Grace's Day Nursery

My son very quickly settled in at Grace’s Day Nursery, thanks to the kindness, patience and energy of the team.
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 great. We knew from the moment we were shown around that he’d be happy there.
I have loved seeing photos, observations and daily diary entries on the app so I know what my one-year-old gets up to during the day. He isn’t always happy to be left in the morning, but the team take it in their stride to comfort him and before long he is happy 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 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 staff and they have let me know at the end of the day.
Couldn’t ask for more for a nursery for our little man!

My daughter always goes to nursery so excited for the day ahead and that’s because of the great staff and learning experiences they offer. From forest school to play activities to a wide variety of food to offer her pallet, everything here helps develop my daughter into a wonderful little girl. Thank you for everything that you do!

Wonderful nursery. Caring, attentive staff. My son settled in quickly when he moved to Little Grace’s from an existing childminder and again when he transitioned to Big Graces. His development has come on loads. Lovely place for children to be nurtured and develop. Excellent facilities.

Beautiful nursery and lovely staff. My daughter has so much fun there and I always feel safe leaving her in their care. I think they have a great choice of food options and I think this has also helped with her eating at home. Would recommend this nursery highly!

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 staff 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 safe and happy 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 friendly little 18-month-old.
He now loves arriving at Grace’s and spending his days with the children and staff in his class.
The staff are fantastic from the teachers to the leadership team.
I can’t rate this nursery enough! We are so happy 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 school.

Best nursery in the area with good indoor and outdoor space. It also benefits from being within an actual nursery. My daughter loves going to the nursery and misses it on the days she doesn’t go.
Love it!

My daughter has been at Grace’s Day Nursery for almost a year now and we are so happy that she is in safe hands. We have enjoyed seeing her little updates on the app, we love the little things she makes for us and love that we are included on family days like Mother’s Day afternoon tea. They have taught her so much. A 5-star nursery with the most caring team, we wouldn’t have our daughter anywhere else.

We have used Grace’s for over 5 years, sending both our children from just before they were 1-year-old. The service has always been excellent. The team are amazing and one of the biggest testaments to how they care for their staff is that their employees remain for years, get promoted and are well skilled at caring for the children and making the nursery exciting and fun. We have a bit of a commute to get to Grace’s but wouldn’t even consider going elsewhere. The amenities are second to none, especially the on-site forest school. And the value for money is great, given the long hours they are open, which has been a lifesaver when both my husband and I were working in London every day.
We have recommended Grace’s to friends and family and would continue to do so. Both our children have loved their time at Grace’s and it set my son up perfectly for him starting school in 2020.

My daughter has been there since she was about 18-months-old, she came from the Little Graces where she had an okay time. Since moving over to the Manor House she has thrived massively – we spent part of this time in lockdown too.
My daughter loves going and is very excited to return to forest school again.
As she is due to leave soon and start primary school in September, I feel the saplings one team have been making real progress with her and her phonics, learning and routine.
She enjoys attending ballet with the teacher on a Thursday.
Since being able to return to the building she enjoys showing me her rooms and likes to head straight upstairs in the mornings.
I think she will miss Grace’s Day Nursery 2massively but it would have been a huge part of her education in the last few years.
We are very grateful for the nursery.

Grace’s are an excellent 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. Grace’s have a great mindset and really care about the children they look after. More recently my child’s keyworker has been working closely with my husband and me to ensure our son is given some extra support he needs…something that has been invaluable, especially as starting school is approaching.

My son has been coming to Grace’s Day Nursery since 2020, he started at the age of one and has loved it since day one. The staff are very welcoming and great with the children and my son has really developed since joining Grace’s. I couldn’t wish for a better nursery, my son is always happy there and I know he is always doing something fun and enjoying his day whilst there. My daughter will also be joining this year when she turns one and I am sure she will love it just as much. The outside space was one of the reasons I loved this nursery as my son loves being outside and they get lots of opportunities to explore the outside space during their day. They also have the opportunity to take part in extra activities whilst there like sports for tots which my son loves

I was very hesitant to send my little boy to the nursery to begin with as he had only really known his close family due to lockdown. 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 amazing! Our little boy wanted to play instantly and felt comfortable enough to leave us so that he could go and play. We made up our minds very quickly that this was the setting for us. Since then I feel that my son has come on leaps and bounds in terms of his development and also socially too. He is always up to different activities each day and comes home talking about the things he has learnt, which is so lovely. Everyone that works there is always so positive and they really take the time to get to know the family, so whenever you have a chat it’s always personal. My son goes in and comes home happy each day and we feel relaxed knowing he is well cared for. Without a doubt the best nursery around!

Great staff, great premises, great activities, great community, great communication, animals on site and I can genuinely give no faults. The best environment for my child. They look after, clean and feed my boy and take care of him to the same standard I would and that’s saying something.

Our little one started at Grace’s right after she turned one and has been attending the nursery for over a year now. She transitioned from Little Buds to Blooms a month ago. Right from settling into her transition to the next room, we have been at ease knowing that she is in excellent hands.
It is a combination of kindness, politeness and enthusiasm which makes the team so good at what they do. 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 amazing activities she has done throughout the day. 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.
The management is very approachable over the phone and emails throughout the day and is always up for a chat, listening to our concerns and answering our queries.
Overall, we are very pleased with Grace’s and couldn’t have asked for better carers for our baby.

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

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