Handkerchief Day Nursery

The nursery provides lovely facilities in a friendly and welcoming environment. The children have a range of activities every day and I really like the fact they get them outside as much as possible. The nursery has an excellent forest school and my daughter often comes home with her all in one waterproof muddy, which I always think is a good sign of fun!
The staff are very friendly and helpful and my daughter has always loved it there.
The food is cooked on site and there are an excellent menu and range of food.
The nursery also provides all nappies, wipes, cream, sun cream and pain relief which is great not having to worry about taking these things in and them running out.

The ladies in the baby room are great. They have helped both my son and us to settle in, providing updates/pictures during the day and good feedback when I pick him up. I feel that they genuinely care about providing a safe, nurturing environment for the babies to develop within.

My daughter has been attending this nursery now for 4 months, at the start she would not settle when dropping her off but now loves attending and waves us off. This is down to the baby team being patient and helping her settle in. They are all very helpful and clearly caring of the children they have in their care. We receive detailed events of her day which always seem jam packed with fun and learning activities along with random emails with pictures during the day of what she is up to.

Our daughter loves attending and, knowing this, we enjoy sending her there.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to my family and friends as it provides a safe, fun and great learning environment for my daughter to grow. The staff are excellent and have been great with both of my daughters.

You will not find another nursery where the word excellent can be applied to every aspect of it. From the office team, through to the nursery facilities and all the nursery staff right down to its very ethos Handkerchief shines out above all others.

We looked at 9 separate nurseries before we decided on Handkerchief Nursery and I cannot convey succinctly enough just how pleased and impressed we have been. They make you feel like you are part of one big family, where nothing is too much trouble and your parenting is their parenting, and this can be seen in just how happy our little boy is with them.

The facilities and approach the nursery has is without doubt leading the way in modern childcare, providing brilliant enrichment, enhancing our little one’s development and encouraging him to explore, interact and grow. The Nursery Manager, Office Manager and ALL the team in the baby room are to be commended on a truly brilliant job.

This nursery should be your only choice.

From the minute we visited Handkerchief we knew this was the nursery for our boy.
Overall appearance, features, rooms, areas, facilities and especially the staff really stood out and still do on a daily basis.
We love the ethos of Handkerchief and the efforts everybody goes to maintain it, great variety of fresh fruit and cooked food on a daily basis, utilising natural, rustic and effective equipment to stimulate all of the children and modern technology to record, report and keep the parents updated regularly.
Every member of Handkerchief really is a credit to it in every role they play. Top marks!

Handkerchief is a lovely nursery.
Both my daughters attend here. They both have special dietary and heath conditions. Handkerchief have always kept up to date with their health conditions, informing all staff who keep my daughters safe. They are able to cater and carefully plan around my children to ensure they’re involved in all activities. My eldest loves forest school. She enjoys looking after the animals, climbing the trees and exploring the workshop area. My youngest daughter started in the Spring and settled well with the staff members. Despite her separation anxiety, the staff are able to help keep her calm at drop off times.
The staff are all well trained and treat each child with the love, care and attention they all need.
They give me great confidence knowing my children are safe and happy.

The staff at Handkerchiefs are amazing and so lovely with the children. My little girl started at seven months in the baby room and is now in the Tweenie room so have met staff in both rooms. My girl settled very quickly in both rooms and it’s reassuring I can leave her and she will have a lovely day.
It’s great that everything is included and the meals are nice and healthy too.

The nursery’s support has been outstanding and my daughter has love every minute! So thank you.
She’s ready now for school and that’s thanks to your help.

Great family feel nursery – my daughter loves it. All staff are so kind and caring. The food is excellent and varied and the room and outdoor space is great.
