Kid Ease, Swingfield House

My grandson, now aged 14 months has attended Swingfield House for a year. He was very tiny when he started but as a family we were reassured by the small and relaxed baby room and by the confidence of the staff. He was looked after as an individual and his own routine was followed.
His development has been supported by the nursery and he loves coming. We never have any tears as he is always happy to go to his key person and when he is collected we always hear stories about his day and take home photographs and pictures of what he has been up to.
The nursery has become an extension of family and the love he has for staff is clear as is the love shown to him in return.
I couldn’t be happier with this nursery.

My daughter has been attending the setting since Feb 2014. She settled at nursery in no time as the staff were so supportive and helpful. Today she is such a confident and caring little girl and most of the credit for it goes to the girls at nursery. I have found the staff so approachable which I think every parent looks for. The key person approach work really well as there is always a designated person who is looking after your child’s needs, worries and records their development. I really like the natural look and feel of the nursery and also very impressed with the variety of Child-led and Adult-led experiences they do at nursery. These experiences have not only helped my child have fun but also learn, reason and develop at the same time. I was recommended this nursery as safeguarding and childcare is their priority. Every single member of their team is doing a great job, I would like to thank them in supporting and helping me in this journey of my child’s development.

Congratulations on being judged ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted. As a teacher I know how hard the staff will have worked to get that rating! My granddaughter loves going to nursery and although she is quite quiet and reserved she is learning new skills every day. Apart from the standard reading, writing, spelling and number skills, she is developing her social skills. She has the opportunity to cook, learn French, practice yoga, dance, and explore her talents. She gets a filling, nutritious meal every time she goes and is much less fussy about her food than she was when she started! The staff are amazing and always make us feel so welcome and my granddaughter has her own key worker who monitors her progress and reports to me what she has done when I collect her. The atmosphere is warm and nurturing and the safeguarding procedures are excellent. Carry on the good work everyone and thank you for giving my granddaughter such a lovely introduction to education.
