Archway Nursery School

We were new to the nursery and supposed to settle the week that lockdown happened. Instead, the manager and the team kept in touch throughout the whole of lockdown, and we settled the children in during the 3rd week of July. The staff have been brilliant in terms of understanding the children through phone calls before them starting, communicating through the log and chatting at the door before the children go in and prior to going home. I have felt comfortable to be able to call up and ask how the children are getting on, and the children have been settled and happy. Overall, a great ‘new nursery’ experience for us.

I love Archway! My little boy has been attending the nursery since he was 8 months old, he’s in the preschool room now and starting school in September. We’re going to be sad to leave. Archway gave me the confidence to leave him and know he was being so well cared for, every day I picked him up with a smile and now he chats away telling me all about his day and the fun activities he’s done with his friends. Every room he went into was fantastic, we have both built bonds with the staff who are always so welcoming and kind. Nothing is ever too much to ask from the team at Archway.

My little boy has been at Archway since he was 9 months old and will be leaving shortly for school. He has really enjoyed his time there which makes such a huge difference to me as it makes me feel much better about leaving him there. There is always a really good menu on offer so he gets to try lots of different things and the activities they do are fantastic. He loves sharing his artwork or telling about experiments they have done. The staff are lovely and really good with him, and the rest of the children. The office staff are always really helpful and if ever there are questions on funding or anything else, they are really quick to respond and support. All-round great nursery for both parents and children.

My daughter has been here for two years now and she really enjoys it. Staff are friendly and approachable and have created a great bond with my daughter. She feels safe and happy when she’s here and looks forward to attending. Communication with staff is great and safeguarding is a top priority. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being at Archway and we will definitely be sad when it’s time for her to leave!

Archway is an amazing nursery and pre-school! Both of my boys have attended the setting and been happy throughout. They have developed extremely well and thrived with the care that they receive. The staff are excellent and have always got the children first. The rooms are bright and clean, with many wooden toys and natural materials. The outdoor play areas are brilliant, with Forest School now being taught, which is wonderful for my 2 energetic boys. The chef is an amazing cook and my son still compares my cooking to hers (she always wins!). The new system of direct debit payment and also online invoices is good. We have not had any recent issues. I highly recommend this setting and will be quite sad when my youngest leaves in August. Thank you for looking after my boys, Archway!

The excellent service started right from the beginning when I first made an enquiry about my child attending Archway Nursery & Preschool. It is warm, welcoming and reassuring for children and parents each and every time! Once I had looked around I just knew it was where I wanted my child. Beautiful large outdoor areas for playing and clean friendly rooms indoors with a variety of activities. I could not recommend them enough! Love the place.

My boy had been at Archway since he was 3 months old and has moved through the rooms as he has grown (in the preschool room now). All have been exceptional and he has progressed so much! He loves the food, staff, other children, all the activities. I love that they go outside rain or shine as fresh air is so great for them. Cannot fault Archway and I am so grateful that this is my son’s nursery.

My daughter loves her days at nursery. She has fairly complex medical and learning needs, yet staff have high expectations of her. They understand her as a person as well as her needs, and support her in all areas. The food is varied and often home-grown. I know she’ll eat well! The eylog is a great way to see how she’s doing and I love the photos that we get. I highly recommend Archway to all.

Fantastic! I highly rate every aspect of Archway:
The Staff; attentive, caring, friendly, make you feel your child is unique and special.
The Environment; lots of activities which vary and focus on different themes or current events. Children have opportunity to have plenty of fresh air and exercise too.
The Food; so much variety, freshly made, I get jealous reading the menu board each night.
Can’t rate Archway highly enough.

A wonderful caring and nurturing nursery. They really look after your child like one of their own. They do lots of fun things to keep them well engaged. They get to know your child’s personality too which makes all the difference.
