Keele University Day Nursery

My little boy has been attending the nursery for fifteen months now and has come on in leaps and bounds. He has an excellent relationship with all the staff he interacts with and I feel he is very well supported every day! He looks forward to seeing his key-worker every day and I am happy he feels safe and secure whilst he is in their care.

I currently I have one child at Keele Day Nursery and previously my eldest son attended.
The carers are key for me, my son spends four days a week at nursery so it’s so important that he likes who is looking after him.
I am always informed should he hurt himself and he is dealt with in the correct manner.
They even go out of their way to help with behavioural issues at home by producing a sticker chart.
There are so many activities for them to do during the day and they do encourage them to use up to date technology on the computer and the big tablet.
I would 100% recommend Keele to anyone that was looking for a nursery.

Where do I begin? I had two children at this nursery, they were both ten months when they started and stayed until they started primary school so this fantastic place was a huge part of our lives. I knew from the very first time I visited that this place was something special. My children bounced into the nursery four days a week and they absolutely loved it. They were extremely well cared for, my son’s speech and language referral came from the nursery which enabled him to get the support he needed, they learnt lots of new skills, ate like a king and queen and enjoyed lots of activities at nursery and on little field trips, they made good friends along the way.
The staff are absolutely fantastic and they very well lead by the manager, she runs a tight ship and it shows. I always feel very proud to recommend this nursery. My children being here allowed me to go back into work and not worry and I will always be very grateful of that.

I have used this nursery for both my sons, one has now gone to school. The facilities, service and staff are first class and my children have progressed so well thanks to all the staff. It is such a nice environment on the Keele University campus, the nursery manager is brilliant. We visited other nurseries when looking and none of them compared to the whole package that Keele Nursery provides. The learning environment is great and getting notifications on the app whilst you are at work is lovely to see what the children get up to.

My daughter started attending Keele Nursery just before she was one, I have nothing but praise and positive comments.
She has enjoyed her time in each classroom getting to know the different staff, making new friends, learning new activities, having fun and being happy!
Staff are lovely and approachable, very informative and keep you up to date with your child’s progress. A good professional and well-managed team.
My daughter has made so much progress, she is keen to learn and loves sharing with us what she has learnt at nursery. She has learnt to care, share and is encouraged to be polite and respectful. Her confidence has grown and she is a happy little individual. The nursery has played a big part in helping her become who she is today.
She will be leaving soon to go to school and we as a family appreciate all the nursery has provided her and us with and will be sad when the time comes for her to leave.
We would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you Keele Day Nursery.

Literally can’t imagine a better place to leave my children. Management are very accommodating and an atmosphere of genuine care amongst all staff. It’s a modern, purpose-built space that feels bright and spacious. We feel lucky to have found somewhere that made it so easy to leave our children for the first time.

Keele University Day Nursery was recommended to me by a couple of friends and I would definitely recommend it. My daughter started at the nursery a few months ago and she has settled in really well mainly due to the staff who have all been fantastic and very supportive. Everyone is very caring, professional and really friendly. The facilities are very modern and clean and there always seems to be a lovely atmosphere. Apart from having lots of fun, my daughter is always learning new skills and seems to be progressing very well in all aspects. I love getting the regular updates and pictures of my daughter’s activities on the online portal, she is always doing something new. Considering the size of the nursery, it doesn’t feel as big as it is as the staff including the manager are very personable and have the greatest attention to detail. It has been a big weight off my shoulders going back to work knowing my daughter is content and extremely happy at nursery.

A big thank you to everyone!

After visiting a number of local nurseries, I was so impressed at Keele!
Firstly, by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, especially their understanding of leaving your child in their care and secondly by the wonderful access to outside space!
The security of access in and out of the building was very reassuring too.
The settling in process was perfect and more for parents than children, but I was never made to feel silly for my worries.
Of course, I needn’t have any worries, my little girl loved going to nursery, playing with the toys and chatting with the staff.
There were always lots of activities and seasonal activities as well as parent updates through the online system.
It was a brilliant three years and we were sad to leave but have also made use of the Klub House in school holidays!

Both my daughters have attended this nursery – one from age 6 months and one from age 12 months.
In my experience, it has always provided excellent care and the staff have been absolutely amazing. It is very well managed and any concerns that you do have are swiftly addressed and you are welcome to pop into her office and have a chat anytime if you feel the need. The lady on reception is also amazing and she is very knowledgeable and helpful.
The staff at Keele Day Nursery take care to accommodate the needs of the individual children and take into account their individual interests when planning activities. The activities and menu are varied and I feel my daughters have a good time here.
Parents are well informed via regular Tapestry updates about your child specifically and a regular newsletter about what is happening at the nursery in general.

I have 2 children who attend the nursery and they provide excellent care. Both my children love it and even run down the corridor to the room. Feedback is provided after every session and they are always on hand if I need advice.
