Grace's Day Nursery

Through the craziness of the pandemic, the nursery has put measures in place that reassured me that it is secure and put my mind at ease. The team are incredible, they send lots of photos and videos of what he’s up to throughout the day and he always had a smile on his face. Grace’s Day Nursery is a fabulous nursery and my little boy loves it!

Grace’s are an outstanding team. My son has been going to Grace’s since he was 9 months old (now 4) and we have never doubted our decision for sending him. More recently my youngster’s keyworker has been working closely with my husband and me to ensure our son is given some extra assistance he needs…something that has been invaluable, especially as starting centre is approaching. Grace’s have a fantastic mindset and truly caregiving about the kids they look after.

Everybody is extremely approachable and approachable and most of all provide such a delightful experience for our son. The rooms are bright and spotless with lots of different activities from messy playtime to forest centre to surprise trips from the farm animals! I cannot rate Grace’s highly enough and have recommended it to a friend whose youngster starts in July! The team in the back office were our initial points of contact before joining Little Blooms and now Saplings. We moved our son to Grace’s over a year ago and from our initial enquiry to now we have found the teams so inviting. We look forward to our daily updates on the app and the pictures to see what the kids have been up to. I find there are lots of meals I wouldn’t usually cook, meaning he gets to try lots of different flavours and cuisines. There’s always a varied food menu, cooked on-site that’s on rotation.

We made up our minds extremely quickly that this was the setting for us. Without a doubt the best nursery around! My son goes in and comes home‑like content each day and we feel relaxed knowing he is well cared for. Everyone that works there is always so positive and they truly take the time to get to know the family, so whenever you have a chat it’s always personal. He is always up to different activities each day and comes home‑like talking about the things he has learnt, which is so delightful. However, after looking at several nurseries and being disappointed, we came to Nursery House for an open day and thought that the setting (inside and out) was incredible! Our little boy wanted to playtime instantly and felt comfortable enough to leave us so that he could go and playtime. I was extremely hesitant to send my little boy to the nursery to begin with as he had only truly known his close family due to lockdown. Since then I feel that my son has come on leaps and bounds in terms of his growth and also socially too.

My three kids and I have been a part of Grace’s Day Nursery for over eight years and my third is due to finish in July. My eldest kids still talk about their years at Grace’s so fondly and I will be extremely sad when my youngest has to leave for centre. From enjoyable games in the garden to bug hunting, messy playtime and exploring at Forest Centre, the list goes on and on. My kids have had so much enjoyable over the years and have come out of nursery every day smiling from ear to ear about how much they have enjoyed their day. Everyone who works there is so gentle, kind and compassionate and genuinely cares about every youngster in their caregiving. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for my kids to spend their early years. I would highly highly recommend Grace’s and the incredible team who work there to anyone and everyone, they are quite simply the B=best!

Fantastic team, fantastic premises, fantastic activities, fantastic community, fantastic updates, animals on site and I can genuinely give no faults. They look after, spotless and feed my boy and take caregiving of him to the same standard I would and that’s saying something. The best setting for my youngster.

Her growth was a bit behind in my view as she was with a nanny from 10-months-old. My 4-year-old has been with the nursery for over a year now. She’s much more independent, confident and mastered so many abilities. Unable to socialise with the other little ones has affected her in many ways. It’s a real relief to know your kids are being looked after by a group of dedicated professionals! I would highly recommend Grace’s to any parent. I’m truly pleased to see how much progress she’s made ever since she started at Grace’s. When I delivered my second baby I did not hesitate to send him to Grace’s too.

Been associated with Grace’s for over 5 months now. Not only is the nursery focused on outdoor activities – our little one has been development words/sentences rapidly – and most of the time she amazes us with her knowledge. Big thank you to all nursery team and the smooth conduct of the nursery by the manager and team. Our daughter has been enjoying her time here, especially the garden time and the sandpit. You all surely deserve a hip-hip-hooray for taking caregiving of our kids so well.

