November 10, 2020 at 12:00 amThis is a fantastic nurturing nursery. I’ve seen both my children flourish here from 12 months up to starting school. The attention to detail is second to none and the quality of provision outstanding. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a caring supportive setting which goes above and beyond to enable children to settle, feel ‘at home’, make friends, learn and develop in all areas. Thank you to the team!

November 12, 2020 at 12:00 amI have been very impressed with this nursery right from day one. Both my children are in attendance at the nursery and the staff are nothing but friendly and caring, towards both the children in their care and their parents. The staff offer a varied programme of activities for the children, developing different skills according to their age and ability. My son, in particular, has flourished while attending, from learning things like his shapes, colours, numbers etc to emotional skills and how to turn take, share etc. I highly recommend this nursery and can’t fault the staff.

November 17, 2020 at 12:00 amMy children joined the nursery 3 months ago, and honestly, the settling in couldn’t have gone any better. Everyone at the nursery has been so supportive and welcoming to the children and us parents too. In a matter of days both my kids have settled into their new routine and surroundings beautifully. I receive daily updates, pictures and videos on how they are doing on the nursery’s mobile app which is so reassuring, and it’s a great tool to communicate with the key persons too. I especially love the big open plan rooms which have lots of little play areas – including a snack station where kids can pay with play money for their snacks which is just so cute. The preschool kids go to forest school once a week which my daughter adores. I would really recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nursery setting, we couldn’t be happier there.

March 21, 2021 at 12:00 amOur child has attended this nursery for the past two years and I have been continually impressed with the nursery, in particular over the last twelve months of the pandemic. Every staff member clearly loves the children and it shows. The communication from the nursery has been amazing, we love getting photos through the app, especially now that we aren’t able to go inside the nursery due to Covid-19. The team supported us at home when the nursery was shut, sending us ideas for activities and videos of the staff reading stories. We have felt safe sending our child back as soon as it was open, the measures in place have been scrupulously followed and we would have been lost without this provision during a trying year. The management team have been really receptive to feedback, working with me and involving me in improving the menu for lunches, which is varied and interesting for the children. The best thing is, our child simply loves going to nursery, he is excited every day.

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my children started at this nursery as babies and I have recommended it to friends based on our experience. Both children love to go and race in! The staff are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is friendly, fun and caring. They’ve accommodated our reusable nappies and they are always approachable for a chat and progress updates. The key workers know the kids really well and have great relationships with them, even when they are not key workers! Staff and management have been helpful and professional throughout the Covid-19 situation and have zero issues with care and safety which is in place. Enrichment sessions with Forest School, music and outings have been great for the kids. I have found both play and the things which they have learnt at nursery or at home, such as table manners, songs and reciting rules is from Forest School. I loved that there is opportunity to go outside daily in all weather, which isn’t available to other nurseries in Cheltenham. The parent app has been excellent for us.

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amOur children have both loved being at this nursery and come home with fun stories and crafts. For us, it has been great to know that they are in such a caring, stimulating and safe environment. We also really like the reports and ‘moments’ we get through the app!

September 15, 2021 at 12:00 amMy children will be sad to be leaving this nursery in Cheltenham. The manager is very empathic and her team of staff clearly enjoy working for her. There’s a lot of dedication from the members of staff especially one, who stood out as being particularly committed to the little people in her care. It would have been nice to get quick feedback at the end of each session but we appreciate life is very busy in the nursery and it’s clear to see every day, how much my children enjoyed their time.

April 22, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has attended My Ohana Cheltenham Nursery for nearly a year now, and he absolutely loves it. I can’t rate the staff highly enough; they are welcoming, friendly and genuinely care for the children. There is a great range of activities on offer. This week, my son made bread, and last week, he visited a farm! He is always coming home with things he has made. His language has excelled, and his manners are lovely. I’m sure this nursery has been a contributing factor to this.

