Fox Hollies Nursery

My child started the nursery in September 2018. She is now 10 months old and I feel is very happy with her attending the nursery. Staff are warm and welcoming and have the best interests for my child. They inform me daily of her progress and activities she has completed. I would recommend Fox Hollies nursery to family and friends.

The overall experience my child has received in the setting is really good. Improved on speech, interested in reading and learning about new books. Potty trained within a few months of attending nursery. The nursery is lacking in resources and money spent to make it a nicer environment to attend. Resources need to be spent on improvement in learning and materials.

When my daughter started to attend the nursery I was terrified to take her because she was crying so badly, I was thinking about whether to stop taking her.
With all the amazing skills she started to get better and now she is happy to go to nursery. The staff were very helpful and supportive. She learned a lot since she has been there, she counts and sings new songs every day, she knows shapes and much more.
I am grateful to all the staff for their impact and I strongly recommend the nursery to others as I have a happy child.

Both of my children attend Fox Hollies Nursery. The staff team in the preschool room are supportive and developmental in my child’s learning. Support is visible through one to one learning and workshops that my child finds stimulating and exciting. My other child in the baby room has had a positive start to his nursery experience. Support is given with food, sleep and play. The family app allows us to see observation experiences and the day to day schedule of both children. I would highly recommend the nursery based on the staff teams care, experience and support to my children at these crucial stages, thank you.

Everyone in the bathroom has supported me and helped settle my daughter into nursery. Always happy to listen to any concerns, but also offer advice and help, especially useful when you’re a first-time mum! I have seen my daughter come on leaps and bounds since starting her development is a credit to the care and attention she receives from one staff. They are genuinely invested in the children and I couldn’t be happier that my child goes here. They have also happily catered to my daughters’ meat-free dietary requirements and use of reusable nappies.

I have sent my child to this nursery for more than one year and I am very impressed with his learning. He has learnt a lot from a young age.

We placed our 1-year-old son into this nursery, it was a difficult decision to make as we the mum and dad become very optimistic about placing him into any nurseries. We explored all the local ones within the area and this one stood out a lot. It was during COVID so we were restricted to what we were allowed to see within the 4 walls of the nursery. We were greeted by the baby room manager and was introduced to the room team leader who both are very fantastic at what they do, we couldn’t really see anything inside so we were reliant on making our decision with how the staff was. I can now say 6 months later that it was probably one of the best choices we made I can not emphasize enough. The staff are fantastic my son loves nursery in the time he’s been there he’s learnt a lot, how to walk, talk, eat by himself. His development is by far further than if he hadn’t had gone to this nursery. We are so thankful to the staff who have made our son become who he is today, thank you so much.

Very happy with the nursery. Staff very attentive and friendly. My child loves to go there. The only thing is that he has constant problems with his stomach and his poo is too loose so he spends more time at home than in the nursery and we still need to pay full price.

I am really pleased with the set-up here at Fox Hollies. My child loves coming here and is very settled. It’s lovely to see her do different activities as well as receiving updates on Family app.

Fox Hollies is a good day nursery, it’s nice I get to see what my child eats throughout the day, from time to time the teachers upload pictures of the activities they have done, and you have a great eco-garden which I know my child loves. The teachers are all very friendly and helpful and when asked about my child’s performance that day, are always informative and are able to provide an update. What I would like to see more of is what educational activities they do during the day (i.e drawing, painting, numbers or even playing with toys). It would be nice if they have done a drawing that day for them to bring it home and explain to me what they have done or made.
I understand the day nursery is very busy, but I think the flexibility could be improved on (I.e being able to swap days in advance or have an additional day).
