Growing Up Green Nursery

We’ve been so happy with Growing Up Green Nursery, they take care of our daughter so well and clearly care very much for her. All of the Aunty’s and Uncles know her name and I really like that it’s not all just ladies working there. Our daughter has thrived over the past 2 years and it’s a huge credit to the lovely staff. She’s made lots of friends and talks about her aunty’s all the time. Someone always has the time to talk to me at pick up and I’ve built a really good relationship with them. It’s the people that make a place a happy place and this is certainly true at Growing Up Green Nursery.

Since our son started at Growing Up Green this year, he is more relaxed and content within himself. His process with speech, play and interaction has improved immensely in just a couple of months. He is happy to go into nursery and also happy after I pick him up. He shows no signs of anxiety and tells me all the things he’s done that day which he loves.
The staff are exceptional and truly care for each child’s needs. My son can’t get enough of the huge garden and eats salmon and mackerel which he wouldn’t eat previously. I can’t fault this nursery, we are extremely happy parents with a very happy little boy who’s coming on leaps and bounds!

My son is in the baby room and absolutely loves it. The room is fab and the aunties are amazing. He is always having fun and loves the food.

We’ve been more than happy with the care both of our children have received at Growing Up Green. The staff are attentive and professional. The menu is imaginative and varied and most importantly my children eat the healthy meals and snacks. The outside space is fantastic, with play areas, a secret garden, bug palace and a small vegetable patch. My children engage in so many fun and educational activities that I would never have the imagination or resources to provide at home. There is a homely, family feel to the place. My children enjoy it and I highly recommend it.

I have two children at GUG, my boy had been at a previous setting where he cried daily and was described as ‘mute’. We moved to the area and tentatively booked him and his sister into GUG. The transformation has been incredible. He’s smiley, chatty and asks to go every day. They have a wonderful array of activities and we get sent photos all the time and daily feedback cards. The ‘aunties’ (I mean how cute is that) are really kind and patient. There’s just so much thought put into everything, even the food is good and interesting for them. It’s been a joy for both kids to come home full of smiles and chatting about their new friends.
GUG is a wonderful place.

My daughter started at Growing Up Green at 15 months old she has been through the baby room, tennis, toddler and she is now in the preschool room. The staff are wonderful and extremely supportive with progressing learning developments. The nursery has taught my daughter how to behave and be kind when playing with others, respect other’s spaces and also supported her with her potty training. I am so grateful that I choose Growing Up Green my daughter has developed extremely well from being a little baby not even able to walk to now fluently speaking English and having the support to push her to be speaking another language. The nursery have encouraged mathematics through play and reading time. This has really driven my daughter to be very interested in stories and learning through play.

I’ve had two kids at Growing Up Green and both have loved it! Having 4 age group classes means the kids are with others their age. The staff go out of their way to make really exciting and engaging activities for the kids, no matter how messy! The staff are the kindest and most hard-working individuals, they have a clear passion for their work and the kids all love them. The space is great, with healthy meals and a lovely garden. They’ve coped with Covid really well too. I couldn’t recommend them more!

We have been very happy to send our child to Growing Up Green Nursery these past three years. He is always willing to go there to see his friends and his ‘aunties’. The activities are varied, educational and he loves going in the garden. An organisation is only as good as the people there and we really have to give a special shout out to four members of staff. They are intelligent, kind and caring. As for the food, it is a lovely varied menu and every single day without fail, he has two lots of everything. He loves it, all thanks to one member of staff. In fact, he says he doesn’t want to go to school and wants to stay at Growing Up Green Nursery.

We have just moved over from Spain and joined our son at this lovely nursery. From day one staff have been so accommodating, helpful and just generally lovely.
My son loves his teachers and thoroughly enjoys his sessions, always asking when he’s next going in!
Thanks so much to everyone at Growing Up Green Nursery for welcoming us in.

Growing up Green was our son’s second nursery setting and we couldn’t have felt more pleased, reassured and positive about his move two years ago. He’s grown up with the nursery, his wonderful key workers and the staff team as a whole. He is always so happy going in and just as happy coming out. We know he has heaps of fun as well as developmental and educational input from his very experienced key workers every day that he attends. Communication is great between us and the nursery which definitely helps. They are compassionate, helpful, skilled and very knowledgable. Let alone dedicated and hard-working throughout the pandemic! We are so grateful to all the staff team, especially his amazing key workers!
