April 6, 2021 at 12:00 amI’ve been very impressed with the care at hdc Newton Abbot. My daughter started there last year at the age of nine months and I found it to be a very warm and supportive environment for her. She settled in well and I love seeing what she gets up to, with the daily summary and photos on the app. I’d really recommend it.

April 6, 2021 at 12:00 amWe found this nursery when our existing one burnt down. Our son was two at the time and had been settled into his previous nursery for a while, so we were extremely anxious about having to move him. We need not have worried. He was welcomed into hdc Newton Abbot immediately. The staff are warm, caring and passionate about what they do. We had no trouble settling our son and he is always keen to get through the doors in the morning. Now his little sister has joined too! The manager is always on top of things, often responding late in the evening to my last minute addition requests.

April 6, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my son and daughter have really enjoyed their hdc Newton Abbot experience. They have both always been happy to go into nursery each morning. They enjoy a variety of activities and we have been impressed by the effort that the staff go to to respond to the children’s interests and to develop a range of different activities around the favoured theme. The staff are always caring, welcoming and attentive. We have found that all the key workers have always made an effort to form a strong bond with our children. We have also found that the preschool room was good preparation for school for our daughter who settled in very easily this September after her time at hdc Newton Abbot.

April 7, 2021 at 12:00 amI highly recommend Humpty Dumpty Newton Abbot. All the staff are friendly, welcoming and caring. I feel that they know my child very well, especially my child’s key worker, and my child talks really positively about her time here! Nothing is too much trouble and any query is always responded to quickly, no matter how small! The app is great for all communication and it is lovely to read the information and see photos of what my child has been doing each day. The children often go on trips to the local park to get out and about. The optional early start from 7.30am is great to allow for flexibility in getting to work early.

April 7, 2021 at 12:00 amTwo of our children started at hdc Newton Abbot in 2019 and our third child is due to start this month. We chose hdc Newton Abbot for a number of reasons for example, the central location and easy drop off and pick up, the opening hours and the facilities and activities available. Our number one reason for choosing this nursery was their openness and acceptance of our disabled son. He was welcomed wholeheartedly into the nursery, staff attended meetings relating to his care, accepted training from health professionals relating to his needs and adapted activities to ensure he was properly included alongside his friends. We receive regular feedback from staff about our children’s progress and development which has been really helpful. Both of our children have been cared for amazingly at hdc Newton Abbot and we did not think twice about enrolling our third son at hdc Newton Abbot too. I would very much recommend hdc Newton Abbot.

April 12, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter had a wonderful time at this nursery and made some excellent relationships with staff and peers alike. I’ve always been particularly fond of the healthy dinners and snacks, they sound delicious! Highly recommend. Such a lovely bunch! Thank you for all you do.

May 6, 2021 at 12:00 amSince my little one has been coming here, about two years now, he has developed so much and his confidence has grown. There are always chances for us to be involved, they give updates on what books and activities they are currently reading and doing, so you can continue this at home. They provide updates every day on what they have been up to which is great. The nursery is so welcoming and all the staff are so friendly and warming, they make your little one part of the family and get them involved, and they really want to help progress in their learning and development. They have lots of time out in the garden exploring and the meals are very varied, fresh and sound delicious!

November 17, 2022 at 12:00 amAll three grandsons and one granddaughter have spent their early years here (two still attend). They love their time here.
Thank you all.
Has been such a good start to preschool for them all.
They have learnt so much and all of them are much more confident in all they do.

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff are very friendly and welcoming and provide regular updates, which I love seeing. My son hasn’t been going there long, but he settled very quickly and has built great relationships with the staff. He has progressed so much already from being there, and they seem to genuinely care about his well-being and helping him progress.

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amWe love this nursery, it’s well run and well managed. I get updates on the app and the staff are all so friendly and caring.
The price includes meals and nappies so you don’t have to worry about anything other than dropping your child off to have a good time there.

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff are always so friendly and greet my child by name every day. We are kept informed via the app which is a great tool for keeping up with my child’s day and also the general goings on. My child is always so excited to go to nursery, we wouldn’t send them anywhere else.

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amVery friendly staff and have a great range of activities. My daughter is always happy going to and from nursery. Only downside would be the menu. My child isn’t a very good eater and the description regarding how much they ate isn’t very specific so I’m always unsure how much and what she has actually eaten.

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amIt seems a very friendly and caring nursery my granddaughter enjoys her days there and seems very happy.
She enjoys a wide variety of activities and enjoys the food.
The app is very good and keeps us in touch with everything.

November 18, 2022 at 12:00 amOur granddaughter is well cared for by the team. I know the parents receive regular updates on progress and any areas for development. We are able to see what is planned during each week through the app and email contact and can see what activities the little ones are up to. This helps us to generate ideas for play too and keep in step with nursery learning and play.
