November 23, 2022 at 12:00 amJust want to say what a fantastic creche this is. The care they give to every single child is outstanding. Our grandson is doing really well in his development and is always cheerful when we go and pick him up.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amSouthlands has pleased me from day one to the present and continues to do so. I could not recommend this nursery more for an array of reasons! My child has been lucky enough to experience trips out, swimming, choosing Christmas trees, picking pumpkins and playing in the extensive garden alongside all the day-to-day fun and learning opportunities offered by the staff. The staff are warm, friendly and loving and show genuine love and affection for my little boy. As a mum, I want nothing more than for my child to feel loved wherever he is and to know he is safe and happy – this epitomises Southlands and all who work there.

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amGreat nursery for our little boy. I feel as though we are giving him the best start to life and feel lucky to have such a fantastic nursery not only in the area but also to have obtained a space on the days we need childcare. The staff are excellent and appear to be very happy, which can only be a good thing. Staff turnover has virtually zero in the 18 months he’s been there across the creche and kindy nurseries.

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amWords can’t even describe how amazing this nursery is. The staff provide such a magical, caring and nurturing environment for the children. My child has been given an amazing start to life thanks to Southlands. I’m even getting emotional while typing this review, as I’m dreading September when my child has to start school. I wish my child could attend Southlands forever!

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been with Southlands Nursery for more than one year. We are so pleased with our choice. My daughter loves to go to nursery every day and keeps mentioning the nursery teacher’s name at home.
She gets well pampered there with caring teachers, delicious food, and many activities every day. She has been going through all the key points smoothly, e.g. weaning, talking, and potty training, with great help from the teachers. I always said this is the best money spent for the whole period. I’m very satisfied and proud that my daughter is with Southlands.

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Southlands Nurseries for over a year now, and we couldn’t be happier with the nursery. The staff are fantastic and always put the children first. My son has moved to an older room, and they have been patient and given him time to settle and adjust, tailoring his transition around his needs. We know that he is well cared for at Southlands, and this has been such an important thing for us.
The experiences the children have here are brilliant; he is always out on visits and walks and even comes home talking about the minibus now!
There is no doubt in our mind that our younger son will be joining his brother at Southlands! Thanks, everyone!

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amMy youngest is now in crèche at Southlands, and my eldest went to both crèche and kindergarten. I have had a very positive experience with Southlands. The staff make this nursery, from the owners to each and every other member of the team. Their friendliness and positivity are fabulous, and nothing seems to be much trouble; they genuinely care about each and every child in their care. They provide a comprehensive report of how our child has been and behaved and the lovely things they have done during the day. This includes a daily report, which provides everything you need and dont need to know (toilet habits) about their day; in addition, they use the app to provide even more insight into their daily activities. The experiences the children are exposed to are very varied, from swimming trips to the park, shopping and fruit picking – I could go on.
Absolutely fabulous start to our little one’s life. Our eldest is a very confident child, and Southlands played a part in that.

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amWonderful nursery! The staff are incredible, and the range of activities the children engage in on a daily basis is outstanding. The facilities are great too.
I am proud to say that my son attends Southlands.

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amOur little boy is starting with Southlands, and we have been starting our introduction days this month. From the moment we got in touch with the nursery, the manager and the team have been amazing and made the whole process as stress-free as possible. Our little one goes into the nursery with smiles and giggles, and returns to us the same way!

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amI was so nervous about sending my baby to the nursery, but they have made the whole process so easy for us both. Lots of settle-in days! So much so that by my baby’s first day, she was well away! Absolutely outstanding! Healthy meals and fantastic staff!

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amOur little boy loves attending Southlands. They really took the time to help him settle in, and he’s loved it ever since. They do loads of activities with the children, and everyone that works there has a really nurturing and caring way about them which is really reassuring as a parent. They also really encourage the children, and our little boy has come along so much and is much more independent.

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amAbsolutely brilliant nursery. All staff are so lovely and inviting. Nothing is any trouble for them, and you can really see the improvement in my child. It’s a very relaxing atmosphere when you walk in, and the meals sound amazing. I feel like the staff truly do look after the kids as their own; my little girl absolutely loves going.
The toddler tattlers are also great to see how they’ve gone on/what they’ve been doing during the day. All staff really do go above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend it enough (I tell everyone!).

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amAfter making the hard decision to change the nursery for our 18-month-old, we are so glad we changed to Southlands crèche.
My son settled in very easily, thanks to the staff, and they made the transition as easy as possible. I love that my son goings swimming with them once a week, and they go outdoors a lot.

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has just started at Southlands crèche, and wow! We are blown away by the staff, facilities, learning opportunities and care! My daughter has taken to nursery so well, and I believe it is down to the structured and numerous settling-in days as well as the warming team! I have already noticed a change in my daughter’s development just after two full days. Im excited to see what 2023 has in store at the nursery, and I know my daughter is too!

February 2, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing nursery. My second child started in October. Staff made the transition seamless, welcoming, friendly and caring. My daughter is so happy going and puts her arms out for the staff. It’s like home-from-home. So many activities and my baby loves the baby room. Fantastic homemade food and very varied. Cannot recommend them enough.

February 2, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son is 15 months and only started at Southlands recently. So far, we’ve had a really positive experience. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. A lot of them have worked there a long time, which I think speaks volumes.
The food is varied and cooked fresh, which is really important to us. I know that once they have progressed from the baby room, the children are taken out a lot.
My son has settled so well in just a few weeks, and I’m looking forward to seeing how he develops there over time.

February 3, 2023 at 12:00 amSouthlands kindergarten is a fabulous learning environment for my daughter. She loves attending “kindy” and loves the staff, the food and her friends. The activities on offer are fantastic, and she loves the little trips out. I don’t know what I would do without Southlands. My daughter is always happy to go and misses it when she’s been off! Thank you.

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to Southlands since he was a year old. The creche and kindergarten are such a great place with really supportive and experienced staff in both. They love and do an amazing job with the children and always make each day fun and educational. My son loves going; they do so many activities with the children, which include swimming, trips out, outdoor place, and so many indoor learning activities. The food menu is exceptional, varied and nutritional. Amazing all round.

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amA wonderful nursery!
Our daughter loves attending Southlands Kindergarten. The staff are friendly and approachable, and nothing is too much trouble for the owner.
Our child has a ‘home from home’ experience, which is one of the main reasons we were attracted to the nursery.
The nursery goes above and beyond- supporting others within the local community and involves our children in the process- for example, visiting a local care home with cards for the residents.
Our daughter enjoys the plethora of activities offered, including gardening club, rhythm time and sporty stars. sometimes
Sending our daughter to Southlands was the best decision we made.

June 21, 2023 at 12:00 amThis is the second child we have sent to this nursery, and we wouldn’t even look elsewhere. The staff are amazing and really put you at ease as it is an anxious time leaving your little one in a care setting. My daughter is happy to be left in the morning. She has settled into a fantastic routine, eats really well and naps very comfortably. It’s not the biggest nursery (creche setting), but I feel this is a plus as it’s like a home away from home. I feel totally at ease whilst my daughter is in their care, which I feel is a big compliment in itself. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
