August 5, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Alton School Nursery for 3 and a half years and has loved every minute. All the staff, from Nest to Red Kites are absolutely wonderful.
They have dealt with his allergies brilliantly since he was a baby.
The outdoor space available to the children is unlike any childcare setting I have seen.
There is a strong attention to education giving the children a chance to begin school learning from a young age.
My son has flourished while there developing great relationships and a great view of the world.
They have been fantastic throughout, especially during the pandemic and I would highly recommend the nursery to any parent.

August 5, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Alton School Nursery since she was 10 months old and I absolutely cannot fault it! It’s such a wonderful place and I’ve loved seeing her grow! The facilities are second to none and all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Thank you for everything.

August 5, 2021 at 12:00 amOur experience of Alton School Nursery has been wonderful. Our son transferred from another nursery when his older brother started at school. When he first started our son was nervous to be in a new setting, he was shown love and compassion until he had settled in. All the staff have been wonderful with him, treating him as an individual and adapting their care to his ability and interests. They provided excellent support through lockdown 1 and a safe learning environment through lockdown 3. The facilities are great, there’s loads of outdoor space and access to some of the school (eg activities in the sports hall on rainy days) which you might not get elsewhere.
I was really sad to be leaving our old nursery but it was absolutely the right choice, we love it at Alton!

August 5, 2021 at 12:00 amThis is such a wonderful nursery, it has been so nurturing for all three of our children. The staff care so much about the children and have forged great relationships with them and with us as parents also.
The nursery and school share fantastic grounds with woodland and so much scope for varied play, it has always been clear what a positive impact this outdoor space has on the children with their learning and enjoyment.
It is also very clear to see the progress the children make in development throughout their time at The Alton School Nursery.

August 5, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my daughter and son attended from the age of around 9 months until ages 4. They loved their time at the nursery and the staff are wonderful, fun, engaging and thoughtful to not only the children but the parents too. My eldest was incredibly well prepared for school being ahead of her peers in relation to phonics and maths and also having learnt some Spanish. My youngest is about to start school and has been encouraged so well around his speech which was a little late developing. I would highly recommend the nursery for their care and professionalism in providing my children with a great start in their education.

August 9, 2021 at 12:00 amBrilliant! Absolutely cannot fault the nursery. All 3 of my children have attended here (and one still does!). They have all loved it and flourished as individuals. The space the children have access to in the gardens, play grounds and orchards is amazing. The staff are all so caring and professional and the pre-school room really preps them well for school education.

August 10, 2021 at 12:00 amThe nursery at Alton School is fantastic; I cannot praise it highly enough. It provides a nurturing, supportive setting where the children play, grows and learn. My son loves his time there and is always happy to go (as was my daughter when she attended). The staff are beyond amazing and have great relationships with the children and parents. My son loves nothing more than to be outdoors and he is always talking about the walks in the woods. The school has beautiful grounds and extensive woodland for the children to explore. I would definitely recommend the nursery here to perspective parents.

August 18, 2021 at 12:00 amWe are so pleased we chose Alton School Nursery. Our daughter joined at 11 months old and we are amazed daily at the progress she is making both in her development and her confidence, she is so excited to attend every day with a big smile! The staff are all so caring and attentive, our daughter’s allergy is no problem at all, and they have adopted her routine perfectly. In addition to this, the nursery is situated within the most beautiful setting, making it such a lovely place to learn and play.

November 9, 2021 at 12:00 amAlton School has given our daughter a home away from home, with outstanding teachers, facilities, and a schedule that works for us as working parents. Their communication via the app with videos and photos provides us a nice connection to frame dinner conversation with our toddler, and she loves telling us about what she was doing and who is in every photograph. I feel secure with their teaching of independent skills, cross-cultural learning, and a healthy love of the outdoors. All in all, we cherish our spot at Alton School. We cherish the staff, and all the friends made through this community. Hope to welcome you and your little to our little parent group too!

November 16, 2021 at 12:00 amAlton School Nursery have taken great care of my 2 children, with the youngest now in preschool. I feel incredibly happy with the quality and care of each team member supporting them. The staff are open, honest and fun with tremendous dedication to all the children’s welfare and education with a creative and warm approach. I recommend the nursery team to anyone considering sending their child to a safe, warm, and encouraging educational setting.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Alton School Nursery since nine months old, and I cannot fault the dedication to the children and their needs. The whole team are great. The attentiveness of the staff is second to none. The variety of daily activities on offer as well as the intimate class numbers aids the development of the children. A very organised set up with friendly staff. I would not hesitate to recommend.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have attended this nursery, and I have nothing but positive feedback. We did try another nursery for a period which was a bit closer to home, but the difference was huge, and we returned to Alton Nursery with our youngest. As a mother of a child with an allergy, it is really important to me that I have trust in each and every one of the staff, and they are very reassuring. I love that the children get outside every day and have lots of space and different environments to explore. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to any prospective parents.
The only improvement I could see is if they were to consider offering the full 30 hours of funding for three-year-olds.
