I feel really lucky that my son gets to attend Edwinstowe. It's a really great setting with lovely staff and clean, bright and inviting rooms. My son enjoys his time at nursery and has formed lovely relationships with the staff - which makes it easier dropping him off! I really appreciate the handovers and updates too. Thank you Edwinstowe Nursery for caring for my son and making sure he's well looked after.

The nursery staff are excellent at ensuring that the child feels safe and well taken care of. They go out of their way to have different themes every day to ensure the child is engaged. It is very daunting sending your child to nursery away from you, but the nursery puts us at ease knowing they are well looked after.

The staff at University Nursery at Edwinstowe Close (Cambridge) have been amazing, helping my son settle in when he was just 9 months old, and recently with his move to a new room. He has formed lovely bonds with the staff and he waves and says 'hiya' to everyone when we arrive. I'm always impressed that everyone we encounter knows his name and greets him with a big smile. He is very happy there and I feel really confident that he is in good hands. Also, being a first-time parent I have found the staff to be incredibly supportive and always have time to answer questions or discuss anything I'm a bit worried about.

We have two children at Edwinstowe. Our three-year-old has been there for a year having moved from another nursery (a very smooth transition) and our one-year-old started recently and has settled well. The nursery is fantastic: we and our children love it. The staff are brilliant and always thinking of fun and creative activities, the facilities and outdoor space are well maintained, food is tasty and nutritious, safeguarding and safety are taken seriously, and the whole nursery is well run. Some particular highlights for us are that: - both children spend lots of time outside. - we love to be able to go into the room to collect the children, see them playing, and get to chat with staff. - the staff moved between rooms and got to know all children: within a couple of weeks of our youngest starting it seemed that all staff across the nursery knew her and were up to date on how she was settling in. We strongly recommend Edwinstowe!

Our baby has been attending since she was 7 months. She is always very happy to come to nursery and she's learnt so much over these months. We'd totally recommend it and know we are leaving her in very safe hands.

Excellent care, facilities and activities. Amazing, caring staff. We are very grateful for how well they looked after our son and helped him develop. Our boy really enjoyed coming here over the last two years. There were always really exciting activities. The doors to the garden were always open so children always had the option to play outside. Our boy made so many friends and liked all the staff in his rooms. We strongly recommend this nursery.

Edwinstowe is a true home away from home. The staff are always smiling. They have an infinite imagination and come up with creative ways to make learning experiences matching children's interests. They also teach them independence, from putting clothes on, to table etiquette, to expressing themselves assertively.
09 July 2024
Excellent members of staff who take a personal investment in teaching and nurture the children. A nicely structured environment that is also open and encouraging, that allows each child to develop naturally in their own way but not left out or behind.

Edwinstowe nursery is a lovely place for children to grow. Our two daughters attended for over 3 years each, and we have seen the incredible dedication of staff. The development of our children in their confidence, their physical skills and their emotions has been strongly supported by the staff. Edwinstowe has become a family from home and we are very sad to be leaving as our youngest moves to school. We could not recommend this nursery enough.

Edwinstowe has been a home away from home for us for 5 years. My two sons have attended from 6 months right through to preschool age. They have been so well loved and cared for by all the staff. Many of the staff have been there for 10+ years. My kids love it there and the staff go out of their way to notice and develop their particular interests. As a breastfeeding mum, I appreciated that they always went out of their way to minimise the waste of pumped milk. They have been a source of advice and support on feeding, sleeping, toilet training and development. We have had a wonderful experience at Edwinstowe.

Our son has been at University Nursery at Edwinstowe Close since he was 6 months (now 2.5 years) and he loved the nursery experience, food and especially the staff. He has had amazing care. Strong bonds with the staff and steady encouragement in terms of learning and development. He has also made great friends and has fun. We recommend Edwinstowe Close to all those eligible.

Wonderful nursery, full of warmth and positive energy. Menu is excellent, and my daughter loves attending each day. All staff members seem to truly care for the pupils.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and satisfaction to Edwinstowe Nursery. My child had a great time here and I am very pleased with your education and care. The teacher is very concerned about my child. My child feels real care, warmth and happiness here. She also learned a lot of songs, can do handicrafts and draw pictures. The nursery does a good job in communication and keeps me informed of my kid's situation at the nursery. I am also very impressed with the teaching environment and facilities here. The classroom is bright and clean, with many colourful teaching tools and toys, providing a fun and stimulating learning space for the children. Unfortunately, we have to leave here due to relocation. My kid will miss it.
22 January 2024
We have found the staff at Edwinstowe to be friendly, helpful, and caring. They have worked with us on toilet training and managing emotions with helpful ideas we can use at home as well. They do a lot of engaging and varied activities with the kids and also do a lot of outdoor play. We've been very happy with the care they've taken of our little one!
09 January 2024
My daughter loves going to Edwinstowe and I feel confident she is in a warm, caring atmosphere. Of particular note are the staff, who are very loving and engaging with the children. This is especially true for her key worker who my daughter regularly requests hugs and tickles from! I really appreciate how open the nursery is, parents have a lot of transparency and can go into the room at any time. This gives you confidence about what is going on, rather than just having a child deposited at the front door. Regarding areas for improvement, while they have been very accommodating for food I would have liked to see healthier breakfast (e.g porridge not cereals and a few less cakes/sugary things). That should not detract from this being overall an excellent nursery. I feel I'm dropping my daughter off somewhere she is loved.

To start with, the nursery is located in a very safe, and quiet area providing a reassuring environment for the families. The indoor and outdoor spaces are great and full of learning opportunities and space to play and run/cycle for the children. My child is as happy as one can be and absolutely loves everything about the nursery. The staff are extremely professional and actively listen to the children's needs and wishes, offering a stimulating and positive setting for the children to develop their first friendships and relationships with adults and independence. I appreciate their daily feedback and development updates on the app. The food, the books and toys, and the general atmosphere is just great and nurturing. My eldest child wants to drop off and collect his little brother because he loves the resources and the happiness filling the nursery. As a parent what strikes me the most is that absolutely everyone in the nursery: staff, children, parents, chefs are always smiling!

Edwinstowe is an outstanding nursery. Our daughter joined at 9 months and has just moved on aged three. The care that she has received throughout from the team has been brilliant. Children have lots of fun and the facilities are lovely. Families can also put their trust in the nursery in more difficult times. Our daughter had some health issues at points, and the staff at Edwinstowe went above and beyond, both to help her and to support us as a family. She is now a very happy little girl, and that is due in no small part to the staff. Their kindness made such a difference, and we will always be grateful to them.

The experiences with Edwinstowe have made our future childcare and educational arrangement very difficult. We simply couldn’t find any other provider that can make our little ones as happy as they have been. At the same time, we are also so very grateful to the nursery team for preparing our children for their next chapter of life, despite being sad to leave the nursery, we are proud to see our children have thrived and obtained the needed skills for reception in primary.

We've been very impressed by the care shown to both our children by University Nursery at Edwinstowe Close. They have been very helpful and supportive with any issues related to social, emotional and academic development. The space is great - plenty of outdoor space and play. The food seems varied and nutritious and the children always seem to eat more and a wider variety of things than they do at home!
