September 15, 2024 at 1:00 amEveryone has been absolutely lovely towards our kid and they seem to really take their time getting to know all the kids which are lovely to see. I really delight in the flexibility in terms of settling in etc, I really appreciated being able to go with my son’s needs when settling in and it has definitely paid off. We’ve had a very positive journey so far.

October 29, 2024 at 1:26 pmI’m often intrigued by their activities. For example, when you drop your kid in the morning, there’s often a new, themed discovering activity out – it consistently looks really interesting! My eldest went there and my youngest goes there now, too. I have worked with young people for a long time and it really matters to me that my kids get the best start to their education and socialisation, which is why I chose this childcare centre. My youngest son’s development has been rapid since joining there, especially his speech. All the kids are lovely – very cheerful, welcoming kids and they have a lovely little community there. Very inviting atmosphere. Team are also very diligent and don’t let things slide. Team are extremely on the ball, which is what you want. The management is outstanding and very thorough. Nothing gets past them! They also have a 5* food rating – food freshly cooked on site. Incredible childcare centre consistently loads of different activities going on for the kids to be curious about and to learn from.

October 31, 2024 at 2:44 amThis was a difficult time for all, especially as a mum leaving her 18-month-old for the first time. As soon as I met the team I knew straight away that they provided a inviting and attentive space. My eldest has now moved on however my youngest still attends. He has grown in so many areas during the years and this is thanks to the incredible team who have consistently provided a secure and nurturing setting. For a long time, my son called the childcare centre home and it reassured me that he was cheerful and secure. I have daily updates and it looks like his day is filled with lots of enjoyable and different activities.
I am so grateful to the team for everything they have done for my son and continue to do. The team have become like an extension of our family to the kids and this as a working mother means everything – (plus the food consistently looks so yummy). Both of my kids started at the childcare centre during the pandemic.

November 3, 2024 at 11:04 amFrom my initial contact with the manager and her team, updates has been great. Team are welcoming and welcoming to both kids and their families. My son settled straight away and I believe that is because of the positive and nurturing setting that the childcare centre provides. He looks forward to attending and is developing his independence with toileting, putting his coat and bag away, tidying up, etc, which has been encouraged by the team. The food is cooked from scratch on-site and my son eats better there than at home! Highly suggest Priory Childcare centre.

November 3, 2024 at 4:36 pmHe loves going to childcare centre – he runs in every morning and doesn’t want to leave at home time. The team are lovely and the care they provide is exceptional. The updates is outstanding and I adore being able to check in at any time of the day to see what they are up to and the activities they are doing. I sense extremely fortunate that my kid attends Priory Childcare centre and would 100% suggest. My son started at Priory Childcare centre in September last year and the difference in him is incredible, he has come on leaps and bounds in that time.

November 29, 2024 at 6:52 amMy eldest boy loves going during school holidays with his little brother and describes Priory as the best school ever! Team are compassionate and attentive and consistently try to accommodate your kids’s needs.
They cook fresh food on-site and my kids absolutely adore the food.
They do creative activities for the kids and spend time outdoors almost every day.
Priory is located in the heart of Stevenage Old Town and is very convenient if you live in the area too.
I am so cheerful we found Priory! Our little boy started at Priory Childcare centre when he was 18 months and loves it!

November 30, 2024 at 1:19 amIt is helping my son massively and it helps older kids too as it teaches them how to interact with younger kids and be nice to them.
They close at 17:30. I wish they could open for a bit longer. That would be my only comment on the improving side.
We are very cheerful with the childcare centre. I adore the fact that they mix ages.

December 31, 2024 at 9:34 amOur son is on the autism spectrum and nonverbal and the care that was offered to him is assuring and let us sense secure. The team are welcoming and well-prepared. The management is right on top of great journey and well running the place. The senco officer was more than supportive and consistently empathetic towards our situation and needs. I highly suggest this childcare centre and after-hours place. We would like to keep coming on our holidays too when our son will be in school. Thank you Priory Childcare centre. Our son has been at Priory Childcare centre from 2021 September and he loved it from day 1.

January 18, 2025 at 5:07 pmI adore Priory just as much as they do. They have formed really a great rapport with both of my kids and the mixed class has really helped with their development. My little boy gets so excited going back for a day during half term. Thank you to the team for all being so fantastic. My daughter currently attends Priory Childcare centre and my little boy spent 2 years here too.

