October 9, 2020 at 12:00 amOur son loves going to Early Birds. The staff have been amazing over lockdown and have done a great job of getting back to the new normal. There is a really calm atmosphere led by the staff. The outdoor learning is great, even in the rain! Also, the app makes it really easy to communicate and see how they are making progress. I would highly recommend to anyone.

October 27, 2020 at 12:00 amI have been really impressed with the nursery we choose for our little one, from the start we have been really happy and since the manager has started the nursery has gone from strength to strength.
Our little one has got so much out of her time here and continues to grow. The support all the staff at Early Birds have shown has been amazing and the confidence our little one is gaining whilst there is down to all their hard work.
Thank you.

February 10, 2021 at 12:00 amSuch an amazing team who helped my 1-year-old settle in very quickly and happily. Any questions or worries I had/have are always met with kindness and advice from both management and team members.
The space itself is lovely and boasts lots of exploring opportunities for the children. I must also add how safe we have felt (with current circumstances) through this setting’s exceptional response to guidelines and requirements as well as their updates to keep us all informed.
Overall, this setting has been the perfect find for me and little one. I have and will continue to recommend to family and friends.

February 10, 2021 at 12:00 amOur child has been attending Early birds for 4 months now and seen a hugely positive development in him. His speech, social interaction and learning has been fabulous. So happy and glad we have chosen Early Birds for our son as we love the close interaction with us as parents and his fondness for all the ladies and other children there is wonderful to see.

February 10, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter attends Early Birds Nursery and I couldn’t be more at ease. She always bounces out of the door at the end of her session, armed with artwork! She’s not the most confident being away from us but she’s always put at ease, and feels close to her key workers that she can have cuddles if upset which is a huge relief! Very friendly staff, a safe and relaxed environment and I can see her confidence grow. Would highly recommend!

February 10, 2021 at 12:00 amI can’t recommend Early Birds Nursery enough. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. My son joined in September and I worried about him settling as he was moving from somewhere that he loved but I didn’t need to worry. He settled in so quickly because of the staff and his key worker. He gets to learn in the way that suits him best which is generally outside and messy. He comes home talking about the things he has done and can’t wait to go back the next day. I have been singing your praises and recommending you to friends.

May 13, 2021 at 12:00 amA lovely nursery, friendly and fun! My child runs in happily and doesn’t even stop to say goodbye to me, what more could I want! Staff keep me updated on anything I need to know daily and any questions from me are always answered promptly.

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amWe are so grateful to have found Early Birds Nursery. Our son has settled in so well which was a real concern as he has only been with us, since being born in May which was in the middle of lockdown. The manager, another particular member of staff and the team are so reassuring and have been brilliant in getting him settled into a routine and getting him down for naps. Having been only fed to sleep for eleven months that was a real worry for me but he’s been totally fine! The updates throughout the day are brilliant and even though we still have a few tears on drop off, I know that he’ll be happy after a cuddle and some books. One member of staff in particular sends us an update in the morning and he always looks happy and we can see he’s getting more confident with every session. We honestly couldn’t be more pleased. The team are so warm and caring to the children, I’d recommend Early Birds Nursery in a heartbeat.

May 20, 2021 at 12:00 amMy 20-month-old little boy started at Early Birds in April and although it took him a little while to settle, the team have been so amazing at calming him down at drop off and helping to settle him.
He is very attached to his primary carer and it’s lovely to see the bond they have formed in such a small amount of time.
I love the updates I get about his day, he is always doing so many different activities and when I pick him up I can tell he’s had a great fun-filled day!
The team are so great, I would recommend Early Birds to everyone.

May 24, 2021 at 12:00 amI’m very lucky to have such great women looking after my daughter at nursery. They always go above and beyond for her and all the other children to make sure they are happy and well looked after. I would 100% recommend.

May 24, 2021 at 12:00 amMy 3.5-year-old son has been attending Early Birds for over a year now, and loves every minute. He gets a great mix of free outdoor and indoor play, as well as adult-led activities tailored to his age. We receive regular communications with photos showing what he’s been doing and how it ties in with developmental expectations – he doesn’t always tell us what he’s been up to so it’s nice to have this insight from his keyworker. Recent examples include using different tools to break ice sheets, driving a remote-controlled car over a bridge, playing a number recognition game, constructing a ball run out of pipes and getting messy with cornflour gloop. Teamwork with peers is encouraged, and it is lovely to hear him talk about friendships he’s starting to build.
I have also been impressed with how the team has handled the changes and requirements throughout the pandemic, all of which were communicated clearly to parents and implemented quickly within the nursery.

May 24, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter absolutely loves Early Birds Nursery, and always states how excited she is when it’s time for her to go to nursery. She happily goes in and happily comes out, always with stories to tell about her day. She has now been going for over 6 months and she is always eager to go to nursery.
The staff are amazing and friendly. Would always recommend Early Birds Nursery. They have especially been great during lockdown at looking after and protecting the children, whilst also trying to keep things normal for the kids.

June 11, 2021 at 12:00 amMy child loves going to Early Birds Nursery since starting there in September. He gets sad he can’t go in when it isn’t his days!
He does loads of activities outdoors, and they are happy to accommodate what he wants to do such as potion making!

August 5, 2021 at 12:00 amWe were really worried about putting our 18-month-year-old in the nursery as she is usually not great at leaving us for any amount of time. However, she is so happy to go in at Early Birds always runs in and doesn’t look back.
The staff are really nurturing and accommodating, and she has already formed great relationships with them.
Highly recommended!

November 26, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy has only recently started at nursery but seems to be loving it already. All the staff are extremely warm and friendly, and the setting is very inviting with lots of lovely toys and a lovely little outdoor area. Overall I am very happy with Early Birds Nursery and would definitely recommend it.

November 30, 2021 at 12:00 amWe love Early Birds! My daughter was especially nervous about leaving me at first but they really worked with her so well. Now she runs in without a second thought. The friendships made here last forever, we meet up and play outside of nursery too. It’s lovely to hear about all the different activities they get up to!

October 12, 2022 at 12:00 amEarly Birds is a fantastic nursery. Friendly and kind staff – who are informative and easy to chat to. My little boy has made some great friends, he absolutely loves going to nursery and has settled in brilliantly with the staff and kids.

October 12, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started here a couple of months back after moving him from another setting and has settled so quickly he loves it. He has made so friends already and looks forward to his nursery days. All staff have made him and myself so welcome and comfortable, especially one member of staff in particular. The communication is fantastic with the staff.

March 4, 2023 at 12:00 amMy grandson came to this setting in September last year (2022) his transition from a previous nursery to this one was fantastic. He settled in incredibly well and seemed to find his feet and settle very quickly. I’m sure this has been due to the staff welcoming him in and making him feel safe and at home in this wonderful environment. The staff have been, and are fantastic. Very welcoming, nurturing, kind, caring and friendly. Communication between staff and me or my daughter who picks him up is brilliant, letting us know important information, how his session has been and how he is getting on. Also, the online connection is superb keeping us up to date on vital information. Would highly recommend this setting to anyone who has a preschool child and is looking for a preschool.
