July 23, 2020 at 12:00 amElmfield is an amazing nursery.
My son has been very happy here. The staff are amazing. They are enthusiastic and engaging with the children. They are supportive and understanding with the parents. They have been absolutely fabulous during the Covid crisis.
They have been calm and professional and allowed us to keep going to work when we have needed to; even opening their doors on bank holidays for key workers.

July 23, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son started nursery in July, and he has really enjoyed it. The staff have been great at helping him to settle in and keeping me updated with how he gets on when he’s there (through the parent app and also verbally).

July 23, 2020 at 12:00 amThe staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming.
Our son started around 10-months ago after just turning one – the staff were brilliant at easing him into the environment.
It’s amazing to see the progress he’s made from that point onwards, and how much enjoyment he gets from being there – he now happily runs in and waves goodbye!
Nothing is too much to ask, and the parent app is brilliant to check-in through the day, and see how they’re getting on.
We couldn’t fault this place.

July 23, 2020 at 12:00 amOur son started in the ‘Cygnet’ room at just 11-months-old, as I returned to work part-time.
The staff in his baby room were particularly supportive of me and made my son feel very settled within weeks.
He has returned again recently, this time into the bigger ‘Swan’ room, and seems to be really enjoying it and settling once again!
The variety of home-cooked food is great for his palette, and the girls provide lots of smiles and most importantly, cuddles which he loves!

July 23, 2020 at 12:00 amThe whole team at Elmfield are fantastic. It feels like a home to my daughter, and the staff are all extremely maternal and caring. It puts my mind at ease knowing she is in safe hands and having such wonderful days at Elmfield. The communication via the app is extremely good throughout the day. The activities created each day are extensive, and my daughter has learnt a lot from her time there. I would recommend the nursery to anyone wishing to find a safe, happy, caring and loving nursery for their child. It has exceeded my expectations.

July 23, 2020 at 12:00 amElmfield is a lovely nursery – the word I have repeatedly heard other people use is nurturing, and my personal experience certainly reflects that. My 2-year-old daughter absolutely loves being there and always comes out chattering away about her day. The staff are all lovely, and all seem to know every child in the nursery.
The app they use is especially great – it’s very reassuring to be able to see how she’s doing as the day goes on, in particular, how much and what she has eaten and how long she has slept for. But it’s also lovely just hearing what she’s been up to in some detail – and seeing photos – so that I can ask her about it when I pick her up.
The management is also very friendly, approachable and efficient – I always get a very quick response to any queries, and they are very sensitive to any concerns. In short, I’m extremely happy that we chose Elmfield!

July 23, 2020 at 12:00 amCould not recommend this nursery enough. My eldest child attended for 3-years and was always welcomed with a smile. They complete some creative and well thought out activities for the different age groups, and provide excellent meals for the children. My second child now attends, and although struggles with attachment, the nursery have made both myself and my child feel at ease. They send photos and updates throughout the day and always provide cuddles when needed.

July 23, 2020 at 12:00 amElmfield Nursery is such a nourishing, friendly, professional and caring environment.
The staff are so kind and try their very best for each and every child in their care. The manager is also so supportive and helpful, and they make an excellent team of people to care for our children.
The environment is stimulating, safe and fun. Classes are split by age group which places children with suitably aged peers.
I certainly wouldn’t take my two children anywhere else.

July 24, 2020 at 12:00 amIt is hard to put into words how amazing and brilliant Elmfield Nursery and staff are. I’ll try it! We’ve been part of the Elmfield family (because that’s what it feels like) for 6-years now. I can’t speak highly enough of the care and attention our boys have received at that time.
There is something intangible about the Elmfield staff that I can only explain by saying it’s clear they really care about the children and they provide love and attention that children of that age need.
Choosing Elmfield as the place to care for our two children is the best decision we’ve made. We will really miss sending our boys there. We recommend the nursery 100% and thank all the staff for their efforts and support over the last 6-years.

July 24, 2020 at 12:00 amElmfield Nursery is fantastic! The staff are always so warm and welcoming, and my daughter loves going. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic, the staff have remained calm and nurturing with the children. The parent app allows you to see what your child has done during the day, including photos, which is great! I honestly cannot fault this nursery!