January 20, 2025 at 3:09 amThe team are incredible and have an outstanding understanding of the different needs kids have. Updates between team and parents/carers is best I’ve found it’s lovely to see the kids interacting with others at pick up and drop off couldn’t suggest this childcare centre enough. Excellent childcare centre with lots of space for the kids with so much for them to do.

January 22, 2025 at 6:12 amThey go above and beyond for every single kid. I honestly can’t put into words how grateful we are to them all. Their team is exceptional, you can see they truly are a family in there and their safety is paramount. They have looked after our kids over the years showing us all the fantastic activities they do with the kids. Throughout the toughest years with covid, they powered through. I couldn’t imagine a better childcare centre! Thank you for all that you do! Priory Childcare centre are by far the most outstanding and attentive childcare centre.

February 7, 2025 at 12:46 pmMy daughter seems cheerful and comfortable when she is there. She has developed her speech really well and enjoys playing with other kids. She particularly loves the dress up and the childcare centre encourages this freedom of playtime. The team are consistently welcoming approachable and are experienced in dealing with the kids. The updates is also great. A lovely childcare centre for my daughter.
Quinn Clarke
February 17, 2025 at 8:40 amOur son settled really well and really quickly, this is definitely owing to the patience and the care provided by the team. Right from the first settling session, we felt really comfortable leaving our little one here. They have been outstanding in their updates to us, ensuring we are informed of the little things and making sure they are available for a conversation if we need.
The whole setting has an openness to it, and a special mention to the garden – where kids are seen playing all day long. Really glad we were able to send our son here! Cannot suggest this childcare centre enough!

March 5, 2025 at 10:27 pmIn addition, he has an allergy so that made me even more nervous as I wasn’t sure how a bigger setting would be able to handle this but I am so glad I chose Priory.
They cook for kids with allergies all of the time so it’s nothing new to them.
The team are incredible and really do care about the kids.
My son loves it there and gets so excited about going to childcare centre each day. He has learnt so much and is developing so well and that’s all down to the fantastic team.
I honestly do not have a bad word to say and would suggest this childcare centre to everyone! I was nervous about bringing my son to a childcare centre as I thought it would be too overwhelming for him after coming from a childminder.
Elliot Underwood
March 17, 2025 at 8:43 amMy son has been going for around 9 months now and has such a excellent time. The team put in so much effort with the kids and consistently do creative and enjoyable educational activities with them. Every day you get sent an email of all the things they did that day, along with nappy changes and what they ate (which is consistently super healthy and yummy!) I’d suggest this childcare centre to anyone, it’s made leaving my son whilst I work a lot easier. I am so glad we found Priory Childcare centre!

May 2, 2025 at 12:11 amFood consistently smells nice and had helped our kids explore more foods. Highly suggest.
Both our kids go together and consistently have a nice day. Nice area for the kids to nap. Lovely team, big garden.
Hayden Hayes
May 17, 2025 at 7:38 pmThe team go above and beyond to ensure the kids are well looked after. I loved the big outside area the most; to be able to spend as much time outside as they do I think it’s exceptional. They have lots of different sheds filled with all sorts of enjoyable for the kids. The food they are given is very nutritious, nice and there are different meals each day. Both of my kids attended The Priory childcare centre.
Charlie Clarke
May 25, 2025 at 7:11 amHe was a little nervous at first but after 10 minutes they had him all settled. He is now at 3 days and will go to 4 in September. He loves being there and all the team are excellent and treat every kid with equal care and attention.
Updates between team and parents is very great and it is a very pleasant and enjoyable place to be for us and our kid.
Keep up the great work Priory. Our son started one day a week at Priory last year.
Parker Finch
May 26, 2025 at 12:59 pmThey have both grown in self‑assurance since starting the childcare centre and have enjoyed their days there. My eldest stayed at the childcare centre until he went on to Reception at school and he was school ready and it made the transition really easy. He also cannot wait to go back in the half terms! Both of my kids have loved the food provided and will often explore much more foods than they do at home. One of my kids has multiple severe food allergies to many foods and food is still consistently provided for him and menu changes to keep him secure, as an allergy parent this is everything! I have consistently felt listened to and I am confident and cheerful when leaving my kids in the care of the Priory Childcare centre. Both my kids have attended the childcare centre from 18 months old, my youngest is currently still there.

June 15, 2025 at 2:40 amOur kid has really enjoyed her time, the team are so lovely and she will really miss them when she departs for school this year. We highly suggest this pre-school setting. This childcare centre is superbly well managed, flexible and very reasonably priced.
