July 9, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter is really happy at The Old Potting Shed Nursery, it’s a very beautiful location, with great outdoor space. They are always undertaking a variety of activities and she has made some really firm friends there who she looks forward to seeing.

July 9, 2022 at 12:00 amThe Old Potting Shed Nursery is in the most stunning location and feels like a hidden gem. My little one loves outdoors play and I know they utilise the outdoor space and grounds whenever possible. The nursery was taken over by the YMCA after about 8 months of my son attending and I’ve noticed improvements in the level of professionalism and vast improvements with the management side of things. I was very anxious sending my child into daycare as he had never been looked after by anyone else but I have no concerns anymore, both he and I feel happy and content dropping him off. I know he is always well looked after and has the loveliest days exploring and learning at The Old Potting Shed Nursery. I would certainly recommend it to other parents.

July 12, 2022 at 12:00 amThe Old Potting Shed Nursery is the perfect nursery. It’s got fantastic opportunities for the children to explore the great outdoors. They go on walks so my little one can explore nature more and they get access to the outside every day. Our little boy has settled really well into the nursery and loves going. He runs down to the door. The activities on offer are catered to each individual needs and interests and are in line with the early years foundation stage. Amazing nursery.

July 12, 2022 at 12:00 amThe Old Potting Shed has always been so welcoming to my little boy. He has settled so well and comes home full of beans. It’s great to see what he’s up to in the day on their parent app. The staff are always there to discuss things with and can really see the love and care they have towards him! Thank you team!

November 30, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has attended the Old Potting Shed for one and a half years. She is very happy there and skips in every morning. It is well-managed and there is good communication, especially via the app. Care is taken over the food preparation, so I feel confident she is eating healthy fresh food every day. The children explore lots of different well-thought-out activities and themes, indoors and outdoors. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining.

November 30, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter started in September and absolutely loves it there. The staff are warm and welcoming and she comes home singing all the songs and talking about all the things she has done that day. Their outdoor space is brilliant and I am always well up to date about how my child’s day has been. The staff are fantastic and have all made my child feel heard and cared for. Brilliant nursery with a brilliant team!

December 2, 2022 at 12:00 amAs parents, you want the best nursery for your child. I would 100% recommend The Old Potting Shed to friends and family. The staff and my little boy’s key worker are fantastic. The use of the app that parents have access to see their child’s day-to-day time at nursery is brilliant and the progression my child has made since he has been at the nursery is amazing. The setting of the nursery is beautiful and the environment is wonderful.

December 8, 2022 at 12:00 amThanks for helping our little one to settle, she is absolutely loving it. The staff have been fantastic and communication is always very good.

January 23, 2023 at 12:00 amI just wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff in the different rooms and for all the ideas, planning and fun organised for the children. It is a fantastic setting, they get so much stimulation and learning opportunities, and we’re very grateful that we have our girls attending such a nurturing place. The daily updates are wonderful to read and we feel very lucky to see what the children do.
I am really pleased with how well and quickly our youngest has settled in too. She has obviously felt well looked after.
Please pass on my gratitude to all the staff and that we think they are all amazing and doing wonderful things.

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter started at The Old Potting Shed last February and I would definitely recommend the nursery to new parents. The setting is lovely and the staff have always been brilliant with our daughter! It always seems a lovely atmosphere at drop off and pick up and we get great updates through the app so can see everything they are up to, as well as nap times/meal times etc. I feel like our daughter has made good progress since being at The Old Potting Shed and she seems to love it!

March 1, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter started at The Old Potting Shed Nursery nearly a year ago and she has thrived. She loves going into nursery each day and is constantly entertained and well looked after. The staff are all so lovely, caring and kind. The new sports programme is also a huge positive and saves having to take her to extra sports activities on a weekend. It’s also lovely that they are outside so much, going for walks around the grounds and seeing the animals nearby. She loves it here and we love it!

March 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy sixteen-month-old daughter joined the baby room at eight months old and I am so happy we chose The Potting Shed as her nursery.
The staff were excellent at working with us to help her settle and they are very good at communication. Every member of staff feels fully invested in making the experience amazing for the babies and I’m confident that I can speak to any one of them at pick up about my daughter’s progress and they are fully informed about how she is getting on.
Her days are packed with fun and varying activities and they spend a large amount of time outside playing in the gardens and the grounds of the estate.
I see my daughter’s development coming on in leaps and bounds and every fortnight we’re asked for updates on her progress at home, her interests, and any events coming up that they can incorporate at nursery.
I’m extremely happy with our experience of The Potting Shed and would happily recommend to others.

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been going to The Old Potting Shed Nursery for over 4 months now and has advanced greatly as a small toddler. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the environment is warm and inviting. The facilities are engaging, with a variety of play areas, toys, and activities to keep children engaged, all set up by the wonderful staff every day depending on the occasion. Most importantly, the children seemed to be having a great time playing and interacting with each other. Many occasions are celebrated with activities for Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day and even pancake day to name a few recent. All this is shared with us daily via the Famly App that keeps us updated on everything they do and allows us easy interaction with the staff if we need it. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, fun, and stimulating environment for their children.

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter started nursery at 11 months and took a little while to settle with the new transition. Everyone at The Old Potting Shed Nursery were incredibly supportive and the settling in process and comms was really reassuring. Her key worker was absolutely fantastic – really patient and nurturing and it didn’t take long before she was laughing and loving life at nursery. She has developed so quickly and it’s amazing to see how far she’s come which is a real credit to the nursery. It’s a beautiful setting, lots of outdoors activities but it’s the staff that really make it special. I would 100% recommend.

April 20, 2023 at 12:00 amThe Old Potting Shed is a wonderful nursery. They care about the kids and provide plenty of varied activities. My child feels cared for and enjoys attending which is the most important factor for me. I like the extra sports activities they have offered as an-add on, my child has thoroughly enjoyed learning rugby and playing with his peers.

April 20, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son joined nursery back in July 2022 when he was 19 months old. He absolutely loves his time at nursery, he has a great bond with the staff and thoroughly enjoys the activities especially the outside ones and the additional sports activities. We are very impressed with his speech since starting, his ability to do things for himself and all of the new foods he has tried and now loves. He cannot wait to get up and go to nursery in the mornings which makes us relax knowing he is having such a good time. We get daily updates, monthly updates and the communication is incredible. He always comes home happy, smiling and excited to tell us about his day. We are so happy that we have chosen this nursery and couldn’t recommend it enough.

May 21, 2023 at 12:00 amThe Potting Shed is a great nursery! The setting is fantastic (some really good, lasting memories for kids) and the staff are enthusiastic, professional and kind.
The use of open spaces is excellent and the introduction of sports is something I am really in favour of.

July 12, 2023 at 12:00 amThe Old Potting Shed Nursery is a wonderful place for my 2.5 year old boy – he loves his time at nursery and really enjoys being outdoors and exploring with all his friends. The staff are brilliant at encouraging outside play and have excellent communication on the app to let us parents know what they’ve been up to in the day!
