Ruddington Day Nursery

Lovely rural setting with an outdoorsy ethos. Staff are caring, helpful and imaginative, and have a wonderful rapport with the children. Both of our children absolutely love going to nursery there and have had some fantastic experiences.

My daughter settled in here so beautifully thanks to the warm, professional staff. Communication has been excellent and she has progressed well with milestones and socially. She has built lovely relationships with the staff and is always happy going to nursery. We are moving to a partner nursery soon as we are moving house, which they have been supportive and flexible with. A fab nursery I would highly recommend.

Staff are caring towards children.
Activities are well thought out and build upon learning.
Good opportunities for play based learning.
Children are encouraged to try new things and celebrated.
When you have built a good relationship with a key worker, good communication is given on pick-up and drop-off, but this is not always consistent.
With the new electronic system. Communication, observations and diaries have improved.
The amount of time for exploring outside is outstanding and helps build for a love of being outside with nature.
More community events could be offered to bring families together and share magic moments with the children.
Overall this is a good nursery and I would promote it to others and send future children here.

The nursery is Excellent in general. My kid returns home very happy so they must have been doing a really great job for our children.
I have only one request if they can put in mind – In pre-school, we don’t get a detailed feedback on what the kid was doing throughout the day.
The application is so deficient or even doesn’t say anything other than the child going from one room to the other, nothing about meals, interactive or learning activities, and it is not satisfactory to just speak with the childcare provider during the pickups. There’s always a long waiting queue and everyone is busy with his schedule, and almost many things are left unsaid.
So if it is possible to just give us complete feedback regarding this in the app, we will be more than grateful especially if the child doesn’t know how to speak or narrate what happened with him during the day.

An absolutely outstanding nursery in every way. My daughter has learnt so much and is happy to go every day. The experiences she gets are great and I know she is gaining so much by attending. The team should be really proud of the great experience they provide.

Lovely nursery! The staff are kind and caring; they always go the extra mile to make my daughter feel happy and safe, and the outside space is great – my daughter loves looking at the horses.
I would recommend it to family and friends looking for a nursery.

Lovely nursery with caring and engaged staff. They provide a wide variety of age-appropriate activities and lots of outdoor active play. Good at responding to the individual child’s needs and parental concerns.
