We’re so happy to have found this preschool. My daughter has settled in so well, the staff are amazing and my daughter is so so happy, they do amazing classes and the children perform shows, it truly is an amazing place and so happy to have found this amazing place for our daughter, she has made friends and has learned so much already every day coming home with amazing stories. Well done The Nest and thank you.

I just love The Nest. I don't have a bad word to say about it. I think anyone choosing a nursery would be hard placed to find somewhere where the ethos is so wholly focused on not just the wellbeing of the child but the nurturing and fulfillment of them as a person going forward. They do pottery every week. With a potter. Who glazes all their pieces. You don't get that at nurseries 3x the cost. They learn yoga, Italian, drama, computing, gardening: nothing is too big a topic or too much to take on. Children are completely hands-on with every project. If they're too young then you still then get something one of the amazing teachers has helped put together so that you as a parent have a memory. The teachers are so warm, engaged, understanding and committed. They heat their lunch for them for goodness sake! They're just lovely, brilliant, ramshackle and chaotically excellent and I feel very lucky we found them and will be sending our third child there in the autumn. Thank you The Nest!

A thoroughly nurturing environment and one where all the staff feel fully invested in giving the children the best possible experience. Staff are professional and it really feels like they have your child’s best interests at heart.

Lovely and inclusive place, my kid loves the time spent there and his teachers. Very nice childminders and great educators. The kids there have become great friends to my son and he misses his school dearly when he’s on a break. Would recommend 100%.

We were drawn to the nursery by its arts focus. The staff are warm and welcoming and our daughter is enjoying her time there. She is gaining a lot from the planned activities. We would recommend this nursery to anyone.

It’s like a family! My son was happy and never cried! They organised trips and two performances per year. Excellent!

Both of my daughters have been to The Nest and I am very sad to think it will be the end of our day to day involvement when our youngest goes to school this September. The girls have made lifelong friends I know, and so have we. We had the option of putting my youngest in the school nursery which would have saved us an extra trip in the morning but The Nest is worth the extra drop off. It's a small, friendly and very warm nursery where the children learn real independence, are encouraged to be curious and to develop a wide range of skills. They maximise the use of the space with everything from vegetable gardens to playhouses and have frequent trips to the park (next door). I have been very impressed by how it has developed over the last few years and the dedication of the longstanding staff to continuous improvement. The Nest is at the heart of the community and we are incredibly lucky to have such a special place.

Both my daughters attend (have attended) The Nest Pre-School. As a parent, I could not be happier with the nursery. My girls have gone in smiling and left happy but tired after a few fun days of varied activities. Now at school, my eldest daughter constantly tells her little sister how lucky she is to be going to The Nest Pre-School. Both girls have made very strong friendships from their time here as have I. The Nest Pre-School is a very special nursery and any child that goes there should feel incredibly lucky.

A cosy and safe environment for children to learn through play. Imaginative and creative staff use their skills and develop good relationships with each child.

Great creative and caring preschool. All the staff are lovely and experienced. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, it was a pleasure to drop off and pick up our child, knowing that he was in safe hands, happy, confident and learning well. Thank you for these 2 years. We will remember them fondly.
