Cedar Park Day Nursery (Twyford)

I’d have no hesitation recommending Cedar Park Day Nursery! Our young lad has was enrolled at Cedar Park Day Nursery for the preceding year (he’s now 26 months old) and he absolutely treasures it there. He has some dietary needs and we have been really impressed with how Cedar Park manages this, making sure he still has a extremely varied and nutritious diet and doesn’t miss out on anything compared to the other kids. The room is bright and airy and they spend a lot of time outdoors which we enjoy (and he adores). We cherish all the carers in his room, and the reception/office team are great too, always greeting my boy personally when we arrive. There is such a great garden area, he adores his time outdoors. The personnel are so caring and focused on the kids, he is extremely thrilled every day that we drop him off and is always smiling when I pick him up.

Thank you so much to all the crew, you do a wonderful job, always welcoming and professional. I first looked at Cedar Park Day Nursery (Twyford) as a friend had recommended there. He absolutely enjoys it there and we, as a family, are so pleased with the support and attention given to him. I was so impressed on my initial visit, my boy started there at 15 months old. The contact and feedback on his growth are fantastic. We also really value the healthy food choices and feel so pleased with our decision to send our little one there.

Children are well looked after with a good choice of food and activities. Children have a great time at the early‑years hub. Good level of contact. Quality of attention does vary with key workers but in general all excellent.

Otherwise, this is the best you will find locally. Some things to be aware of: start dates and days of the week for part time can be difficult to accommodate. Smaller settings might not need to do this, so just be aware of that if your little one doesn’t deal well with change. Think they used to have forest school leaders but not now. We looked at lots of other local nurseries and this setting is the most expensive but worth it for quality, especially if you need the wrap around hours / all year round. Whilst settling in sessions are offered, some kids find this disruption unsettling as they readjust, it’s like going to a new early‑years hub for them. Also, they change the groupings/rooming and team teams for a new school year. Our young lady has thrived. Our kid has been at the childcare centre for 18 months and we are exceptionally pleased with the setting. The attention, absorbing, resources, environment and personnel are excellent.

She has really blossomed in pre-school and she will miss Cedar Park truly much when she moves to reception in September but she’s delighted that her baby brother will be starting so she can come back to say hello! My young lady has enjoyed her time at Cedar Park Day Nursery – the adults are all wonderful and she extremely much feels welcomed here as do I.

The garden space is brilliant and the kids are taken outdoors as much as possible. The food is great and the crew are all so cordial and welcoming. My young lady is continually developing and exploring new abilities and I credit much of her headway to the support, attention and stimulation she receives at early‑years hub. She usually runs into nursery setting with an excited skip and a smiling face which is incredibly comforting as a parent working full time. The personnel are always coming up with inventive and interesting things to keep the little ones entertained and help them explore the world. My little one is exceptionally thrilled at Cedar Park Day Nursery.

My girl adores the early‑years hub. Great nutrition and meal options for allergies too. Good help and feedback to parents. The personnel are extremely caring and focus on emotional well-being as well as kid exploring. I’d definitely suggest it.

The fact that Cedar Park Day Nursery has a long waiting list and pretty much a September-only intake is testament to what an superb nursery setting it is. I could not give more glowing reviews about the nursery setting – I only wish it made use of the benefits scheme. I waited over a year to get my young lad a place and I’m delighted with the early‑years hub. The crew are warm and professional and even on days when my little one has a temperature, it is handled calmly and professionally (a exceptionally different period to his previous nursery setting).

My young lady really enjoys her time at childcare centre, we, as parents, can feel confident she is being well looked after and is being supported with her growth. Baby number two is already on the waiting list! My young lady has joined for over a year now, there are no negative comments I can make – we think Cedar Park Day Nursery is brilliant and the team are excellent.

I also like their green ethos and how much they value outdoor activities, no matter the weather. With two kids, we are approaching five years at Cedar Park Day Nursery with one more year left to go. With many crew, an assigned key worker and the level of safeguarding in place – I felt a early‑years hub was a better/safer option and Cedar Park was a stellar option. With childminders, there’s the added concern of their own sick days, holidays and also – how do they behave if they’re having a bad day? With pleased faces at pick-up and details about what they had done that day, there’s no question of the benefits. We have been exceedingly delighted with the level of support at Cedar Park, the many engaging activities for the kids and the important social abilities the little ones develop with their peers and adults. I only wish they could re-open the proper forest school. Is that one person a good role model? I certainly felt mother’s guilt during many drop-offs, but was reminded each day of how much they get out of it.
