March 19, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has attended the nursery since a baby and throughly enjoys going. He has a really good relationship with the staff and I feel he’s very well cared for. We enjoy seeing the pictures and observations on the app of the exciting activities he does!

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amA fantastic nursery, super friendly, educational, fun and great meals. My daughter absolutely loves it! Would recommend one hundred percent. We are going to seriously miss it once she starts primary school. Thank you so much to everyone at hdc Darmouth.

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter goes to nursery here, she’s now twenty months old and she absolutely loves it. She always had so much fun and is learning lots of new things fast. We also get updates throughout the day via the app about what she’s been up to, what she has eaten and if she has slept. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. I would one hundred percent recommend, thank you for everything you do!

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amhdc Darmouth is a very special place. The staff show incredible kindness and care towards both of my children and they have relentless positivity and enthusiasm! It is clear that my daughter absolutely adores her key worker and when recently talking to my honest three year old son, he told me that he always wants to go to nursery with his key worker! Communication via the app is excellent, we feel very well informed by the detailed and regular updates and photos we receive. The management at hdc Dartmouth is helpful and very responsive. In summary, hdc Dartmouth is a fantastic nursery!

April 15, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son loves going to nursery. The staff are friendly and professional. The aesthetics are fun, educational and do lots of things that we don’t do at home. I would highly recommend hdc Dartmouth.

December 3, 2021 at 12:00 amHdc Dartmouth is a very good nursery. My daughter has come a long way since joining and loves attending. The staff and management are very informative, helpful and always keep parents up to date on events, children’s progress, sleep, eating etc. which I like. The food menu is amazing with a variety of different food available. My daughter loves being outside and she is able to be this at nursery which I think is really good.

June 15, 2022 at 12:00 amI can’t recommend this nursery highly enough. Both our kids have been at hdc Dartmouth
since they were younger than one and the staff have been consistently caring, responsive, thoughtful and creative. The activities they do there are great – lots of messy and outdoor play. The staff are always ready to meet the children where they are and develop a learning and caring plan that’s best for them.

November 8, 2022 at 12:00 amStaff turnover is reasonably high, but they are always friendly. Nutritionally there is over usage of bulky products such as legumes and the day-to-day menu isn’t particularly varied.
Outdoor and indoor spaces are good and well-used.
I have marked cleanliness as low, the nursery looks clean but the transmission of infection is relatively high.

November 17, 2022 at 12:00 amA very positive nursery environment for my daughter. The varied stimulation really interests my child and these help improve her skills in many areas. Messy play is great as I don’t do this at home. The staff are always very friendly. The option to do half days would be very handy.

November 17, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter started at the beginning of this year at hdc – Dartmouth. They have been absolutely fantastic right the way through from enquiry and admission. The manager and staff have been incredibly helpful and supportive in meeting my child’s additional needs. As a nursery, they are very child focused and provide lots of hands on play and outdoor activities. They are very good at communicating with parents and keeping us updated regularly with observations and developmental progress. I am very happy with this nursery and my daughter absolutely loves it. She is always very happy and the staff are incredible with her.

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amWe’ve been delighted with hdc Dartmouth. Our daughter loves being there, and all the staff have been wonderful with her. They helped her settle really easily, and she’s so excited to go in the morning, which is wonderful to see. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amIt’s a lovely nursery. Always feel welcomed by the staff when we come to pick our granddaughter up. She loves it up there with all the staff and children. She talks to us about staff and that she has been playing with the boys and girls.

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amOur child has been in the baby and toddler room. The team have always been very caring and really seem to enjoy the work and being around the children. The activities are wide ranging and fun, the facilities are good.

January 18, 2023 at 12:00 amI was a German exchange officer in Dartmouth and my daughter enjoyed hdc Dartmouth Day Nursery for two and a half years. The staff always acted highly professionally and politely. My daughter had surgery following hearing problems and hdc set up a special individual programme to further enhance her bilingual development. When we left Dartmouth, English was her primary language thanks to the whole of the strong performing nursery staff. Especially the use of the app is absolutely state of the art and the German nursery she is going to now doesn’t even consider a digitalised option like this. The key worker principle made perfect sense and the way how it was executed helped us extremely well to raise our daughter in these two and a half years abroad. The timings are super flexible and the staff always found a way to integrate my daughter straight away each day. This nursery is definitely our top recommendation and the goodbye situation there was the only one that made me cry when we left the UK.

May 17, 2023 at 12:00 amAll the girls at hdc Dartington are all welcoming, supportive and caring. I would highly recommend the nursery to my friends and family.
My son enjoys spending his time at nursery and always comes home with a smile on his face.

May 17, 2023 at 12:00 amJust a lovely place with a very caring workforce. Always blown away by the rate of learning my child displays and how happy and comfy he is in and around hdc Dartington. Excited to be sending my second child there in a few months.
