There are multiple opportunities for parents to visit from sports days to Mother’s Day mornings.  We particularly loved it because of the exposure to nature at the forest. On top of this kids get to watch chicks hatching and go on regular countryside walks. Both my children have ran in happily every day.",

They go above and beyond to create a varied itinerary for the children with lots of visitors  teaching new skills such as dancing, cooking and hand wasing. I cannot thank the staff enough for their consistent enthusiasm and care.  My daughter has loved her time at Ashdon Children's Nursery and has established confidence, skills and friendships she can now carry with her to the next step of primary school.",

The team make the effort to provide the children with new experiences which have included looking after chicks, spanish and dance lessons and pop up play sessions. The communication has always been great, and most importantly both of my children have expressed feeling safe and cared for when at Ashdon.",

Whenever I drop them off or collect them I am always so encouraged hearing how the staff speak to them, the same way I try to (when I’m not frazzled and at the end of my tether). It’s always hard leaving your children in the care of someone but I couldn’t ask for better people than all the fantastic staff at Ashdon Nursery. I highly recommend Ashdon to everyone I speak to.",

I have had 2 children go to Ashdon Nursery. It has been a wonderful experience. The staff are kind and attentive and the setting is amazing. There are multiple opportunities for parents to visit from sports days to Mother’s Day mornings. We particularly loved it because of the exposure to nature at the forest. On top of this kids get to watch chicks hatching and go on regular countryside walks. Both my children have ran in happily every day.

Having tried several nurseries beforehand, I can hands down say Ashdon Children's Nursery is by far the best. The whole atmosphere the staff create is so friendly and welcoming for both children and their families. They go above and beyond to create a varied itinerary for the children with lots of visitors teaching new skills such as dancing, cooking and hand wasing. I cannot thank the staff enough for their consistent enthusiasm and care. My daughter has loved her time at Ashdon Children's Nursery and has established confidence, skills and friendships she can now carry with her to the next step of primary school.

I have had two children attend Ashdon Nursery and cannot rate the team there highly enough. The grounds and environment are so enriching for the children and they spend a lot of time outside which is great. Both of my children have been helped with their development and have been well prepared for school. The team make the effort to provide the children with new experiences which have included looking after chicks, spanish and dance lessons and pop up play sessions. The communication has always been great, and most importantly both of my children have expressed feeling safe and cared for when at Ashdon.

The best children's nursery around, in such a beautiful setting. The staff are wonderful and kind and always have the children's best interest at heart. The nursery follows lovely traditions with little Christmas shows, special themed days, watching real eggs hatch, forest school, farm animal days there is something for every child. Wish I had more kids to send through, but 4 is probably my limit. I wish you all the best with many more years of happiness for little ones. Thank you for looking after my babies. x

Ashdon nursery has been great for my two kids. Whenever I drop them off or collect them I am always so encouraged hearing how the staff speak to them, the same way I try to (when I’m not frazzled and at the end of my tether). It’s always hard leaving your children in the care of someone but I couldn’t ask for better people than all the fantastic staff at Ashdon Nursery. I highly recommend Ashdon to everyone I speak to.
