August 11, 2023 at 12:00 amMy eldest has been at Arcadia @ Easter Bush Day Nursery for eighteen months and my youngest just started in the baby room recently, so we have experience of all three of the rooms.
The staff are all very approachable and no question is a silly question. They genuinely care about the kids and pretty much all members of staff know them by name, even if they aren’t in their own room.
The nursery has the most incredible garden and setting and the kids are encouraged to get out and about exploring as much as possible.
The menus are really varied and nutritious – I’m quite envious!

August 11, 2023 at 12:00 amReally pleased with the nursery. The staff in the 2-year-old room are fantastic. Super friendly and genuinely care about the children. I also really like the fact we get daily updates on the app. My son really enjoys going to nursery, he skips in now. Thank you!

August 11, 2023 at 12:00 amWe are very impressed with all services and especially the staff.
The indoor and outdoor facilities are fantastic and a very good wide selection of toys and games for the wee ones to play and learn from.

August 11, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing nursery. Staff are awesome. Like their holistic and child-centred approach to childcare. It’s like a family, the nursery has created a lovely sense of community and nurturing environment.
Teachers are always on hand for cuddles if children need it. Love the indoor and outdoor flow, children are always encouraged to spend time outside.
There are lots of out-of-nursery experiences like going for walks in the woodlands, visits to the vet school etc.
Food is great, nutritious and varied. My kids often complain that my food isn’t as good!

August 11, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff are very good with my child. I enjoy seeing her daily updates, the staff keep me informed of my child’s progress. They understand her development needs and have been wonderful with her from the start. I would recommend Arcadia @ Easter Bush Day Nursery to other parents!

August 14, 2023 at 12:00 amOn the whole, the staff in Arcadia were professional, friendly and fantastic with my child. The only criticism I have is that the learning journals were very rarely updated. It would have been nice to see the nursery make better use of this.

August 14, 2023 at 12:00 amReally caring and nurturing staff – the peace room, in particular, has provided phenomenal care and attention to my child’s needs and interests. Fabulous management who are very on the ball. Friendly reception who always go above and beyond! Great facilities in a purpose-built nursery designed with littles in mind.

August 14, 2023 at 12:00 amSince my daughter has started going to this nursery I’ve seen her confidence grow, I love seeing how excited she is every morning to go in which speaks so much in itself.
The communication and transparency between parent and carer is amazing, appreciate the honesty which grows a trusting relationship between parent and carer.
I love how my daughter gets so much time outside and staff recognise her achievements, I feel there is strong support and I feel confident raising any issues and know they will help on working on them with us.
Thank you for making my daughter’s experience at nursery a memorable one and recognising her individuality and interests.

August 14, 2023 at 12:00 amFab nursery!
Always found the staff to be very friendly and polite, most of all approachable. Always have the information or advice when needed.
My daughter loves attending the nursery and has made lots of friends with the staff and children.

August 18, 2023 at 12:00 amA truly wonderful childcare provider. The nursery building is clean and modern and provides a wonderful space for all ages. The facilities on the doorstep are also ideal with parks and green spaces easily accessible on foot for off-site exploring. My eldest has had the opportunity for some lovely off-site visits to the vet school, museum and nearby care homes. Dedicated on-site chef with home-cooked food and the older children sometimes help with food prep. The staff are kind, considerate and conscientious and my two children have loved their time at Arcadia @ Easter Bush. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

August 21, 2023 at 12:00 amOur child has been at Arcadia @ Easter Bush for nearly 4 years so has transitioned through all three of the rooms. The staff have always been kind and attentive to our child, and supportive to us parents when we’ve needed it! They were amazing through the lockdowns at what must have been an impossible situation for them as well as us in providing us with resources at home and supporting us back into the nursery when we could. The environment is welcoming, bright and clean using mostly natural materials which gives the space a nice feel and the children are encouraged to play outside as much as possible.

August 22, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending Arcadia nursery for just over two months. Although it was challenging to initially get a spot and we have been on the waiting list for a long time, the nursery took our situation into consideration and offered us few days per week. Settling in the nursery was a bit more difficult for our child than settling with the childminder. However, the staff was very supportive, comforting, and great in meeting our child’s needs, thus goodbye tears quickly turned into goodbye smiles. I appreciate the wide variety of activities such as painting, exploring musical instruments, baking, circle games, yoga, etc. that create a fun learning environment. The space is really nice, especially the big garden outside where kids spend a lot of time. We are really happy with the nursery so far and looking forward to future adventures.
