As first-time parents, we were a bit nervous about enrolling our child at a nursery. We visited a few different nurseries in the area, but some of them were a bit run down and smelled a bit off. But when we got to Speckles Day Nursery, we were so glad we chose it! It felt like home, and it was really well-kept. And the best part? It smells amazing! The staff and manager are absolutely wonderful people who have always taken great care of our little one. She loves going to the nursery in the morning and is always smiling when we pick her up. She absolutely adores it! She's also shown some amazing signs of development like her vocabulary has grown a lot, she can now play nicely with other kids, and she's doing really well in all her classes. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent in the area. It's a great place for your child to grow and learn.

From my initial look around Speckles felt like a warm and welcoming environment and my view has not changed one year on. My daughter settled really well and developed a close bond her key worker and other staff members. The staff take on feedback and accommodate to the best of their ability. Overall, a hidden treasure.

Speckles is a lovely nursery. The staff are so friendly and caring. Both our children settled in well to the nursery and come home talking about how much fun they have had with their friends and teachers. We are always kept well informed of any issues or new developments with our children and I know that they are in safe, loving hands.

I still recall my first visit to speckles nursery before I was given an application form. It just felt like home. It was absolutely clean , quiet, well staffed and the environment was absolutely welcoming. This still remains the same. The staff are absolutely friendly, active and engaging. The feedback from the staff of my daughter is helpful and refreshing. My daughter has made lots of progress and she loves attending this nursery as she comes home joyful. Also, the manager is outstanding, a very good (she knows what she is doing and knows her staff ) she is well informed , approachable and well organised. Trust me when say , this is amazing an nursery as I have come cross other nursery with my previous child where the communication and management was terrible. But at speckles their communication skills is very good and as parent I think that is important aspect to consider. I am pleased I found this nursery and I have made a fantastic choice in taking my toddler here. Thanks you.

I had checked other nurseries around but Speckles made me feel welcome and my baby settled in immediately. In less than 4 months, my baby's growth and development have been remarkable! Also, I appreciate that they take on feedback and always improve their offerings.

By far the best nursery my son has attended! Unfortunately, I've had to move him a few times due to poor care at previous nurseries. However, Speckles definitely tops them all! The level of care, and attention to detail in the children's learning, and handovers is excellent. My child's speech and overall confidence has come along leaps and bounds. Speckles has extracted his creative abilities, and I also love how they support with toilet training and manage behaviour. Positive behaviour is promoted obviously, however, how it's implemented is evident throughout the day and in feedback in handovers. My son was having tantrums after a long day at nursery (as he adjusts to a full-time week) and I was struggling to manage this. The manager asked me how he was doing, and when I told her at drop off, I noticed that he had been much calmer since then. The manager let me know that she spoke with him! Amazing! The staff are so friendly and approachable. My son's key worker is top tier!

I'm so pleased we came across Speckles Day Nursery I had a choice of two Nurseries but the warm welcome we got on the show around Speckles Day Nursery really made it feel like home which is what I wanted for my daughter. The staff was well presented and it was very clean and organised. My daughter had absolutely no trouble settling in and is very happy to inform me of her daily activities. I love that Speckles is excellent with communication because I'm so relaxed when I'm updated throughout the day. I look forward to my daughter's development at Speckles Day Nursery and would like to say thank you to the staff and Management team.

It has been a truly rewarding experience for my daughter. She began at the age of one, and over time, has developed significant social skills and enhanced her confidence in communication. The teachers and staff have consistently demonstrated exceptional support, care, and dedication, exceeding all expectations. I am deeply appreciative of their commitment and could not ask for a better environment for my daughter's growth. Your team is truly outstanding.

This nursery is truly outstanding, and they go over and above for your child. I removed my child from a big brand nursery due to rising fees and an unwelcoming manager. Naturally, I was quite nervous about moving my daughter, however, they managed the transition perfectly. They are kind and so flexible with everything. They keep me updated daily on their app and will often send me private messages to keep me updated. They have made us feel so welcome as a family, and my daughter just loves it there. Even when she was struggling with sleep, they persevered with it and got her back into a routine. I was truly so lucky to have been recommended Speckles by another parent, and I highly recommend them myself.

