June 1, 2016 at 12:00 amMy daughter (aged 4) loves this nursery and I can’t rate it highly enough.
The staff are very experienced and there are a high number of qualified teachers.
It has brilliant outdoor facilities. Children can play outside all day. They incorporate many forest school activities such as regular campfires and a more wild grass area.
There is a child led approach to play and I have been amazed by how much my daughter has grown in confidence and ability during her time there.
They offer reasonably priced wrap around care and are very flexible about one off sessions. If children stay for lunch, there is great home cooked food (mostly locally sourced). They have done a great job at improving my daughter’s table manners and encouraging her to try new foods.

April 30, 2018 at 12:00 amThis nursery has a community feel and experienced, long-term staff. The babies get a lot of indoor and outdoor space to roam, and pushchairs to nap in, which most nurseries in Cambridge do not have on offer as an option. I have heard that other nurseries are quick to call parents to collect when their child cries when settling in, but the staff at the Fields will keep trying and will call only if actually required. My baby only speaks a handful of words, one of them being ‘please’ which he learned at nursery. They work with parent preferences for weaning styles – my baby was baby-led only and they fully supported that. The quality of care and dedicated staff at this nursery make it outstanding.

May 16, 2018 at 12:00 amThe Fields Children’s Centre nursery is an amazing place. My son is in the Bluebell room for two-year-olds and he is really happy there.
The staff are amazing and if I ever have a worry, they always put my mind at ease. My son adores his key worker and she’s always there to support his development, as well as support his routine and making sure he has naps etc as he would do at home.
The children have a variety of activities to keep them busy which varies each day. The outdoor area is brilliant and my son spends most of his time there exploring and playing.
The kitchen is run by a friendly team, who make sure the children are given healthy and nutritional food.
The nursery truly is a home from home for us, as my daughter was there before she went to school. The care and support of the staff is brilliant and is reflected in my happy little boy who enjoys his time there. It really is a special place, with a real sense of community where I know my children are safe and happy.
