    Our boy started Polam School and Nursery when he became one years old. He adores going to Polam School and Nursery, he is asking to go even during the weekend. They know each kids truly well and help us to guide how to discipline our boy as we are first time parents. He started in Acorn and he is now in Saplings. We are expecting a second kid and this youngster will also go to Polam School and Nursery too. We always receive a verbal update when we pick him up everyday. He is truly assured and we are always surprised at how much he learns in terms of language skills and songs. Lots of different activities and exploring throughout the day, which we can check on the app. All the members of team are absolutely incredible. Saplings is exceptionally good, the room is spacious and has its own garden although it’s a bit small. In terms of Covid-19, all the members of team are wearing masks during any interaction with parents which is extremely good. I cannot suggest Polam School and Nursery enough.

    Every day is enjoyed by my little one so much that he doesn’t want to go home. If on a particular day something was off with my little one, they would chat with me about it. My young lad joined Polam family when he was 21 months old. Even such a thing as a potty training was a mutual strategy. At that time he didn’t know a word of English and was still breastfeeding for comfort so it took him slightly longer to settle. What I enjoy about Polam nursery setting is that it is not a factory processing kids. I simply cannot advocate Polam strongly enough. Every little one has different needs and develops differently and this is in the heart of Polam’s provision. Within weeks he moved from being constantly comforted by personnel to being more independent and taking part in the childcare centre activities. How great is that! There was always the same early‑years hub crew looking after him and every day I was told how his day went. Even though he is not yet 4 and I feel he is already ready a big school.

    We are extremely pleased to notice great headway in his speech, confidence and overall advancement through activities and other absorbing activities. Thank you Polam School and Nursery team! Polam School and Nursery has a fantastic early‑years hub with great facilities. Our young lad has been attending since September 2019 and he absolutely enjoys it there. The crew are all polite and dedicated to providing the best care for our little ones.

    For example, we received a lovely post card to mention how good she has been. Our young lady has been exploring to identify letters and is extremely delighted at Polam. Our girl goes to Polam childcare centre and she really enjoys it. They have flexibility if you are running a bit late, which is supportive when you are busy. We get regular feedback in innovative ways.

    Polam has been an first‑rate early‑years hub for my young lady, She has thrived since starting here in September 2016. I have no qualms in leaving my young lady in their attention, as I know she is safe, well cared for and guaranteed to have fun whilst absorbing. All the crew are cordial, reliable and approachable. I fully endorse this nursery setting. The food they provide the youngsters is fantastic, it is all homemade on-site and they can even have 2nds or 3rds if needed, which is great for growing bodies and minds. She is an active outgoing and independent little girl and her instructors encourage her in all these aspects and many more.

    The Nursery is really well managed by the manager. We were worried about our little one settling at first but all our worries were set aside by the Nursery team. Our little one’s keyworkers have been wonderful. Everyone is extremely kind, accommodating and reliable. Our little one absolutely treasures it at Polam and I can’t imagine her going anywhere else. I’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the personnel and would strongly endorse this nursery setting to all parents.

    I can’t praise Polam Nursery enough. The team are professional, cordial and wholeheartedly committed to ensuring the kids are well looked after. The premises are excellent and she treasures the gym and music sessions which are extremely beneficial to advancement. The support my girl receives is exceptional at Polam Nursery.

    The activities (extracurricular) eg. Our young lady is delighted and she enjoys going to school. We are extremely pleased with the ethos of the school. The discovering journal is great for parents to view at any time online where you can track the improvement of your youngster. Ballet and swimming is great in building confidence. Teachers are fantastic and we appreciate everything the school is doing for our little one.

    As a family, we couldn’t be happier and would not hesitate to advocate the early‑years hub. That he is in such a caring, supportive setting is so reassuring for us both. We are both so impressed with the activities on offer, especially forest school, the contact we receive and overall support. Polam crew have been excellent from day one ensuring a smooth transition for my son’s first time at early‑years hub. Members of team have been excellent in understanding my son’s needs and updates is to the highest standard.

