July 20, 2018 at 12:00 amAn absolutely fantastic nursery and pre-school. The outdoor space is amazing and the range of activities available to the children is second to none. Highly recommend, the staff are wonderful and my baby loves it.

July 20, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Alphabet House Day Nursery in West Bridgford for one and a half years. He has always enjoyed going, especially on the days he has taken part in yoga, dance, forest school, french, outdoor play and messy activities. The food always sounds amazing, it smells great when I come around at meal times. The staff have always been friendly and easy to talk to. The online learning journey makes seeing my sons progress easy and I like that I can add to it too.

August 3, 2018 at 12:00 amGreat outdoor space used regularly. Warm, friendly staff who take the time to get to know the children and families. Very inclusive, would highly recommend.

August 9, 2018 at 12:00 amIt’s been a pleasure to have our daughter at Alphabet House Day Nursery. The staff are attentive and caring and take all personalities into consideration. The manager is personable and very approachable and takes an interest in every child. Lastly, the outdoor play area and extracurricular activities make this place stand out from the rest!
The only criticism we have is that staff can be more welcoming on arrival. Our daughter, for example, is very sensitive and would have benefitted from being greeted personally rather than being expected to be thrown in with the rest.

August 9, 2018 at 12:00 amOur son has had such a wonderful foundation in Alphabet House. Over the past four years, the staff have been extraordinary. He has absolutely flourished, the activities are exciting, well-organised and educational. The French, dance and forestry sessions are such a wonderful supplement to an already brilliant stimulating day. I have always felt that he feels safe and loved and the staff are fantastic in feeding back to parents. Thank you to Alphabet House our little boy is becoming a confident and independent school by and we could not be more grateful.

August 9, 2018 at 12:00 amVery clean, tidy and organised nursery. My daughter has always looked forward to coming.

August 9, 2018 at 12:00 amAlphabet House is an amazing pre-school. They make amazing effort to help the children settle in. Our daughter cried the first day. She was made to feel so welcome she asked to go back the second day. She has made lots of friends and has built amazing relationships with the staff. We have recommended Alphabet House to others.
Kate R
August 9, 2018 at 12:00 amWe were made to feel really welcome in the pre-school room and offered a tour immediately, even though we had been at the nursery since the baby room. The food prepared is amazing, the range of activities varied, particularly in pre-school. The ethos of having children outside as much as possible is great. The staff are professional and try to be as flexible as possible. It more than meets our needs – thank you!
Chantelle L
August 13, 2018 at 12:00 amGreat nursery. Highly recommend. Has built my sons confidence, social skills and academic skills. He has made friends for life with staff and children.
Andrew F
August 27, 2018 at 12:00 amMy child thoroughly enjoys his time coming to the nursery to spend time with not only the staff but he has made plenty of friends along his journey whilst he has been coming. All staff are friendly, helpful, courteous and can’t do enough for all the children. The activities provided are not only helping his progression develop but moulding him into an individual to grow into. Overall extremely happy.
Nicola C
September 17, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son has attended the preschool for over a year and his confidence has improved no end. He has difficulty with his speech but this has not held him back. With the support of his key worker and the other staff, his speech improved and became more clear. I cannot thank the staff enough he never wants to come home at the end of the day.
John T
October 4, 2018 at 12:00 amStaff and facilities very good.
Our son’s confidence has greatly improved after joining full time.

March 25, 2019 at 12:00 amBrilliant nursery. Excellent support in settling our child in when she started and really put us at ease.
Excellent communication keeping parents up to date with development and activities.
Very friendly, approachable staff, always happy to address any concerns or just have a chat about general progress.

