    My child moved to Queens Nursery quite recently following a house move into the area. We’ve been really pleased with the nursery since then. There is a really wide range of activities, many of them outside the nursery such as visits to local businesses, or the forest. These give really great learning experiences. Communication is excellent and our child is very happy and settled at the nursery. All the staff and especially the key worker, have formed good bonds with our child. The only small negative is that outside space is limited, but what they have is used well and supplemented with visits to the forest, park etc.

    Our son has been at Queens Nursery for around 9-months now. We continue to be incredibly impressed and feel so lucky that he is somewhere that genuinely cares about him and his development. He absolutely loves it. Not only is the nursery incredibly creative and thoughtful when it comes to the activities they do, but I am also envious of his day as it seems so fun. The team are so lovely, patient, welcoming and caring. The take-home activities are well thought out too, and the nursery itself just has a lovely feel to it. It’s a very well-rounded pre-school experience and we are so grateful to them all. He calls his key worker his best friend, which says it all. Thank you for everything you do!

    The most fantastic nursery with a wonderful team! The team are so attentive and creative and my daughter absolutely loves going in. The team also make a huge effort to keep parents updated and involved in nursery activities, which is so lovely. I feel like the experiences at nursery are imaginative and engaging, as well as having incredible people to come into the nursery too to update on whether it be their jobs or real-life experiences. I feel like the team goes above and beyond to make it educational but fun for the children and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

    We waited a long time to get a place at the nursery, and I am so pleased we finally did. My daughter has been thriving in this fantastic place. The staff, quality of activities, food, setting and engagement with parents is exceptional. We feel really lucky!

    My daughter has been at Queens Nursery now for nearly 2-years since transitioning from the baby nursery and always comes out happy and looking forward to going in next! She enjoys the specialist teacher sessions such as yoga, in particular, and the outdoor trips they go on as well. She has gained such confidence and independence since being there as staff fully supports you in all the key milestones as well. I have always felt happy and safe leaving my daughter in their care as all staff are so friendly and develop key relationships with the children to understand each child as an individual as all their needs are different.

    My daughter loves Queens Nursery, she has lots of friends there and enjoys the activities. I really appreciated the effort that the nursery puts into organising different types of trips and activities for children and also their effort to involve parents. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They are also great at teaching and preparing children for school. My daughter can now write her name and she is very good at counting. They also talk about different topics like space, recycling and the environment. I like the nursery initiative to show the local community to children as well. The only drawback of this nursery is the fees, which steadily go up every year by a substantial amount.

    My daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery. She has been at the pre school since 2020 and has built a lovely relationship with the staff and her peers. I am always impressed by the effort made to take the children on exciting outings and trips to the forest. The staff at the nursery are lovely and kind and I couldn’t ask for anything better.

    Both my sons (one now aged 6 and the other nearly aged 4), have attended Queens Nursery and we’ve been very pleased with the care they have received over the years. Queens Nursery have always gone above and beyond in organising trips to the forest and within the local area, sending home activities to do and books to read. I love that over the years they have daily specialist teachers in music, yoga, baby ballet, phonics etc. attending the nursery. Every day the activities are really well planned and well thought through, with a view to developing the children through play. I have always felt like I’ve been kept well informed about what is happening at nursery and the teachers are also very nurturing.

    All of the staff are very friendly and approachable. We had asked our child’s key worker to help her start to write the alphabet and they immediately started working with her to do so, which was such a pleasure to see. The staff organise for the children to do many educational and fun activities, including visits to the woods and surrounding shops, which our daughter loves. She also loves the yoga and Bongalong classes, where songs/ nursery rhymes are taught. I would highly recommend this nursery.

    My son has attended this nursery for two years. First the baby nursery and now the toddler nursery, just up the road. I’ll be honest, I primarily chose this nursery for its location as I don’t drive. I thought the premises and activities were good, but I didn’t have anything to compare to as this was my first bub. I have and continued to be blown away by the attention to detail and care that the staff provide. The activities that the kids do are insane and I love the updates on the app as well as the weekly email updates from the manager, with pics and descriptions of what everyone’s been up to and what is coming up. I really don’t think they could do any more. There doesn’t seem to be a high staff turnover and my boy is happy there, with the staff and other children who he has grown up with, the last couple of years. They are receptive to feedback and have been understanding with recent difficulties we’ve had with our childcare account. Thank you all so much.