My son joined this nursery at a year old he is now two. He is so happy here. I drop him off with no tears, nothing; he says bye muma, and off he goes. So proud of the little man - he's becoming so social and so friendly. The girls are so caring for him. Honestly, I love this nursery.

This nursery is absolutely the best. My son loves it so much. Staff look after him so well and take extra care as he is asthmatic, and they are always in touch with us about our son's condition. They do lots of activities that involve both the child and the parents. My son comes home really happy after nursery. Will 100% recommend it to any parents looking for a good and lovely nursery!

A really lovely nursery that provides excellent care at a competitive price. The rooms are airy and spacious, with lovely toys and books. The children are able to take part in lots of activities throughout the day, and they have a great outdoor space too. The staff and manager are caring and helpful, and they go out of their way to make sure that our son is safe and happy each day. We 100% recommend this nursery.

We couldn't be happier with Speckles Day Nursery. Our son attends 4-days a week and is really happy there. The staff are really friendly and helpful. My son's development has improved leaps and bounds since joining.

My daughter started the nursery last year, and she absolutely loves it there. Ever since she started, she’s been talking more and learnt a lot of new words. The staff members and management are great too. Their menu is excellent.

My daughter started this nursery near the beginning of the year! I’ve had no issues whatsoever! The staff are amazing and so polite, and my daughter gets so excited when being passed over at the door to the staff! The manager has always kept me updated with any changes being made! I would say this is the best nursery in the area that I’ve come across.

My son started at the nursery in September 2020 when he was 2-years-old. I have always been happy with the nursery setting, and my son loves going (even wants to go on the weekend). I would definitely recommend Speckles Day Nursery if you are looking for a nursery where you will feel at ease to leave your child/children, as the management team and all staff members are amazing!

We absolutely love Speckles Day Nursery! Our now two year old has been going to the nursery for over a year, and we are absolutely delighted with the staff and facilities at the nursery. Our son adores the staff members, he eats a variety of good, nutritious food, his individual needs are catered to, and we couldn’t be happier! Being a Covid baby, we thought our son would struggle socialising with others around him, but we have found it to be the opposite! Speckles have helped him develop resilience, social skills and boosted his confidence where he interacts very positively with others around him! Affordable pricing, great staff, flexible and excellent communication with parents - couldn’t recommend more!

Since my child started at Speckles Day Nursery 7-months ago, she has made such amazing progress. Our daughter was born during the pandemic and didn’t have much social interaction, but since she has been at nursery, she has made so many new friends and is speaking lots. She has plenty of opportunities to develop her skills to meet her milestones. Every day she has tried different activities. She absolutely loves going to the nursery every day as she goes in without fuss. On her settling in day, she settled in so well. The staff are amazing and caring towards the children and encouraging. As a parent, we are always informed about our child’s day and progress. I am so proud and pleased that my child attends Speckles day nursery.

My daughter joined Speckles Day when it first opened, she was 3-years-old at the time. She had been with a different nursery previously, and I very reluctantly had to move her when moving area. I viewed a few and picked Speckles Day as I liked the private entrance, the modern decor and the manager was very friendly and easy to talk to. My daughter has been at this nursery for over a year now, and her little 8-month-old brother has just joined the baby room too, that is how pleased I have been with their service; they have both of my precious tots. They are quick and efficient with the admin side of things, lovely and welcoming in person, provide full details of your children’s day at pick up and have genuine close bonds with all the children. I have taken the liberty to write this review as they are an 18-month-old family-run establishment and deserve recognition.

My daughter is attending this nursery, and I am proud to say I have seen a great improvement in her academic and social skills. The teachers are fantastic, and the nursery has good communication between them and the parents. My daughter is always happy going to school, and she loves their meals as well.
