It's been 5 months since our baby started in the nursery. Although it feels like it's been a long time, it also flew by. He grew up and learned a lot. We have nothing but thank you words for all the staff of the beautiful babies room. They were always very loving and took very good care of him, leaving us very calm. Special mention for the leader of the room and key person of our son, Rosie. From the first day she inspired us confidence and we could see how loving she is and how much she loves our baby. Always providing security, fluid communication and very high standards of commitment. Thanks to Rosie and all the staff. We are very happy with Building Blocks and we hope that in the new room and under the care of the lovely Chloe our son continues with his development and above all enjoying and having fun. Thank you!
Read on GoogleThe most wonderful nursery. Our son has recently started in the Beautiful Babies room. We have nothing but positive things to say about Building Blocks. It is a brilliantly run nursery and the children are at the centre of everything they do. All staff genuinely care. The settling in process is brilliant and so much more comprehensive / thoughtful compared to other nurseries in the area - the home visit was such an amazing feature. Within a few weeks our son goes into nursery happily and absolutely loves it! The activities are varied - the children are regularly taken to the park and there are weekly Monkey Music, Baby Ballet etc sessions. Erin and her team in Beautiful Babies room go above and beyond - they are so caring and work hard to really get to know the children. It feels like such personalised care and we trust them completely. We feel very lucky to have gotten our son a place at BB and would recommend this nursery to all. Thank you to the team!
Read on GoogleBuilding blocks is a very well run nursery. The staff are very nurturing and I have really seen my son grow and develop in the environment. They also go over and above regarding activities and trips to keep the children engaged which is a real bonus. We are very grateful to all the staff for all they do 😊
Read on GoogleMy child has attended nursery here and holiday clubs. She has a great time and the holiday clubs have always a schedule with excursions that kids enjoy. The fact that all meals are included and the broad times make it great solution for working parents.
Read on GoogleThis is such a lovely nursery and our twins really love their time there. They take real care with the settling-in process and the staff could not be more kind and caring, so the babies have been happy there from the outset. The environment is perfect for little ones, with wooden baby furniture and toys instead of loud electronic plastic toys, and soft beds in low light for nap time. Other things that are particularly great are the food (a shout out to Dottie the incredible cook!), the secure camera that you can log into to see how they’re getting on, the extra curricular activities (heartbeeps, excursions, etc.) and the focus weeks where our children’s development is assessed. They take a sensible approach to illness (not demanding you pick a child up at the first sign of a temperature but instead giving them Calpol - with your permission - and seeing how they are a little while after), but are also very experienced and immediately flag any health concerns or observations. Above all though, it comes down to the people that work here and for us they are the ones that make this a rare, wonderful nursery.
