September 15, 2016 at 12:00 amBoth my children have attended and I cannot say a bad word about either experience. Fantastic staff who put so much effort into planning and making the children’s days fun yet educational. A pleasant and warming arrival every morning from staff. My little girl loves going to the nursery which makes the drop offs a lot easier in the morning. Never had any issues in the last 5 years. Relevant documents of procedures are clearly displayed in the entrance as well as the home cooked menu for each day. The nursery provides plenty of opportunities for parents to stay and play/have lunch with children which is great as I love seeing what my child is like at nursery. Staff are always willing to discuss your child’s progress and have children’s files on hand for you to look through. An all round excellent nursery to which I always recommend family and friends. Could not have asked for a better experience for my children and myself.

September 15, 2016 at 12:00 amI love this nursery and have recommended it to all my friends and family. I feel as though the staff take the time to get to know me and my daughter on a personal level and I feel very comfortable leaving my child at the nursery. I find all the staff are hands on in getting to know the children, including the Manager. I feel very included in my child’s development at the nursery through daily sheets and parents evenings.

September 15, 2016 at 12:00 amBoth my children have attended Old Vicarage Nursery and both have been very happy. Really pleased how both my children have grown into confident and happy little girls.
Will be sad when my youngest leaves August 2017 as this nursery has played a special part in my children’s start of life in learning.

September 15, 2016 at 12:00 amMy son attended this nursery from aged 7.5 months til age 4. He was always entertained and he made lots of friends. The staff were very approachable and on the few occasions that I had to raise concerns, I felt comfortable to do so. The staff were very attentive to him and activities were varied and interesting.

September 19, 2016 at 12:00 amBoth my sons have attended this nursery since they were 9 months old. With both of them, I have seen a vast improvement in self-confidence, speech and their ability to interact with other children and the nursery teachers. I have found that staff and management are very focused, friendly and most importantly approachable. The location is peaceful, safe and provides a safe environment. It has the provision of home cooked, delicious and healthy food. The internal and external facilities are excellent, with a wide range of well-structured age appropriate activities. Would recommend to any parent. Thank you.

October 4, 2016 at 12:00 amMy daughter is super settled and enjoys every day. I couldn’t be happier with the staff and the nursery. Everything is fantastic. The meals are different every day and my daughter isn’t the biggest of eaters but she manages to eat all her dinner and dessert every single day!

December 1, 2016 at 12:00 amI recently moved my 17 month old to this nursery after a bad experience at his previous one. He is settling well. All of the staff have gone above and beyond in helping him to settle and he is now back to his normal happy self after nursery visits. This nursery was recommended to us and we will too be recommending to anybody that asks. A clean, happy, friendly and calm environment. Thank you for restoring our faith in nurseries!

January 12, 2017 at 12:00 amI have used The Old Vicarage Nursery for 4 years now. My little girl went there and thrived through the support and knowledge the staff bring to the nursery. She is now in school and they comment on how well my daughter has done in all areas and I believe this is completely due to the head start nursery gave her. My daughter went through a tough time a few years ago and the support she got from nursery was outstanding and not only did they support my daughter, they extended their support to me also.
My little boy now attends the nursery and he again is thriving and learning new things all the time, the nursery give regular updates and also welcome parent updates and ideas. The staff are very friendly and approachable and the nursery also provides a fantastic variety of meals for the children.
I have spoken with the owner many of times and she is very friendly and helpful. I recommend the nursery to all my friends that have children and one of them now also sends her child there.

January 23, 2017 at 12:00 amI would 100% recommend The Old Vicarage Nursery. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. My little boy absolutely loves going, and on days when he’s not there he doesn’t stop talking about it. He has developed so much since starting at The Old Vicarage and I am very thankful to all the wonderful staff. They offer an early start of 7am which is a godsend if you work shifts like me.

March 27, 2017 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery which my child loves attending. All staff are welcoming and the children seem to love them. Cannot recommend enough, will be sad to see my daughter leave for school in September as I am sure my daughter will be too.

April 10, 2017 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery!!! My daughter has been here for over a year now and I will be sending my youngest daughter here to in June. Staff are always welcoming and friendly and absolutely fantastic with all the children(and parents), nothing is ever to much trouble and the children do something new every day! I would recommend this nursery to everyone I know it’s brilliant!

June 14, 2017 at 12:00 amHelpful, welcoming staff. Nursery feels like a home from home. We were worried about our young son settling in – staff in baby room are wonderful with him and reassured us and our son opens his arms out willingly to go to a member of the nursery team, particularly two members of staff in the baby dept. Which to us speaks volumes. Home reports are a great idea.

July 24, 2017 at 12:00 amWhat a fantastic nursery this is, I can’t stress it enough. My daughter has enjoyed every second of it. She has come on in leaps and bounds, made lots of friends and I’ll be really sad to see her leave here to go to school. The teachers are so friendly and amazing with the children, there’s not one negative thing for me to say – absolutely amazing.

November 15, 2017 at 12:00 amMy son has just started this nursery and the level of care is exceptional. He has settled in so quickly and loves going to nursery. The activities they do and the time they spend with the children helping them with their development is a great relief to any parent.
I can’t wait to see how my son progresses and what he gets up to week on week.

November 20, 2017 at 12:00 amI cannot praise The Old Vicarage nursery enough. My second child is now in attendance and is already loving the baby room. He’s come on leaps and bounds already and loves the girls. I feel blessed to have my children at a nursery with such a lovely set of people who are happy to help with things both inside the nursery and at home, weaning is a great example for us recently.
Having already has one child travel throughout the nursery from baby to preschool and number 2 now starting the same journey I can honestly say it’s fantastic. The environment is excellent and the atmosphere is great. So nice to be met every day with a warm smile. My older child loves coming back to nursery to say hello to everyone, and again everyone is so welcoming to her. All round fantastic nursery.

November 20, 2017 at 12:00 amMy son has attended nursery from six months old, having started The Old Vicarage with various medical conditions, I felt very reassured that he was in very capable hands. He enjoys his time at nursery and the various activities available. The staff are very approachable and friendly and always keep me up to date with his progress. Thanks, girls you’re doing a fab job!

January 19, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending for nearly a year now and is really happy here. It has been heartwarming that my son feels like its a home away from home. The nursery is very receptive of parent’s needs as well as the children’s and they have catered to my every need and question. Initially, I had visited 2 other nurseries before I visited this one. The Old Vicarage Nursery, let me visit without an appointment and when I turned up, it was comforting to see one of the nursery nurses cleaning and wiping down all the toys and equipment in one of the rooms.
The staff work closely with patents to develop your child – they recognised my son was bright in maths and sort advice from the early years team to help his leaning. The fantastic staff, brilliant child development, a food hygiene rating of 5 and parking never being a problem are all reasons I would definitely recommend this nursery.

November 29, 2019 at 12:00 amOur experience so far with The Old Vicarage Nursery is excellent “all” the staff there are professional, kind, caring and attentive. My daughter loves going into nursery to see her friends and the staff. Having the knowledge that my daughter is happy and in a safe and clean environment, helps me relax whilst at work. We definitely chose the right establishment, 100% top marks from us.
