September 8, 2024 at 5:07 amHe’s heading to reception in September, and I believe he will be ready for this next transition! He created excellent friendships that hopefully will carry on in school, and we will definitely miss everyone from Sycamore! My son has been in the childcare centre for the past two years now, and the assistance he had throughout this time was incredible!

September 11, 2024 at 1:26 pmMy older daughter started at nine months old and she’ll be off to school in September after four years in the care of Sycamore House! We chose Sycamore because of the curiosity approach, the home-from-home, comforting sense of the house, the activities and, most of all, we could see how much the team cared for the kids. Their kid-led creative approach has allowed both our kids to blossom into confident, cheerful, secure and well-loved little girls. Their key-people are so unbelievably attentive and invested in their happiness, well-being and discovering. But, they have fantastic relationships with all of the team. We’ve felt very lucky to end up with such remarkable childcare that makes the drop offs that bit easier! The car park is a bit tricky at busy times, but all of the parents are understanding of each other. We adore the childcare centre and would suggest to anyone looking for a great childcare centre in Bishop’s Stortford. Both my kids attend the childcare centre.

September 14, 2024 at 5:06 amMy daughter has been going for a year now, and although she still cries at drop-off, she soon calms down, and I receive regular pictures and videos of her having the best time. The activities shown in the updates are consistently different, enjoyable and focused on development. My daughter is very shy around other kids and likes to have one adult who she then will cling to. The childcare centre has been very great with ensuring that she has had one lady as her key person from the start. This lady is just exceptional, and you can tell at every handover on collection that she knows everything about the day my daughter has spent there. My daughter is growing in self‑assurance and is calmer being left with the other team members. All the team are incredible and go above and beyond.
The menu is also excellent, and my daughter consistently eats well there.
Only negative – the car park! You can tell from the very first tour of the childcare centre that the team are very passionate about the kids and their development.

September 15, 2024 at 12:10 amThe team are consistently welcoming and expert, and the kids create a great and positive bond with them.
Management gives so much care and attention, not only to the kids but to the parents – consistently available to have a confidential chat.
The childcare centre could do with some more toys and resources; I would say that they are 5 for indoors and 4.5 for outdoors.
It is a long day, and with food and everything included, we think we get a great package. The care provided is exceptional and genuine.

September 17, 2024 at 10:32 pmDuring her settling-in sessions, the team were very attentive and understanding, it was not long before she was happily reaching her arms out towards them at drop offs. Every day my little one is greeted with a inviting, welcoming hello and is offered a variety of activities both inside and outside to take part in. She is offered well balanced and healthy snacks and meals, and is very well cared for whilst at childcare centre. The team get to know every kid individually, their likes and dislikes, their current schema, what they have been up to outside of the childcare centre, and pull all of this into their education and development. We are regularly updated on the app, giving information and photos about what they have done that day. Both my little one and I adore the childcare centre and would highly suggest it. I was a little nervous when my little one started at Sycamore House in January as she was very attached to me and did not often choose to move away from me at toddler groups.

October 11, 2024 at 5:08 pmShe quickly settled and made strong bonds with the team – as she was my first I felt like I was leaving my most precious possession in the hands of a stranger but they were so supportive. I straight away noticed the positive journey the childcare centre had on her, supporting her development and helping her become independent. Our son has now started and we’re seeing the same positive development, he’s so confident and sociable, they both adore it. The team are fantastic and attentive, they adore the kids and are constantly setting up enjoyable activities. The garden is a really big space with lots to do and uncover – the kids really get to explore and I adore that they use more real-life and natural open-ended objects for playtime! It’s with a heavy heart that my daughter leaves for school – I know she is more than ready but she’s had such a positive journey at Sycamore and made some lovely friends, we will miss the team too. Our daughter has attended Sycamore since she was 10 months old.

October 14, 2024 at 4:24 pmI adore receiving picture and video updates on the app whilst I’m working.
The team are all very welcoming and supportive, and a special thank you to one member of team, who is extremely thorough with any questions I have or letting me know how my son’s day has gone. My son (15 months) has attended here since March and has come on leaps and bounds since.

November 4, 2024 at 12:07 amWe have had an extremely positive journey and would highly suggest it.
It is a very well-managed childcare centre, and all the team that we have come across are outstanding. We like the ethos of the childcare centre, and the activities that the kids are able to journey are both creative and educational. The food offering is also impressive.
We receive regular photographs and videos so can see how much our kids are enjoying themselves and discovering. There is regular feedback to parents, and the team are keen to hear about new interests and skills that the kids are developing at home so as to continue to nurture these when at childcare centre.
It consistently feels like a very cheerful place with team who really care about the kids as individuals and who ensure that they are treated as such.
We are extremely cheerful with our choice of childcare centre. Two of our kids currently attend Sycamore House, and our eldest kid left recently to go to school, having attended since she was just over 6 months old.

