October 27, 2017 at 12:00 amGreat nursery, staff are very friendly. I like that it’s small so has a more personal, family feel. Lovely outside area.

November 6, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter started this wonderful nursery in July 2017. As parents, we were very anxious and nervous to leave our daughter as we have always managed childcare between me and my partner.
Our daughter settled in within a couple of months, thanks to the amazing team at Harlequin. I went through the expected stages with my daughter where she would cry as soon as we entered the nursery, days where I had to just give her to the staff whilst she was upset, to now where I leave her smiling with a kiss and goodbye from her.
The manager and staff have always supported me and my daughter, and have gone above and beyond to help my daughter settle in.

September 6, 2018 at 12:00 amAfter visiting many nurseries luckily we managed to have a look around Harlequin Nursery. Instantly it felt friendly and welcoming. It has a fantastic outside play area, with many things to keep your child super busy. Inside there are many many different games, toys and learning activities. There is a great range of different foods for every meal. All the staff are very professional and easy to approach with any questions you may have. My son absolutely loves it and to me, that is the highest recommendation.

December 5, 2018 at 12:00 amHarlequin is a fantastic nursery who make sure my child is safe, happy and well cared for. There are a good range of activities, lots of time outdoors and the food is excellent!

December 10, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son loves going to Harlequin. The staff are very welcoming and involve me frequently along the way. When I was choosing a place for my son to go I was sold on my first visit. The manager has been fantastic from the very first day. My son hated being away from when he first joined and the team helped me and my son get past this. He has grown to love going to nursery and enjoys spending time with his new friends and his carers. I trust the team wholeheartedly.

July 7, 2020 at 12:00 amThere was no doubt that I would send my youngest child to Harlequin after her older sister enjoyed her time there so much.
The staff are very welcoming, and my daughter has a fantastic relationship with them all. They take great care of the children, and the food is varied and nutritious. The environment is safe and fun with plenty of time spent outdoors.
Both my daughters have really enjoyed their time at Harlequin, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone else.

June 1, 2021 at 12:00 amThis nursery is everything a parent needs for their child. Well trained staff and great management who stop at nothing to promote all aspects of development a child needs. My daughter has met all targeted developments that where set when she first started. Staff are very well mannered and welcoming to the nursery. The past year has been very difficult for everyone due to the pandemic, however the staff here have done all they can to ensure that they provide the best for the children and their families. I am a key worker and the accommodation here has been superb. Overall, the five star rating speaks for itself.

July 13, 2021 at 12:00 amWe have just moved out of Huddersfield and can honestly say one of the biggest things we miss about it is Harlequin. Our 3 year old who attended Harlequin from the age of 1 has gained and learned so much from being there. The staff cared for her so well, like their own. They work incredibly hard and are clearly very dedicated to the job. The nursery itself is very homely and cosy – a real conducive environment for children to be in. We would highly recommend Harlequin to those in the area and would count ourselves very lucky if our daughter’s new nursery is just as good!

August 25, 2021 at 12:00 amIn September our son starts school and we have to say goodbye to this lovely nursery. The nursery is small and very much a home from home. The outside provision is brilliant and every day our son comes home happy but grubby after playing and learning in the forest.
The staff are very dedicated and with the nursery being small they all know the children and their personalities.
My child’s key worker has developed both his learning and self-confidence. He has made excellent progress at nursery and has a good foundation for starting school.
The current manager has been very accommodating of my requests and fully understands the needs of working parents.
To sum up I would fully recommend Harlequin Nursery, although the best recommendation comes from my son who eagerly goes through the gate each morning, full of excitement about the day ahead.
