Quackers Day Nursery & Pre-School

This is my first review of a nursery, although my son went to 3 different nurseries.
The staff at Quackers are exceptional, professional, dedicated and so friendly. My son went to the nursery for a few months and he would run upstairs to the ‘frog room’ in the morning and would cry when picking him up in the evening. I would always get drawings, pictures, and updated information about his day. Quackers is the only nursery that has managed to get my son eating his lunch and every morning when dropping him at the nursery I would smell the tasty meals cooked by their amazing cook!
When my husband felt ill and went to the hospital, the manager did everything he could to support us. His kindness and support helped me to focus on my husband knowing that my son was in a safe and amazing place.
Quackers is the only nursery that gave me peace of mind and where staff work so well together. I sadly wish that they were closer to my home!

I was very unhappy with this nursery. I have complained to them and been accused of lying, I have reported my concerns to Ofsted. The manager has been uncooperative and refused to acknowledge or apologise about the concerns I raised and have evidence to back them up.

We love Quackers! They have been absolutely fantastic with my son who, when starting, had extra health needs (which they managed amazingly). I have always been able to trust them completely to care for him, teach him, make him happy and keep him safe. I have older children who had attended a much bigger nursery, but Quackers are my favourite by far, it has such a nice family feel and my son is always so excited to go.

My boy has been at Quackers for ten months now and I am always so impressed with how they look after the kids, they are all one big family. The days are structured, but fun, with lots of opportunities for learning new words, songs and actions. Health and safety is taken seriously and we are notified promptly of any accidents. They are really supportive to parents and the recent parents’ evening was brilliant and ensures everyone is on the same page with areas of focus. Moving up through the various rooms is done slowly at the child’s pace and parents are kept informed throughout. All the staff are extremely friendly, approachable and genuinely love the kids they spend their days with. Absolutely brilliant and we would be lost without them!

Quackers Nursery have really lovely staff. They are very respectful and have listened to everything I want for my child. They have a great outdoor space where the children can run around, so messy play, and have lots to play with. They communicate very well and give me all the information I need to know about my child at the end of the day.

We were sold on the family feel of the nursery and this feeling has continued since our daughter started eight months ago. Even with new members of staff or staff changing rooms, I genuinely haven’t met one person who doesn’t care deeply about looking after my child. There are so many art and craft activities, outdoor time and genuine effort put into the development of my child, she looks forward to going every day. We recently had a very detailed parents’ evening report and face-to-face discussion and I love the daily photos and updates. The range of food is also excellent and plenty of snacks are offered in between meals. I recently gave birth and feel that the staff genuinely cared about how I was getting on and if they could provide any further support.

We recently started our youngest at Quackers and are delighted with the support he’s received with settling into the nursery. He was nearly 3 years old when he started and had not attended a nursery setting before, but in addition to his settling-in visits, it was only a couple of weeks before he was happily looking forward to each day and recounting what’d he’d been up to at the end of each day. Our eldest also used to attend Quackers prior to this, having had to move him from his original nursery, as they were not able to adequately support a food allergy he had. We were delighted with the support he also received during his time at Quackers, both with his allergy and witnessing his all-round development while he was there. It is always apparent at pickup time how at ease the children are with the staff and each other, as well as the variety of opportunities and experiences Quackers, offer, so we would not hesitate in recommending Quackers as a nursery setting and have done so, countless times!

I cannot say enough good things about Quackers. The staff are incredible, the facilities are perfect for all nursery ages. It is wonderful knowing that my child is safe when I drop him off. He walks in every morning so happy to be there and that is worth every penny. They eat well, read lots of books and invent some fantastic games to aid learning. My child has benefitted from their care and I would recommend them to anyone.

We have been thrilled with the team at Quackers! From day one, they have been so accommodating, friendly, thorough and overall, brilliant! We love the updates we receive on our daughter’s daily activities and overall well-being and development at nursery. We love how different each day is and the types of activities the Quackers team provides to keep progressing the kids exposure to new things! I think our daughter’s smiley face and excitement at the end of the day, says it all! Highly recommend.

The staff at Quackers are all really professional, caring and knowledgeable. My wife and I work shifts and sometimes have short notice changes, but the manager has been really flexible to accommodate this. Our daughter absolutely loves coming here. She has blossomed from a tiny infant to a confident and independent young girl (still only 2 years old!) and it is all thanks to the care and encouragement of the staff.
