I am so happy I found the Bilingual Day Nursery! I was very keen for my little boy to grow up with other languages and what a better way than complete immersion with his key worker at nursery! Aside from the language aspect that I love so much, I really like the Ravenstone site, the rooms are well equipped and the garden is fantastic. The staff are all really friendly and really helped my very clingy 9-month old adjust to being away from mummy! It is a relatively small team, which means everyone knows my child personally, he is not just another kid in the cohort!

As parents, we couldn’t be more emphatic about how incredible Bilingual Ravenstone are! There is nothing this nursery will do to go above and beyond for your children. The staff are warm, friendly and so very caring. The extra curricular activities they put in place to enrich the learning for the children further than norm is exemplary. They are immersed in the surrounding environment, through play, learning and education and we absolutely love the Forest School style of teaching. Thank you so much for taking such good girl of our eldest, we will so sad to say goodbye when she goes to school.

My son has been coming to this nursery for the past 6 months. He loves his days at nursery, he has come on leaps and bounds since coming here. He can understand both English and Spanish. He loves going out in all weathers, and really enjoys the forest part of the nursery. All the staff are very approachable, I know he is well looked after when he is there. They update you throughout the day and upload photos of what my son has been doing. His key worker is very informative of what they have been doing and working towards so we can practice at home. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone in the area

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot express how thrilled I am with my son's nursery! From the moment we walked through the doors, it was clear that this place is truly special. They treat my son like he’s the only child in the world, providing him with personalised attention and care that is hard to find elsewhere. The staff are incredibly approachable, always ready to listen and engage with both parents and children. They have a remarkable ability to notice even the smallest details, ensuring that nothing gets missed in my son's development and happiness. It’s comforting to know that he is in such a nurturing environment. I am beyond happy that my son attends this nursery and love all the team, Kelly especially is incredible and we can’t thank her enough and everyone else for his journey so far!
