What a lovely nursery! My niece loves going and her development and confidence has come on leaps and bounds with the encouragement of staff members. Communication from the nursery has been fantastic, regular updates are sent to parents. Food is great, she's eaten things that I myself have never tried!

A great nursery, helping with the children's development, social skills increasing since being here, confident interactions with others whether that's sharing toys, being kind to other children, speaking/playing with family and friends.

My Daughter started in September 2024 and was welcomed with such love and care. Her keyworker is amazing with her and mentioned that speech therapy was need for my daughter (something a different nursery failed to help with) which was addressed and dealt with immediately. Communication throughout the day of what the children have been up to, with pictures is so lovely. Every afternoon on pick up we get a run down of her day has been (good or bad). One lady has been working with her to help with pronouncing words and stringing sentences and the difference is amazing! Other ladies are always there with literal open arms which just makes the start of the day so fun! They have a fab manager and you can see how much fun the children have throughout the day! I can't thank all the staff enough for everything they have done for my daughter. Would recommend to all parents who are thinking of putting their child into nursery!

Our son started in the baby snug a year ago, he settled so quickly at the nursery. We get good updates on the app throughout the day and a more detailed update at the end of the day. As parents, we find these updates excellent. Our son's key worker has been amazing helping with his development from weaning to his speech, we have regular catch-ups on how he is doing and what they can do to support him. All of the baby snug staff know what our son's interests are and ensure that the activities set out for the day include his interests. They also know his favourite song to play! If his key worker has left for the day, we still get a very detailed rundown of his day from other staff which just shows that the communication between the baby snug team is great and that all staff have a good bond with our son. He is so happy at the end of the day he doesn't want to leave.

My youngest joined here in September 2024 after her old nursery fell apart. No matter her confidence issues the whole team has always given their all to push her to her full potential and show a safe happy place. She has made so many lovely friends! It's like one big family unit. The team are professional yet caring and friendly and goes above and beyond! Thank you ladies you're all great!

Our son started nursery in April 2024 in the Toddler Den. We cannot thank the team enough for their support, encouragement and overall engagement in making all of us feel comfortable and confident from day one. He has been thriving ever since, really looking forward to going to nursery every day - and even being reluctant to be picked up at the end of the day as he does not want the fun to stop! Everyone on the team is so friendly, they know all of the children very well and make sure they grow into themselves and develop their unique skills and personalities. The nursery has a very familiar, welcoming feeling and there's always a great vibe of conviviality and fun whenever we go in for drop off/ pick up. Staff and management have gone above and beyond to cater for our child who suffers from an allergy, and we really feel he is in safe hands. We are so happy, and would 100% recommend.

My son started nursery in January in the baby snug. From the start he received a warm welcome from the wonderful and dedicated baby snug team. They always provide lots of fun activities and opportunities for play indoor and outdoors. At the end of the day they also give lots of information and updates about what my son has been doing, what he’s enjoyed and any milestones he has reached. We feel really happy and content with his attendance and would recommend the nursery to all.

We would really recommend this nursery. The staff are super friendly and thoughtful planning out activities and keeping us updated. Our two children really enjoy their time in the baby room and preschool and have built special bonds with the team. The new garden is fantastic and it is evident that the children think so too, outdoor play is really encouraged and the children are able to mix and play together. The baby room has been extra supportive with our youngest and we receive some great updates and photos throughout the day, where we can see what activities they are up to with their friends. They eat better than us with their onsite chef and often end up eating seconds or even thirds! We are very happy with our experience which is largely due to the amazing caring staff and management team - they are a real asset to the nursery.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 12 months old and is now four. My son, who is 12 months old, has just started here too. What can I say? I love the staff here so much! The manager and the staff have really turned this place around. My son has settled in here so well, and my daughter talks about the staff as being her best friends. She will really miss them when she starts school this year. I’m so pleased I chose this nursery for my children.

We cannot recommend Ashington Day Nursery enough, our daughter loves her time there. The staff are all wonderful, showing such care and love for the children. The new modernizations coming and the update to the garden have made a huge difference to the look and emphasized the family feel. The food is brilliant our daughter regularly talks about how she loves the food and wishes that the cook can cook for her at home. The highlight recently was the wonderful Easter Egg hunt in the beautifully updated garden. Thank you so much to all the staff who go above and beyond to make sure our daughter gets the best experience.

