September 17, 2024 at 10:13 pmEach week there are enjoyable new activities which help the kids to grow and learn. The kids get to spend so much time outdoors and they even have the facilities for local day trips, providing such an enriched journey.
My son is so cheerful at Childcare centre Days. All of the team are incredible, they really are remarkable at their jobs. I consistently sense well-informed about what my son has been doing, and how he is developing. Early years education is so important and I have complete trust in the team to provide the very best care for my son. Childcare centre Days provide a secure, loving and creative setting for my son.

November 3, 2024 at 6:15 amI have been a teacher for over a decade and have a Masters’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, and I can say with self‑assurance that this is the only setting I have ever encountered that is run the way an Early Years setting should be run. The kids have plenty of outdoor discovering opportunities that complement the rural setting including raising ducklings, and chickens trips to the Orchard and other local places of interest; the team are inviting, positive and welcoming and were so compassionate and supportive when I was going through chemotherapy; and most importantly I have consistently been made to sense that my kid was loved, valued as an individual, and was secure and cheerful whilst in their care. I am going to be very emotional when he finally leaves them this summer to go to “big school” – but I can’t think of a better place for him to have begun his discovering journey. Thank you so much! My son has been coming to Childcare centre Days for over a year now, and I rave about it to everyone I meet.

November 8, 2024 at 7:54 pmShe loves all the team and has a excellent relationship with her key worker! She loves going to the orchard and really loves messy playtime, but most especially she loves the food and cooking club! Childcare centre Days are remarkable, my daughter loves going there!

November 11, 2024 at 6:10 amHe has been cared for wonderfully by all the team in each room he has been in. The opportunities he has experienced are incredibly varied, from interacting with various animals, cooking club, yoga and regular outdoor discovering. The childcare centre has worked so hard to improve both its inside and outside environments over the last three years, they really are something to be proud of! My son loves going to the orchard on a daily basis. This area is a real asset to the childcare centre and has been well developed, encouraging both fine and gross motor skills to be used. I have consistently been impressed with updates around the development my son is making and I adore the daily tapestry entries. I really wouldn’t send my kid anywhere else and my little girl is already signed up to start next year. Thank you Childcare centre Days! My son has been going to Childcare centre Days since he was 11 months and he is now nearly 4.

December 8, 2024 at 7:31 pmIn the time between it has had a full refurbishment and is now even better! The team are lovely, he literally cannot wait to get inside when he sees them in the morning. Photos are posted daily on the secure online account so I can see exactly what he gets up to during the day and it shows how cheerful he is. He loves his little adventures to the orchard in the buggy especially.
The childcare centre itself is in a lovely old building which has a few rooms giving it a home from home sense. You’re kept updated with information via social media and the online platform, meaning you can ask questions and get responses really quickly. I have never had any issues with anything, but am confident the room leaders and managers would deal with anything swiftly and professionally if I did.
There literally isn’t one thing I would say I would change about Childcare centre Days. Childcare centre Days is such an incredible setting, my now seven year old used to attend and I didn’t even consider anywhere else for my one year old.

December 9, 2024 at 11:10 amHe settled very well, and we are consistently given updates on his day and development. Team are very approachable and welcoming. I will highly suggest. My son has been going to Childcare centre Days since November 2019.

January 4, 2025 at 1:40 pmHe is consistently enjoying new and exciting experiences. His self‑assurance has grown, he has made lovely friendships, the team are attentive and attentive and continues to grow and learn under their supervision. I would happily suggest Childcare centre Days to other parents, especially those that want their kids to delight in the outdoors and nature. My son thoroughly enjoys his time at Childcare centre Days.

January 9, 2025 at 9:07 amWe have been nothing but impressed with the care and education provided to her so far. We adore that the childcare centre has its own orchard, as these outdoor activities are very beneficial and enjoyable for the kids’s development.
We also adore that the kids’s development is documented on Tapestry and they get a focus week where feedback is shared with us. It’s lovely to see their development! Our daughter started childcare centre in September, doing two full days a week.

February 7, 2025 at 8:48 amHe’s so cheerful there, and I couldn’t ask for any more from the team. Very approachable, and the kids are their first priority. The kids visit the orchard daily, exploring and discovering so much whilst being outside, which some nurseries do not have access to. Updates and pictures are posted through the app, which is lovely to see. I will be sending my youngest son to join the childcare centre soon too. Highly suggest. My son goes to Childcare centre Days, and it’s excellent.

February 19, 2025 at 9:36 amMy daughter absolutely loves coming every Wednesday, so much she doesn’t even say bye to Daddy anymore. The key worker is incredible, consistently having my daughter’s best interest at heart and excellent at communicating with me and updating me on her development. I do suggest to all my friends with kids to come here. Adore the fact that the kids get taken down to the orchard or out on different day trips. I couldn’t rate Childcare centre Days more highly.

February 27, 2025 at 1:51 amWe got there in the end, all thanks to the special bond they made with him. He gets to have messy playtime, delight in tasty food and explore the garden or local park/orchard regularly – which you just don’t get in every childcare centre! I couldn’t suggest the childcare centre more. All the team at Childcare centre Days have been so patient when settling my little one.

