June 6, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth of our children attended Edwinstowe and we couldn’t be happier with the care for both of our children. The rooms are lovely and bright, and unlike other nurseries we looked at, the numbers of children in each was smaller. The staff are all amazing and really experienced and they all care a lot for the children.

June 14, 2022 at 12:00 amThe nursery provides an extraordinary environment for children’s development. The preschool team is highly competent and caring. They helped our child to gain confidence and develop communication skills. Our child enjoys their time at the nursery. We, as parents, feel the nursery hits the right balance between learning and playing and fosters creativity and imagination in our child. It is wonderful to see the nursery doing out-of-the-box activities, such as yoga, french lessons and hosting ducklings.

June 14, 2022 at 12:00 amUniversity at Edwinstowe Close is a lovely, friendly and small nursery. My son has varied, full and happy days there. The staff in his room are caring and professional, he’s developed great relationships with all of them. The outdoor space is big and well-equipped, they play outdoors regularly during all weathers and seasons. The food is balanced, healthy and my son likes it! It’s made on-site daily. I’d absolutely recommend this nursery.

June 14, 2022 at 12:00 amI find the staff to be very attentive and helpful. My daughter always comes home happy and is always learning. The nursery is very organised and I find the newsletter and the app is always helpful. My daughter has a special bond with the staff members which is a testament to them.

July 20, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little girl’s key worker could not have been better. All of the staff are very good. The care given is totally outstanding and the children do new tasks every day. Parents can go in at any time of day and the staff are always working very hard, doing projects with the children and giving them great care and comfort. My little girl’s key worker went way beyond what she needed to do to help my little girl settle in. My girl had been with a childminder so it was quite a long settling period, but my little girl now loves it there. I’m a solo mum and I’ve also been touched by the mindful way her key worker has dealt with our family situation. The garden is huge, the craft activities are great, and there are lots of new themed activities brought in each week. Also, the children get two cooked meals a day.

August 9, 2022 at 12:00 amThe wonderful staff at Edwinstowe have just finished looking after my almost 3-year-old, he has been attending the nursery since he was 1. Before him, my eldest boy went there from 8 months to the age of 3. I can’t recommend Edwinstowe enough, all the staff there have taken such good care of my children. They are caring, attentive and always there to have a conversation about all aspects of childcare. Thank you, Edwinstowe.

October 25, 2022 at 12:00 amWe are extremely happy with the nursery and the way our child feels about it. We really like how the nursery designs the education program and always keeps the children busy and discovering new things that expand their knowledge. There are plenty of activities and games where they learn while playing and the atmosphere is always friendly and joyful.

November 16, 2022 at 12:00 amAll the staff at Edwinstowe are friendly, loving and caring with the children. They
have always been keen to help with any concerns I could have had about my child. Rooms, gardens, activities – all of it is great, but the most important thing to me is the respect and love they all give to the children and how happy and protected they feel.

December 21, 2022 at 12:00 amOur young daughter (9 months old) has been at Edwinstowe Close for the past three months and we could not be happier about the staff at the nursery, their facilities and the general set-up at Edwinstowe. They are incredibly dedicated to each individual child. Our daughter seems very happy herself there, particularly with her key worker whom she loves spending time with.

January 9, 2023 at 12:00 amWe could not be more pleased with the nursery and the care and support they provide to our child who is in their third class at Edwinstowe. As frustrating as it can often be, the nursery follows their policies very closely and ensure that the health and well-being of all children are at the forefront of their daily practice. Both of our children attended the nursery, the eldest recently leaving to start reception class. Edwinstowe assisted in ensuring that they were very prepared for the next step. In short, I would not want to send my child anywhere else.

January 31, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter is very happy at nursery. Staff support her in her growth, listen to our concerns and help with her everyday needs. We particularly like outdoor activities and the close interactions with staff at dropp-off and pick-up. We also appreciate the strict interdiction against smart phones in the childrens rooms. There are occasional pictures on the app and most records are taken on paper (e.g food, nappy changes, development reports), which is great.

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amWe are very impressed with the care that our daughter is receiving at University Nursery at Edwinstowe Close. We have never felt that our child is just one of many children there and instead feel that her carers really do know and adore her. (This is in contrast to some of the experiences that our friends have had at other nurseries in Cambridge, particularly regarding very young children.) Our daughter is very close with her key worker and everybody else in her room. She receives well-rounded care that is helping her to grow and develop in the ways that we would hope. Her communication skills and confidence have come on leaps and bounds since being at the nursery. We could not recommend Edwinstowe enough and are so grateful to all of the staff there.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has been at the nursery part time from 6 months and full time from 13 months. We have been so grateful for the kind care, support and attention to our son and impressed by the quality of learning, play and especially the food. He loves going and we are confident he is in safe hands.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son loves the nursery and has formed a lovely connection with the staff. I have to prize him away from toys and friends at the end of the day and he eats better than me!
It is very reassuring to be able to drop him off and not think about him all day so I can switch my work brain on.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has been there for almost three years now. He is very happy there. He has formed very good relationships with the carers there. He is also making lots of friends with other children. It feels like he is given space to be himself whilst being given opportunities to explore different things.
The communication with staff is good. As is the food which caters for a wide range of requirements. The building feels secure. It is a friendly place with lots of colour. I like the charity initiatives. The staff seem to care a lot, for example, when our son’s younger brother was born carers from his previous rooms came to congratulate him. Also, one day there was an ad hoc puppet show with children from different rooms. The staff are also very conscientious about child safety without being overbearing. Having recently visited a few other nurseries I notice the friendliness, colour and that is also quite noisy (I see that as a good thing!). We will send our younger child there.

May 30, 2023 at 12:00 amWe count ourselves lucky that our son goes to University Nursery at Edwinstowe. All the staff are lovely and committed to doing everything they can for the children. I would recommend the nursery to my friends and family.

June 5, 2023 at 12:00 amWe love this nursery! My daughter joined when I returned to work and she was 8 months old. I saw her grow and thrive thanks to all the loving care and skills of the team at Edwinstowe. She has been supported to learn and make friends. She is confident and curious about the world, thanks to this nursery. Beyond the team, the food and facilities and communication with parents are best in class. We will miss this community.

July 19, 2023 at 12:00 amWe’ve been very impressed by the care shown to both our children by University Nursery at Edwinstowe Close. They have been very helpful and supportive with any issues related to social, emotional and academic development. The space is great – plenty of outdoor space and play. The food seems varied and nutritious and the children always seem to eat more and a wider variety of things than they do at home!

July 31, 2023 at 12:00 amThe experiences with Edwinstowe have made our future childcare and educational arrangement very difficult. We simply couldn’t find any other provider that can make our little ones as happy as they have been. At the same time, we are also so very grateful to the nursery team for preparing our children for their next chapter of life, despite being sad to leave the nursery, we are proud to see our children have thrived and obtained the needed skills for reception in primary.
