Poppies Day Nursery

Our first child has been attending Poppies since he was 18 months old and he is now 4 and is in the pre-school class. Our second child has attended since he was 16 months old and he is now 2. Both our boys absolutely love Poppies and have done since day one. The staff are fantastic and both boys have formed a lovely bond with particular members of staff as well as friendships with other children. Poppies provide a good variety of activities for the children to include messy and sensory play along with more educational activities. Most recently the pre-school children have been learning about road safety. We get weekly updates on what the children have been doing that week as well as regular individual updates specific to our children and how they are getting on. I would not hesitate to recommend Poppies. I know our first child will be upset to leave next year when he starts reception!

I have two daughters attending since they turned 12 months old. My eldest is now 4 and attending the preschool while my youngest is 18 months. They both settled in amazingly well and are excited to go in each day to see their friends and key workers and take part in all the activities. Forest school has been a particular hit. The staff at Poppies are lovely and professional. They have always tried to accommodate any changes in our schedules which has been very helpful. I would recommend Poppies nursery to everyone.

I have only had great experiences with Poppies Day Nursery and would highly recommend it. My child started there about a year ago and the staff were really helpful when settling him into his new nursery. We were at another nursery before this and the difference we have seen between the two is huge. Poppies are so caring, everyone makes the effort to speak to you and update you on things, the nursery environment is fantastic with so many things to do for the children and the food menu has so many different types of food.

The staff also take the kids out on local trips and have involved the parents as much as possible through Covid restrictions. Finding a nursery is not an easy process and my child was very clingy and did not like the change at first, but Poppies really helped us through this process and would call me with updates in case I was feeling worried or nervous, but there was no need to ever worry as now he runs in happier than ever!

I was worried how my daughter at 2 would settle when I started back at work full time but she absolutely loves it and even asks to go at weekends. The staff are amazing and you can see how much they really care for the children. It feels like you are leaving your little one with your family. Thank you all at Poppies Day Nursery.

Our son joined Poppies Day Nursery in December last year and It’s been wonderful to see how he has developed and grown since he started Poppies. He thoroughly enjoys it and can’t wait in the morning to leave the house and get going. All in all a great nursery with fantastic staff!

Our little boy loves his time at Poppies Day Nursery. The staff are friendly, the food is great and the outside space has just been renovated and is lovely. The rooms are spacious and well decorated. He has been there since he was 6-months old and continues to enjoy it.

My daughter started at Poppies Day Nursery when she was 11-months old and we were really happy with how quickly she settled in. She really seems to enjoy nursery and does lots of activities. We receive regular updates and photos, which is great. The staff all have a lovely manner with the children.

Lovely setting with caring staff. My daughter has come on loads with her development in such a short period of time. Loves all the activities and outdoor space. Especially likes the music classes! Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing nursery! Our daughter has attended for just under a year and she has developed so much and come out of her shell thanks to the incredible staff. Every single staff member is lovely and kind. Our daughter actually screams with excitement when we get to the front of school and always has a huge smile in her face when we pick her up. They have a great outdoor space and are a short walk to a large field and a National Park so they get to go exploring often. The food always looks nice and it’s always reported that she’s eaten all of her meals/snacks and sometimes has seconds so it must be good! I could not be happier and we are so incredibly glad we found Poppies and grateful to the beautiful-hearted staff that are there!

I have had two children attend Poppies Day Nursery (one now at school) and the care both have received has been excellent. Both children have thrived there in regard to their developmental and social skills. The staff obviously love what they do and genuinely care. My eldest settled well in Poppies after moving from another setting and though she is the youngest in her school class, Poppies pre-school prepared my eldest for school and I was confident she’d do well (and did). My son has also loved being there and they have supported his eating journey from day one – his speech and number recognition are beyond what I could expect at his age so I’m extremely pleased. I haven’t always agreed with protocols for certain situations and as it’s a small nursery found flexibility for extra hours to be slightly frustrating but on the whole, I would definitely recommend Poppies and am prepared to travel a little further as my youngest has settled so well there.
