Friendly fish is exactly that friendly and homely. Children's learning is always at the forefront of everything they do. Beach school and trips to the shops to buy resources to implement their new curiosity approach to learning. Children are happy and well looked after by all staff.

I cannot express enough how grateful we are for the wonderful experience our daughter has had at Friendly Fish Nursery. From the very first day, it was clear that this nursery priorities the well-being and happiness of every child. Our daughter has settled in incredibly quickly, which speaks volumes about the nurturing environment they provide. The warm greetings and personalised care she receives each day make her excited to go to nursery. We truly appreciate the open communication with the staff, the manager, responds quickly to any questions we have and her key workers share delightful stories about her day. In a world where finding the right nursery can be daunting, we feel incredibly lucky to have found Friendly Fish. We wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and dynamic environment for their little ones.

All of my children have attended The Friendly Fish, starting in December 2019. The staff are all kind and caring and communicate well with parents. My children have enjoyed their time at nursery and my elder child who is now at school, still speaks fondly of his time there.

Friendly Fish has been an amazing part of our little girl's world since she was 1. She always wants to go, loves the activities and the outdoor space. As parents we find every member of staff to be friendly and feel like they have really got to know our daughter and care for her with love. The manager and her team are wonderful.

Our son started going to The Friendly Fish when he was 9 months, he is now 18 months and thoroughly enjoys it, he is so smiley on pick up and chatty with his friends' names. The handovers we receive are so thorough in person at pick up and we also have an app we can check on through the day if needed. Both rooms my son have been in include such caring and considerate staff. They are so easy to talk to and listen to you. Particularly when my son joined, they were so organized in finding out what he enjoyed, what and how he ate, how he slept and this information has been passed through the rooms. My son particularly likes going out in the garden, he goes out in the garden twice a day and how much he enjoys this reflects at home (as he's always asking for the garden now). He also visited the beach recently with staff. The nursery is always looking to adapt, find exciting things for all the children to do, we are so pleased we were recommended here for our son (more than 1 recommendation too!).

The nursery has gone through an amazing transformation over the last several months and children are truly thriving. The communication with the management is excellent and all the concerns responded to promptly. We are very pleased. Our daughter truly enjoys the great outdoor space, the resources are plenty and well thought through. Highly recommended.

My little girl has thrived at the Friendly Fish Nursery and she is always smiley when I pick her up. All the staff take wonderful care of her and give her lots of opportunities to be creative. She started there at 8 months old and is currently in preschool. We get told everything through the online app and on pick-up as well. They update me with all the fun things she gets up to and they support her with her development too.

The Friendly Fish Nursery is an amazing nursery. Since my son's recent health diagnosis they have been very accommodating to his needs and being very supportive and understanding. My son loves being at the nursery he always has a smile on his face and still has a smile when he comes home. Although my son can't talk they have taught him some Makaton to help him communicate with us which has helped massively. I can't thank Friendly Fish enough for all their continued support and everything they do for my son. So thank you ladies.

Love this nursery, my child has thrived whilst they have been there. The staff really care, they want your child to get the most out of every day and genuinely seem to love spending time with the children. There are so many opportunities for enrichment and creativity and the setting and facilities are top-notch. Even though it is already great, the manager has so many plans for improvements and updates it just shows how much she wants the kids to have amazing experiences. This enthusiasm in turn energises the staff under her who seem to always go the extra mile to give the kids exciting learning opportunities whilst still managing to have lots of fun.

My child has attended Friendly Fish since August 2023, going for a full day. We absolutely love the setting - the staff are caring, professional, attentive and truly know each child. My child has loved going on trips to the beach, orchard, town and a bus journey to a local school, amongst other things. The nursery ensures the children are kept busy throughout the day, with regular time in the garden. My child has allergies and dietary requirements which are always treated with the necessary caution and understanding. We are very happy with Friendly Fish - my child looks forward to their days there and always happily tells us about their day.

My son has been at The Friendly Fish Nursery since he was 9 months old and is now in his last year. From the very start the nursery has been extremely warm and caring about my son and ensured they have got to know him. They have been responsive to any queries or concerns that we may have had, as well as offering support to our family where needed. We have never felt we couldn't raise anything with any staff member and the manager is always available to talk to. The nursery has amazing facilities and the manager is always looking at ways to improve as well as change the environment to benefit the children. The garden is really spacious with a patio and artificial grass so can be used all year round, with amazing play equipment. They have built links with the local school, offering the preschool children the opportunity to use the school's forest school environment, building upon outdoor activities and teaching the children how to travel safely on a bus. Amazing nursery!
