Ladybird Nursery - Thornsett

Both of my daughters have attended Ladybird Nursery as Toddlers/Pre Schoolers and have been very happy there. There is a good size garden outside with climbing frame/toys and planting area. The inside is well laid out with toddler appropriate facilities. Staff have always been welcoming, warm and friendly. We have always had good feedback and reports from staff. Whenever I have had any contact with management or any queries, there has been a speedy and professional reply. My youngest struggled to settle at nursery and staff were always very kind and reassuring and we always had good feedback about her day and how she had settled. We felt reassured that she was going into a safe and caring place. The pre school have also recently been organising more trips/fun days and links with the local Nursing Home which have been fab!

My daughter is extremely happy at Ladybird Thornsett. She spent a year in the baby room, is currently in toddlers and about to progress into pre-school. The staff are very warm and loving and seem to genuinely care for her. She is very happy to go in every day and when she found the transition from baby to toddler room hard for the first few days the staff worked hard to make her feel safe. She has been supported to be very independent at things like dressing, toileting, eating and tidying up after herself from a young age. The environment is well ordered and communication with staff and management is very straightforward. The mini greenhouse, balance bikes and climbing frame outside are lovely. The menu of food offered is nutritious and balanced with no sugary puddings and a protein at every meal. I would strongly recommend the nursery to anyone.

I have 2 children here, one baby and 1 preschooler. Both kids are happy there. They do a range of different activities, including trips to the park and library. Children are encouraged to learn through play, both inside and outside. Meals are included and they have a great variety, encouraging kids to eat different foods, and mealtime is a social occasion.

The setting is lovely and open but with set areas for different activities- ie book corner, home playing etc. staff are friendly and supportive, they liaise well with parents and encourage the relationship to benefit the kids. Every child has a key worker which is great for continuity. They communicate via an app, as well as at pick up and drop off. They provide photos of activities which is lovely
I would highly recommend this nursery!