    We would wholeheartedly advocate Polam School and Nursery. My little one treasures her time in the saplings room for age two to three year olds. The crew are wonderful, they prepare fantastic activities and are good at understanding the needs of each individual youngster.

    I think the correspondence is extremely good, I always know what’s happening in the childcare centre and what she’s been doing. My young lady is continuing into the main school and she simply can’t wait! My girl has just finished in the Oaks class of Polam Nursery having previously been in Saplings. I am truly impressed at the level of dedication shown by the personnel, and the variety of activities on offer. Since she started with the nursery setting I have found the early‑years hub team to be attentive to her requirements, while gently encouraging her. My little one adored going into Polam and I felt delighted that she was being well cared for and educated.

    We treasure Polam. It is a fantastic nursery setting with great sites. When older they even get to swim and do forest school which is great. My girl has been delighted from day one and so am I. The range of activities on offer are always fun and/or educational. The personnel are always kind and useful and extremely experienced with looking after little kids.

    I go to work knowing she is well looked after. My young lady is talking so much since being at Polam and also adores going. The food is excellent and nearly every time she eats all that is given. We didn’t hesitate in sending her there as my boy developed so well and adored going. No tears in the morning and she is extremely delighted. My little one used to go to Polam and now my little one is there.

    This is due to the excellent quality of team in the nursery setting, and the warmth and enthusiasm with which they attention for each youngster. We look forward to sharing the experiences and adventures that we know our little one will have in the school over the coming year. The early‑years hub benefits from being attached to the school, allowing the kids to take advantage of premises that many nurseries do not have. Our little one started at Polam shortly before her third birthday and is now about to start Reception. She thoroughly enjoyed her time in the childcare centre and is eagerly awaiting the start of “big school” in September.

    From the admissions personnel, maintenance personnel, school head, the pre-school team and to the before/after school help, they are all incredible, really approachable and work so hard caring for the pupils and families. At the beginning of the school year, the pre-school team listened to our concerns and areas needing help and guidance and at year-end, we couldn’t be happier especially regarding her emotional and social growth. Our girl was extremely delighted here. She joined for pre-school only and we wish we’d found it when we first moved to the area. We strongly endorse this school. Our young lady did fantastic at Polam.

    The personnel are excellent I never feel rushed at drop off or pick up If I want feedback, the updates is always in depth and I always know what my young lad has been up to. The personnel are all brilliant with him and encourage him to be outgoing and independent. He enjoys going to nursery setting, he now goes in independently and happily, always smiling. He enjoys PE lessons and music which has become part of his weekly routine. Polam School and Nursery has been excellent since my young lad started in September 2017. I feel secure and secure leaving my little one as I know the values of Polam School and Nursery are the same as when my little one is home with me.

    From day one he couldn’t be happier and the work the educators have put in to make them settled is remarkable! Thank you for all the time you put into the incredible activities like messy playtime, time outside no matter the weather and time in the soft games gym – he enjoys it all and is developing so quickly because of it. He has not had one tear or bad day and it is all testament to their loving support. Our boy started in January during lockdown and needless to say we were truly worried about how he could settle after such a sheltered first year of his life. We couldn’t be more delighted, so thank you to the remarkable nursery setting team plus the help team behind the scenes (our young lad appears to be having second helpings of meals now so no complaints from him on that front either!).

    Polam School and Nursery offers a caring, nurturing setting in which I have seen both of my kids flourish. Staff are attentive, encouraging and I am regularly updated on my child’s improvement. The early‑years hub setting is remarkable with lots of space, different activities and my young lad enjoys the perks of sharing the primary school’s premises like the sports hall and pool. I could not ask for more of a nursery setting! Both of my little ones started childcare centre at Polam School and Nursery at two years old, first in saplings and moving to oaks.
