April 18, 2022 at 12:00 amWe cannot fault this nursery. The staff are incredible – it feels like I’m leaving my child with a family member! My child runs in in the morning and chats all the way home about the day. The staff give thoughtful and detailed feedback- they’ve even helped us out with a few things that I’d deem ‘above and beyond’- with care and love. We will be really sad to leave in July! Thank you all for giving my child such a wonderful start to their journey in education.

April 18, 2022 at 12:00 amI am happy with the care my child received at the nursery. The staff is friendly and helpful. My son is always well-fed when he comes home. I can see big improvements in his development, he talks and learns more. I just want to mention that many times after the children have been playing outside, he comes home with wet shoes or trousers. I think the outside play area has puddles or is not dry.

April 18, 2022 at 12:00 amTo begin with, I came across of few issues with the nursery that concerned me, however, I raised these with the nursery, and they were quickly addressed and sorted. Since January 2022, the nursery has massively improved, this may be due to new staff and a change around. I feel confident that my child is in the right care. I am happy sending my children there, knowing they are being looked after and in a happy safe environment.

April 19, 2022 at 12:00 amOur child is in the maple room. Whilst there have been several staff changes recently, the staff ethos from the regulars seems to be consistent, and most important to us, is that the staff are kind and loving, always willing to give cuddles and reassurance. I asked our son recently who his best friend was at nursery, and whilst I meant a child, his reply was a key worker, she is so patient and understanding with him. Two members of staff take great pride in keeping the nursery tidy and always send our son home with a clean face; they are both his go-to people for reassurance. We look forward to getting the daily updates and pictures via the app and love the artwork that comes home. The food served always reads as tasty and homemade with a few treats, which is a great balance. Academically, we are really pleased that it has given him the best start possible ahead of school, thank you.

I would highly recommend this nursery to all parents!

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amMy husband and I are really happy with the care and education provided. Two ladies, in particular, are excellent room leaders. They are caring, kind, patient, focused on education, and the children love them. Very happy.

April 26, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child loves nursery. She is kept active and entertained. Food seems to be of good quality and varied. Staff members remember your name and include you in their day. More prompt updates of the app would be great, with perhaps more pictures.

May 4, 2022 at 12:00 amOne of the best nurseries in the area. I can see lots of improvement in my child. The staff are super welcoming too, they also update the parent/guardian on things happening in the school. Will recommend!

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing nursery. Previously used another and not a patch on this one.
I love everything about it, and my child is so happy and settled.

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amI’m very happy with how far my child has come on in the nursery. I’m also very happy with how well he is looked after by everyone.

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amOur experience with the nursery has been mainly positive. Summer is an issue as my child has hay fever, and going out last summer was an issue. My child has moved up classes – this hasn’t been an issue as of yet. I’m very happy with my child’s development and social skills as a result of nursery.
Issues with the finance side of things with the nursery – usually have to query our bill monthly.

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amAll the staff are kind and transparent with feedback. I feel like my daughter is well supported and that she is developing at a great rate. There is also a wide range of activities that the children undertake.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have found St Mary’s very good for both our boys. It has helped their development in many ways. All staff have always been friendly and very helpful. We have recommended St Mary’s to many people and generally have nothing negative to say.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child appears to be content here; I have no concerns that he is being adequately cared for. The meals provided sound great, and the staff are friendly and welcoming and answered all of my questions.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent – my child always comes out with a big smile on his face, talking about all the fun things he’s been doing. His counting and writing (letter recognition) have come on no end. Would definitely recommend it.
He is always slightly upset leaving me, but the staff always bring him around and makes his day happy!

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amOverall, my child’s progress leaps and bounds at St Mary’s. I am delighted with the staff members’ efforts, and one thing I love is the food on offer. This has meant that she rarely says no to anything.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amAll the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. More importantly, the way they trail, look after and develop my child is exceptional. Her development is really impressive, which I put down to the staff of this nursery. Not only that, they are really flexible with my shift pattern and look to accommodate extra days when needed.

April 28, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child has been at St Mary’s for a number of years and has been supported and cared for at every stage. He has a medical condition, which the staff have learned about and supported us as a family. The staff know each child, their characters and quirks and develops activities and curriculum to suit them all. The children form strong attachments with the staff, which helps them feel secure and loved. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.
