Handkerchief Day Nursery

Top marks! From the minute we visited Handkerchief we knew this was the childcare centre for our boy.
Overall appearance, features, rooms, areas, facilities and especially the team truly stood out and still do on a daily basis.
We adore the ethos of Handkerchief and the efforts everybody goes to maintain it, excellent variety of fresh fruit and cooked food on a daily basis, utilising natural, rustic and effective equipment to stimulate all of the kids and modern technology to record, report and keep the parents updated regularly.
Every member of Handkerchief truly is a credit to it in every role they playtime.

The team are remarkable and the facilities are outstanding! From the moment we visited Handkerchief Day Childcare centre we knew it was the one.
Our son is highly cheerful here and developing well.

No plastic toys is another great point. There is a huge garden right next to the baby room and babies can sense nature all the time. My son loves going to childcare centre because all team are lovely and welcoming.

All team are so compassionate and attentive. The food is outstanding and varied and the room and outdoor space is excellent. Excellent family sense childcare centre – my daughter loves it.

However, now this is complete, I sense it is an outstanding area for the kids to be.

I truly like the varied activities the team seem to do with the kids, from pumpkin carving to tasting of lemons etc and sense this will only get better as my kid becomes older.

I would adore more photos to be sent, but understand this is not consistently possible and do appreciate the ones which are sent.

The flexibility of the care team (ie feeding early when an early pick up is required), is excellent and the team are highly supportive and welcoming. The disruption of the extension/building work did cause some initial issues.

The kids have a range of activities every day and I truly like the fact they get them outside as much as possible. The childcare centre has an outstanding forest school and my daughter often comes home with her all in one waterproof muddy, which I consistently think is a great sign of enjoyable!
The team are highly welcoming and supportive and my daughter has consistently loved it there.
The food is cooked on site and there are an outstanding menu and range of food.
The childcare centre also provides all nappies, wipes, cream, sun cream and pain relief which is excellent not having to worry about taking these things in and them running out. The childcare centre provides lovely facilities in a welcoming and welcoming setting.

In those 2 months, he has developed and grown so much!

The team in baby room are incredible, nothing is ever too much trouble. They spend time at both drop off and pick up to ask what has been happening with our son during the days he isn’t there and what he’s been up to during the hours he’s with them.

I adore the app they use to give updates on development – especially the adorable photos.

We travel for up to an hour each way to drop and pick up our son from this childcare centre and we definitely wouldn’t do that if it wasn’t so excellent.
I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest this childcare centre to anyone who asks. Outstanding childcare centre – I cannot fault it.

Our son was 6 months old when he joined this childcare centre and he is currently 8 months old.

Luckily my excitement has continued as she has such a lovely time at every session. The team, the surroundings, the energy, the other pupils just everything is exceptional and what you want from your kid’s childcare centre. I couldn’t sleep the night before my daughter started at Handkerchief because I was just so excited for her to start there.

My little girl started at seven months in the baby room and is now in the Tweenie room so have met team in both rooms. My girl settled highly quickly in both rooms and it’s reassuring I can leave her and she will have a lovely day.
It’s excellent that everything is included and the meals are nice and healthy too. The team at Handkerchiefs are incredible and so lovely with the kids.

She settled in fantastically, the team were truly supportive and welcoming, and I truly felt like she would be treated like one of their family. Now in the Tweenie room, she is still doing truly well and gets the same excellent level of care. They communicate well with me about any issues and have taken on board everything I’ve asked them to regarding my daughter. The childcare centre has excellent facilities, and I particularly like their emphasis on outdoor playtime and am looking forward to when my daughter has access to the Forest School. Since starting in the baby room 8 months ago, my daughter has come along in leaps and bounds.
