March 20, 2018 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Camelot Nursery for over a year now and is extremely happy there. The staff who care for her are outstanding and she has a great relationship with all of them, even the Chef! The staff manage all situations professionally and sensitively and it is evident how much they care for the children.
The children are outside regularly and my daughter is often found running around happily playing with the other children and toys – something I think is extremely important to her wellbeing.
This is one of the most friendly and welcoming nurseries I have encountered and my daughter has progressed so much during her time there – I can’t recommend it enough.

March 20, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son started at Camelot Day Nursery when he was just 5 months old & he now attends their after school & holiday club.
The staff are amazing. They always make him feel so welcome and encourage him to do new things. They are very approachable and are keen for parents input on new ideas.
I feel very comfortable leaving my son in their care. I wouldn’t want him to be anywhere else. Thank you, Camelot for everything you do. Carry on with the good work 🙂

April 5, 2018 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Camelot since she was 13 months and is now in their pre-school, so she has been through all their rooms. We picked Camelot because it felt so homely and nurturing. The staff are always friendly and supportive and the children always seem happy or well comforted which was especially important in the first months getting her settled. She loves going and always seems stimulated and obviously had a lot of fun. As she has moved up to pre-school, I can see the change as they are introducing some of the behaviours that will be expected at school which I think will make the transition much easier. She was a very shy child and has gained so much confidence since starting at Camelot. They have also just hired a trained chef so meals are excellent and my fussy eater is finally getting some veg.

July 16, 2018 at 12:00 amI am very happy I decided to send my son to this nursery. Staff are very friendly and he is always happy going there. Never had an issue!

July 16, 2018 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Camelot Day nursery since January and I couldn’t be happier.
The nursery is always clean and inviting when the children arrive for the day and my daughter goes off happily with a smile on her face.
The range of activities the children partake in each day is extensive, with sensory play, imaginary play, storytime and outdoor play. The children also do french lessons on rotation.
The menu is delicious with freshly cooked meals each day. My daughter can be a very fussy eater but the staff at Camelot have got her eating things that she never would before.
Communication with the nursery is excellent with a full report sent home each evening informing the parents of the activities that day, the meals that were on offer and how much your child ate at each meal.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Camelot Day nursery to anyone in Chelmsford looking for a nursery placement for their child.

July 17, 2018 at 12:00 amI really love this nursery. My daughter as well. She’s very happy with the staff and all the things that she does. When she is there I know she is in safe!

July 17, 2018 at 12:00 amOur child has been attending Camelot since one year old and she is about to start in the pre-school group this September.
The nursery provides a daily update on the activities undertaken and every day the children are stimulated with interesting games and have fun playing in the well designed and equipped garden/outside space. The food is fresh, varied and nutritious, prepared daily on the premises by a qualified chef and also the children have cooking classes led by the chef.
There are regular parents evenings where we are actively encouraged to discuss any concerns/issue that we have in mind and also to put forward any suggestions.
There is lots of thought and emphasis placed on making children feel happy and content with the key caregivers being assigned to each child from the start and the children get to know them very well.
Our child is always excited to go to nursery and she likes and talks often about her teachers and what she has been doing during the day.

July 17, 2018 at 12:00 amOn first viewing Camelot back in 2014, I knew it was the right nursery for my daughter. The staff ensured that my daughter’s transition into nursery was as smooth as possible for both of us, the care and love they demonstrated to all children reassured me that my child would be safe. Four year later and she is about to leave the pre school and her sister has since started too. In every single room the staff have being brilliant, they’re fun, caring, warm, focus on what is best for your child and always professional. I’m amazed at how much they’ve learnt – it really is fantastic.
Both of my daughters are excited on nursery days and run into their rooms without a second glance to me, that to me says it all.

July 17, 2018 at 12:00 amVery happy with the care provided to my two children at Camelot Day Nursery. The team are attentive and show genuine passion for children. The setting is vibrant and stimulating, and there is always a happy and positive atmosphere. My children love attending and love the staff and the variety of activities they create.
Highly recommended.

July 17, 2018 at 12:00 amMy two love it at Camelot, they are eager to go in the morning and have clearly had fun when I collect them. The information provided on their day is great and it’s really lovely to see pictures of them as they enjoy the development experiences the staff provide. I am relaxed and confident that they are being well cared for by the staff, often the staff get more cuddles than I do at home time!

July 17, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son has settled in extremely well and has formed lovely relationships with the members of staff which was quite important as he attends full time. The staff are always very helpful and are making sure that the daily activities are varied and suitable to the needs of the children. The nursery also organises various events which are a great way of socialising with other parents. I strongly recommend the nursery as the dedication and care given are exceptional.

July 17, 2018 at 12:00 amMy 2 boys are at Camelot Day Nursery my youngest has autism and the nursery has been absolutely amazing with him he has come on leaps and bounds since being at the nursery I was so pleased with the nursery that I pulled my eldest out of his current nursery and sent him to Camelot.

July 17, 2018 at 12:00 amI am very happy with mini merlins where my daughter attends 2 afternoons a week.
One particular staff member is lovely and my daughter is always happy to see her when I drop her off.
All the staff are friendly and helped me feel at ease about putting my first child under 1 year into childcare, which was a big worry for me!
The manager has been very helpful and I am so glad that I chose this nursery for my daughter.
I would definitely recommend Camelot and have done to other mothers in the area.

July 23, 2018 at 12:00 amMy daughter attended Camelot in the nursery for 6 months before moving into the preschool in the room next door.
She thoroughly enjoys her days there and loves the staff.
lace is clean and secure and the communication between the nursery and parents is of a very high standard. In summary, I cannot recommend this place enough.

May 14, 2019 at 12:00 amExcellent. My daughter has enjoyed every day she has attended Camelot, from 9 months old to 3 1/2, the age she is now. The staff are amazing and love and care for the children like a parent. The communication is great and all the activities are planned with attention to detail. I would recommend Camelot to anyone that would listen. Thank you, everyone, at Camelot.
