    My son has been attending Spring since he was 2-years-old. I knew I chose the right nursey as the staff were all extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about my son’s allergies. He settled in straight away and comes home very excited every day ready to tell me about all his friends and activities he’s done. He speaks very highly of all staff, including management. Communication is amazing! I know what he’s done throughout the day and what he’s eaten (meal and amount). They are very accommodating if I need help with my son, ie, toilet training. I feel my son is very safe here (building and hygiene). I always tell my friends about it and have also got my grandson into Spring, so he can have a great journey too.

    Our son has thrived at this nursery! Management is approachable and friendly, with staff being professional in their conduct. They go above and beyond in their care for the children. They have been brilliant throughout the pandemic putting measures in place to ensure the safety of children and staff.

    Freshly prepared healthy meals prepared onsite each day, and there is a variety of fruit and vegetables incorporated into the menu.

    Our son’s progress is regularly documented each week with information for us to help him continue to develop. Our son comes home each day excited to tell us about what he has learned and will be sad to leave when he starts school in September. I highly recommend this nursery!

    Find the staff interact well with the children and very friendly and knowledgeable. My Granddaughter has a great time and is given plenty of opportunities to explore and discover new things through the good activities they provide.

    Really good contact with the manager and all team. Son is very happy. He is learning new things every time. I definitely recommended the nursery. If I have questions, I always got information in-app or face to face.

    The staff, especially management, are very nice and cooperative. I feel relaxed as my daughter is in safe hands. I highly recommend everyone to visit them for their child. My child’s vocabulary is building, and she started to speak full English sentences.

    My kids have been going to Spring Nursery First Steps Allenton, and they are happy to go there every day. The supporting facility is amazing and great support. Individual attention is given to each kid and ensures proper feedback is given to parents. Additional care is given to special-ability kids. Overall, a great nursery for the kids to begin.

    My son (3 years) has been going to this nursery for about a year now, and he has had such a wonderful and positive experience. He’s learnt so much by spending his time at this nursery – from building his English vocabulary (whilst equally being heard in his native language) to picking up good manners such as saying thank you, please and waiting for his turn. He loves the varied and exciting activities offered, from sensory and messy play to being outdoors and water play. I have always found the staff very helpful and responsive, and they always give very detailed feedback. The nursery has been especially super resourceful and supportive throughout the toilet training period for my child, and I am really grateful to them. The only feedback on improvement that I will like to give will be to have more frequent observations on the app, as I really look forward to them. Overall, I definitely recommend this nursery for children and will also be sending my younger one there soon.

    Since my son has attended the nursery, he has come on a long way. He has come out of his shell and is speaking a lot more. He is using his manners and telling us when he is happy, sad or scared. He couldn’t say anything like this before he started. He can now drink out of a cup which we struggled to get him to do until nursey had taught him. We couldn’t be happier with the nursery. We are so appreciative of them all for how much they have helped our child.

    My son’s come so far.
    Talking more, knowing songs, games and improving communication.
    Freshly made food.
    Got feedback on what they are doing and eating when he is in the nursery.

    My eldest son started spring nursery almost two years ago now, and he has thrived within the setting. The nursery has been brilliant in assisting him with his learning and understanding his additional needs. They have worked hand-in-hand with other professionals to ensure he gets the best learning experience possible and one that is personally adapted to him. My youngest son also now attends this nursery and is also thriving. We get daily updates through the in-house app for both children detailing activities that they have done/foods eaten etc. The nursery is always on top form when it comes to communication with parents/adults, both via phone and messages on the app.
    Both my children are very happy here, and both of us parents are also more than satisfied that they are doing well, kept safe and having fun.

    My toddler is thriving in First Steps, developing friendships, independence and learning. His key worker adores him and gives us great updates each time we pick him up to let us know how he has gotten on during the day. We love the app to see how he has slept and what he’s eaten live through the day

    An amazing team! I completely recommend this nursery!
    They helped my child a lot with getting ready for school and learning to speak better English.
    So happy that I found the perfect nursery for him!

    They are a very amazing team. Really patient with my son, and I have noticed very considerable changes in my son behaviour. He is behaving and trying to be independent in his way of doing things even though he just turned three years old. The school premises looks and feels clean, and the staff are very supportive and friendly with the kids and parents alike. They also have very capable handlers.
    I love the app also as it is very user-friendly, and we get updates on his progress and growth.
    I would recommend this school to any friend… or enemy.

    Been amazing with my little boy, who does require extra support and has been supportive of us all as a family.Friendly and caring staff. I would highly recommend this nursery.
    My youngest has just started also, and she loves it here, always greeted by smiley, friendly staff. My children are happy to leave me to go to nursery. All different meals for the children to choose from and snack times they have – all different snacks available. This nursery adapts to every child’s needs because every child is different.

    My daughter started nursery when she was 2 1/2 years old. She didn’t know English at all.
    From week to week, we could see improvements in her English language, and that’s thanks to the staff.
    They look after the kids, for sure.
    I would definitely recommend this nursery!
    Lovely staff and easy to approach.
    A very satisfied parent.

    I am happy with their service, and my child is learning so many new things. The staff are always updating me when my child does new things and takes part in activities. All the classrooms or activity rooms are properly clean and tidy.

    My daughter started nursery when she was three years old. She didn’t know English at all. We can see massive progress, and every day she’s getting more and more confident.
    I would definitely recommend this nursery!
    Lovely staff.

    Very good nursery. They keep you updated on what your child has been doing throughout the day via the app on your mobile; they send pictures and notes as to when they nap and eat. Would recommend this nursery.

    I am extremely happy with the staff and with their service.
    My daughter is learning so many new things every day. She settled very well. Staff updates me on her learning progress, and they always tell me about her day. She became more happy to try new meals since she joined the nursery. She became much more independent in her play and washing her hands.
    I am looking forward to seeing her grow and see her make many new friends as she gets older.