July 24, 2020 at 12:00 amWhat can I say… Elmfield Nursery is the best. Both my children have progressed through Elmfield from babies. The staff are so caring and personable. They meet every child (and parents’ needs). Their understanding, compassion and genuine affection for the children is second to none. I feel happy and confident when my kids are there as I know they are being looked after just like at home. It’s like a big protective warm family. In my 6-years using the nursery, I have never had one thing to complain about. My kids come skipping out with smiles on their faces. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

July 24, 2020 at 12:00 amOur son has attended Elmfield for nearly two years, and we are extremely happy with his experience. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming, and we know that he is happy. Staff are also very accommodating and are only too happy to go that extra mile. The resources and activities offered to the children always seem well thought out, and we know that the staff know our son well. Our son particularly loves the outdoor area! Communication is excellent, and we enjoy seeing photos and descriptions of our son’s day via the app. Our son will soon be a big brother, and we won’t hesitate to send our other child to Elmfield.

July 24, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Elmfield Nursery a couple of days a week since just before her 1st birthday. She absolutely loves it, she doesn’t look back at me when she goes in and is excited to see everyone. She has made so much progress with her speech and learning to play with others and on her own. I love the fact they keep you updated through the parent’s link app with activities and the food they have eaten through the day. She seems to take part in a lot of varied activities, and her skills have progressed tremendously. Would recommend Elmfield to everyone; I don’t have any concerns, and all the staff are lovely and amazing at their jobs.

July 24, 2020 at 12:00 amElmfield is a wonderful, happy and very loving nursery. The staff are so warm and friendly, they clearly care about the children very much and have such a loving bond with them. Great relationships with parents are nurtured from day one, and because the staff turnover is so low, you really do get to know everyone in the setting very quickly.
The days are fun-filled, imaginative, very stimulating, with lots of time spent outdoors. The food menus are thoughtful and very balanced. The office team are so helpful and great at accommodating changes to schedules days if we need to. We can ring them with any queries or requests, and they are always a pleasure to speak to.
Our son was so happy to return after lockdown, and we feel very confident in the changes that have been made to ensure safety – but crucially for us, the warm and loving atmosphere remains exactly the same. We feel very lucky to have found Elmfield; it is such a special place.

July 24, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son started at Elmfield Nursery three weeks ago, after three months of lockdown. It was obviously a big adjustment for him, but everyone has made him feel very welcome and furthermore been reassuring to my husband and I. Both my nieces went to this nursery, finishing over two years ago, and there is still a lot of the same staff which shows what a good place it is. I love the regular updates on the app, and they play a range of different games, and the garden is great.

July 29, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Elmfield since he was 12 months old and will be leaving the end of August to start reception. We can honestly say there will be a lump in our throats on his last day as he has loved it so much. It is like a little family as all the staff know the children so well even if they aren’t in their group. The attention to detail is brilliant and both the educational and play elements are combined really well. My son surprises me often with the things he has learned. I would more than recommend this nursery to those thinking about a new setting for their little one.

August 17, 2020 at 12:00 amNursery workers are highly unprofessional. Children are almost never taken outdoors. In addition to that, they keep on losing private equipment or just do not return it. Overpaid fees for unusable sessions aren’t refunded.

August 20, 2020 at 12:00 amA lovely nursery. Our daughter sadly leaves this week. Returning after lockdown was a challenge for her but the staff have been brilliant in working with her and us to address issues and make sure she’s happy at nursery. You can tell how much the whole team love and care for the children. A home from home and recommended.

December 8, 2021 at 12:00 amSuch a fantastic nursery, the teachers are very caring and patient. My child’s keyworker has been a vital part of my daughter’s development and the support from the nursery is great and I always feel comfortable leaving my daughter at Elmfield Nursery. She skips in to see them and always leaves with a smile on her face.

July 12, 2022 at 12:00 amThis is a fantastic nursery. Both my daughters have gone to Elmfield and absolutely love it. My youngest who is still there is so excited every morning to go. I find the staff outstanding, nothing is too much of an issue. My girls have grown and developed there and we have had such fantastic support from the Nursery over the years. It has recently been done out and is absolutely lovely. I could not recommend this nursery enough.
