February 7, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth of my children attend Nursery Days and I could not be more impressed with the staff and environment they provide. My boys love going and I feel assured that they have the best care. The facilities are exceptional, especially the forestry element.

February 19, 2022 at 12:00 amNursery Days is such an amazing setting, my now seven year old used to attend and I didn’t even consider anywhere else for my one year old. In the time between it has had a full refurbishment and is now even better! The staff are lovely, he literally cannot wait to get inside when he sees them in the morning. Photos are posted daily on the secure online account so I can see exactly what he gets up to during the day and it shows how happy he is. He loves his little adventures to the orchard in the buggy especially.
The nursery itself is in a lovely old building which has a few rooms giving it a home from home feel. You’re kept updated with information via social media and the online platform, meaning you can ask questions and get responses really quickly. I have never had any issues with anything, but am confident the room leaders and managers would deal with anything swiftly and professionally if I did.
There literally isn’t one thing I would say I would change about Nursery Days.

February 21, 2022 at 12:00 amNursery Days has been amazing for my son who has been attending since he was 8 months old. The facilities are excellent, especially the outside areas, including trips to the orchard and local outside areas. The staff are always friendly and very caring, encouraging the children’s learning and development.

April 13, 2022 at 12:00 amAll the staff at Nursery Days have been so patient when settling my little one. We got there in the end, all thanks to the special bond they made with him. He gets to have messy play, enjoy tasty food and explore the garden or local park/orchard regularly – which you just don’t get in every nursery! I couldn’t recommend the nursery more.

April 13, 2022 at 12:00 amNursery Days are fantastic, my daughter loves going there! She loves all the staff and has a great relationship with her key worker! She loves going to the orchard and really loves messy play, but most especially she loves the food and cooking club!

June 12, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to Nursery Days since November 2019. He settled very well, and we are always given updates on his day and development. Staff are very approachable and friendly. I will highly recommend.

June 12, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son goes to Nursery Days, and it’s great. He’s so happy there, and I couldn’t ask for any more from the staff. Very approachable, and the children are their first priority. The children visit the orchard daily, exploring and learning so much whilst being outside, which some nurseries do not have access to. Updates and pictures are posted through the app, which is lovely to see. I will be sending my youngest son to join the nursery soon too. Highly recommend.

June 12, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son joined Nursery Days in 2021 after all of the National lockdowns as we felt he needed more social interaction with other children. This nursery has been brilliant for him, and it has been so lovely to see him develop over his time there. He loves the adults in his room; they are supportive, friendly and caring and know him so well. We have always felt he has been safe and well looked after, and he has access to so many good quality experiences and activities. They also spend so much time learning outside, which he loves, and the children have so much freedom to join in with and do activities they love. He has built lovely relationships with adults and children, and he goes in so happy every time! One of his highlights is the very regular visits to the orchard where he loves to play, especially with the mud kitchen! The nursery also has great communication and is always on hand to support and respond to any questions. Thank you for all of your support for our family and for helping our son

July 22, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been coming to Nursery Days for over a year now, and I rave about it to everyone I meet. I have been a teacher for over a decade and have a Masters’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, and I can say with confidence that this is the only setting I have ever encountered that is run the way an Early Years setting should be run. The children have plenty of outdoor learning opportunities that complement the rural setting including raising ducklings, and chickens trips to the Orchard and other local places of interest; the staff are warm, positive and friendly and were so kind and supportive when I was going through chemotherapy; and most importantly I have always been made to feel that my child was loved, valued as an individual, and was safe and happy whilst in their care. I am going to be very emotional when he finally leaves them this summer to go to “big school” – but I can’t think of a better place for him to have begun his learning journey. Thank you so much!

September 8, 2022 at 12:00 amI really enjoyed reading through your latest newsletter and hearing of your success – congratulations on being announced as one of the top 20 nurseries in the South East – an accolade which you truly deserve. We appreciate everything you do for my child and are very grateful for all the wonderful provisions and opportunities you provide for her and all the children. I used to be an Early Years Foundations Stage key worker in a nursery, so I was really keen to find the right setting for my child, somewhere that complimented her personality and catered for her interests. Other nurseries just don’t compare; after our tour in 2020, we were sold, and two years later we are still so glad we chose Nursery Days for our child. With every month that goes by, we just become more and more impressed with you all! Huge thanks to all the staff for all you do – it is clear you’re all so passionate about our children, and we couldn’t wish for a better place to nurture our child in these precious early years. Thank you!

