Such a wonderful nursery, great setting and space (indoor and out), but most importantly the staff are all wonderful. They make it feel like home from home, so welcoming. Always lots of different activities, fantastic food. My daughter is very happy at this nursery, we feel very lucky. No hesitation in recommending.

How marvellous and lucky we are to have such a wonderful nursery on our doorstep. All of the staff are so attentive and considerate to my daughter and I couldn't have asked for a better setting for her to thrive and gain confidence in. Ancaster Village Nursery & Forest School is exactly the place I was hoping it would be. They bring comfort, support, friendliness, play and delicious homely-cooked meals each day, they absolutely deserve recognition for everything they do. I highly recommend this nursery.

Lovely setting, lovely staff. My eldest attended preschool and my youngest from the baby room. Never had any issues and any slight problems/adjustments were seen to and sorted straight away either by nursery manager or key person. Lovely nursery - staff should be proud.

Our son attends Ancaster Nursery and has the best time. From the moment we drop him to when we collect him he has a smile on his face. There is a range of activities for him to do, plenty of learning experiences, excellent food choices and the staff are lovely. There's not a moment we haven't trusted them with his care. All in all, would recommend this establishment for childcare.

Excellent nursery! Our son has been thriving from day one and loves attending. We love seeing how happy he is each time we collect him and learning about all the fun he's been having each day. The staff are next level, friendly, super caring and attentive. We highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

I have two young children who attend this wonderful nursery. My eldest has been there nearly 2 years now and has additional needs which were found by him attending nursery and the help they have given him into getting a diagnosis and extra support to make him comfortable at nursery has been exceptional. They always go above and beyond for their children and I am so grateful for all of the staff at this nursery. They update well via the app to show what your child gets up to in their day and what type of activities are done during the week. Not to forget the wonderful chef who cooks the most beautiful healthy foods for the little ones! It always smells wonderful. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Very good nursery. My child settled in very quickly, the staff are very welcoming. They do lots of fun activities daily and I love how much time they spend outside exploring. There are lots of toys for the children to use.

We adore Ancaster Village Nursery and have sent both of our children here. Our daughter still attends and she loves going. She is always so happy when we collect her. She does lovely arts and crafts and always has amazing and different meals. The help we received from them for her potty training was amazing. Our son also attended and the building blocks they help put in place am sure have helped him do as well as he is at school. He is so excited to attend again for holiday club.

Our son has a few extra bits and pieces going on so needs a little extra monitoring and help etc but they have gone above and beyond for him and nothing has been too much trouble for them! He's come on leaps and bounds since being part of the Ancaster Nursery family. Our little girl also loves it here and again, they have done so much for her to help her feel settled and comfortable within the nursery to the point it's slowly become her favourite place to go! I can't thank the team there enough for being such wonderful, kind and caring people!

I can't begin to express how happy both my children were at Ancaster Village Nursery. All the staff are happy and attentive to both children and parents. Communication is fantastic and staff able to implement fantastic support to SEN children and parents. The children were always happy with the meals and snacks available. We also used the afterschool care provision at the local primary school run by the nursery which was equally as amazing, both my children loved going as the continuity of staff was a bonus. The only sad thing was we left due to a location move, but I would place them back in your care in a heartbeat!

Amazing setting for children. Staff truly care about the children along with supporting parents. They go above and beyond! Having used the nursery for over 5 years, I have seen my children thrive and come to make lovely relationships with staff and their little friends. The chef is brilliant at catering for all needs and providing a variety of foods with a menu provided weekly for you to see what is on offer. Highly recommend.

The staff are amazing and so friendly. I love that they have such a good outdoor space as well. I know that my child is in safe hands and if anything happens that might be a concern they tell you at the end of the day. Just as an example, if my child had a fall outside or a bump, even if it doesn't seem like anything at all, we're made aware. The management are friendly and open to questions. I'm not worried about contacting them for any queries I have. They have so many fun activities for the kids and provide weekly updates.

We love this nursery! My son has attended for the last 2 years and he loves it here. They are all amazing with the kids and I love that the children are outside whenever possible and have an opportunity to do forest school. We will be sad when it's time for my son to go to school as I'll miss this nursery.. and the manager's book library!

I cannot recommend Ancaster Village Nursery enough. My children are thriving and are growing into confident and caring children. Each member of staff knows both my children extremely well, knows all their likes/dislikes, and how to comfort them if needed. The staff are caring and approachable. As parents, we feel welcomed into the building and the staff show an interest in our lives. I truly believe that without the staff at Ancaster, our children would not be the confident, funny children they are today. The forest school provision they have is excellent - our eldest comes home and tells us all about what they've been up to, including making fires and using a saw. Each day, the staff adapt their play to focus on their interests and make the day enjoyable. Both my children have allergies and the staff are excellent at ensuring that food is adapted to their needs. We love seeing what they've got up to on the app too.

Fabulous setting which is helping both our children flourish! The staff are excellent and knowledgable, as well as very friendly to us parents and always willing to go the extra mile to support. The kids spend as much time outside as they can, which is fantastic and benefits them mentally and physically. They both love it here.

We moved our little boy to this nursery from another one that wasn't up to standard and Ancaster has surpassed our expectations. You will find a warm, welcoming home-from-home environment with amazing staff who genuinely care and love your child. What I loved about this nursery after viewing a lot, is the feeling you get when you walk in, home-cooked food cooking in the kitchen, a management team with their door open welcoming you in and every room leading straight into an outdoor space with fields surrounding. Horses and rabbits come up to the garden to say hello and all of the children seem happy and content. My little boy attends 5 days a week and has thrived since being here, his speech has progressed, he has made friends and has a real bond with the staff which gives me immense peace of mind. Do not hesitate to secure a spot at this wonderful setting.