December 20, 2022 at 12:00 amThe team at My Ohana Cheltenham are fantastic. Our little boy has been attending nursery there for just under two years; he adores the team and often asks to go to nursery on the weekend!
Being a Covid baby, we weren’t sure how this would affect him, but thanks to the team at My Ohana, he is very sociable and has many friends at nursery. The team are very encouraging, approachable and supportive of all family situations and the bonds they create with the children are amazing to see flourish.
It is with our deepest regret that we need to withdraw our boy from the nursery due to moving country – but we can rest assured that he has had the best start to life through his relationships and support from the nursery.
The nursery itself has endless amounts of toys and equipment to keep children entertained, and they also have a lovely garden space for lots of outdoor activities. The kids often go out to the local park to collect leaves and play in the playground – such a sweet idea.

December 30, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my children have attended My Ohana Cheltenham Nursery since 12 months old. My son has now left to go to school but thoroughly enjoyed his three and a half years at My Ohana. I cannot fault the staff. They are caring and empathetic to the children. The preschool room staff, in particular, go above and beyond in putting on fantastic graduation shows and this year a carol concert too. They are always thinking up new initiatives and including the parents where possible. All the staff are friendly and approachable and willing to talk over any concerns. The staff are great at thinking of inspiring and engaging play ideas, turning the outdoor play area into a campsite (with real tents, wash station and toilet tent) one week, a winter wonderland (with a hot chocolate booth and various winter-themed tuff trays) the next, a horse race ground the next and in the height of the heatwave a series of paddling pools appeared. All the children come out with smiles, as well as lots of artwork. Fantastic nursery.

January 16, 2023 at 12:00 amMy Ohana Cheltenham is just amazing. The staff are so attentive to the children and you can tell they really have a bond with them. At all stages, whether it’s healthcare issues or developmental they are so supportive – They fully potty trained my son!
The setting and facilities are lovely and they do so much learning-based play that my son has become so confident in the time he has been there.
I know my son is in safe hands when he’s there and couldn’t recommend My Ohana Cheltenham enough.

January 16, 2023 at 12:00 amFriendly and supportive staff – both my children have attended and I couldn’t be happier with every aspect of the nursery. A friendly, welcoming, and supportive place to socialise, play and learn. I recommend My Ohana wholeheartedly.

February 1, 2023 at 12:00 amThe team are absolutely fantastic! My youngest absolutely loves going to nursery. The team have helped our family through milestones like dropping naps, losing dummies, potty training a Frozen obsession and so many more! My eldest who is the youngest in her class at junior school has settled in so quickly because of the preparation that the pre-school team gave her! Forever grateful to the team for being so attentive to my children.

February 22, 2023 at 12:00 amI have literally just put my son into this nursery and well I couldn’t sing their praises more than of the nursery he was at before, well it seems even worse now he has started here, it’s always very clean the staff are all so lovely and kind. Just the first day he went the online journal was detailed and so many photos, he also made a pizza and did painting and so many more things it’s just incredible to see them really going above and beyond for your children’s learning, the food is also very good my little boy can be a bit fussy but he ate the whole meal and the pudding. The two main staff members I have spoken to that really helped put my mind at ease is the Manager and I believe it was the Deputy Manager they answered and reassured me of all my concerns regarding him starting due to me being worried due to the previous nursery and then all the other lady’s I have met at drop off or pick up or just popping forms in they are all super friendly so much my son didn’t want to leave

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amMy Ohana is a great nursery. The staff are really friendly and work hard to ensure my child is happy. I feel my child has made good bonds with other children, enjoys a variety of activities and always comes home smiling from this nursery.

August 1, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have been to My Ohana Nursery from the age of 9 months up until school age.
There’s nothing that I can say that will can convey how amazing, caring, loving, supportive and accommodating the team there have been!
Our children have absolutely loved going and have grown into amazing little people that have been equipped by their experiences to go up to big school.
Cannot thank the whole team enough!
