    This is the first childcare centre he’s gone to and our first baby. From the minute I have been in contact with Springs they have put my mind at ease. My little one loves going and has developed more than I could ever imagine! The most incredible place for my little boy to go.

    She has settled in so quickly and adores all the team. She has grown in self‑assurance since she started. The team are exceptional with highly great updates with the families to ensure we know what she’s been up to. Would highly suggest it to anyone. Our daughter absolutely loves going.

    We’ve used it for both out of school club and holiday club. Food is nutritious and the kids like it. The team are truly welcoming and clearly delight in being around kids. Management are truly supportive and appreciate that life changes quickly in the military! My kids have loved Spring.

    The team members at the childcare centre are all highly lovely. They are patient and attentive towards my son who consistently has a fantastic time and gets excited about seeing the team members in his room. They are highly accommodating of his diet restrictions and skin condition. They take the time to update me on my son’s behaviour, activities through the day and his accomplishments. The manager and office team are welcoming and willing to help in any way they can. Overall, it is a remarkable setting with fantastic team members. The childcare centre is fantastic, colourful and full of delight.

    Her speech has come on so much in such a short space of time. My kid loves being there and I know she is truly well cared for. Wouldn’t hesitate to suggest. All of the team are incredible, they regularly provide updates on my kid and are truly encouraging her and helping her massively towards her development.

    Her speech is coming on so well and she has made a remarkable group of friends, adults included. We are so pleased with how much our daughter has progressed in the last 18 months that she has been at the childcare centre.

    We use the breakfast club and after-school club and my two kids truly delight in it there. The team are welcoming and supportive and they are quick to respond to messages in the app and by email. The manager is also truly flexible. The team are exceptional!

    The team are fantastic, and she’s come on in leaps and bounds in the short time she has been attending. Would happily suggest this setting to anyone Our daughter started childcare centre in September and is highly cheerful here and settled highly quickly.

    Our youngest in explorers have gained self‑assurance and capability and loves going into the childcare centre. Our eldest two who attend the out-of-school clubs both have a excellent time and are consistently excited to attend. The team are welcoming, attentive and highly supportive. It truly is a welcoming setting where kids and team appear to thrive. Thank you to all the team. Spring Benson has been fabulous with all three of our sons.

    Our son started in the ‘middle’ room from age 2; he is highly quiet and shy, but he has come on leaps and bounds with the attentive care and attention the lovely team provide. Seeing him be close with other adults that aren’t family members is absolutely incredible. We couldn’t ask for a better setting or such fantastic team for our kids to have gotten a start to their school years. We will miss them all highly much. We have had both of our kids at Spring RAF Benson, our eldest, who is now in reception, absolutely loved going to the pre-school room, which I think she secretly misses!

    The ladies in Spitfire made us sense so welcome at the settling in sessions that when it came to the first day, she was cheerful to leave me, and I felt cheerful knowing she was in great hands.
    She absolutely loves going everyday, she adores one lady and all the team. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for her to start her school journey! My daughter started in the pre-school room in September, it was an anxious time for her and for me.

    She was truly excited to go to school until she was off ill for some time. On her return, it was exceptionally difficult to get her settled back in, and this was heartbreaking for us. The Manager got involved and contacted the relevant people and sorted out a care plan for our little one, including a folder with pictures and names of all the team that would normally involve in her care. I would say this partly helped our daughter together with how the team look after her in which we are highly cheerful, as our little one has been so excited to go to school now. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre setting to RAF Benson and other families. My daughter who has special needs started Spring Childcare centre in September 2020.

    Team are welcoming and attentive, meaning the setting is an enjoyable one for the kids to be in. The before and after school care is exceptional; the breakfast and tea fuels them for the day and keeps them going.

    The ladies that look after him in spitfires are so nice and I sense so comfortable on drop off that he is going to have another excellent day with them. They truly take time to get to know each of their little personalities and on pick up, we get a lovely handover and little tales of their day. The app that they use to let us know about their day, their developmental and wow moments truly cheers me up. We can see everything they’ve eaten and I delight in showing my son the photos they’ve uploaded from the day so he can tell me more about it. He has nothing but great things to say when he comes home. He has come on leaps and bounds, his self‑assurance has greatly increased since attending this childcare centre, I believe strongly this is to do with the team looking after him. Thank you for attentive for them like you do. I have recently changed my kid from another childcare centre to Spring Childcare centre, initially for ease but now I am so cheerful with the move, I wish I’d started him here from the beginning.

    He didn’t want to go, to begin with, and it was a real struggle getting him there but now he can’t get enough of it and would happily go on weekends if it was open! He consistently comes out so cheerful telling me who he has been playing with and what he’s been up to and never stops singing! When he started I was worried about him having lunch there as he can be fussy and was rather shocked to hear he had two helpings of fish pie one week! I’m looking forward to seeing how my little one progresses over the next year. My 3-year-old son started in September, and I am so pleased with how well he has come on.

    The team are highly supportive, communicate well, and most importantly, have excelled in providing her with a secure and enjoyable space to grow and develop.
    She partakes in lots of activities and consistently look forward to going to Springs. A remarkable childcare centre for our daughter, who has been attending for over 18-months.

    She’s learned so much and we get lots of regular updates on her development.
    She has made lots of friends and has begun saying so many new words. She also comes home with different sign language actions to show me what she is after. My daughter loves going to childcare centre, she is highly reserved but since going has truly warmed up.

    The team are fantastic, so attentive, welcoming and consistently take the time to talk and update you on how your kid is doing. My son loves it here, and it’s incredible how much he has come on and learned since he went back fulltime after lockdown. I highly suggest sending your kid here. I first viewed the childcare centre when my son was 3-months-old and knew highly quickly that this was the place I wanted him to go when I went back to work.

    My son adores his key worker and all of the other team that looks after him as they are exceptionally patient and attentive with him. I am kept well informed about his day and his progression and adore to see how excited he is to tell me all about what he’s been up to at the end of the day. I highly suggest Spring Childcare centre at RAF Benson, the team and facilities are excellent and we sense lucky to have them as our local childcare centre. Spring is a remarkable childcare centre, all of the team (From management, chefs and key workers) make an effort to form relationships with parents and kids which is lovely.

    In that time we have seen him flourish both mentally and physically due to the fantastic team who look after him.
    Our son has additional hearing needs and the team have been so positive and attentive, discovering how to use his aids and making adjustments to the playroom to make things easier for him. The team have gone above and beyond in making sure we all sense comfortable.
    We receive regular updates on our sons’ development and general observations that have been made and how they will be encouraged over the coming weeks. The day is filled with enjoyable games and activities designed to develop and expand minds.
    A lovely childcare centre. Our son has attended Spring RAF Benson for the past 6 months.
