Overall, this is a great nursery and I'm really happy with the care my sons receive. The manager is always available and responsive, which is reassuring. They take feedback from parents seriously and do their best to act on it. I'd like to give a special mention to the Forest Room team, every staff member is extremely caring, attentive, and lovely. I often receive wonderful updates from the staff with pictures and detailed descriptions of the activities my son is involved in. My child especially adores one staff member in particular who is such a sweet and caring individual. I've seen him running excitedly toward her, and she lovingly picked him up and hugged him. Moments like these really highlight the warmth and dedication of the staff. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a nurturing environment for my little one.

My son has been attending St Francis College Nursery for the past 2 months and his development has skyrocketed. From mobility to speech I am seeing him excel and I believe it's mainly down to the care he is getting at nursery. The staff are exceptional. I never have to worry if he is getting the right care and attention, the daily updates give me a lot of assurance and he's always in a good mood when I pick him up!

St Francis is a wonderful nursery that has provided our child with the best possible preschool experience. The teaching and care are of exceptional quality and our child is flourishing there. In preschool, they have the opportunity to do PE, music, swimming, French, forest school and more. The staff are amazing and really get to know the children on an individual basis. We couldn't be happier with our experience with St Francis.

St. Francis' Nursery has been an incredible experience for my child! The staff truly cares about each child's well-being, creating a warm and nurturing environment. My child looks forward to each day filled with fun activities that foster creativity and learning. The wonderful staff are not only attentive but also enthusiastic, making every moment enjoyable. I can't recommend St. Francis' Nursery highly enough for anyone looking for a caring and engaging place for their little ones!

Fantastic nursery! Our daughter has been here since opening and she has excelled! The staff are friendly, caring and forthcoming. The environment is playful and nurturing. They do lots of activities throughout the day and we are sent updates regularly. I feel my daughter is very safe and very well looked after and she returns home happy and full of life every day that she attends. I would highly recommend it.

Lovely amazing staff! My 3-year-old son was getting really upset at drop-off and didn't want to go in. The staff went above and beyond to make sure he was settled and even found out the cause of the problem keeping me in the loop all the time. Not only is there no more tears he now asks to go to nursery. I also love all the different activities St Francis has to offer I'd definitely recommend it.

Our son has been going to St Francis Nursery since July '24 and we have been really happy with how he has settled so far and also how quickly he settled. All of the staff are really friendly, helpful, and caring and they are always really fast to respond to any messages I send on the app. The communication via the app is great and we get constant updates during the day. We also get photos uploaded which is so lovely to see what he is doing and to see his happy little face. He has also been developing so well and progressing really quickly with different skills, which I am sure is due to the staff and activities they do at St Francis. The facilities are good too as the nursery has use of the main school's facilities like the swimming pool etc. which is great that it is included in the nursery fee. I am really happy that we decided to send our son here, thank you!

Our baby loves being dropped off at nursery which makes us happy and confident in her being well cared for. Her stay is made so enjoyable by all the staff but in particular her core carer. She's happy when she comes home and she has developed since being there. Recommend.

Our daughter has been going to St Francis for the past year and we've been really pleased with St Francis. They're very communicative, giving you updates throughout the day, which we've noticed has increased recently which has been a pleasant surprise. We've also noticed a great deal of learnings and new skills our daughter has picked up which has been lovely to see. We have even recommended St Francis to friends and would thoroughly recommend it to any prospective parents.

We are really happy with the care and activities provided by St Francis pre-school. Our daughter transferred there in April from a nursery in London and the improvement in what she is offered on a daily basis is amazing. The staff do brilliant activities with the children each day plus they do P.E and swimming as part of their curriculum. We also pay an additional termly fee to do ballet. The staff are lovely, attentive and caring and we have been really happy with our experience to date.

We've had a positive experience with St Francis College. After trying a few other nurseries, we were relieved to find a place where our 3-year-old son feels comfortable and engaged. It's the first time he's been happy to spend time away from us and has formed good relationships with the staff and other children. My child enjoys the activities, and we've noticed that he's becoming more confident and independent since starting at St Francis. The staff are attentive and provide a supportive environment for the children. We're pleased with our choice and would give the school 5 stars.

