February 19, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going since 2017 and she absolutely loves it. The team are fantastic They are welcoming and are always there to help. They also keep you updated, this can include the meals for the week, any projects they are doing. They have been given ‘outstanding’ from Ofsted which says it all. I cannot think of a better place to send my children. I can’t thank them enough for all their help and support – The nursery isn’t local to me but it’s the best by far.

February 23, 2020 at 12:00 amAlmond House deserves its OFSTED Outstanding rating.
My twins have been attending since 2018 and we have only positive things to say about the staff, the location and activities and the regular, helpful updates on their development.
The weekly menu is always diverse and freshly made.
The management make you feel important to the nursery and to your child’s success.
Recommend highly for anyone looking for a safe, supportive place for their little ones to succeed.

February 28, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has only been attending Almond House for 6 months and we’ve nothing but positive things to say! From day one the girls were so welcoming and he settled in really quick adapting to their routine. He has made so much progress, he’s much more confident playing in larger groups and with the delicious healthy meals provided at nursery, he‘s gained confidence to try new foods. The communication between the nursery and parents is amazing and they’re always trying to find new ways for families to interact. I’m updated during the day via an app of what he’s doing and also receive pictures at the end of the day, which leaves me feeling very comfortable seeing how happy and settled he is. We also reserve a monthly observation of his progress. They do lots of different activities and messy play each day which my boy loves!

July 17, 2020 at 12:00 amThe team at Almond House are simply outstanding, their commitment and dedication to enhancing our children’s learning and experiences have been fantastic. Nothing is too much for the team, they are always more than happy to help or give advice. One thing I particularly like is the use of technology, we get regular updates throughout the day via the app giving information on activities, sleep, eating, learning and of course the fun they’ve been having. They also take lots of pictures throughout the day so you can see all the fun the children had, which is great for tea time chats with the children about their day. We have since moved out of the area and continue to drive the extra distance due to how good this nursery is.

July 21, 2020 at 12:00 amOriginally put this nursery on our shortlist due to location the fact their sister nursery was Ofsted outstanding. This was the first nursery we visited and as soon as we walked through the door we felt it was right, my partner was a nursery nurse so is ultra sceptical so Almond House had to hit high standards to satisfy her. They have definitely met those standards and we have been more than happy with my child’s progress and happiness. Due to go to school this year and I know he will miss this place and that’s a credit to the staff. And the chef, wow, if only I could get my son to eat like that at home, all in all a Great setting with great staff

August 19, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been coming here for a year now and her communication skills and emotional development have improved greatly. The staff are really knowledgeable and go above and beyond for the children, always coming up with new creative ideas to help the children learn. I feel very safe sending my daughter here. It is very clean and there are a great deal of learning tools and toys for the children to interact with.

January 29, 2021 at 12:00 amMy baby and toddler both attend Almond House and I can’t recommend it highly enough. All the staff are very professional and committed to helping each child’s personal development. The daily updates and photos via the app are fantastic. Especially for parents who are unsure about leaving their babies for the first time.

July 28, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Pre school at Almond House Nursery since February. She has settled in really quickly thanks to the amazing caring, fun and professional staff. Her education is a priority and she is exposed to lots of different experiences and opportunities too. I would highly recommend this nursery.

July 28, 2023 at 12:00 amAlmond House Nursery staff are friendly and welcoming! My two little girls have been attending since they were both 11 months old (now 4 and 2) and from the first visit they have made us all feel settled and happy. Both girls have come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery. My youngest has Hip Dysplasia and the team were amazing after she had her operation and was in a full cast. I was really thrilled that I felt comfortable to leave her after such a big operation but she loved it!
Both girls have just grown in confidence and that’s all down to the managers and the team!
The menu created by the chef every week is varied and sounds delicious – even though they can be fussy at home they always eat every meal at nursery. I’m upset that my eldest is leaving for school and I know that she will miss coming to Almond House but my youngest will have two more amazing years. Thank you all.