March 6, 2025 at 2:56 pmMy boys adore going and I sense assured that they have the best care. The facilities are exceptional, especially the forestry element. Both of my kids attend Childcare centre Days and I could not be more impressed with the team and setting they provide.
Parker Walker
April 8, 2025 at 11:37 pmThey all adore to got to the childcare centre, and we find they learn so much. From a personal point of view, I like the fact that there is so much outdoor activity and going to the orchard is a highlight of their day. All three of my kids have gone here and sense it’s a excellent start to their lives.

April 16, 2025 at 4:46 amHe absolutely loves going to childcare centre and having the best time with all his educators and peers. Trips to the orchard, cooking club, reading, drawing, the list goes on. Special shout out to one team member who goes above and beyond to ensure my son and all the kids have a cheerful, enjoyable and educational day every day. She is outstanding. Childcare centre days has really brought our son out of his shell.

April 30, 2025 at 8:10 amI could not fault this childcare centre; they are incredible. My little boy has been in this childcare centre since about two and a half years old, and the girls are exceptional, and I trust them with my kid. They are very accommodating too. If I have appointments, they are very great at helping get my kid in for the time that is required. Also, I want to say that they are incredible and comforting. My son gets very upset with certain things, and they handle him amazingly and have been extremely hard-working to make sure he doesn’t get upset. I would a million per cent suggest this childcare centre to anyone, as the girls are all hard-working/compassionate ladies and are very quick to help with any questions or concerns I have – outstanding updates – everything is exceptional. Incredible – perfect.

May 13, 2025 at 5:32 pmHe loves attending childcare centre which speaks volumes to me as a parent, he looks forward to going into childcare centre to see his friends and loves his educators. This year in September my kid has moved into the pre-school. Since being in pre-school my kid is becoming more confident with building new relationships among his peers. He values his time with his key worker and educators, and we appreciate the assistance they offer with discovering. His ability with speech and language is improving and childcare centre pick up on areas that kids need some extra help with discovering which is invaluable when preparing them for reception at primary school. Childcare centre is not just supportive of every kid but also the parents too, offering assistance and advice. At the open day when choosing a childcare centre, I knew Childcare centre Days was a excellent setting for my kid, I am pleased we didnt choose anywhere else. My little one has been in childcare centre since he was 18 months and is now 3 years old.

May 14, 2025 at 11:08 pmThe facilities are outstanding, especially the outside areas, including trips to the orchard and local outside areas. The team are consistently welcoming and very attentive, encouraging the kids’s discovering and development. Childcare centre Days has been incredible for my son who has been attending since he was 8 months old.
Winter Brooks
June 5, 2025 at 6:30 amWe appreciate everything you do for my kid and are very grateful for all the fantastic provisions and opportunities you provide for her and all the kids. I used to be an Early Years Foundations Stage key worker in a childcare centre, so I was really keen to find the right setting for my kid, somewhere that complimented her personality and catered for her interests. Other nurseries just don’t compare; after our tour in 2020, we were sold, and two years later we are still so glad we chose Childcare centre Days for our kid. With every month that goes by, we just become more and more impressed with you all! Huge thanks to all the team for all you do – it is clear you’re all so passionate about our kids, and we couldn’t wish for a better place to nurture our kid in these precious early years. Thank you! I really enjoyed reading through your latest newsletter and hearing of your success – congratulations on being announced as one of the top 20 nurseries in the South East – an accolade which you truly deserve.

June 8, 2025 at 10:27 pmWe chose them as the team were so supportive with all of the questions we had, we loved the outdoor elements they offered and that they were located in a small village. Childcare centre Days was definitely the right choice, the kids settled in very quickly and the days spent there are consistently so varied! The orchard and outdoor playtime areas are a huge highlight for them, they adore playing in the mud kitchen especially! Our Son has now gone off to school and they really helped with this transition, the school readiness that they provided was second to none. Our daughter will be leaving for school this September and we will all be hugely sad to leave them.
If you are looking for a childcare centre in the area then Childcare centre Days is the one! We relocated to the area in February 2021 and after doing extensive research on nurseries we decided to send our son and daughter to Childcare centre Days.

June 13, 2025 at 2:10 amThis childcare centre has been exceptional for him, and it has been so lovely to see him develop over his time there. He loves the adults in his room; they are supportive, welcoming and attentive and know him so well. We have consistently felt he has been secure and well looked after, and he has access to so many great quality experiences and activities. They also spend so much time discovering outside, which he loves, and the kids have so much freedom to join in with and do activities they adore. He has built lovely relationships with adults and kids, and he goes in so cheerful every time! One of his highlights is the very regular visits to the orchard where he loves to playtime, especially with the mud kitchen! The childcare centre also has excellent updates and is consistently on hand to assistance and respond to any questions. Thank you for all of your assistance for our family and for helping our son Our son joined Childcare centre Days in 2021 after all of the National lockdowns as we felt he needed more social interaction with other kids.
