Marks Gate Nursery & Pre-School

My kids have the most amazing time at Marks Gate Nursery, they develop in so many ways, they’re growing independent and free-thinking.
There are very experienced staff who are caring and professional. This nursery is fantastic and we would definitely recommend to others. Thank you so much for everything.

The nursery has been fantastic with my child. He took a long time to settle due to changes at home with building work but despite this, loves being at nursery. The staff paid extra attention to him to help the settling process, played specific games with him and put on extra settling in sessions for him.
Since being at nursery he has grown in confidence with other children and can now sign multiple Makaton signs and understand lots of words. I am very impressed with the nursery.

My son loves going to the nursery every day and likes all the staff too. As soon as he walks in, he has a great big smile on his face. The staff are all very friendly and helpful when I have a problem.

Marks Gate Children’s Centre is a very good nursery. My daughter has been attending since 6 months old (now 3 yrs) and absolutely loves it. Her confidence improves daily, play skills, communication skills and overall ability to be independent! Staff are excellent. They are friendly, polite, very helpful and try to accommodate personal circumstances as much as possible.
Would love to see more funding put forward to help upgrade facilities and toys for the children. Staff do their best but lack of funding resources is very noticeable. Funding could help improve overall standards but they try to do a good job regardless.

My child has progressed and seems to be doing extremely well. She is happy and loves to be around the staff who are very approachable and extremely helpful if and when I have needed to speak to them. “Thank you for your fab input into my special girl.”

I recommend this school to everyone I see, my child feels happy and settled at school and I am really pleased with the progress she has made.

Thank you all.

I’m so happy for my son to be in this nursery because it’s the best. I love all the staff and it’s clean. My son has learnt so many things. The only thing I can say is to thank you so much to everyone who do the best with the children.

I definitely love this nursery for the clean environment and friendly and caring teachers. I will certainly say that since my son started nursery here, his physical and social activities and interaction to others has developed and even my son is always more than happy to be at school. Teachers are really caring and understanding towards both parents and children.

I am very happy with the service given at Marks Gate Nursery. My daughter is very happy to come into the nursery. The activities are exciting and inviting. The staff are friendly and spend time with the children carrying out different activities. My daughter likes to explore messy play within the nursery, she sometimes comes home with paint and other messy play on her, but she is very happy within the nursery. Management are approachable and friendly.

My daughter has improved in confidence and speech while at her nursery.

My children have been going to this nursery since 2015. The nursery is exceptional, the staff are very nice, they are always smiling even though they are under much pressure with children crying, noise but they continue to smile.
They don’t allow the pressure to show on them. This is what I call professional. The staff in baby room are always energetic. Changes happen in the nursery, by changing staff around to different departments, although most people do like changes but really it does help and make a big difference.
Staff try their best to get all children involved in activities. Nursery staff and manager are well trained. Review of children are always done on time and when necessity warrant.

My son joined Marks Gate nursery in September with no interaction skills, he did not like playing with/near other children. The staff were so good at helping him settle. He now loves the nursery and has excelled in every element.

This is the best nursery that I have found for my son and he loves it here so much and I have seen a big improvement with him since he has been coming. The staff are wonderful and kind I would definitely recommend this nursery to any other parent. I feel safe to leave my son here and I know he will be safe. I have never seen my son get up so happy in the morning and go to the nursery and not want to leave when picking him up. He has improved so much whilst there I wish I found the nursery sooner. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents its clean and the food is good, always hot and so to are the healthy snacks for kids.

My daughter has been going here for 2 and a bit years. Her development has been amazing, she loves all the staff and has made friends who she talks about all the time. The staff have all been fantastic! They are very understanding, friendly, caring towards the children. I am very happy I chose this nursery.

Amazing nursery, my child has come out with confidence and amazing speech since being at Marks Gate Nursery.
This nursery is clean and has a sanitising station even outside the door and make sure the kids wash hands before any activities to stop the spread.
Just amazing!

I only have good things to say about this exceptional nursery. From the day our daughter settled into nursery until this day she is always up-to exciting stuff at the nursery. Staff have been amazing at working so hard through this pandemic with the extra precautions such as weekly Covid tests for the staff and continue to do so by teaching and supporting the children at the nursery as much as they can. I am always delighted to see what things my daughter is upto using the ParentZone app. Well done to all the staff members at Marks Gate! You are all doing a great job and we are very proud to call you our daughter’s nursery.

My son and I love this nursery. He is 3 years old now and has been going here for about 2 years. The staff are brilliant, the food is healthy and my son loves it, and it’s a caring supportive environment. They are invested in his development and wellbeing and have been a great support in helping with potty training. He has learned a lot there and he loves going. I really feel that they put in a lot of effort, and they truly care about each child. They know my son and enjoy spending time with the children. I always see them playing with the children and hear the children laughing when I walk by. I’ve never had any issues and appreciate that I can leave my son with good caring people while I get to work.

My son and I love this nursery. He is 22 months now and has been going here for about 1 year. The staff are brilliant, the food is healthy and my son loves it, and it’s a caring supportive environment. They are invested in his development and wellbeing and have been a great support in helping with speech

My son has been attending for over 6 months now and seems to love it. The staff are friendly and informative about his day, they seem to know him very well and he is familiar and speaks well of them. They upload pictures in an app and you can see that they do lots of activities and create a fun environment for the children. I feel comfortable leaving him there and he is becoming more confident and independent as time goes on. 100% would recommend.

The staff have been amazing and friendly in looking after each and every child that has been to the nursery. Such a friendly community and made everyone feel welcome when coming through their doors. My grandson will be sad to be leaving and loves each and every nursery staff who looked after him while being at the nursery.

My son just finished the nursery and at the end of his school, he was really upset that he needs to leave and start a new adventure. My child has come out with confidence and wonderful memories. The staff are brilliant and always helpful. We will definitely miss the Marks Gate Nursery team and thank you for everything you did for my son.