Could not highly recommend this nursery enough! They will always help you in any way they can. We stumbled on Little Grace’s/Grace’s Day Nursery when visiting the garden centre one day and we knew then we wanted our kids to go there. We applied for both kids to go before they were even born and we are extremely content we did. The team are always so professional, supportive and approachable. I can definitely say the nursery has made them confident, sociable and inquisitive, which is incredible, especially as our eldest was born a month before the pandemic. Both our kids are always excited to attend and it is so reassuring hearing your youngster tell you they are content at the end of the day.

It’s is in a beautiful location, the rooms are light, spacious and fully equipped, and the gardens (my son’s favourite part – especially the little slide) are fantastic. He isn’t always content to be left in the morning, but the team take it in their stride to comfort him and before long he is content running around the nursery for the rest of the day with his friends! I was worried as he is often a fussy eater at home‑like but at Grace’s he has been tempted by new foods (I’m jealous of some of the meals he’s had) and doing well at mealtimes, supported by the team and they have let me know at the end of the day. I have adored seeing photos, observations and daily diary entries on the app so I know what my one-year-old gets up to during the day. My son extremely quickly settled in at Grace’s Day Nursery, thanks to the kindness, patience and energy of the team. We knew from the moment we were shown around that he’d be content there. Couldn’t ask for more for a nursery for our little man!

She is now two and a half, and we couldn’t be happier with the caregiving she receives. The provision is fantastic and there are a brilliant range of activities both inside and outside which build on our daughter’s individual interests, whilst also challenging her to try new things. The team are warm‑hearted, kind and nurturing and our daughter has blossomed whilst at nursery and is always extremely excited to go and see her friends and educators. Our daughter has attended since she was ten months old. The meals are extremely well balanced and our daughter enjoys them extremely much. We would highly highly recommend Grace’s Day Nursery in a heartbeat. An absolutely superb nursery!

Overall, extremely content that we choose Grace’s. Returning to work and leaving your youngster in the caregiving of someone else can be extremely daunting. The team keep the parents involved with forums, parents evenings and nursery visits such as Mother’s Day tea. Grace’s made this transition with as little stress and disruption as possible. All the team are extremely approachable and approachable and update on a daily basis with how your little one is getting on.

Our little one started at Grace’s right after she turned one and has been attending the nursery for over a year now. We often find her in the lap of one of the carers reading a book or exploring the garden at her own pace when it’s time to pick her up. She transitioned from Little Buds to Blooms a month ago. Overall, we are extremely pleased with Grace’s and couldn’t have asked for better carers for our baby. It is a combination of kindness, politeness and enthusiasm which makes the team so excellent at what they do. The management is extremely approachable over the phone and emails throughout the day and is always up for a chat, listening to our concerns and answering our queries. The little one looks forward to spending the day with them every morning, she is welcomed with a smile and a cuddle, and we are posted of all the incredible activities she has done throughout the day. Right from settling into her transition to the next room, we have been at ease knowing that she is in outstanding hands.

My son started at Grace’s in September 2021 and with him being a lockdown baby I was so worried about him not settling and crying all day as he wouldn’t even go to a family member without screaming, but from day one I felt reassured by the team in the seedlings room that he would be okay and it wouldn’t take long to settle. I now go to work knowing he is secure and content and that makes me feel so content. They have helped to transform my son from a baby to a toddler and he is now a confident and approachable little 18-month-old. I can’t rate this nursery enough! He now loves arriving at Grace’s and spending his days with the kids and team in his class. We are so content we chose Grace’s and can’t thank them enough for everything they have done for our son and can’t wait to watch him grow here for years to come until he has to leave and start big centre. The team are fantastic from the educators to the leadership team.

Beautiful nursery and delightful team. My daughter has so much enjoyable there and I always feel secure leaving her in their caregiving. I think they have a fantastic choice of food options and I think this has also helped with her eating at home‑like. Would highly recommend this nursery highly!

A fantastic nursery, from Little Graces right though to Manor House. All the team and especially my son’s key workers are delightful. They have worked with us to ensure his needs are met! I highly highly recommend and will be sending my newborn next year! My son has a number of allergies and I fully trust Grace’s to cater for his needs.
