August 15, 2017 at 12:00 amThis is such a nice setting. I found that all the staff were really friendly and welcoming. My little girl was always so happy here. The staff were lovely and I would fully recommend this place for little ones as a nice place for them to grow.

August 29, 2017 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending the nursery for several years and grown in confidence since he started. The staff are so welcoming and do an amazing job with the children. My son leaves this year to start school and he is sad as he has made some lovely friends. The staff will also be missed, it feels more like a family than just a nursery.

September 15, 2017 at 12:00 amA Flying Start Nursery is outstanding, the staff are incredible at their jobs and every member of staff is warm and welcoming. They go above and beyond for every child in their care.
My daughter has attended the nursery for just under two years, she is very advanced and intelligent for her age and its thanks to the skills and the teachers in general, that she has come so far in such a short space of time. I as a mother cannot thank the nursery enough for all that they do and that they are. Best nursery ever!

December 28, 2017 at 12:00 amThis is an amazing nursery and I would not send my son elsewhere – everyone who knows him has commented on how far he has come since attending. My son has additional needs, dietary requirements and is medicated, and the nursery are very accommodating with this. All the staff are brilliant, my only complaint is that I can’t bring the staff home with me when I pick my son up!
He comes out with new things every day and I am kept well informed of his progress. I looked at several nurseries and childminders before visiting A Flying Start and as soon as I walked around, I couldn’t wait to enrol him. I am trying to convince my other half to have another baby just so I can send them here! It has never felt like I am paying for a service, it just literally feels like my son’s extended family.

August 7, 2018 at 12:00 amThe nursery has a home from home feel and made my daughter feel very welcome. The nursery study different topics with the children and share information with parents on a regular basis. We have been very happy with the care provided by the friendly staff.

September 21, 2018 at 12:00 amA Flying Start Nursery went above and beyond to help my shy boy settle in. It was the first place he had been left without friends or family. But the staff helped him feel safe and secure so he really enjoyed going. It was lovely to see him learn new skills that will be with him for the rest of his life. Really appreciate everything they have done – would definitely recommend.

October 28, 2019 at 12:00 amWe have 2 children at Flying Start full time – aged 2.5 and 4 (attended since 12 months old). They are both been well supported in their development and, most importantly, both love nursery, running in each day and greeting the manager or one of the other staff. They have made good friendships and get to spend time with each other as well as separately making friends with peers.
Nursery are supportive of our childs’ speech delay and have implemented various activities into his daily routine to support his speech development. They work well with us when potty training and developing other learning. Staff are always happy to talk at pick up or drop off.
They have good outdoor space which is suitable for all-weather and they do organised sports once a week. We provide a packed lunch and a dinner to be warmed up which I really appreciate as I know exactly what they are eating and how much and it means we don’t get fussiness when I cook at home!

May 25, 2021 at 12:00 amThis is such a wonderful nursery. My daughter absolutely loves it and couldn’t wait to go each week. I felt completely confident she was well looked after, and there was a lot of input/great activities each day. The staff are all amazing and lovely and friendly. The communication is excellent, and I really feel my daughter has come along well from being here. The setting is gorgeous out in the country – couldn’t ask for anything more!

May 27, 2021 at 12:00 amI cannot recommend this nursery enough! My little boy absolutely loves it here. He struggles with additional needs, and all staff go above and beyond to settle him and include him in every activity, but keeping a beautiful level of discipline at the same time, which he needs. Highly recommend!

October 21, 2021 at 12:00 amAfter having so many struggles with a previous nursery, coming here has been brilliant. The manager and all her staff really put my mind at rest that my child would be cared for and looked after while in this setting. Communication has always been great, very clear and quick to respond, which I’ve found important. My child has enjoyed going here and often talks about what he’s done during the day. Also, on days he’s not due to go, he asks if he can go there. So obviously they’re doing something right! Since starting here my child’s development has come on in leaps and bounds and I can’t thank them all enough for the impact they’ve had on him. They’ve really made a difference in his life and certainly helped form the base for learning when he eventually goes to school. I wish we didn’t have to leave and I can only hope his next setting is as good as here. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an amazing nursery for their little ones.

December 17, 2021 at 12:00 amI would highly recommend this Nursery to parents! The staff are friendly, approachable and extremely lovely people. Overall atmosphere and quality of the nursery is amazing. Such a range of things for the children to do, inside and out. I was so worried about how my child would settle in, but the staff gave me complete confidence that he would be 100% fine and he was. My child settled in quickly and happily. He loves going into Nursery, he doesn’t even give a second look back at me when leaving, he gets stuck straight in with everyone there. That’s how comfortable and confident he has become!

December 21, 2021 at 12:00 amOur little boy has been at The Anchor for 3 months. In this time his communication and language skills have come on in leaps. He’s settled in quicker than I initially thought that he would and I can see how safe and relaxed he feels with the staff. They provide a great diverse range of food and activities. The facilities are lovely and have a real home from home feel. As far as value for money, it’s one of the most competitive in the area. The staff have been really welcoming and reassuring and have been very flexible with easing into a schedule and very accommodating of our cloth nappies. I would recommend viewing the Anchor if you are looking for a nursery in the area.

January 21, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter started at The Anchor in May 2021 (15 months old at the time). We cannot believe how quickly she settled, especially as her social contact had been limited, due to covid. Without a doubt, this was due to the staff being so kind, warm, welcoming and caring towards her. She continues to be so happy at nursery and loves going in. The staff are passionate about the children and this is reflected in our daughter’s happiness there. We would highly recommend the nursery, it’s a beautiful setting and its smaller size gives it a personal touch.

August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amAs I am quite familiar with nurseries I had very high expectations. My son has attended The Anchor Day Nursery & Preschool since he was 4 months old. The staff have always looked after him and made him feel loved and special. Every time I talked to a member of the team, they were giving generous feedback and seemed very open to discussions. I’ve never felt judged. Be assured your child will thrive in a secure, comforting and exciting environment. Everything feels very tailored and appropriate to the needs of every single child present in the nursery. This setting is by far one of the best I have ever seen!

September 27, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter enjoyed 10 months at the Anchor Nursery before joining Pre-school. The setting and staff are lovely and always very welcoming. My daughter always had lots to say at the end of the day about what she had been doing/learning. I am very pleased how well she developed whilst at The Anchor, especially with her confidence and eating.

July 7, 2023 at 12:00 amFeel really sad leaving this nursery, my son absolutely thrived there. He started at 7 months and they were great when he was so little. He is now a walking toddler who strolls right in and loves to see all of his friends and favourite nursery workers. They have a great relationship with my child which is seen when he gets there and is happy to see them. Really lovely setting and lovely people run this nursery.
