Couldn't have asked for a better nursery for my 3 year old. He is in Lower Preschool now. So well settled. He is there from Baby room and the staff are so good with him. He doesn't want to leave when we go to pick him up.

We love the Nursery, our son has been here since September of 2022, and has grown and developed really well. We see his progress daily after being at nursery. The staff are very caring and responsive and give timely feedbacks and reports. When we were looking for a nursery for our son in 2022 we were had no idea where our child will be safe and cared for while we were away at work, but since Herons has made us confident that our son will be safe and cared for and not only this, but also will grow as an individual child. If we have any concerns Herons staff are always welcoming to receive advice and suggestions to improve or provide additional caring. We, as parents, also enjoy dropping our child off and picking him up again three times a week. Herons has family feel in it. Keep it up!

My daughter loves the nursery and all the staff. Her face lights up as soon as she sees we are getting near and when we get to hand over she is jumping out of my arms with excitement. The staff are diligent and caring. I couldn't have wished for a more warm and friendly environment for her to be looked after in. She has had issues with gaining weight and everyone has gone above and beyond with extra bottle feeds and encouraging her with food. I recommend Heron Day Nursery to everyone.

My daughter has been attending after-school club and holiday club and has asked to attend breakfast club. Staff team are always welcoming, friendly and fun activities in line with celebrations or Halloween, Easter or birthdays, sporting events. Whilst at times it can be busy the team know your child and can always feedback how they have been during their stay. I like that they show an interest in my child outside of their involvement, knowing the teachers and their activities. The school has been closed last minute on a few occasions and the club has provided holiday club at the last minute. Would recommend to anyone.

Our daughter has been coming to Heron Day for 7 years, in both the nursery and now in the breakfast club - she still loves it! The staff are amazing and show genuine affection for the children and there is always an interesting activity on offer. We have always had great communication and updates from them and they were even able to reach out and offer a last-minute holiday club when the primary school had to close unexpectedly for a day. Wonderful!

Amazing care for my children. Always patient and understanding. Always so much to do in the school holidays as well. Have helped out with me on short notice before. Would recommend to others in the area.

I cannot thank enough to two staff members in particular for always being so kind and understanding! They are always doing some nice activities for the children and my child is always happy to go there. There is never too much trouble for one staff member in particular, she is always so kind and helpful. Thank you for everything!

Two members of staff in particular have been brilliant with my son since he started reception, making the transition between nursery and school an enjoyable one. My son looks forward to breakfast club days which makes mornings a lot easier!!

My little girl has been coming for around 2 years now and adores the staff, as you can also tell the staff adore the kids! They are very caring and welcoming to everyone, they all go above and beyond, I'll be sad when the day eventually comes my little girl will no longer need to go because she enjoys it, which is an added relief when you have to work, thank you so much to all the team.

The out of school club staff are fantastic with the children at Heron Day. They are kind, fun and create a very positive and caring atmosphere in the rooms. They also implement positive values and endeavour to come up with varied activities for all. All the children always look happy and my children enjoy spending time at Heron.

Heron Nursery has been a fantastic experience for our son, this year. The staff have been exceptionally supportive, fostering a nurturing and welcoming environment. Communication has been seamless, with regular updates and open lines to discuss any questions or concerns. The staff are proactive in providing assistance and are well-connected with referral services when needed, which has been invaluable. Their collaboration with the council ensures a smooth process, especially in terms of transitioning to school. The nursery's Special Educational Needs team stands out as particularly attentive and knowledgeable, always providing tailored support that has made a real difference for him. The friendly, approachable management team is committed to high-quality care, and their dedication to each child's development shines through. We're very pleased with the level of care, communication, and preparation for school that Heron Nursery provides.

Cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff care so much about the children, and they create such lovely bonds. My son is so happy there. There is a lot of involvement with parents and they are constantly thinking of new things to do with the children every day. No concerns about safety at all, the children are all looked after so well and they always have enough time to give each child enough attention.

Both my daughter and son attend Heron Day Nursery, she grew up throughout the nursery and is now in school going to morning/afterschool club which is great, amazing staff and environment for the children. They have made every effort to understand her, helped her to learn and grow. She loves it there and attends holiday club too which she also loves, she is always so excited to go in the holidays! My son also attends, he absolutely loves nursery and really adores all of the staff he is with. He has learned so much from them and continues learning everyday. The staff are always available for a conversation if needed, and it is very much an open door attitude. They are very understanding and helpful in every possible scenario, they have always been great since they first started here (around 6 years ago now). I am so glad I chose this nursery and I truly appreciate everyone at the nursery and everything they do for us.

My little boy first started at another nursery until it closed, the staff made the transfer to this nursery very easy and pleasant for him, since being at the Heron Day Nursery all the staff have contributed to the development of my child and he loves coming here. When he moves on in September he will continue breakfast club here, so will still see the staff he has grown so fond of, overall Heron Day Nursery have been amazing and I couldn't have wished for a better place for my child to have been. Thank you to you all I'm more grateful than you'll ever know.
