February 13, 2017 at 12:00 amMy child has been going to Matchbox Day Nursery since s/he was 5 months old. My child loves going and gives his/her key worker a big hug each morning! They host a variety of activities that relate to all the areas of the Early Years curriculum that ensure that s/he is well rounded. These activities are done through child initiated play so all the little ones are always on the go exploring the environment! The staff that work there are professional, polite and have good relationships with the children and their parents and carers. I feel that the communication between the Nursery and home is excellent. I always know what my little one has been up to and what s/he is enjoying each day! The Nursery was highly recommended to me by friends and I also highly recommend Matchbox Day Nursery!

June 26, 2017 at 12:00 amMatchbox was the 1st experience of nursery for my son. It was such a pleasant experience, that the new nursery he is in, doesn’t reach the standard given by Matchbox.
My son started in Matchbox when he was 11 months. Since the settling week, everything went smooth. The carers, especially the key person & the manager of the baby section were always very helpful & kind. Babies enjoy going there because the staff are lovely & caring.
It was only 4 months that he went to Matchbox, but it was enough to see his development. His motor & communication skills improved amazingly.
The activities tried to push their curiosity and encouraged them to do things by themselves. I could see from my son’s clothes that they were having a lot of fun.
Management was flexible & accessible. Keeping good relations with parents.
I wish we were closer to Matchbox to have our son back there.
Absolutely recommended 100%.
THANKS MATCHBOX! Lovely start of educational live of my son. Gracias!!!!!

October 18, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter went to Matchbox originally and I had no hesitation in sending my son here too, it was a pleasant surprise that nearly 3 years later, there were many of the same staff members and they all remembered my daughter still. Such a lovely well run nursery – all the staff know all the children’s names which gives it a family feel.
The nursury has a large garden which the children can play in throughout the day and a forest school which they can visit.

Very lovely nursery, staff are all friendly and very helpful. I only pick up every now and again but they still remember who I am.
They have a lovely big garden where the children spend some of the day and they participate in forest school which is lovely.
Very homely feel inside the nursery, overall amazing.

October 13, 2021 at 12:00 amWe were told to write most of our child’s routine/expression so his key person could understand his actions and when our child expresses himself vocally. They didn’t look at the book, and the response we got was that they are busy taking care of other children. We gave them changing clothes to use, for example in the event of a nappy accident. We saw that our child had a soiled trouser/bodysuit after nursery pickup. We asked why he wasn’t changed and the response we got was I didn’t change him, I’ll ask around. However, no one claimed they were accountable after another day of asking around. We also noticed the lack of fluidity in changing nappies at the nursery. Whenever we asked for a breakdown of our child’s activities the nursery’s response was very simplistic, we implored them to emphasize but we couldn’t get any more info. This showed either they have too many children per key person that they lose track, or they don’t do many activities towards a child’s development.
