My youngest daughter joined the nursery a few months ago, my eldest already attends and has been doing extremely well. My youngest was very shy, played alone and generally quiet and didn't say many words/sentences. Now going to the nursery she's really come on leaps and bounds in all aspects and is almost the opposite in every way. Its lovely to see her be friends with other children her own age, be better at sharing and playing with others. She's loud and playful and her communication has improved tenfold. I can't recommend the nursery enough, they've given such wonderful care and attention to my girls.

Very friendly staff always greet you. Good updates on the app, meals etc. Good communication from staff on your child's well-being and your child's day. Meals are healthy and nutritious. Updates and observations are good quality.

The nursery consistently goes above and beyond for our child, communication with parents is exceptional and we always feel informed about their progress. The food is nutritious, and there are always plenty of snacks should my child get hungry. Extremely caring staff who provide such a happy and safe environment for the children who attend the nursery. Attentive admin staff who are always on hand should you need guidance or assistance with anything. A lovely outdoor space and added bonus of the big sky indoor play! We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for our child, they are always excited to go to nursery. We love Apricot Day Nursery!

Lovely nursery, have been taking my little girl for over two years and always been happy with the care and attention given to my child. She really enjoys going and has made several special bonds with key members of staff. The staff are also very supportive of parents and help with any issues or concerns and provide good advice. The facilities are good with a lovely garden area.

Apricot Nursery is truly a wonderful place for little ones. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts both children and parents at ease. The staff are friendly, caring, and professional. One of the things that really sets Apricot Nursery apart is their excellent communication. They provide daily updates with pictures, which is such a reassuring touch for parents. It's wonderful to see what activities the children have been enjoying throughout the day. The nursery is well-organized, clean, and filled with stimulating resources that encourage curiosity and development. I highly recommend Apricot Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, friendly, and professional childcare setting.

I have had my both children at Apricot Nursery, when the big one had to go to school in September, I wanted to find a nursery for the little one close to the school but he was so attached and close to the staff members that we decided it is best for him to stay at Apricot nursery. The staff are very friendly and always helpful, my son loves to have cuddles from them every morning, he even pronounces their names at just 2 years old. He is bilingual now, started to talk in English and this is because of staff having many activities with him on a daily basis as we do not talk in English at home. The management is great, greeting us with a big smile every morning, always ready to help if it is needed. We can not thank them all enough for how our little one settled in so quickly. Well done team at Apricot Nursery!

Apricots Nursery is a fantastic setting for young children and I cannot praise the staff enough. My eldest has been attending for over a year and instantly warmed to the staff/her peers and it's a joy to see her genuinely excited to go into nursery. Her development is thriving and the variety of activities is great. Having big sky next door is an added bonus for days they need to burn off energy and the balance of indoor/outdoor play is lovely to see. Both children attend the setting and are always well fed and cared for and the staff are very attentive, kind and nurturing. The Wise Owls staff have also been brilliant at helping through changes such as potty training. The admin staff are also extremely helpful and flexible, they are very welcoming and everyone I have met at the nursery so far are friendly and engaging and it is very apparent they all care for the children.

My son with autism goes twice a week and he absolutely loves it. He struggled for a long time to get used to it and to be comfortable and even though he has tough days there still he has more better days than worse. They have made him feel welcomed and safe. They have supported me through all the hardships and tough things as a single parent you go through. They have also helped me every step of the way with his early help and even contacted a children's charity to get me help. They are very supportive and you can message them or ring them at any time and they always answer and try to help as best they can. My son has come on so much since being there. They do not push my boy to integrate too much if he doesn't feel it and they do whatever they can to help him and get his confidence up.

My two children have been attending since March 2023. My children adore their key workers and talk about them at home during play or walking into the nursery. My kids often run to nursery and are smiling and happy at pick up too. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The room staff are happy to give detailed handovers, or if as a parent I am in a rush I know all the information is on their nursery app. The management team are helpful and friendly. Always happy to talk to you with an open-door policy and keep parents informed of any news, updates or upcoming events on the nursery app. The nursery recently renovated its outdoor space which my children love as I can see from the photos they provide weekly. They also provide monthly observations with a focus on the EYFS. With access to the next-door soft play centre in times of bad British weather! My children are happy, healthy and thriving and I know it's been in part from the support from their time at nursery. Highly recommend.