Our toddler has been attending St Francis for a year now and we could not be happier with her experience. She has absolutely thrived in the setting. She has made some incredible friends and is always excited to go in and see them. The staff are brilliant and look after the kids so well. They keep the app updated with meals, (naps and nappies when they're younger), activities, photos and regular updates on what milestones they are meeting. As well as plenty of free play, it feels like a more relaxed school-based approach and she is learning so much. Since they are attached to the private school, the nursery benefits from their facilities and teachers. The pre-schoolers have weekly swimming, music, forest school and French lessons included in the price. For a small additional fee (about £112/term) they are also able to attend weekly ballet lessons. Even with all these added benefits, we found them to be substantially cheaper than other nurseries in the area. Highly recommend!

I am a mother of two who use this nursery. Our eldest is 3 in December and the youngest 1 in December. They both joined in September. Prior to joining, we were quite nervous as they had never been left with anyone other than family. We are now so glad we found this nursery. They are both thriving and loving it. We get regular updates and gorgeous photos of our children having a lovely time. Since joining our children have both developed at an incredible rate, and they adore the staff there, and the staff are clearly very involved and caring with a passion for what they do.

Excellent nursery, amazing resources and facilities, especially for 3 years +. I really like how they often mix class ages and how much outdoor play there is. All children seem to be very well-adjusted, happy and thriving.

Our daughter has really settled into nursery and this is down to the incredible team that looks after her. We are confident heading to work, knowing they attend to her individual needs and she is well cared for. The nursery is great at doing activities with them daily (not so common at other nurseries) and sharing updates about her progress and sending us lots of photos via the app. Sending her here was the best decision we made.

Our daughter has been at St Francis for two months now and she loves it. She joined at age 2, having previously been at another nursery due to relocation, and although the transition to a new nursery was tricky for her, the staff were amazing at making her feel welcome and settled very quickly. They got to know her as an individual and worked really closely with us to help her thrive. The communication is excellent and we receive daily photos and details of all the varied activities she has been enjoying. A huge bonus for us compared to other nurseries we looked at is the space. The rooms are spacious and the equipment and facilities are amazing. The children have access not only to a large garden area but also the school grounds. This makes nursery days so much more enjoyable for our daughter. Staff are always planning really engaging activities such as cooking, dance lessons, Forest school etc. and we've seen her develop so many new skills and interests as a result.

Outstanding nursery. Our Daughter is so happy attending St Francis Nursery. She has learned so many new skills since starting there. All the staff are very kind towards the children. The staff all seem like they genuinely care. The staff are what really makes this a great place. There are so many activities for the children including swimming. We are very fortunate to send our daughter there, she has come a long way with the help of this nursery. Highly Recommend. Thank you so much!

My son thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery. He is developing new skills and loves the interaction with the other children. From the day he started he has been happy and been himself. I have always felt at peace leaving him in the capable, caring hands of the team, knowing he is enjoying his day whilst I get on with mine. I appreciate the app updates and this is very simple to set up and use. Any message sent is read and responded to in a timely manner.

Our child has had a fantastic time at St Francis' Nursery so far. We've received fantastic support and advice, and they've worked with us in looking at potential additional needs for our child. It really feels like teamwork between us and the nursery support staff. The swimming is also absolutely fantastic, our child loves swimming and it's really increased their confidence in the water which is such a brilliant life skill. Our child is also enjoying learning French at nursery.

We highly recommend this nursery. They keep you updated via the app so you’re able to have a full understanding of what your child’s done throughout the day. They upload curriculum information and photos which is great to see and create open communication between the nursery and ourselves about our daughter. The teachers provide updates in the morning for drop off and when picking up, which is a much-appreciated interaction and provides peace of mind, knowing our daughter is in a safe setting and seeing her develop over the last few months has been amazing.