    The staff are very friendly and caring. Our son is very happy to go in every morning. It feels that he always has a good day at nursery. They provide children with so many activities, not only at the nursery itself but also to take home. Thank you to all of you.

    We absolutely love Queens Nursery. Both my kids have attended here and we have never had an issue at all. All the staff are very well trained and are amazing with the kids. I have never left my kids here and worried about them at all. We are so grateful for all the staff and everything that they do.

    Our son has been attending Queens Nursery since he was a year old, he was in the baby one room before. He absolutely loves it and runs in everyday. The nursery has a lovely, warm and inviting culture, which was something really important to us when choosing a nursery. Everyday there is a new activity or experience planned and he seems to be really thriving from the variety. The general communications from the team including management is great.

    Great nursery, our son has been there for nearly 6 months now, we’ve been very impressed. Staff are attentive and caring, they organise many activities and outside trips, and look after each child’s individual needs (for example potty training). Get daily updates on the app including photos and videos of what your child has been doing. Very happy with the choice of nursery we made for our son. We will be sending our younger son there too, can’t think of a better endorsement than that.

    My son has been going to Queens since he was a year old, first to the baby nursery and now to the pre-school nursery. He has always been very happy to go to Queens and the various activities organised by the nursery have aided his physical, social and emotional development. The staff are very attentive to the needs of the children and any issues or problems related to the child are addressed promptly. The staff are also very prompt in recording the daily log, observations and accidents in the app, and regular feedback is provided by the staff to the parent on the development of the child. Overall, I’m very happy with the nursery and would highly recommend it to everyone.

    The nursery has caring, dedicated staff who provide excellent care to the children and our son quickly became very attached to his key worker. The garden/outside space is a little limited but this is made up for by the regular trips out to the forest and into the local community. The nursery provides a good array of special outside visitors/classes. There is an excellent onsite chef and the main food provided is varied and nutritious, with a menu that changes every 6 months or so. All in all, we have been very happy with Queens Nursery and highly recommend them.

    Absolutely outstanding nursery and preschool – our little one started in baby nursery and has progressed to pre-school. There is so much care and attention and each child is focused on and each key worker we’ve had has been so attentive and personalised their approach to our little one. They go over and above in terms of activities – e.g. forest walks and activities, clay workshops, cooking and baking and involvement and outings in the local community, as well as specialised classes and teachers for yoga, French, ballet and music – and they also do monthly home activity packs. They’re very communicative in person and via the app. Highly recommend – they really do stand out in comparison to other nurseries and preschools – staff and management are lovely and supportive and really care about what they do.

    Our twins have been attending Queen’s Nursery for nearly a year now, since transitioning from baby nursery and they love it! All the staff are very caring and friendly, and our girls talk about their keyworkers all the time at home. Our girls have come on so well. Having spent a lot of time in lockdowns, they had been quite shy, but the staff have been brilliant at helping them to settle in and build their confidence. There’s always something exciting going on, whether it be specialist classes, trips out or loads of fun activities. We love to receive the app notifications that show us what they’ve been up to! Thank you so much to all the staff, we highly recommend Queen’s Nursery!

    The staff at Queens Nursery are truly fantastic! The activities and general level of engagement are of a very high standard with considered and thoughtful themes and coordination always applied. They are a positive, energetic and wonderful influence on our two children who attends and we are so pleased with our decision to send them here. Good behaviours are instilled across all ages and classes and the practical side of nursery life (meal times, naps, potty training etc) are all exceptional. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who provide our children with a home away from home during their days there!

    My son attends Queens Nursery full time and I cannot fault his care in any way. He takes part in weekly French lessons and now uses some French in his vocabulary. There are multiple parent events monthly, which are well-planned and allow families to mix and build relationships. The manager is always at the end of the phone and email with help with anything. One of the room leaders is exceptional and my son adores her.
