Every time I ring to see how my little boy is, they're always helpful and some occasions, put my little boy close to the phone so he can hear my voice, so it’s a comfort for me to hear his little voice. Staff are very helpful.

My daughter is very happy at Thornton Lodge and I know she is in excellent care when she’s there. The Nursery Manager and all the staff are caring, approachable and clearly have the children’s best interests at heart. Would 100% recommend it.

All four of my grandchildren have been to this nursery, two are still there. The manager is absolutely amazing with the children. Staff are really good two. I would recommend 1st Safari to anyone wanting a good nursery. It's given my grandchildren a great start for school.

My middle child has attended Thornton Lodge since September 2022 and is now in the preschool room. As we moved from another nursery and she'd always been with her older sister, we had a rocky start with tears on a morning. The staff were brilliant with her, welcoming, friendly, and caring and with their support, she soon began to love it. The staff keep you informed of what meals, play etc your child has had, and we've been invited to a number of parent's evenings to discuss her development. They always have great events/celebration days planned and invite parents along to sessions where they can join in too. The nursery manager is open to feedback and is always striving to improve. He has a brilliant relationship with both us as parents and our daughters. Our youngest has just started also, and the baby room staff have been great and worked hard to understand her routine and requirements. A great nursery!

What a fantastic Nursery. All 3 of my children have gone there and thrived. I still have 2 children there and they love it there and they have come a long way There are great staff there, my son has autism and he’s non-verbal and when he was the most shy person ever. Now he has come out of his shell he loves the nursery, that is because of the brilliant staff they have there my son has come a long way and is now not the shy boy who wouldn’t make eye contact with you didn’t want to play, didn’t want to eat, not speaking to now such a happy little boy who loves cuddles and playing will eat and now say small words like daddy mummy. I see improvements with my children every day when I come home from nursery and as a parent that makes me so happy. They have a fantastic manager who will help you with information and guide you as a parent too. I would definitely recommend it for any children, even children such as my son with autism and non-verbal.

As a parent with a child with autism, finding a nursery that not only meets but exceeds expectations is rare. Our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The staff show dedication and understanding, especially towards our oldest with autism (yet to be formally diagnosed). The nurturing environment provided by the staff has truly become a second home for our children. The staff's ability to accommodate unique needs while fostering growth and development is amazing. Beyond the norm, the staff consistently go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels included and supported (i.e. personalised learning), their commitment to each child's well-being is evident in every interaction. Moreover, the inclusive atmosphere has allowed our children to thrive socially and emotionally (great seeing our little ones make friends - even with the staff!) The level of care, dedication and support provided by the staff truly sets this nursery apart. Thank you to the manager and team!

My boy loves this nursery. The staff are wonderful and have been so flexible. His speech, behaviour and learning have all improved dramatically in the short time he has attended. I highly recommend.

Thornton Lodge Day Nursery has been amazing with my little one, she has developed so well in the time she has spent there. She enjoys all the activities and age-specific learning. The staff are just fantastic and look after her so well, we can not be happier as parents. My eldest daughter attended here also and I couldn't recommend it enough to anyone.

My little boy absolutely loves Thornton Lodge Day Nursery! The nursery is fantastic and he always has a super, fun-filled day. He is achieving and learning so much and that is down to the amazing staff and the hard work and dedication they show each and every child. I would definitely recommend Thornton Lodge.

My son has/is enjoying his time at nursery. He always comes home telling me about his day and how much fun he's had! The staff are absolutely lovely and so accommodating to all of my and my child's needs! If any time is a good time to say thank you, it's now!

I'm really satisfied with the nursery and the staff who work here. My little one can be sometimes really naughty and needy but the staff cope with that just perfect.

Both my children have attended this nursery it is an amazing place with friendly staff who put children at the heart of everything that they do. My children have been kept safe, thrived and well prepared for school life. the learning environments are high quality and outdoor learning is a priority which my boys loved. Communication is good and the setting is managed well by the Nursery Manager. There isn't anything that he wouldn't do for you. I highly recommend Thornton Lodge to prospective parents.

I have two boys who have both attended Thornton Lodge since they were nine months old. My children have loved coming here and are sad that they can no longer attend as they both go to school now. The staff are very caring and committed to ensuring that my children are safe, well and know how to support their development. Communication is good and staff always give regular feedback on daily activities, including food, which my two boys love! I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

A home, not a nursery, warm and consistent. They have helped my son to grow and develop during his time here, and I have used different nurseries before this one, and I would never send my children anywhere else!