July 29, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child has been at this nursery for a few months now, and I’ve absolutely loved it! I appreciate the regular updates and photos of my child’s day using the Famly app (including how much of their meal they ate, times of nappy changes and if it was wet or dirty, how long and when they had a nap etc.) and my child seems happy and comfortable with the staff. One of the highlights of the nursery is their chef. Every week he creates a diverse and nutritious menu for the children. Some of my favourite meals include: kid friendly sushi, stir fry with noodles, tofu nuggets, many different pasta dishes and lots more!
My kid has come back from nursery with newly learned songs and even a new baby sign for water!
If I had to say one negative (and that’s a hard task) I’d say it’s unfortunate that they don’t do term time places for children who don’t get free childcare hours. As a parent who studies, I’d love the option to have my kid at home for half term.

August 2, 2023 at 12:00 am100% recommend! My little boy’s face lights up when I ask him if he’s going to nursery today and he’s always full of smiles and happy to go to the staff members. They are really lovely with him and he seems to share a bond with a good amount of the staff here.

August 2, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been at Almond House Nursery for just over a year now and he has developed so much with his development, learning and speech and this has been supported by his time at the nursery. He has built great relationships with all of the staff who work there and happily walks into nursery each morning, happy to be there and never has any issues. Thank you for looking after my little boy.

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my children go to Almond House. My little boy was under two when he started, and he is four this year. They have been fantastic with him and us as parents and very supportive. They’ve adapted to my son to make his time there comfortable and enjoyable. (My son is SEN) I couldn’t have received more support and guidance, and I continue to do so. My little girl, who has also just turned two, also goes to this nursery now, and we’ve already noticed a difference in her speech and social interactions. They both love going to the nursery, and the staff are very professional, knowledgeable and supportive. Thanks, Almond House.

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amMy eldest son was born in 2020 and started at Almond House in 2021. We chose to send him to nursery because, as a lockdown baby, he had no outside interactions with other children for the first year of his life. In the two years he has been there, he has gained so much confidence and has helped massively with his social skills. He loves the staff who work there and always comes home a happy little boy!

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amA wonderful nursery! Our daughter is in her last few weeks now before she starts school and has had a great few years here. All the staff are super helpful and friendly and have given a great start to our daughter’s education and social skills. I 100% recommend.

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy is the fantastic, clever and curious child he is because of the staff at Almond House. They offer him the best experience possible, and I couldn’t recommend them enough. I love seeing the daily pictures and am jealous of the fabulous food he eats there. He is happy there, and as a Mum, that makes me feel happy and reassured I made the best choice in sending him to Almond House.

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amMy two daughters love Almond House and all the staff (especially two members of staff) they are so excited to go and have formed amazing friendships.
The chef makes fabulous fresh food daily and even has time to occasionally spoil the parents with yummy cakes too!

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little girl goes to Almond House and absolutely loves it. She is thriving there and has come on leaps and bounds in her development, always able to tell me about her day. Great relationship with the staff and the beautiful food she eats at the nursery.
It’s a big thing to choose a nursery for your little one to go to, to be in someone else’s care, but I couldn’t have chosen better.
Regular updates on how she is getting on in the room and observations and photos are regularly sent.

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amHave sent both our boys to Almond House, our youngest has just started, and the staff have been amazing. Put our minds at ease, and he is so happy! What an amazing team and facilities!
The parent-staff relationship cannot be faulted – communication, updates and photos are always delivered at such a high standard.

August 16, 2023 at 12:00 amOur boy has been attending Almond House for just over six months now, and he absolutely loves it.
The staff are friendly and kind; they give regular updates through the app and are more than happy to chat more in detail about what he’s been up to that day at drop off and pick up. I really feel that they care about him, which is lovely. We’ve always struggled to get our son to nap, which was a concern for us, but they manage where we fail. He rarely naps at home now but still usually naps at nursery!
The food is top-notch and varied too, which is wonderful, as we try to eat well at home, so it’s nice that he’s getting nutritious, homemade food at nursery too. I was lucky enough to sample some of the food at an open day in the spring and was really impressed.
Since starting at Almond House, our relatives and friends have also noticed that our son is much more sociable too, happier to go to them, and much more confident.