November 7, 2024 at 11:27 amManagement is extremely welcoming and consistently available to answer questions.
I am confident her curiosity and inquisitive nature are being nurtured by the setting’s plentiful indoor and outdoor nature-based resources combined with team who are engaging and positive.
The food is all provided and has catered for my daughter individually while she is weaning which has provided excellent peace of mind. My daughter’s journey at the childcare centre so far has been fantastic, and the team have been very thoughtful and reassuring, from her settling-in sessions to now having regular updates, planning and photos of how she is getting on, which are lovely to share with the rest of the family!

November 26, 2024 at 1:37 amHe has gone from being a shy, nervous little boy to a confident, bubbly toddler, and I credit much of that change to the incredible team at Sycamore House. I get the feeling that the team here really care about him, and I think he can sense that too. It’s a inviting, welcoming place full of fantastic practitioners who truly care for the kids. Enrolling our son in Sycamore House is one of the best things we have ever done.

December 5, 2024 at 2:26 amThey know our twins so well, they look after them beautifully, and they take outstanding care of them at all times. We have been so impressed with the childcare centre in every aspect and would highly suggest it. I have every self‑assurance in sending my kids there. The team are simply fantastic.
Hayden Frost
December 21, 2024 at 9:02 pmShe settled really quickly in the baby room with lots of lovely assistance from her key worker. We’re really cheerful with the education she is receiving and couldn’t suggest the childcare centre more. The team are so attentive towards our daughter, and she loves going to Sycamore House.
Jesse Steele
December 28, 2024 at 9:22 amThe team are very welcoming and it feels like they know and understand our kids. There is plenty there to keep them engaged and cheerful and, as a family, we have felt supported in our journey, from baby room up to preschool room. Both our kids have loved going to Scyamore House.
Shawn Taylor
January 19, 2025 at 9:22 amThe team are welcoming, and any obstacles our kid has faced, the childcare centre offers their full assistance and our kid’s well-being is the top priority. Both our kids are cheerful and looked after, and we can’t suggest this childcare centre enough! Both our kids have been at Sycamore since they were 9 months, and both have grown in self‑assurance throughout, and they look forward to going to childcare centre.

January 25, 2025 at 9:47 amThe team have consistently ensured our son’s needs have been attended to, and they’ve done a excellent job working on all the different aspects of his development. The childcare centre itself is a decent size with a great garden at the back and conveniently located close to the town centre. Parking is adequate but can get a bit cramped during rush hour. Our son has been in the preschool area for over a year now, and he loves it! The preschool area has plenty of rooms and different activities to keep him engaged and busy. All the team members are very welcoming, and it’s evident they take pride in the excellent work they do – I can tell they genuinely care about the kids, which is excellent! We’re definitely going to send our youngest in when he’s old enough. Highly recommended – keep up the great work, guys. Our son has been attending Sycamore House childcare centre for the past 18 months, and so far, the journey has been very positive.

March 22, 2025 at 6:49 pmThrough this time, we have been impressed by how carrying, expert and welcoming all the team have been. Team consistently work extremely hard to ensure kids have stimulating, joyful as well as secure times at their childcare centre.
The team ensure kids are at the heart of the childcare centre, creates personalised plans to assistance kids’s development, seeks advice and guidance from parents on what special interest kids have, and makes sure activities are tailored around it. As parents, we receive daily updates on our little one’s time at childcare centre, as well as developmental review updates with a guide on how else we can assistance our little one’s development.
We have seen excellent development in our son’s development since he started attending the childcare centre, and we would strongly suggest it to any parent looking for a secure, developing and cheerful place for their little one. Our son has been attending the Sycamore House Day Childcare centre for almost a year now.
Reese Sharpe
April 25, 2025 at 11:18 pmHe loves every activity, and he is cuddled when he needs it, and as a mom, I am so cheerful that he gets the affection he needs on a daily basis to help his emotional development.
The team works with us, the parents, really well, and they do all they can for the kids to develop.
Cannot suggest the childcare centre enough!
A excellent choice. Since we had our view, we felt like this was the one for us, and we still sense the same way. My son has been in Sycamore House since he was one year old, and he progressed so well with the fantastic team.
Reese Delaney
June 25, 2025 at 10:29 amMy son, who is now six, still insists on picking up his sister from childcare centre so he can see the team. They treated my kids with so much adore and care, and they both adore it there. They consistently communicate any concerns and are willing to work together to rectify them. I really adore this childcare centre and would definitely suggest it. The team at Sycamore House Day Childcare centre have been fantastic to both of my kids.
Drew Blair
June 27, 2025 at 11:07 amFast forward to November, and I am so glad we came across Sycamore. The team are so lovely, consistently welcoming and so attentive. One member of team isn’t my daughter’s key worker, but she adores him, and he’s fab with her. My little one is consistently cheerful at drop off, which gives lots of peace of mind as well. We have now signed her up for another day and will be cancelling the childcare centre I originally wanted her to go to! My 13-month-old started in September 2022 attending, one day a week, as the childcare centre we wanted to put her in didn’t have availability.

June 29, 2025 at 8:44 amMy granddaughter loves going and chatting about all the things she has done in the day. The team are second to none for the care and attention my granddaughter has recieved. Her development has come along in leaps and bounds. Well done to the team. Sycamore childcare centre is one of the best nurseries in the area.
