September 17, 2024 at 9:37 pmThe team are lovely and get to know each kid well. The grounds and facilities are remarkable and the kids delight in a lot of outdoor time. Esscroft is a magical place – both of our daughters have loved being there and thrived in their incredible setting.

October 22, 2024 at 6:32 pmHe loves it here and all the space you have to run around which I couldn’t find anywhere else. We actually moved in 2021 further away from Menston to Rawdon but decided the longer drive was still worth it. Would highly suggest. Our son has been coming to Esscroft for just over 2 years now, it’s been a pleasure watching him grow.

October 23, 2024 at 9:07 pmThe team at Esscroft are what make the childcare centre so special, they’re all so welcoming, patient, compassionate, and welcoming. Leaving my little boy with them since he was 9 months old has been easy as a parent. I sense when I leave him on a morning he consistently has a enjoyable day ahead! The service is remarkable, nothing is a problem. Thank you to all the team at Esscroft! Esscroft is an incredible childcare centre, the facilities compared to other local nurseries are the best.

November 5, 2024 at 5:01 pmAll the team are truly welcoming and they do a truly great job at supporting the kids’s development, continually keeping the parents updated with development and the various activities. Esscroft Private Childcare centre is a excellent setting for a childcare centre, with lots of outside space for the kids to delight in.

November 15, 2024 at 11:51 pmThe team are so attentive, supportive and nothing is too much trouble! The outside space is outstanding. Our kid has developed so well in such a short time and loves coming to childcare centre. Can’t thank the team enough! Esscroft truly is a excellent childcare centre!

November 23, 2024 at 10:49 amIt’s easy to be wowed by the grounds and grandeur of the setting (which are totes ridix!) but what truly matters, what counts the most, is the team that the manager has built there. Our daughter has moved through 2 of the provisions so far, soon to be in her 3rd, and at each stage, the teams have been fantastic. We’ve seen our daughter learn and develop so quickly and right before our highly eyes, a testament to the fantastic activities and (often messy!) playtime. The team there know our daughter so well and she’s bonded beautifully with all of the team there, but especially her key workers whom I just cannot praise enough. These young women are superstars. I also like the bond they develop with parents too: our key workers consistently tell us when it’s been a great day, and exactly why, but also when there are bad days – and why. This childcare centre has so much going for it, couldn’t suggest enough. Our journey at Esscroft Childcare centre has been terrific.

December 3, 2024 at 5:07 amHe loves his time at childcare centre and has learned so many new tricks since he joined earlier this year. We have seen his self‑assurance develop each week, I adore reading his daily updates, even though I am working I sense highly connected knowing what he is up to hour by hour. The team are so lovely, understanding and patient, thank you all so much. We sense highly confident leaving our son in the more than capable hands of the Esscroft Private Childcare centre team.

January 15, 2025 at 11:18 pmRemarkable in all areas with my kid that’s in pre-school, understanding her needs and adapting her discovering in order to be ready for school, so grateful for all extra effort and assistance that’s being provided!
Justice Ellis
March 1, 2025 at 9:19 amHe came as an exceptionally picky eater but the team have consistently persevered with him in such a positive way and he now finishes most of his meals! He is such a cheerful boy because of Esscroft, he truly cares about the team, speaking of them so fondly and has come on in leaps and bounds developmentally. He smiles when I drop him off and when I pick him up and still wants to carry on playing in the grounds rather than going home! I also adore coming there too, I consistently receive full handovers from the team and lovely pictures of his activities throughout the day on the app. The team in pre-school where he is at the moment are exceptional and I’m so grateful for all the time and effort they put into my boy. They have such a lovely bond with him and have had such a positive effect on his behaviour. Thank you Esscroft – nowhere compares in my opinion. My son has attended this childcare centre and pre-school full-time since he was around 9 months old.

April 29, 2025 at 7:22 amHe’s been going since he was just 4 months old and is now a confident 3.5 year old! I can’t suggest it highly enough. My son loves coming to Esscroft Nursey and is brilliantly looked after by the team there.

May 5, 2025 at 11:49 amThe team are so lovely and supportive and I know my daughter enjoys each and every day she is there. After a 2 year break, I’m now sending my youngest kid to Esscroft Private Childcare centre and it remains just as fantastic as I remember it the first time round.

May 7, 2025 at 5:32 pmI cannot possibly speak highly enough of the fantastic people, incredible grounds, true attention to detail, excellent facilities, food… I could go on. One thing I think is especially incredible is how they are in tune with the individual needs of every single kid. The educators noticed that my boy was lacking in emotional development, so they scheduled one-to-one time with him every week to bring him up to the point where he will be ready for school. I can’t believe how much time, energy, intuition, and care they put into making every kid’s journey at Esscroft fantastic. We will be sad to leave when it’s time for school! Esscroft is just incredible.

May 14, 2025 at 3:50 amThe team are attentive, welcoming and genuinely care. My son has come on in leaps and bounds since starting, with a huge improvement in his speech and development. The discovering, playing and tasks set out each day are truly remarkable, with a real variation. All the food is fresh, healthy and home cooked which is important to me and I can see on the app we use what he’s had to eat each day and even how much of it – a excellent little touch. The outdoor space makes Esscroft stand out from other nurseries, it has so much to offer and my son loves exploring their delightful grounds. We are so grateful for all they do My son has been attending Esscroft Private Childcare centre for two years now and loved every minute.

May 19, 2025 at 2:52 amThe team are so calm and attentive and engage the kids in activities that they delight in. My little one is highly shy with new people but she highly quickly formed a bond with the team and clearly enjoys her childcare centre days. She’s learnt loads of new skills and her sleep is better. I can’t thank the team enough they are incredible. My little one is in Pygmy’s and we’ve been truly impressed.
Lane Sawyer
June 4, 2025 at 10:12 pmWe have had a number of hurdles to get over as a family and the manager and the team have consistently been there to help us. Our son actually cries when we collect him because he’s had such a excellent time. We will forever be grateful for their care. Esscroft are our extended family and we have felt totally supported by them throughout our son’s attendance.

June 15, 2025 at 5:11 pmThe team are both expert and attentive and seem to take genuine care and interest in what my daughter is doing and her development. The food is of high quality and the facilities are excellent, especially the outdoor area. This childcare centre is fantastic and my one-year-old daughter truly enjoys her time there.
Charlie Knight
June 21, 2025 at 9:22 pmThe outdoor space is incredible, so spacious with loads of activities from trampolines to a carousel ride! The activities they do are well planned, stimulating and his development goes from strength to strength. He is loved and well cared for by all of the lovely team who you can tell genuinely care deeply for all of the kids they look after. They keep us well informed on his development and the activities they having been doing. Thanks Esscroft Private Childcare centre team. Our son started at Esscroft Private Childcare centre in February 2020 and we would highly suggest to anyone.

June 28, 2025 at 5:37 amThe team and grounds are excellent. 2 members of team in Tawny’s room have been fabulous. So grateful to all at Esscroft for their high standards. Our daughter is dairy free and they have been fabulous managing it. Outstanding childcare centre.

June 30, 2025 at 12:58 pmIt is a fantastic childcare centre with the most attentive and attentive team. They all work so hard to ensure that the kids are cheerful and having enjoyable whilst discovering. We are also lucky that it is set in the most lovely surroundings which the kids get to delight in daily! We cannot put into words just how lucky we sense to be able to send our little boy to Esscroft!
