July 18, 2018 at 12:00 amThe staff at Mary Poppins are absolutely amazing! Both of my children have been there and it is only because we have moved to Sheffield that we’ve had to make the tough decision to take them both out. They’ve made so many great friends and memories. The staff are friendly and approachable but more than anything understandable. I’d recommend them to all.
Thank you Mary Poppins and both my children and I are going to miss you loads!

July 18, 2018 at 12:00 amMy daughter who has complex needs and my son attend this nursery. My daughter has been there for over two years and my son one year.
The staff are amazing, going out of their way to accommodate my daughter’s needs. She is fed by a tube in her stomach and they continuously strive to achieve everything she needs alongside extra developmental targets set by outside agencies, all without argument. They just do it.
My son absolutely loves going here and is up and raring to get out of the door most mornings.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.
The proof is in the pudding – neither my daughter or son want to come home at the end of the nursery day!

July 18, 2018 at 12:00 amWell what can I say except this nursery is absolutely amazing, my two girls have been going for over 3 years and I’m honestly dreading the day they have to leave. Since the children have been at Mary Poppins, both of our daughters have grown into beautiful, clever children. They’re both very well educated and know the everyday basics on even the simple things, like saying please and thank you and always washing their hands. The staff at Mary Poppins have helped our girls grow and since being there from very young babies, have watched and helped with every step of their development including walking, talking and toilet training. Both children have looked up to the staff and always felt comforted when attending. The nursery overall is very clean, the food provided is exceptionally high standard and the staff amazing. They go above and beyond for both parents and children and help to accommodate any needs that you may have.

July 18, 2018 at 12:00 amMary Poppins day nursery is amazing. My first child attended from the age of 9 months back in 2012. My youngest child started around 6 months old and is still there now. Absolutely amazing nursery staff are second to none and go beyond their means. Always very friendly and helpful. We feel like our child is very well cared for by the girls and I wouldn’t leave him anywhere else. My child also enjoys going each day which tells me he must have created a bond with them. Each child has an individual key worker, this has been the case with both my children and seems to work really well. As for each room, there are lots of things for them to do and to keep them entertained, as well as learning along the way. The outside play area is well maintained and very secure. Meals are amazing and my child eats every meal put in front of him when he’s there. When you pick your child up, you also get a rundown of what they have done for the day. My oldest is 7 now and Mary Poppins helped him become who he is today.

July 18, 2018 at 12:00 amBoth my children have attended Mary Poppins from age of nine months and they have both loved it. The staff are excellent and I can really see my children developing and learning from their sessions at nursery. The children are well cared for and the nursery itself is lovely – much nicer than others I viewed when first choosing a nursery.
I would highly recommend Mary Poppins as I have always felt confident that my children are being well cared for whilst I’m at work.

July 18, 2018 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Mary Poppins since October 2017 and was 10 months old.
Leaving a child to return to work full time is a really hard thing to do, especially when you are trusting people you do not really know.
When I first visited the nursery I knew it was the nursery for us. All staff were friendly and seem to appreciate how difficult it is for a new mum to leave her baby.
A member of staff in the baby room completely put me at ease by her manner. She was welcoming, friendly and in control.
There are a lot of staff that work here that you can tell love what they do which is lovely to see.
My daughter loves the nursery and her development has been excellent since she attended.
I would recommend this nursery to all my friends and family.

July 18, 2018 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery. Both my children have attended and I felt the staff really cared about them as if they were their own children. The staff were very supportive of our needs as an individual family and I always felt able to approach supervisors and managers with any questions that I had. My children were never short of cuddles and learning opportunities. I would not hesitate to recommend Mary Poppins to other parents.

July 18, 2018 at 12:00 amI have used this nursery for all three of my children, two of my children currently attend. I could not be happier with the level of care and attention they receive. They were quick to settle when they first started and are happy when they are dropped off. They have formed good relationships with the staff.
They enjoy the food served and there is a good variety on the menu. The staff listen to our routines at home and are happy to continue these at nursery. Overall I am extremely happy with Mary Poppins and cannot speak highly enough of the nursery, the staff and the management there.

July 19, 2018 at 12:00 amI currently have two children that attend. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff and managers that work there. My children are happy to be in there and the staff care for each and every child. Both of my children have had issues with dairy and they were very accommodating to their dietary needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Mary Poppins nursery to anyone.

July 20, 2018 at 12:00 amI am the definition of a fussy/obsessive Mum, there are only a handful of people on this planet I trust to look after my child, so when it came to finding the right child care providers I was very picky. I chose this nursery on how I felt about the staff and first impressions above all else, this is the most important part as they’re the ones looking after your child. The staff are always happy to review her activities/food intake and naps at every collection and are equally as accommodating on drop off to listen to any concerns I have that could affect her mood or sleep at nursery that day.
I’ve found the attitude of the staff to be what has made me so comfortable with leaving my daughter here. They are extremely genuine and it’s evident to see that they’ve built a relationship with my daughter – it’s great to see that your child recognises and relates to the staff – not to mention the socialising with other infants and the new activities laid out on a daily basis. I definitely recommend!

