    The staff at Storytimes create a welcoming environment, which always leaves me confident and happy to leave my son there. I love receiving updates including pictures and videos of what my son is doing during his time at the nursery. He is always learning and developing during his time at nursery and is always excited to go. The staff are always friendly and professional and always ensure they give a thorough handover at pick up time. The activities are always varied, and you can see the staff put a lot of effort into planning the activities. Thank you so much for working so hard, especially during these unprecedented times.

    My daughter enjoys going to Storytimes nursery. She was nervous and worried when she first started but soon settled, and now tells me she has had a “great” morning. She has formed good relationships with the staff and talks to them confidently sharing all her news with them. Covid has prevented parents from going into the nursery, but the staff have tried hard to compensate for this, for example recording the Christmas Nativity play so parents could still watch it.
    I chose this nursery based on the bright, spacious environment and resources that were available and on personal recommendations from other parents I knew that had children attending Storytimes. The staff invite parents to share their knowledge about their children’s interests and likes to help them get to know the children and help them to plan relevant activities.
    I feel happy each morning knowing my daughter is happy going into nursery.

    I can’t rate Storytimes nursery highly enough. My daughter has attended for the past 2-years moving from the baby room, through to teenies, and is now in the toddler room. In every room, the staff have provided outstanding care with really well thought out activities and experiences.

    It’s clear the team put a lot of thought and effort into making every day an exciting learning experience for the children.

    The communication from the nursery is fantastic, and it’s great to be able to see my daughters progress on the learning book app.

    My daughter has built a lovely, really strong bond with the team that look after her, and I trust them implicitly with her care and development.

    Both my children come to Storytimes, and they both are so excited to arrive in the morning, and all the girls are so welcoming!
    During the pandemic, they have put great procedures in place, which meant we all felt safe attending nursery
    Would, and do, recommend it to all my friends and family!

    My two granddaughters have attended this nursery from being nine months old, and what can I say! The love and care the nursery practitioners provide are absolutely amazing! My grandaughters are now 4 and 15 months and have the most wonderful time and love to attend! Thank you so much to all the staff and management team for taking excellent care of my grandbabies! Highly recommend.

    As our grandson leaves your nursery to start primary school, I cannot let him go without thanking each member of your staff who has cared for him over the last few years.
    Along with his parents, you have given him such a great start in life in terms of development and confidence.
    All of this is priceless, and we appreciate your time with him so much.
    We hope this review makes you all feel appreciated too!

    Both of my nephews have gone to this nursery over the last few years. One left to start his permanent preschool, where he will stay in school, and my other nephew is still there in preschool.
    The staff are absolutely great and very helpful. Both boys have loved every minute of it there. They do so much with them and have great facilities and things for them to enjoy. Thank you, Storytime, for looking after our boys.

    My child really enjoys attending Storytime’s holiday club; he has great relationships with the staff, who are always happy and welcoming during arrival and collection times. The nursery has such a great space indoors and outdoors, offering a wide range of activities. The meals which are provided at the cost are fantastic; there is a wide range of healthy snacks provided which my child enjoys.

    My daughter loves nursery; she has learned and developed so much since starting last November.
    Always happy and smiling when I pick her up.
    Thanks to all the staff for their care and love for her and others; you do an incredible job!

    My child has started going to this nursery and doing settling-in sessions, and he has already bonded so well with the baby staff and enjoyed every session he’s been to. The staff are so lovely and welcoming as well as informative on collections. I’m very happy with this.

    My grandson has been going here since he was a baby. He loves going; he does lots of fun activities. When I’ve seen him there, he’s always happy, and the staff are very friendly.

    My son is 26 months and has been attending Storytimes for three days a week since he was seven months old. He absolutely loves coming to nursery, and even on the days he isn’t in, he asks “Go to nursery?” My son adores all of the staff, who are fantastic, and look after the children as if they’re their own. They plan lots of fun and amazing activities and have introduced a book and song of the week, which my son loves – there are also optional home-learning ideas to do as well. My son accesses the outdoor area each day and takes part in an exercise class called “Stretch and Grow” each week. I love seeing all the photos of the things he gets up to via an app, which gets updated each week. Huge thanks to all the staff who do their very best and go above and beyond to make my son happy! It’s much appreciated!

