April 26, 2017 at 12:00 amMy son joined the nursery 8 months ago and has settled in so well. The opportunities available to him are excellent and the care and attention he receives from staff are faultless.

April 27, 2017 at 12:00 amIn the 3 years that my daughter has attended the nursery, there has been a regular turnover of staff particularly approaching new academic years. However, these transitions and turnovers have been well managed and caused no impact on the care and support delivered to my child which is commended. My daughter has received excellent care and support and has formed close bonds with her key workers. My daughter has flourished from attending the nursery and we will miss all the team when she starts school in September.

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amA brilliant environment for little ones to grow and learn. My little one has thrived under the care and supervision of the wonderful people at Akeley Wood Nursery. The opportunities and adventure they provide have impressed me. I have a well-rounded confident girl as a result!

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amWe highly recommend Akeley Wood. Our little boy joined at 12 months and settled really quickly. The staff are great: caring, kind and supportive. And the activities the children get to do are fantastic and really varied. The facilities are also lovely – particularly having such a lot of external space. We’d recommend it to anyone.

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amWe were looking to put our daughter in nursery for some time. It was very hard to find the one we would like. Akeley Wood Nursery was the one that left a great impression. The staff are very professional. The nursery itself has a beautiful layout. There’s amazing space outside for kids to run and explore. They also have a forest school which is a great place for kids to learn and be in nature. My daughter has been going to the nursery for over a year. She truly enjoys it. Every time I pick her up she says how much fun she had that day. We will be taking our second daughter to Akeley Wood Nursery too. Highly recommend this place.

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amTruly exceptional nursery filled with the most wonderful members of staff.
My two children, currently 3 years and 2 years of age, absolutely love going there.
Akeley Wood Nursery ups the standard in terms of not only minding your children, but also caring for their developmental progress.
They want your child to be best prepared for the start of their academic lives by providing them with forest school, arts and crafts, languages and IT skills.
They always update the nursery system so you can see how your child has done throughout the day, along with pictures, videos and text to show you what they’ve been doing.
The team always respond as soon as they are able to, with any queries you may have.

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter (and my son before her) love going to nursery every day. They get so excited to drive up, see the staff and do exciting new things. From music lessons, to forest school, fun play time and creating a perfect start to introducing early learning, I cannot thank the nursery enough.

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son started at the nursery 10 months ago and the experience has been excellent. The nursery staff have all been great and he definitely gets to participate in a wide variety of different learning experiences. It’s great when we get to see photos and videos of this.

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amExcellent day nursery. They have made a significant difference to my child’s upbringing in a positive and caring environment. Excellent caring staff who are always professional, caring, and helpful. The physical education and forest school are our favourites. They genuinely strive to make a difference.

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amA wonderful nursery with dedicated and caring staff in a beautiful setting. The opportunities and activities open to the children is brilliant. Children are challenged to make progress through discovery, teamwork, and play. A mix of indoor and outdoor activities all year round. The staff know each child so well and genuinely care about their happiness and development. My little boy has been so happy here for 2 years.

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has just started at Akeley Wood Nursery and I’ve been so worried about him going as he’s only 2 and has spent the whole of last year obviously in lockdown with just me. I had nothing to worry about though as he absolutely loves it. The communication throughout the day is brilliant and I feel well informed on what my son has been up to. The nursery teachers are so lovely too and always take the time to talk to me about the day when I pick my son up. It’s a lovely nursery and very well run.

May 26, 2021 at 12:00 amThe strength of this nursery is that each child is treated as an individual and nurtured to develop confidence, social skills, kindness, and understand their feelings and emotions. This is balanced with a very healthy approach to outdoor activities, sports, forest school, etc. My daughter has progressed rapidly and the staff’s encouragement has been perfect in every way for her to progress to the next stage of her education. I would highly highly recommend this nursery.

May 26, 2021 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery, the staff are really friendly and caring and we receive lots of pictures and updates throughout the week to keep us informed. The location is very picturesque and yet safely away from the busier local areas. I would recommend this nursery.

May 26, 2021 at 12:00 amWe would recommend this nursery without question. Our son absolutely loves it here and has a great relationship with his teachers and carers. We love to see the photos of his nursery day on the online learning portal and all the lovely arts and crafts that he brings home. There’s such a wide range of activities that I feel are helping to shape our son into a super little person.