August 3, 2018 at 12:00 amI have 2-year-old twins that have attended Mary Poppins for the last year. My girls have always enjoyed coming, I’ve never had an issue with them not wanting to stay. The staff have been very friendly and accommodating! With twins, there has been some logistical issues but the staff have always helped and never made me feel a nuisance! Helping to/from the car and up the stairs! The girls love the food, especially the cheese and potato pie, keep meaning to ask for the recipe! Cost has to come into it with twins but I wouldn’t compromise their care for money, I don’t feel I have at all. The care is amazing, and at a reasonable price!!

June 3, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Mary Poppins for about 8 weeks now, she has just turned 1. I was so worried about leaving her at nursery, but the staff have made the transition for me and my daughter so easy. This week we had no tears at drop off, which in just 8 weeks is a true testament to how comfortable the staff have made her feel in such a short space of time. I usually call 1 or 2 times a day to see how she is and I am never made to feel a nuisance I am always given a good account of how she is and what she has been up to. My daughter is eating well and since attending nursery has developed so quickly, she is learning something new every day. If we ask a request the staff are happy to help, for example, we are trying to minimise the dummy in the day and the staff are happy to work on this with us. So I guess I can finish off saying, that so far so good and as long as my daughter is happy then so am I.

June 3, 2019 at 12:00 amI would highly recommend Mary Poppins, my 2nd daughter started age 6 months and is due to leave shortly for big school. The decision to choose Mary Poppins as a full-time nursery was easily made as my 1st born attended nearly 12 years ago. The staff greet you with a smile every morning and give you daily feedback at the end of each session on what they have been doing, eating etc. The food menu is different on a weekly basis and they cater for all dietary requirements and fussy eaters. They have different daily activities to keep the kids entertained and learn through fun whether it be clean or messy play. They have all-weather outside areas that the kids are encouraged to play outside as much as possible whether sun or snow. I do feel that all the girls love each child as if they were their own child. Leaving a child with strangers is never easy, however with Mary Poppins within a day the girls feel like your extended family.

June 6, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending the nursery for over a year now and I have to say the staff have been amazing and so patient with him as he used to have a lot of separation anxiety. Nothing has ever been too much trouble with any of the staff, for example giving medication and helping him with his speech therapy. He has come on so well since starting with his eating and his speech is now amazing, thanks to staff assisting with activities to help that. Everyone is so friendly and I feel at ease when he is there as I know he’s happy there. The communication is great, I always know what he’s eaten and everything he has done, the meals are always varied and he really likes everything. The outdoor playing area is fantastic, there’s so much to do for the children, it really has helped him grow up and start to understand so many things. He’s always so chatty about everything he has done that day, I would really recommend this nursery, it will be sad to see him leave this summer.

June 21, 2019 at 12:00 amIn my opinion, the standard of care at Mary Poppins is exceptional. They all take genuine pride in what they do and they really invest time in the children under their care. My two little ones love them all to pieces and it leaves me with a real piece of mind when I know they’re being looked after so well. I’ve always found them really friendly and professional and the children are kept engaged with a wide variety of activities throughout the day. Looking after children is a really tough gig and these guy’s make it look easy. I trust them all implicitly and I feel very fortunate to have found such a good nursery. Would highly recommend.

June 12, 2023 at 12:00 amI’ve sent two children here from 9 months right through to about to start school, and both have flourished. Mary Poppins Day Nursery provides a safe, stimulating and welcoming setting, where both the children and the staff come across as happy in that environment. Going through the various stages has helped give my children sound social skills and confidence to prepare them for school life. The staff get to know each child personally and understands their individual character traits, so they can respond to their specific needs.

June 12, 2023 at 12:00 amCouldn’t be happier with this nursery – our little one has been going here since he was 10 months (now 3.5 years) and has thrived. He is so loved by everybody there and the staff are brilliant. The staff sold this place to us – they use common sense and genuine care rather than policies which make life harder for parents as I found with other nurseries!

June 13, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter is now in preschool, she started in the baby room at 12 months old. She loves it. It’s always scary leaving your child but all the staff at Mary Poppins are so caring and kind, they make parents feel at ease.
I have seen such a huge difference in my daughter since starting in the preschool room, her drawing and learning, in general, have just come on massively. Every day she comes home so happy and excited to tell us about her day. The nursery is clean, a lot cleaner than most I’ve seen, organised and most importantly safe. Would highly recommend this nursery.

June 13, 2023 at 12:00 amMary Poppins is a wonderful nursery where the staff are friendly and you feel safe in the knowledge that your child is happy and well looked after! It feels small and personal, and the staff really know your child as an individual.

June 13, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been going to Mary Poppins Nursery since he was only around 6 months old. They have always been amazing with him. And I felt at ease leaving him.
They keep you fully up to date on what they have been doing during the day. I cannot recommend it enough. Everyone is lovely.