    Our family have had the pleasure of being a part of this wonderful nursery and preschool for four years, and this beautiful setting has provided a great start for our children. The amazing set-up in each room using natural resources and such creativity by the wonderful staff brings the environment such warmth for the children who attend.
    The children have encountered so many amazing activities along their early year’s journey that has helped build on their fine and gross motor skills. This has been a memorable experience for our children, especially as they transition to the next educational stage of the curriculum. We are forever grateful for the staff who have assisted the children in being the best version of themselves.

    My son has been going to Storytimes since he was 18 months old; he is almost four. The connection he has built with the girls who look after him is absolutely incredible. For him to come home and say he’s had a good day and named his key worker(s) is a great feeling. It’s tough for a parent to leave their child with someone, but the staff at the nursery take amazing care of the children. On his first day, I literally dropped him off with strangers, and after 2.5 years, I consider them my friends. All the nursery staff are so friendly and welcoming and do a fantastic job of taking care of my son. From helping to potty train to encouraging his speech, they have been amazing. I wouldn’t even consider another nursery, and I would highly recommend Storytimes to my friends. My son gets excited every morning for nursery and cannot wait to see all his friends. Best nursery around, well done to all the team; you’re all doing a great job

    Wow – well, what can I say about Storytimes?
    I have had the pleasure to have both my children, who are currently four and two grow up here from the age of six months.
    It’s an extremely daunting time when you first send your children to be looked after by people you don’t know, but the second you walk in, you are instantly put at ease.
    The relationships my children have developed with their key workers and teachers are only anything I can dream of as a mother, and to have people treat your children like their own is everything we could ever ask for.
    It’s my children’s second home, and I couldn’t ask for a more perfect environment.

    My boy has been attending Storytimes since he was seven months old. The environment is amazing, so warm, stimulating and very inviting. The key worker system in place is fantastic, and he has such a special bond with his key worker. They use an online app where I receive his learning journey through observations with photo and video evidence. They implement his interests from home with his learning at nursery. They take him out on many walks and give him many experiences outdoors in the community. The manager of the nursery is extremely approachable and always on hand with any queries and is always happy from start to finish of the day. I am extremely happy with his progression so far in the nursery.

    Since my daughter started in January, being my first child and very nervous sending her, I have felt nothing but reassured since she started at Storytimes. The staff are amazing! Her key worker always takes the time to go out of her way to update both myself and my partner on her progress and include activities that my daughter has a lot of interest in. The baby classroom has so much for the children to do and is full of age-appropriate toys. The app to look at your child’s progress is great, although it’s slightly delayed, so sometimes don’t always see what they have done that day as it’s not in real-time. I would fully recommend Storytime to any parent looking for childcare.

    Both my daughters attend Storytimes and love going to nursery. The staff are lovely and friendly, and my daughters have a good relationship with them.
    My eldest daughter leaves for school this year, and I know she will miss going to nursery, especially the staff in the preschool room.
    My youngest is in the baby room, and the staff have done an excellent job of helping her to settle into the nursery.

    My child has been coming to this nursery for a year and a half, and it’s absolutely fantastic.
    He enjoys all the food (sometimes with reports of three helpings!), and he always enjoys going and shouts “YAY!” when we pull up in the car park. The staff are so lovely and caring. I’ve never once had any concerns about the quality of care he receives here.
    The activities are educational and varied, and the rooms are well structured (special mentions to the ladies who had managed the rooms he has been in). The activities are always different too, and I don’t recall them doing the same thing over. The gardens are great spaces, and they are fantastic in their suncream application. The staff are all fantastic and a credit to the company. They really treat the kids as individuals with different requirements, and it’s not just a one size fits all approach. Can’t wait to see how my son develops during the rest of his time here!