March 25, 2019 at 12:00 amOur child is happy, well cared for and enjoys his time at nursery.
Abigail C
April 8, 2019 at 12:00 amAbsolutely amazing nursery, could not ask for a better setting or staff for my daughter. She loves coming to nursery and always have such a great day when she goes.
The staff are so supportive, not just to the children but also the families.
Pete M
April 12, 2019 at 12:00 amBoth myself and my wife love the staff at the nursery, how they interact with us and how they interact with our daughter. Our daughter is 16 months old and really enjoys going here. She has really bonded with the staff and enjoys a variety of activities. The selling point for us choosing this is the outside space. Even at this age, they take them outside, which we love. I’d really recommend this nursery to anyone, especially those keen on getting their children outside.
Josie W
April 12, 2019 at 12:00 amAwesome, would be the first word I would use.
All three of my children have come through this nursery and my oldest two still talk friendly of their time there. The staff here are brilliant, very supportive and provide a loving and caring environment – for the parents as well as the children.
Bella D
April 12, 2019 at 12:00 amWarm and comfortable atmosphere with really lovely, friendly staff.
C C
April 25, 2019 at 12:00 amWe’ve been very impressed with the nursery staff and range of activities they offer. Both our children love attending, as every day is different and they have a great rapport with their key members of the team (pre-school and toddlers).
Hannah
April 25, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son loves coming to nursery. I cannot fault the staff on their caring and helpful attitudes, I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.
Katie M
April 25, 2019 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery my son has felt at home from his first day. He is visibly excited when we pull up outside the nursery in the morning. The variety of activities they do with the children is brilliant and they have all formed a great connection with my son. Their procedures and management is simple and helpful, no issue or question is too great. This nursery is a second home to my son and I feel so comfortable leaving him there.
L T
April 25, 2019 at 12:00 amAlphabet House is wonderful. It’s such a welcoming and loving environment. Our eldest joined in 2014 and our youngest daughter is there. The staff are kind, caring and well informed. They really know the children and give the nursery a very “home from home” feel.
I recommend Alphabet House to anyone who asks.
Not only is the inside stocked with all that the children’s needs but they have the most amazing outdoor space. Plus the homemade flapjacks are delicious.
Kate H
April 27, 2019 at 12:00 amWe have recently moved to Lady Bay and our little boy has started preschool 2 days a week. The transition from his last school has been great. The Manager and all the preschool team were welcoming, caring and went out of their way to ensure that our son settled. The variety of activities is really great and the kids are able to both learn and be nurtured. The food is served is super yummy too and is great knowing they eat healthily every day.
Andria W
May 23, 2019 at 12:00 amFriendly staff, helpful and kind, wonderful range of learning activities provided, always go the extra mile to help and fantastic menu. My boy wouldn’t eat the variety of food he does if it wasn’t for this nursery.
K M
May 29, 2019 at 12:00 amWe have been very happy with the nursery so far. The staff made a real effort to ensure our daughter settled in her first few weeks and were patient and understanding with us as parents. The staff in the baby room seem to have genuine and caring relationships with the babies and notice and report on little things which are reassuring. We have been impressed with the range of activities creative, learning, outdoor and our little girls really looks forward to being there which says it all.
Frances B
June 3, 2019 at 12:00 amAfter having visited the nursery to have a look around before deciding which one my son would attend I felt right at home with this nursery. Everyone was friendly and I felt confident he would be well cared for.
I would highly recommend this nursery as my son has fitted in no problem since I had always been at home with him till he was 3. I felt confident that he was being cared for and that he would be comforted if needed for the reasons above. I am also happy with the level of development he has reached.
Tracey W
August 9, 2019 at 12:00 amI find the staff supportive, open and friendly. Very satisfied.

August 9, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter developed loads since being here and loves coming. My daughter also says she enjoys her time and says she loves going.

August 9, 2019 at 12:00 amAll of the staff are brilliant. Our daughter settled in very well and loves coming to nursery every week.

August 9, 2019 at 12:00 amVery nice and safe environment for children. Adequate facilities and resources to help with child development. Very friendly staff who show genuine care for the children.
Dean G
August 9, 2019 at 12:00 amI am really pleased with Alphabet House, I feel that my daughter is very happy and developing well. The staff are superb and the nursery has a real good feel about it. There are lots of toys/activities for the children. I am so pleased that the children also visit the local farm on a regular basis. My daughters key worker is wonderful and I would certainly recommend this nursery to friends.
Suzanna C
August 9, 2019 at 12:00 amMy two children have just started at Alphabet House a month ago and I have been so impressed at how well they have both settled in already. The staff have been very helpful and friendly and I can’t wait to see them grow while being here.
Smantha W
August 9, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughters keyworker is very supportive in meeting my daughters needs. She communicated my childs targets very clearly and advised me on additional information to enhance her development at home. She clearly talked me through the daily routine and advised me on how she measures her progression and development.

