

I have been super impressed by the staff and services at Lime Grove. From day one they have been kind, helpful and reassuring. Our daughter is thriving there she really loves the carers and has got so much out of the daily activities - from painting, water/ice play, sandpits and story time! I've loved how much interaction the babies get.

My two children have attended Lime Grove since they were one year old, and we've had a fantastic experience throughout. The staff are excellent - incredibly professional and caring and build great connections with the children. They go the extra mile to help children develop and aim to be flexible to their needs. The rooms are always very welcoming with lots of rotating activities and children are encouraged to be independent in choosing what to play with as well as for self-care. The garden is definitely a bonus, a lovely area which is well maintained and has lots to do. The food is healthy, varied and well-balanced. Would highly recommend Lime Grove - the team feels like extended family and it will be a sad day when my youngest leaves.

Limegrove is a fantastic nursery. All staff I meet are polite and always say hello. My child is in bumblebee class and he loves going to nursery, the staff are attentive, happy and upbeat and all the children are always busy playing or doing actives when I go in there. Overall I am extremely happy with the service and care provided, i would recommend the nursery to any new parent looking to send their child to nursery.

My daughter has been at Lime Grove Day Nursery since she was 7 months old, I have always found the staff very attentive, caring and focused. She recently went up to Pre-school this year and I can't credit the team enough for her development, she is learning something new each week and if there are areas she needs more work on, they invest time in doing this. Thank you Lime Grove!