November 9, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to Nursery Days since he was 11 months and he is now nearly 4. He has been cared for wonderfully by all the staff in each room he has been in. The opportunities he has experienced are incredibly varied, from interacting with various animals, cooking club, yoga and regular outdoor learning. The nursery has worked so hard to improve both its inside and outside environments over the last three years, they really are something to be proud of! My son loves going to the orchard on a daily basis. This area is a real asset to the nursery and has been well developed, encouraging both fine and gross motor skills to be used. I have always been impressed with communication around the progress my son is making and I love the daily tapestry entries. I really wouldn’t send my child anywhere else and my little girl is already signed up to start next year. Thank you Nursery Days!

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amAmazing – perfect. I could not fault this nursery; they are amazing. My little boy has been in this nursery since about two and a half years old, and the girls are brilliant, and I trust them with my child. They are very accommodating too. If I have appointments, they are very good at helping get my child in for the time that is required. Also, I want to say that they are amazing and comforting. My son gets very upset with certain things, and they handle him amazingly and have been extremely hard-working to make sure he doesn’t get upset. I would a million per cent recommend this nursery to anyone, as the girls are all hard-working/kind ladies and are very quick to help with any questions or concerns I have – excellent communication – everything is brilliant.

November 16, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little one has been in nursery since he was 18 months and is now 3 years old. He loves attending nursery which speaks volumes to me as a parent, he looks forward to going into nursery to see his friends and loves his teachers. This year in September my child has moved into the pre-school. Since being in pre-school my child is becoming more confident with building new relationships among his peers. He values his time with his key worker and teachers, and we appreciate the support they offer with learning. His ability with speech and language is improving and nursery pick up on areas that children need some extra help with learning which is invaluable when preparing them for reception at primary school. Nursery is not just supportive of every child but also the parents too, offering support and advice. At the open day when choosing a nursery, I knew Nursery Days was a great environment for my child, I am pleased we didnt choose anywhere else.

March 2, 2023 at 12:00 amWe relocated to the area in February 2021 and after doing extensive research on nurseries we decided to send our son and daughter to Nursery Days. We chose them as the staff were so helpful with all of the questions we had, we loved the outdoor elements they offered and that they were located in a small village. Nursery Days was definitely the right choice, the children settled in very quickly and the days spent there are always so varied! The orchard and outdoor play areas are a huge highlight for them, they love playing in the mud kitchen especially! Our Son has now gone off to school and they really helped with this transition, the school readiness that they provided was second to none. Our daughter will be leaving for school this September and we will all be hugely sad to leave them.
If you are looking for a nursery in the area then Nursery Days is the one!

March 2, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter started nursery in September, doing two full days a week. We have been nothing but impressed with the care and education provided to her so far. We love that the nursery has its own orchard, as these outdoor activities are very beneficial and fun for the children’s development.
We also love that the children’s progress is documented on Tapestry and they get a focus week where feedback is shared with us. It’s lovely to see their progress!

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amNursery days has really brought our son out of his shell. He absolutely loves going to nursery and having the best time with all his teachers and peers. Trips to the orchard, cooking club, reading, drawing, the list goes on. Special shout out to one staff member who goes above and beyond to ensure my son and all the children have a happy, fun and educational day every day. She is outstanding.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amNursery Days provide a safe, loving and creative environment for my son. Each week there are fun new activities which help the children to grow and learn. The children get to spend so much time outdoors and they even have the facilities for local day trips, providing such an enriched experience.
My son is so happy at Nursery Days. All of the team are amazing, they really are fantastic at their jobs. I always feel well-informed about what my son has been doing, and how he is developing. Early years education is so important and I have complete trust in the team to provide the very best care for my son.

April 24, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son thoroughly enjoys his time at Nursery Days. He is always enjoying new and exciting experiences. His confidence has grown, he has made lovely friendships, the staff are caring and attentive and continues to grow and learn under their supervision. I would happily recommend Nursery Days to other parents, especially those that want their children to enjoy the outdoors and nature.

April 30, 2023 at 12:00 amAll three of my children have gone here and feel it’s a great start to their lives. They all love to got to the nursery, and we find they learn so much. From a personal point of view, I like the fact that there is so much outdoor activity and going to the orchard is a highlight of their day.

July 5, 2023 at 12:00 amI couldn’t rate Nursery Days more highly. My daughter absolutely loves coming every Wednesday, so much she doesn’t even say bye to Daddy anymore. The key worker is amazing, always having my daughter’s best interest at heart and great at communicating with me and updating me on her progress. I do recommend to all my friends with children to come here. Love the fact that the children get taken down to the orchard or out on different day trips.
