Fox House Day Nursery

My daughter started at this nursery aged eight months for one day per week, building up to three days a week aged sixteen months. Next month, aged three, she will attend five days a week. Like most parents, I did a lot of searching and visiting nurseries and childminders in preparation for going back to work and I was struggling to find somewhere that felt right for our little one. (I mean no disrespect to any other childcare services in the area. It is a very personal decision and sometimes an emotional process). Fox House Day Nursery is a small nursery, whose staff are dedicated, caring and who, in our experience, listen to and support the parents of the children in their care. Our daughter is excelling in her social and academic development, and while my husband and I of course focus on this at home too, the nursery nurtures this on a daily basis.

I know the Ofsted rating was reduced from good (which it was when our daughter started there) to satisfactory; and I also know how upsetting that was for the staff and how hard they have all worked to improve the standards. It is visible for all to see. My personal opinion is that I would be very surprised if anything less than a good rating were given at the next inspection and I would not hesitate in sending another child of mine to this lovely, little nursery.