October 31, 2019 at 12:00 amOur daughter loves going to Alphabet House Day Nursery. The team are so welcoming and she is developing really well, doing so many varied activities every day.
Olivia R
November 15, 2019 at 12:00 amWhat sold this nursery to us was the staff and the visits to Alphabet House Day Nursery.
My little boy started in August – he cried when I dropped him off and again when I fetched him but six weeks in and I don’t even get chance to take his coat off before he’s walking over to one of the ladies for a hug. I love that he’s enjoying himself and learning new things daily. Pretty sure he enjoys the food too!
Elizabeth B
November 21, 2019 at 12:00 amThe staff are always warm and welcoming. Our children both go to their key workers and staff quite happily and readily.
There is a great array of activities indoors, outdoor space and regular trips to include the farm.
We receive regular updates through tapestry and have good catch-ups with staff.
Phil E
November 21, 2019 at 12:00 amWe cannot speak highly enough of all the staff and the Alphabet House team since our daughter has been attending. The care and attention they have shown has been outstanding and we would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to our friends.
Sherie W
December 10, 2019 at 12:00 amThe nursery are consistently looking at ways to help the children learn and develop. Also through different ways exploring sensory items and interacting with the other children and going to the farm. The food provided is all at an excellent standard and I love the parent’s breakfast mornings/evening and the tapestry.

December 26, 2019 at 12:00 amMy twin boys started at Alphabet House in March 2019 after the closure of their last nursery. I was worried about them starting at a different nursery at 2 and a half years old, but I didn’t need to be. They settled into the toddler room easily and are now progressing into the pre-school room. I love that they have access to the farm next door, there is a variety of food available and they are looked after by dedicated staff.

August 7, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son started nursery in February and settled in really well straight away, the staff was great with reassurance and shown me lots of photos of him playing. Lots of different activities out for my son to explore, from painting, pretend play, storytime, outdoor play. After my son had an unsettling time at a different setting it was brilliant to see him so happy, interacting and talking lots and really being himself.
The staff and nursery are brilliant and I thank them for being so great especially with a nervous mum.
Julia K
August 13, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son started at Alphabet House when he was just 3-months-old and I cannot speak highly enough of how the whole team there made both him and I feel welcomed and safe in a homely family environment, especially given his young age.
Every member of staff has such a genuine love for what they do and a personal connection to the children.
Their handling of the uncertain and unpredictable time we are currently navigating with coronavirus has been both calm and strategic – always keeping the health and well-being of the children, their families and the staff at the forefront of all decisions.
Being a new mum and having not come from a family who use the services of a nursery, I was unsure what to expect. But Alphabet House have superseded every expectation that I had and in a relatively short space of time really feel like an extension of our family.
Thank you so much to the Alphabet House team!

