September 16, 2020 at 12:00 amMy child has attended Castle Hill day nursery since July and he is loving it. He started when he was 1 years old and did struggle a bit at first but with the support from the nursery staff my child now loves going to nursery and has come home with some wonderful artwork. I also get daily updates about what my child has eaten and done that day so I can share it with family members. Overall it’s a very home from home setting and a lovely outdoor area in which my child loves to explore in a very safe environment.

September 17, 2020 at 12:00 amCastle Hill Day Nursery has an amazing team who put fun at the heart of everything they do.
The team are amazing, building relationships with both child and parent very quickly to ensure that you as a parent feel happy about the care your child is receiving and that your child looks forward to seeing them every day. My son was full time for 3 years until he started infant school and I still use the nursery for school holidays. The nursery is divided into 3 key areas all ensuring they nurture each child to bring out their confidence, sense of exploration and curiosity, the team update daily on your child’s day and the books you get at the end of their time in each group are fantastic and show the journey your child has been on from baby room through to pre-school. The team ensure there is lots of outdoor fun and regularly take the children on adventures and the outdoor facilities cater for every child encouraging sharing and group play.
The teamwork hard to make life as a working parent easier.

September 17, 2020 at 12:00 amCastle Hill is a gorgeous learning environment. Staff are delightful, professional, caring, and seem to have a genuine affection for the children in their care. Kids spend lots of time outdoors and do a wide range of exciting and stimulating activities.
Staff were very accommodating with my preference for using cloth nappies and reusable wipes and also facilitated potty training really well.
The nursery communicates well with parents and is flexible with individual requirements.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Castle Hill Day Nursery to any prospective parents.

October 11, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter attends Castle Hill Private Day Nursery and I find the nursery really well organised. The staff are brilliant with the kids and really friendly. My daughter’s speech came on a lot when she first started and she enjoys interacting with other children, she has friends at nursery and is always telling me what she’s done and who she’s played with when she comes home. I find they have a lot of activities for the kids and I couldn’t recommend a better nursery. I’m always updated on how she’s done in the day, what she’s eaten and I find that brilliant, even during Covid, I found the nursery managed it really well and we always had an email if someone had a case. I couldn’t recommend this nursery anymore if I tried, it’s amazing for my daughter and I’m glad she attends.

October 11, 2021 at 12:00 amMy child absolutely loves going to nursery. We drop him off and don’t even get a look back. When we collect him he’s always full of beans which shows us he’s had a fabulous day. Since starting at Castle Hill Private Day Nursery, my child’s confidence and speech have come on leaps and bounds. I couldn’t thank them and praise them enough. Excellent team.

October 11, 2021 at 12:00 amAll of the staff at this nursery are wonderful. They are always cheerful and express warm and genuine affection for the children. Our son enjoys his time here and is thriving developmentally. An excellent, caring environment.

August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amFrom the first moment we visited Castle Hill Day Nursery all the staff there were incredibly attentive to our baby, made him feel comfortable straight away took him to have a little play and a wonder about. They clearly explained all the procedures, pricing (which is very reasonable!) and the environment overall made you feel like at home. The nursery ladies are incredible with our little one every single day, they create a safe and fun environment and are fantastic with all the activities, arts and crafts, baking, playing and everything else and we can see how it helps our baby develop. Castle Hill Day Nursery is all you can wish for your little one and more! I couldn’t recommend it enough!

August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amI can not thank the Deputy Manager and all the amazing staff at Castle Hill Day Nursery. My daughter started in September 2021 and it’s amazing to see how far she has come. She always looked forward to going, telling us she loves nursery day. We had issues with trying to get her potty trained, and thanks to the staff, she now uses the toilet regularly. Her speech has improved dramatically and she is no longer that shy little girl anymore. I am sad to see her leave, but I know she will be ok in primary school thanks to all the hard work they put in. Not only my child, but others I have spoken to also have nothing but praise for them. So, thank you all and I can’t wait for my little boy to start with you in January.

August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has had the most amazing time at nursery. He has come on leaps and bounds and he loves every minute. He can’t wait to tell us about his day when he comes home. My son will be attending as he calls it ‘big school’ in September but we will continue to use Castle Hill Day Nursery for after school care as I know he will be happy, safe and well looked after.

August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amExcellent, friendly staff who are always accommodating. Kids really enjoy it. Both kids have learnt from their time at the nursery and were upset to leave to progress to school. Staff are engaging, helpful and caring.

August 10, 2022 at 12:00 amThe Deputy Manager and the girls are amazing with our daughter as they were with my other daughters. She really loves every visit and they are always happy to help and very flexible when it comes to changing things to work around our lives.

