Shoebury Nursery

My daughter has been at Shoebury Nursery since she was 9-months and now leaving for school. My son has been there a year since he was 10-months. This was the first and only setting I looked at. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The staff are amazing. My kids don’t even say goodbye to us in the morning as they are so excited about going. They keep us updated on the app and provide photos and updates on the kid’s activities.

My son has been attending Shoebury Nursery since 2019, and he loves it. Certain things changed during the pandemic, understandably, and the staff were put under pressure, but they managed very well, and now, things are returning to what they once were. I will be sad when it is time for my son to leave for school.

My daughter is very happy at this nursery. She runs in without a backwards glance most days. Great outdoor areas for the kids to play. Varied lunches throughout the week.
Online chats are available through the nursery app, which is great, and I always get a response back. The nursery has also been extremely helpful whenever I have a question about funding or any other general queries.

Would highly recommend. They provide a fun, caring and familiar setting for the children, and mine have never had any qualms in leaving me to enter the nursery each day. I have zero doubts in the staff’s capabilities and know they provide a great learning environment for all the children.

A lovely, clean, nicely decorated nursery with displays and children’s work, with happy to talk staff and lots of nice activities and learning done every day. Children seem happy and enjoy being there.

I find all who work at Shoebury Nursery to always be very kind and helpful. They’ve been fantastic with my daughter who struggled initially with being separated from me but now she can’t wait to go each day and has formed fantastic relationships with the staff. She has also made great progress in her speech and being able to interact with other children since joining back in February.

Shoebury Nursery is outstanding. The staff are exceptionally caring and clearly have drive and passion in teaching the children. I receive regular updates and notifications from each session. I particularly like the session updates about whether my daughter has eaten. The Family app is brilliant and easy to follow. Any communications from either the parent or school can be documented. I find the competency milestones a great feature as it allows me to know how my daughter is doing. My friend’s children are at other nurseries and are not fortunate to have this level of communication. My daughter has been at the nursery for some time now, and she has become a confident child who is always wanting to go to each session to meet with her friends and teachers. She has had personal sickness time and the staff are always willing to make adjustments and help where possible. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough and am extremely grateful for helping her have the best possible start.

Shoebury Nursery provides healthy meals and basics throughout the day. On a personal level, the staff are always available to help one-on-one with any difficulties we may be facing at home i.e reassurance with potty training and personalised plans if struggling with food. They take the time to really care for each individual pupil which is something I value in a learning environment, and although the day rate is pricey, I wouldn’t take my child to anywhere else.

My son has been at Shoebury Nursery since he was 5 months old and we have been so happy with the support and care he has been given in the 3 years he has been with them. I was so nervous leaving him at the beginning and the staff supported my son and myself through the early days. He has grown in confidence and personality throughout the years. The app keeps you updated with events and allows easy communication with staff including photos of your child. There is a range of facilities and a proactive approach about getting children outside to learn which is great.

Very friendly and caring people who provide excellent communication to make you feel very comfortable and well informed. Our daughter has a fun time, learns a lot and is well looked after. Really appreciate everything they do.
