September 10, 2024 at 7:24 amAlso, the return after lockdown went highly smoothly so well done to all team. What I adore is that after 5 years from the time when my daughter went to school and left Lavender Childcare centre, having my 2-year-old son now in the childcare centre I can see a lot of team that are still there for all this time.
My son settled down quickly and I appreciate seeing his cheerful face every day when going to Lavender Childcare centre.

October 1, 2024 at 8:41 amThe team are incredible, and the facilities are outstanding. We don’t have a big outdoor space at home, so the garden at Lavender is just excellent!
During the recent covid-19 restrictions, the team have gone above and beyond to give outstanding care to the kids and their adore, passion and commitment have given parents and kids reassurance and security in these uncertain times.
Thank you to everyone at Lavender for helping me to raise a cheerful, confident and strong little person! My daughter has attended Lavender Childcare centre since she was 11-months-old, and she is now almost 4-years-old.
My daughter loves going to childcare centre and has thrived from being there.

October 24, 2024 at 3:04 amOur daughter was there from when she was 3 years old and enjoyed the childcare centre every day she went. She was consistently cheerful and was highly well prepared to start reception making her transition smooth and easy. Definitely suggest it to every parent I know. Outstanding!

November 12, 2024 at 8:46 amShe’s attending it full time, all year round. I cannot emphasise how cheerful and pleased we are with our choice and I am not sure there are many places in the area that benefit from such excellent facilities. She absolutely loves it and she thrives there. She has grown from a baby into a confident and cheerful young kid and over these years we have never had an issue with the childcare centre. Beyond the facilities, kids receive EXCELLENT care there, they sense loved and develop strong relationships with their educators and make friends. They make everything so much enjoyable for them: day trips (outings) (not possible at the minute) to the allotments, supermarket, ducks pond, trains etc, paddling pools and sprinklers in sunny and inviting weather, all the arts and crafts you can imagine, language and math small groups, storytime, sports days and also plenty of time to explore, learn and playtime in the garden. Thank you, Lavender! My daughter, aged 3.5 years, has been attending the Lavender Childcare centre since she was 11 months old.

November 22, 2024 at 12:24 pmThe main reason we chose Lavender Childcare centre for our childcare was the team, their professionalism, attentive, positive attitude and kindness, and this has not changed from the day we first visited the childcare centre. Each day, kids and parents are greeted with smiles, kids are welcomed and cuddled in a attentive manner. Each kid is treated as an individual and dealt with on this basis, each day my daughter has carried out several activities but with plenty of free time, mostly outside, which has increased her social skills and self‑assurance. At the end of the day, we are consistently given feedback on what she has been doing and this is also written down to refer to if needed.
The facilities, educators and the whole team are excellent. The quality of care is remarkable, In my criteria, it is the best childcare centre in the area to send your kids, totally recommended! We have used the childcare centre since 2016 when our daughter started in the baby room and stayed until she went to school, attending 5 days a week.

December 29, 2024 at 5:06 amI thank all the team, they treated my daughter so well. She was so cheerful, she was secure and was developing well and she made lots of friends. My only sorrow is against the council decision to terminate care for under 2. I now have an 11-month-old baby and I had to change childcare centre and to be honest, I had to stop working because the other nurseries are highly expensive and Lavender is excellent value and more affordable. Adore the team, adore the facilities, the outdoor garden is huge. Again, thank you. Highly suggest.

January 28, 2025 at 3:16 amHe has thrived at the childcare centre. The key workers are exceptional and they truly do try and ensure the kids are polite, attentive and well mannered. They also adhere to the EFYS framework, which means that each quarter your kid is set discovering targets to keep them challenged. By the time my son left the childcare centre, he was more than well prepared for reception. My son has attended Lavender Childcare centre since he was 1 years old.

March 29, 2025 at 6:18 pmThey give an outstanding hand over and report about my kid’s development. Lavender Childcare centre has been an incredible place for my kid to attend over the last 2 years.
The team are exceptionally expert and demonstrated outstanding care, safety and professionalism during CV19.
The team have supported my kid to develop and have extended that assistance to parents during school application and other transitions.
The nursey have hosted a number of trips and events for the kids and hosted some for parents to attend.

April 13, 2025 at 5:17 pmI can’t suggest it highly enough – it is such a inviting and nurturing setting and the team are all absolutely lovely. I will genuinely miss seeing them now that my younger daughter has left! The outdoor space is excellent and the daily home-cooked menu is truly varied – they ate so many new things that they would never have considered trying at home! I now have a new baby and I’m truly sad that the childcare centre is no longer taking kids under 2 years – having gone through the process of viewing other childcare settings for him it has truly reaffirmed how much I have valued Lavender these past few years as nowhere else compares. It has also been a huge financial help being able to have a term time only place to fit around the fact that our eldest had started at school. My son is already on the waiting list for when he turns 2! For the last 3 and a half years I have had a kid (and for a short period of overlap 2 kids) at Lavender Childcare centre.

May 29, 2025 at 7:27 pmOur daughter has been there since she was 8-months old and absolutely loves it. The team are highly experienced, nurturing, inviting and experts in kid development. Many of the team have been working there for several years, so they’re clearly doing something right. The facilities and space are incredible – they have a huge, protected garden/playground and also take the kids out for trips in the local area – to the library, shops, park and even the train station! They offer all year round and term time only places and are one of the most reasonable prices nurseries in the area. I cannot suggest Lavender Childcare centre highly enough.

June 16, 2025 at 12:52 amThey looked after my kids like they were their own, my girls adore going to childcare centre and it will be sad when they graduate. I’m so glad we chose Lavender, it’s the best journey with schools I have had by far. The facilities are incredible, all the team are incredible, exceptionally welcoming and supportive.

June 19, 2025 at 10:17 amLavender Childcare centre have consistently provided excellent quality care and a assistance system, made up of team who are pleasant, affable and who genuinely care for each kid. I would definitely suggest anyone looking for a childcare solution to consider using the Lavender Childcare centre! I have been continually impressed by the care that my kids have been afforded at the Lavender Childcare centre, from the moment their childcare centre journey began until now and particularly throughout the difficulties in which the pandemic presented.