My children have been attending this nursery for years and they have always enjoyed their time there. The staff are brilliant with them. The improvements that are ongoing will be a great addition to the setting.
15 April 2024
Ashington is a happy, kind nursery with dedicated loyal staff who have improved this nursery in a short space of time into a place where my son thrives, and where he’s built special relationships with other children and staff. The communication with parents is open, good and consistent. This includes a board of staff, activities and meals for the day ahead. The nursery goes that bit further with ideas including cookery time, acting out story books, themed activities and creating crafts for special dates of the year to send home. The new garden is a lovely space for exploring, and children are encouraged to spend time outside every day. The nursery has an excellent chef with fresh food every day. Ashington has an excellent manager who clearly leads by example, with kindness and passion for making this nursery the wonderful place it is for all children.

My daughter has been attending since October 2023. We did lots of settling sessions as she was very clingy with me and she quickly formed bonds with the lovely ladies in the baby room. She is thriving at the nursery and she is very happy to be going to see the lovely ladies and the other children in the baby room each week. She eats a wide variety of food all cooked on site by the amazing chef. There is a lot of outdoor play in the garden and always doing activities inside. All the lovely staff treat both my children with so much love. She is getting amazing care - certainly the best decision to send both my children to Ashington Nursery.

My son started in Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school in September 2023. He settled in very quickly and that is due to the care, love and empathy shown by everyone that works there. The staff have always been amazing with him and I’ve always been given daily updates and pictures of his time in the nursery. He enjoys his time there and has learnt so much in the past few months. I can’t recommend the nursery enough!

My daughter started in September in the baby room and I really cannot recommend Ashington Day Nursery enough, the staff are wonderful and so kind, and my daughter absolutely loves it. I really feel that she has settled in so well thanks to the lovely staff, they do many activities with her which I love to see and hear about. Thank you so much.

The nursery setting and staff provide a wonderful experience for play, learning and development. Our daughter has been so happy here. The staff are caring and fun, providing an amazing energy for the children to thrive. We recommend the nursery highly. Thank you.

My daughter started in the baby den almost a year ago. I was so impressed with the staff; their patience and reassurance that my little one would be well cared for. I was given a number of settling-in sessions which supported my little one move from my primary care, into nursery some of the week. The nursery use an app that let's parents know about nappies, food, sleep and general daily activities. It is so lovely to get updates during the day, especially some photos. Communication is very good and I always feel welcome to ask any questions or just share general anxieties. My little one formed a lovely bond with her keyworker, as well as several others in the den. The children all have lovely home-cooked food prepared by the chef. It has been a wonderful experience seeing my baby flourish in the nursery and develop her social skills.
21 September 2023
My daughter arrived at Ashington Day Nursery at the start of the year, after her previous setting closed. She initially settled well, but then had a wobble. The staff were so reassuring to her and myself, which really helped her to regain confidence in her new nursery and she soon found her feet and absolutely loved her time there. She made lots of friends and loved all the staff. The food prepared by the chef always smelt amazing when I dropped off in the mornings, and my daughter started to try different food she wouldn't normally have given a second look! She is excited to start school, but speaks often of her time at Nursery and will miss coming in!
20 September 2023
My daughter has been attending the nursery since January 2023, we had to move her due to the sudden closure of her previous nursery. I was so worried about her changing to a new setting and we really didn’t need to be worried at all. The whole team were so understanding of the situation and made every effort to ensure that our daughter settled easily. Communication at the end of the day is great with a detailed rundown of the day. My daughter is so excited to tell us all about what she did each day. The learning aspects are brilliant, they have taught her so much that we are amazed when she shows us her new skills (such as writing her name and reciting the alphabet.) The chef is really good, we have been navigating the milk ladder (dairy allergy) and the communication to check on each stage and checking ingredients has been so reassuring for us. We can’t fault the team at Ashington! Thank you.
19 September 2023
I put my daughter into this nursery when she was just 5 months old and ever since the nursery have been fantastic. They’ve supported me and provided advice (as this was my first child) from the moment I dropped my daughter off. I can see real progress in my daughter’s speech and social skills in the year and a half she has been with the nursery. They helped wean her when she reached the right age and now she’s nearing potty training age, they are involved in how we can keep the home routine alive at nursery. As a parent you can’t ask for much more than care from the staff and an interest in helping your child develop and I cannot speak highly enough of them all. A special shout-out to the staff who have been with my daughter since her first day and who when she comes home she can’t wait to go back and see the next day. Thank you, Ashington Nursery.
