    The nursery has been a huge part of our lives for eight years with two children. It has been consistently fantastic. We have always been looked after and our sons have thrived. I would recommend West Cambridge Nursery to everyone, in fact I do! We will all miss you.

    The nursery is amazing. Both my children are extremely happy and the care is just incredible. The facilities and activities are engaging and the things the children can do are so stimulating and educational. I could not be happier with them. All the staff are amazing.

    Our child loves nursery and has made wonderful progress with their learning and confidence while there. We are excited about their upcoming transition to the preschool room. It is lovely to see the hard work put in by staff, this is reflected in the constantly improving activities and spaces. The preschool room is so inviting and our child talks enthusiastically about all the fun they have as well as what they want to do next time they go. Thank you all so much!

    Very good care and excellent staff. Always go the extra mile. We have had children at the nursery for 7 years and are very happy with the care provided.

    We first joined University Cambridge Nursery when our daughter was eight months old, and we will leave the nursery when she will join reception in September. Over the years, we have received amazing support. Staff helped us settle down when our daughter was still a baby and made us feel totally supported always. They were giving us detailed information on her day at the nursery and are always keen on answering questions. They always follow the child’s needs but also encourage her to take steps forward without being pushy. Staff are always smiling at us, and they are all very friendly. It feels like a family house. We have received amazing support over the lockdowns when our child is visiting schools for assessment. We feel fortunate that our daughter has attended this nursery. I would strongly recommend it without hesitation.

    Our children have been at this wonderful nursery for several years. I can clearly say that i cannot speak highly enough of it. Our children are looked after with the highest standards. All the staff are friendly, warm and engaging. Our children are looked after excellently and nothing is too much trouble for the staff no matter if it is learning or play, we know our children are getting the best here.

    My baby has a very good experience in this nursery. She is very happy and learned a lot in a short period. She’s keen to go to nursery every morning. All the staff are helpful, patient and provide fantastic care to her.

    West Cambridge is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has been in the caterpillar room since August and the care she has been given has been exceptional. The staff always have a big smile on their faces and make my daughter smile all day long. Thank you to everyone, for the care you give her.

    Excellent nursery made us and our child so welcome. The care is exemplary and the staff is understanding and caring, and really want to help and make it fun for our child. It takes a village to raise a child and they are our village.

    The nursery provides excellent care for children. The practitioners are caring and mindful. They observe children developing and help with further learning. I really like that majority of them are really excited about the child’s progress and share that with parents with pride which shows that they really care.

    My son has been attending University Nursery at West Cambridge for 3 months and he appears to be thriving thanks to the hard work of the team. The nursery were very flexible as he settled in, sent regular updates via the app to alleviate my concerns and have helped my son become confident in a new environment. Now he happily crawls into the room each morning and is always smiling when I pick him up!

    Not only did the nursery meet all our expectations but, in many areas, they exceeded them. I personally feel that the best thing about this nursery is its exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff. We were very impressed at how quickly our son started enjoying and looking forward to going to the nursery. We also like how we get regular updates of our son’s daily activities and how well he is meeting his development goals. I highly recommend them and wish them all the best with running this great nursery.

    We have loved West Cambridge right from the first visit! The staff are all amazing and make each child feel a valued and loved individual. It’s a large setting, but has such a lovely family feel. We really couldn’t imagine sending our child anywhere else!

    Our child has always had a fantastic time whenever our child visits. It is a big step taking your little ones to nursery and away from home.
    We have felt incredibly comfortable with out little one coming to West Cambridge nursery. Sometimes it would be nice to have their lunches!

    We have been really happy with the nursery and felt our daughter has been very well looked after. Her key person is lovely and our daughter has really bonded well with her. She has grown a lot in confidence since being there and it is so comforting to us as parents to know that she is in good hands and always has a lovely day. It also seems very well run, the food looks delicious and varied. The staff are always very helpful. We will be sad to leave when we move home.

    We have had our twins full-time at nursery for nearly four years. Our children are about to leave to start reception. Words are not enough to describe how grateful we feel to all West Cambridge personnel Everyone including key persons and practitioners, the management team have contributed incredibly to our kids’ development and growth throughout all this time. West Cambridge Nursery is like the extended family we could not see through difficult times during the pandemic. They feel like family as this is how they have treated us and our children. Thank you so much for everything.

    We love Cambridge Nursery! Our son is so happy here and really thriving. The staff are brilliant, really friendly, helpful and understanding. Our son has a number of food allergies and staff are great at ensuring he still gets a balanced diet and gets to eat things which are similar to his friends as much as possible. We’re currently expecting our second and the nursery has been fantastic at supporting us – taking our child for extra sessions when needed and incorporating taking care of the dolls into their activities and discussing the new baby with our son to help his adjustment! They also have a collection of books and toys they’ve lent us to use, read and play with at home to also ease things. The nursery is such a lovely community. We can’t recommend enough!