August 13, 2022 at 12:00 amIt’s just an amazing nursery, they are very patient and extremely helpful. Me and my partner were struggling with potty training but with the help of the nursery staff it became so much easier. My child loves the gold star/stickers he gets for each potty training day and can’t wait to come home and tell me all about it. Also, my child is so much more outgoing and a social butterfly because of the nursery.

August 16, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son attends Castle Hill nursery, and I can safely say that sending him there was one of the easiest decisions I’ve made. My wife and I had to return to work whilst our baby was around 9 months old, and I’ve never felt an ounce of worry about leaving him with the staff. They are always welcoming, approachable and professional. Their menu for the children is healthy and varied, the playrooms are well equipped, and the location is great for pick-ups and drop-offs. We get a detailed breakdown of his days with them, and we are always kept in the loop if he ever shows any kind of illness. Long story short, 10/10 from us and absolutely recommend Castle Hill nursery.

August 16, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Castle Hill Day Nursery since she was 10 months old and she is now almost 3. She really enjoys going and they cater well for her allergies, always checking with me if she can have something if they are unsure at all.
My daughter is thriving with staff who genuinely care about the children and their learning/play. All the staff go out of their way to have a bond with all the children, not just the ones in their prospective rooms which I think is great!
My child, regardless of her allergies, always has a well-varied menu of meals.
The staff go above and beyond and I 100% recommend them to any prospective parent.

August 17, 2022 at 12:00 amWe love Castle Hill Private Day Nursery! We have been taking our little boy since April 2021 (he had never really played with anyone his own age due to Covid) and we couldn’t be happier with his progress. The support we’ve had from the nursery has been incredible (currently tackling potty training!). Our son comes home so happy after his afternoon at nursery, he’s full of stories from the day he’s had. He enjoys the food at nursery and he genuinely loves each member of staff and that’s also reciprocated. He’s met some lovely children too.
He loves it that much he asks if he can go at the weekends as well! When we drop him off now we don’t get a second look most of the time, he’s so thrilled to get there and see all his friends and all of the nursery staff. If you’re reading this and debating where to send your child I can wholeheartedly recommend this nursery, the level of care is unrivalled and your child will love it!

August 30, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Castle Hill Private Day Nursery since he was 13 months old. He’s now 27 months and is so happy at this nursery. The deputy manager is incredible at her job and absolutely always has the children’s individual needs at the forefront. Even during Covid (summer 2021), she facilitated a settling-in process that allowed me to be present for a couple of short sessions – which immediately put my son at ease. We previously had to leave another local nursery after just one week due to a strict drop-off at the door Covid policy (which he found incredibly upsetting). The care for children was not compromised at Castle Hill during the pandemic and their mental health was safeguarded. During our time so far, we’ve had no serious issues and anything minor had been seen to immediately – which has been very reassuring as a parent. My son runs in each week – never a single tear. He regularly mentions staff by name at home and sings songs that he’s learnt during his time there. Thank you, Castle Hill!

March 10, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy started nursery at Castle Hill six weeks ago and is already settled in and coming home singing me all the new songs he has learnt there. We had tears and questions like ‘Why are you leaving me’ the first couple of times I left him, now he’s trying to open the gate himself and toddling off before even saying goodbye!
Castle Hill feels like a very relaxed and gentle nursery. A few people have told me how old school it is and I was confused at first, but after chatting to other mums I realised it’s because they aren’t texting me every two minutes to tell me what he’s doing and when he’s had a nappy changed, etc. Call me old-fashioned but I’d rather nursery staff were looking after the kids instead of sitting on a phone telling me what they’re doing! I also want to feel comfortable and confident in the fact that when I leave him there I can get on with my own stuff and I know they’d call if they needed to.
Really lovely staff and very happy I went with them.

March 10, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been a Castle Hill Private Day Nursery for two years now and my son started in January 2023.
They both absolutely love it there. My two both love cuddles and sometimes are sad to leave me as they are only in two days a week, however, I know all the staff take the time to make them feel safe and happy and within 2 minutes of me being out of sight they are happily thriving.
All the staff are amazing, so friendly, warm and nurturing.
The manager does a great job and is always so helpful and accommodating. My daughter always talks about her day and all the activities they have been doing. She loves to tell me that she eats all her meals at nursery as she prefers the meals there rather than at home! It’s great to know that my babies are in such safe hands, so we are very grateful to have you on our doorstep.

March 10, 2023 at 12:00 amWe are so impressed with the welcome our daughter has received from all of the friendly, caring staff at Castle Hill Private Day Nursery. She settled very quickly into her new routine which took away all my anxiety about going back to work full-time. Communication is excellent and we love hearing about her day: she enjoys a huge variety of activities, crafts and games and all her meals! We would highly recommend to any parent.