September 29, 2020 at 12:00 amThe moment I set foot in this nursery, I knew it was perfect for my child. It is secure, very clean and has loads of happy and well-behaved children! The staff is always polite, friendly and helpful. My daughter loves it, and I feel confident and at ease leaving her in the care of the nursery staff.
Charlotte M
September 29, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son started the nursery in June and has come on in leaps and bounds with his learning and communication. He really enjoys playing with the other children and staff, and they always give him a warm welcome when he arrives.
The staff are friendly and very helpful.
I would definitely recommend the nursery.
Kina M
October 2, 2020 at 12:00 amThis is the second nursery our daughter has attended and the placement was for a very short period (approx 7 weeks). We were very pleased with the activities the nursery offered. The staff were always informative and pleasant. Our daughter absolutely loved this nursery and we wish she had always been able to go there. As soon as she started there, she blossomed in areas where she had failed to in her last nursery. The nursery had excellent procedures for covid-19 and we never felt our daughter was at risk within the nursery.
Daisy C
January 12, 2021 at 12:00 amThe manager and the team are great. My son loves going to nursery and I feel he gets so much out of his time there.
His key worker in the baby room is great and he always has a huge smile on his face as soon as he sees her.
My work schedule often changes and the nursery is always very accommodating.
Michael H
January 12, 2021 at 12:00 amStaff are warm, friendly, welcoming and professional. They arrange a lot of activities for the children. The food menu is very good and our child seems really happy to attend. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Joanna K
January 14, 2021 at 12:00 amThis is a lovely nursery, it’s so cosy and every detail of the setting is thought through to get the best out of the children. All the staff are friendly and make you feel like your child is the only child. I’d recommend this place in a heartbeat and my little girl has absolutely thrived.
Vanessa W
February 2, 2021 at 12:00 amMy husband and I are so happy with the nursery. I can’t thank the manager and her team enough for all their support and care. They have worked amazingly with us and our daughter’s needs. We really have no concerns about the nursery. The manager and her team are fantastic and so welcoming.
Nicola S
April 1, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my children have attended Alphabet House Day Nursery since they were 8 months old and during this time we have had nothing but praise for the staff and nursery setting. The staff are amazing and are so accommodating to each individual child’s needs, development and personality and also very flexible to meet our needs as parents. Thank you for all you do.
Gabrielle H
April 6, 2021 at 12:00 amWe have been extremely happy with the services provided by Alphabet House Day Nursery for our daughter. The staff are lovely and have always treated us all very well. Our daughter looks forward to attending each day and always comes home happy and enthusiastic. They carry out a range of activities and fun games that she would not do otherwise. The food provided is varied and well accepted. Overall very happy with the nursery.
Amelia K
May 28, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has just started at Alphabet House in Lowdham, I was really worried about how she would settle in due to being a lockdown baby and not been socialised much. But the staff at Alphabet House were lovely. They put us all at ease and made the transition so easy. My daughter absolutely loves it there and has seemed to settle in beautifully. The staff in the baby room have been so good at meeting her needs and send lovely photos on the app, so I can see how she’s getting on. I would recommend anyone who is looking for childcare to contact Alphabet House. It’s perfect.
Samantha B
August 19, 2021 at 12:00 amAlphabet House is a great setting. The staff, from the management down, are all brilliant. They provide a warm, caring and stimulating environment, and it is clear that the children thoroughly enjoy themselves whilst there.
My eldest is particularly shy, and they spent lots of time getting him comfortable at nursery and really tailored their approach to changes etc, knowing his particular needs.
We always had confidence our boys were in safe, capable hands here, which was very reassuring. Thank you, Alphabet House.
Liz C
October 29, 2021 at 12:00 amI have 2 children at Alphabet House and they both started attending from about 7 months. It’s been so nice to watch my eldest progress through the rooms and develop. All of the staff are so friendly and you can tell they care about the children. They plan different activities for each day and I really enjoy looking at the photos on the online learning portal. Nothing is too much trouble and they cater for my children’s individual needs.
E H
October 29, 2021 at 12:00 amOur child has settled in so well thanks to the wonderful staff who are brilliant with the children. We have been really impressed with the management as well. We would highly recommend the nursery to other children.
Claire
October 29, 2021 at 12:00 amThe staff are outstanding and make every day varied and fun for my child. He has developed so quickly since he started attending this nursery. The food is healthy and varied, and the children are encouraged to make their own choices by self serving food (at an appropriate age). Communication from the staff caring for my son each day is fantastic. This also applies to any communication with the manager, with quick replies to any queries. I couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough.
Lee K
November 3, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Alphabet House for the last 5 months since she started at 8 months of age. We’ve been so impressed with the nursery, in particular, the staff have been great. Not only at making our daughter’s time at nursery fun and rewarding but also at reassuring us as parents that she’s in safe hands and they genuinely care about her.
Bethan N
January 31, 2022 at 12:00 amI cannot thank the staff in the baby room at Alphabet House enough for making my daughter’s first month at nursery so amazing! Even though she’s missed a few days of nursery due to illness she has come on so much in this time and settled in so well. I love that all members of staff take the time to talk you through the day on pick up so you get an insight into what they’ve been doing/eating etc and for a first-time-mum who’s had massive ‘mum guilt’ about sending their 1-year-old to nursery this has been so helpful. A special mention to several members of staff, in particular, you’re all so lovely! Thank you Alphabet House!
N T
February 7, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started with Alphabet House in Oct 2021 at 10 months old. The staff were fantastic at helping him to settle in, with the same people each day he quickly became familiar, comfortable, and happy to go to them each morning. We had one occasion where he was under the weather and I needed to fetch him but it was over an hour before I could get there. The team were amazing, reassuring me and looking after him as if he were their own until I got there. Couldn’t recommend them anymore.
J C
February 8, 2022 at 12:00 amWe cannot rate Alphabet House highly enough! My 11-month-old daughter started at nursery in the new year. We had never left her before so was nervous to see how she would settle. The staff have been amazing from day one with helping her settle and easing our nerves about leaving her. They asked about her routine and what she enjoys doing to try and make her feel as happy and comfortable at nursery as possible. She has been off a few days due to illness but she is always happy to return to nursery to see the staff and see the other children. We also love seeing her weekly online posts to see all the wonderful activities she has been doing during the week.
E P
February 14, 2022 at 12:00 amA really friendly and caring nursery setting. The staff put on some really lovely activities for the children. My child loves going to nursery and has come on leaps and bounds since joining Alphabet House Lowdham.

February 16, 2022 at 12:00 amAfter an unsettling time for my little one whose previous nursery was very suddenly closed, I chose Alphabet House. She has settled so quickly and seems to have made some good development progress in the short time she has been there. She is happy to attend, tells me lots of wonderful things that she’s done, and even better the nursery regularly updates progress through an online system. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and making the transition so easy. From day one I knew I had made the right choice.
