Our son attends the Toddler room and has been at the nursery since 6months old. He will shortly be moving to Pre School. The nursery is outstanding. They go the extra mile to ensure you are well informed about your child and their development. The opportunities for parents to be involved are well organised and the communication from Management about the nursery as a whole is very informative.

I have nothing but positive words for this fantastic nursery. My daughter is in the baby room and has been from 6 months old. She is always happy and smiling when I drop her off and collect her. The staff are incredibly friendly, kind and caring. Communication is very good with updates online, and emails are answered quickly. I honestly have nothing negative to say and nothing but praise for the setting, staff and my overall experience here.

We are beyond thrilled with our experience at St Gabriel's Nursery! Watching our son develop in such a nurturing environment has been a true delight. The staff here are so wonderful and incredibly caring. They consistently provide us with all the information we need and work hand-in-hand with us to ensure our son's well-being and progress. Their support has been especially invaluable when it comes to potty training! Our son always goes into nursery with a big smile on his face and we love receiving updates about his day. It makes us feel connected and reassured, knowing he's in such good hands. The parents' stay and play sessions are another fantastic aspect of St Gabriel's Nursery. These sessions allow us to feel actively involved in our son's nursery experience and we appreciate the effort that goes into organising them. Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff at St Gabriel's Nursery. Your dedication and care make a world of difference to our family!

St. Gabriels continue to provide our children with the necessary support, guidance and encouragement needed to help achieve their full potential. The staff are always understanding, supportive and empathetic whenever discussions are required. The grounds and facilities help allow our children to develop in all aspects of their day.

Our son has been attending nursery at St Gabriel's for 3 months now and he has settled in fantastically well, he loves it! His care worker and staff are great with him and nurturing his development. Couldn't ask for more.

We love St Gabriel's Nursery, our son has settled in so well and very quickly - thanks to all the wonderful staff there! There is so much for babies/toddlers to do, the staff come up with fabulous activities, take the children around the school grounds and always put on events/social mornings for parents and grandparents (which is a lovely touch!). We've actively seen developmental progress at nursery and at home with our son, he's really thriving. It's great that everything is also tracked through the app and regular development calls with staff. Will always recommend St Gabriel's Nursery, we're really happy!

The nursery at St Gabriel’s is a fantastic setting. Warm, friendly staff, who are great with the children and very experienced. They do lots of learning through play and fun activities which vary all the time. The children are very happy and content and my third child is currently in pre-school and loves it. I have always recommended this nursery and will continue to do so.

We have been really pleased with our daughter’s first year in the baby room and how the staff helped to settle her in. She has now recently moved up to the toddler room and is having such a great time and we enjoy hearing about what she got up to during the day from her and on the app. We have always found the staff to be so friendly and caring and therefore we do not hesitate in recommending St Gabriel’s Nursery.

Our son started Nursery at St Gabriel's last September (in toddler's room. Now in pre-school) and we had little bit difficult transition journey. However, the support that we got from the nursery was amazing. With their warm and friendly approach to kids, my son started to go to nursery willingly. They also provide lots of different good quality activities to children which helps them to improve their development while the children enjoy their time in the nursery. I am also so happy with his key person. She sees every detail, follows-up all the points that require little support and shares feedback constantly. Moreover, helps my son to develop his skills in a very nice way. In a nutshell, could not be happier with St Gabriel's Nursery.

St Gabriel's is full of excellent practitioners who have really excelled at ensuring our daughter has the best time learning through play. Whenever we mention something we think we'd like a focus on, whether that's counting or potty training, they come on board 100%. Issues and injuries are always dealt with as I would expect. I high recommend this nursery where the outside space and desire to get outdoors is incredibly commendable.

We have been so impressed with this nursery over the years. Our eldest son went to this nursery and he had a fantastic experience. So naturally we registered for our youngest to start here. There was a waiting listing to start but it was so worth waiting for. The staff, environment and learning provided are exceptional in our opinion. Both our children took time to settle but the nursery staff went above and beyond to settle them in. They’ve been fantastic and we are so pleased with our choice. Thank you so much for continuing to be a brilliant nursery.

My daughter attends Nursery at St. Gabriel’s and loves everything about it. Staff are incredibly friendly, kind and caring. I feel that they are giving my daughter the best start to school life and education. They were incredibly supportive with her transition from the baby room into the toddler room, and I know the same support and kindness will be given when it’s time to move to the preschool room. Thank you all, for everything you do.

As a retired headmistress of a nursery, pre~prep and prep school I have nothing but praise for Nursery at St Gabriel’s. I was an inspector of Early Years in the independent sector and, in this capacity, am aware of the statutory requirements for this age group. From day one my grandson has been very happy to go to nursery, being welcomed by approachable, understanding staff. The facilities provided are excellent, activities are well planned and all equipment seems to be well maintained. Communication from the key worker and the school is very good, with regular updates and photographs of my grandson’s progress. He is now two years old having stared at St Gabriel’s when he was 11 months, throughout this the staff have been supportive and understanding when we became aware that he was diagnosed as being lactose intolerant, ensuring that his meals and ‘cooking sessions’ were adapted to his needs. I have no reservations in recommending the nursery for this prestigious award.

We have been delighted with our child’s care at St Gabriel’s Nursery. The staff are hugely supportive and work closely with us in our child’s learning and development. The care is excellent and I have been so grateful for the team keeping in touch with me as needed. Our child has allergies and the nursery has managed this brilliantly with care and helpful observations. The nursery uses an app which is very useful to monitor sleep and food intake, as well as lovely photos and updates during the day. The most important thing to us is that the team know our child well and are able to treat him like an individual.

My son is attending St Gab's. The staff are very friendly and they make sure to use all the facilities and stuff that the school they are in has to offer. I am very happy to see my son’s development with them.

Care that goes above and beyond and a real sense that staff care about your child and really want to do the best by them. A joint team between staff and parents.

Both my children attend/attended the nursery (one gone to school). St Gabriel's offer great value for money for the care provided and what activities they do with the children. My eldest learnt French and was also taught P.E on a weekly basis. The staff are wonderful and both children love/loved it.
22 November 2023
What we love most about St Gabriel's is the outdoor space and adventures the children have throughout the year. The grounds at the school mean that there is so much nature for the children to explore. The staff are very kind and friendly. They love spending time with the children. They always make activities/messy play relevant to what's going on in the world or whatever 'world xxx day' it is. We also love the opportunities for parents to get involved, e.g. watching our baby at sports day.

It has been a great experience from the beginning. Very caring and professional staff in St. Gabriel's. They have been very supportive during many stages of our little one since he was two. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
