My son attend this nursery from 8 months old until he went to school this September. The nursery was the obvious choice for my daughter as we had a brilliant experience with my son. My daughter, however, struggles with separation anxiety. I can not praise the nursery and staff enough for their continued support and understanding. They have been amazing from the beginning, extra settling in sessions and working with me 1:1 to ensure my daughter has the best experience possible with the least amount of anxiety. They have personalised a plan for her and we have regular meetings to highlight things that are working and to come up with new ideas. I would 100% recommend this nursery to everyone.

My daughter moved to this nursery from another at the start of this year. She is three years old. In this time she has really improved in her speech. She now has more confidence in having a conversation and using bigger words. Her confidence has also improved, she was never shy but now she will get involved in every activity with all the chlidren. Finally, my daughter is a picky eater but since joining this nursery she has started to try new foods. This may be down to the fact they allow them to access food and drink alone and teach them independence.

My children have been at the nursery for the last 3 years. The nursery and staff are outstanding! I put my complete trust in them and wouldn't want a different nursery. Both my children have thrived here and absolutely love going. In my opinion, it is the best nursery by far! the relationship my children and myself have with all the staff is just amazing.

I absolutely love my son going to The Old School Day Nursery. I always feel assured that he is looked after and in safe hands. All of the staff go above and beyond and I genuinely feel that they all love their jobs. Every day a new activity is planned making my son's time at the nursery exciting. He has developed so much since starting and he's formed close bonds with key workers which says it all. The nursery is clean and inviting and has a friendly home-from-home feel. Thank you for all you do and for making me not as worried when leaving my son in such capable hands.

My daughter has been coming here since she was 7 months old - she is 2 now and is really thriving. I did start off putting her in this one for the convenience of location - as it is only a 2-minute drive from where I work - but I am so happy with my choice. The staff are all excellent, she is always greeted with a smile and never looks back to say bye now, just runs straight in. She is always talking about certain staff members when we ask her who she is going to see and play with at nursery today. Overall, brilliant staff and I cannot wait for her next journey to the preschool room later this year.

Very happy with the nursery as a whole, as is my child. Never had any issues and the staff are always lovely. Would absolutely recommend it.

My little girl started at The Old School Day Nursery & Pre-school when she was 9 months old and she has flourished and this is thanks to the great staff and the activities that they provide. She is 3 now and she loves going to nursery. She enjoys Forest School and the fantastic range of activities that the staff prepare for the children. The parent zone app enables me to see lovely photos of what she has been doing each day and my daughter loves to look back at these each evening. The staff are amazing and go over and beyond each day. There are lots of stay and play sessions available to us as parents which I have participated in and it’s great to see my daughter interacting with the other children. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Lovely nursery, location and staff. My son loves it here, he is always smiling and enjoying himself in all the activities that the nursery is doing. The nursery has gone above and beyond to support with his speech and language development.

Our daughter only started a few weeks ago but she's already growing in confidence and exploring new things. The staff are all super friendly and interactive. We're looking forward to seeing our girl grow and develop.

The Old School Day Nursery have been brilliant with my son. They know him really well and the staff always take their time to tell me about this day. I love being able to see what he is doing through pictures and communication on the app and it really puts you at ease as a parent. I can't fault the nursery, the staff, the facilities or the care they provide.

I couldn’t be happier with the standard of care my child receives here! Both my children have attended the Old School, one being 7 now and one being in toddler room. The staff at the Old School are very welcoming, friendly and always help as much as they can. Every member of staff knows and greets my child, even though they are in separate rooms. My daughter runs into nursery to see the staff members and children. I always feel safe leaving my child at nursery and she enjoys every day. The daily updates and parents' app is amazing, it’s lovely to see all her feedback and photos daily. The nursery has a lovely atmosphere, is warm and is such a calming, neutral setting. My child’s key worker is amazing, she knows all her strengths and weaknesses and plans activities to enhance her development in all areas. The manger is very friendly, helpful, and relatable as a parent. My daughter calls the staff members by their names and looks forward to coming into nursery, I would highly recommend it.

Both of my children have really enjoyed spending time at nursery from when they were very little and through to pre-school age. The nursery is small and has a homely feel, with good outside facilities.

Our daughter has only been attending The Old School Nursery for a short time but we have noticed an amazing transformation in her socialisation skills. She is so much more confident and will approach other children with enthusiasm it is very refreshing to see. Our daughter was a previously looked after child and we had worked very hard on positive attachment, to say I was anxious about her attending nursery would be an understatement. However, the nursery were very understanding and offered lots of support to her and myself with extended settle sessions and in-depth updates on how she is adjusting to nursery life. I am very grateful to two staff members. Keep up the great work!

Lovely little nursery, very friendly and welcoming. They are great at working with you to help settle your child if needed, potty training and getting them ready to go to school. The meals the children receive are excellent. It was sad to see my child leave, but she ran into school on her 1st day. They helped with getting her to this point. Thank you. If you're looking for a little nursery that will encourage your child to develop and be ready for school, what are you waiting for? Go for it they are fab.

Amazing nursery and amazing staff! So understanding and lovely throughout the settling in period, offering additional sessions too and letting my little boy take it at his own pace. We were really worried about how he and the staff would cope with his speech difficulties, but we’ve had no issues at all. He’s never been to a nursery before and just over a month in he’s constantly asking to go and doesn’t want to leave when he’s there. Couldn’t have asked for better!
15 September 2020
Fantastic nursery! They have been brilliant with my little boy from the day he started. Due to its small nature, you get a real sense of personalisation for your child. Their communication is faultless and are always on the phone if there is a problem with your child, and the staff are always upbeat and bubbly. I definitely made the right choice for my little one in choosing this nursery.

My son loves coming to nursery, he knows when we pull up outside and gets all excited. Staff are lovely and very welcoming, always addresses my little boy as soon as we walk in the door. Detailed daily feedback and the children are always engaging in fun activities. It’s so lovely to log in online and see daily pictures of what they’ve been getting up too. My little boy has been going since he was 5 months old and as a new mum working full time it puts my mind at ease knowing he’s in such good care and loves his days exploring at The Old School Day Nursery. Staff always keep parents updated and very accommodating. The only point I would make is how the days they attend are non-negotiable to swap on odd occasions they have to be set days, you can’t change days as a one off but this isn’t a complaint. I’m happy with my little boy's progress and I feel he will continue to learn, grow and enjoy his time at The Old School Day Nursery.