My daughter went to this nursery when she was younger. It was the first nursery we had put our daughter in after looking around many it just felt like the right one. As hard as it is to drop off as a first-time parent, we always found the staff to be so friendly and welcoming to both us and our daughter. Our daughter came on leaps and bounds with her development and loved going and exploring all on offer. The staff were always able to help with any questions we had and we always felt she was safe. She loved being outside and exploring the lovely outdoor space they have and they always did a variety of well-planned activities indoors and outdoors which were shared with us daily They followed her routine and she always felt settled there which was definitely a big thing. Thank you again to all the hardworking staff. I would definitely recommend this nursery as it is a lovely setting and they always have a variety of exciting planned activities for all ages.

My children have all passed through this nursery. The staff are warm and welcoming always wearing a smile on their faces. They provide feedback on your child's activities for the day and upload pictures and short videos on their app. I have 2 kids who were diagnosed with ASD and the nursery helped me to get to the right people in time for my kid's diagnosis. They've supported both kids all the way and still ask about my son's progress now that he is in primary school. I cannot stop speaking about how good this nursery is. I have recommended them to a few friends and I hope they get on board.

Staff are always helpful and the care of my kids has been of paramount concern to all the staff. There have been no safeguarding issues for me to worry about and my kids have grown in confidence and wellness. They are always provided with healthy meals to suit all dietary requirements. Management and staff are always mindful of parents' feelings and will lead a parent from being a new parent to one that is confident in their abilities. Thank you, for continuing to provide such amazing care.

We moved our son from another local nursery as we were unhappy with the care so were understandably apprehensive about starting a new setting. Apricot has been fantastic since day 1, always get so much information on handovers. Even if our son is sad when going the staff are so good at settling him in. A few staff members, in particular, have made such a positive impact on our son and he speaks so fondly of them. Management are so understanding of personal situations and very accomodating. Our son has come on so far since joining so pleased. I really feel like he will be ready for school next year when he goes.

Great place for children! My son has been going there for a year and is very happy! Everyone there is very friendly, always responds when I have a question. They are always smiling and behaving very well. Amazing teachers, my boy likes them very much. My child feels at home there, he has a lot of friends and looks forward to going every day. In a year there has been extraordinary progress, the teachers are amazing! The food is fresh and very tasty. I know my child is in good hands when he goes there. I hope one day my other child can go there. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who wants a good place for their child!

Finding a nursery is extremely hard so finding the perfect nursery is even harder. We found one. Our boy was so anxious and in tears, absolutely normal, all the staff helped and cared for our boy so much he settled in 2 weeks. The manager is the kindest and most caring manager, went that extra mile to get our little boy in, no stress at all - thank you. Outstanding staff, especially 2 members of staff in particular, who have been so kind and gentle in helping him settle. He adores them. Also all the other kind ladies in the Pioneer Room. All the children are so friendly, no other nursery is the same, your child is their name and not a number. The food is great. Outside and inside activities are amazing so much for them to explore. A brilliant online system where you can see what your child has done, also pics and what they've eaten. I can't fault this nursery, it runs smoothly and everyone is happy to help and guide your child in the right direction. Thank you to all of you for running a 10/10 nursery.

My son has been going here since he was one and a half. I always worried it was too soon for him to be going to nursery. However I noticed the difference in his behaviour, his speaking is so fluent. He has learnt so much that I know isn’t what myself or his dad has done but the nursery. It’s a very settled place for my son. He absolutely loves going to nursery. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The setting itself is lovely. I would choose this nursery over any. Parents are kept up to date with what the children are doing in advance which is great. Weekly entry’s about your child’s week is also a bonus. A great nursery couldn’t fault the place. Also the only nursery I could find with perfect working hours 8-6 a lot I’ve seen are school hours which aren’t practical.

My little girl loves going to Apricot, the practitioners always greet her with a big smile and open arms. I enjoy seeing the daily photos on the app and seeing all the different activities they provide on a daily basis.
