The staff provide purposeful opportunities for children's physical development outdoors through lots of challenging outdoor play. They encourage children to develop new skills, such as climbing up slides or riding tricycles and balance bikes.
Over the course of just over 7 years, the staff at Squirrels Wood took care firstly of our eldest Edward, and then our youngest Jonah. We can't speak highly enough of the positive journey the nursery took our sons on during that time. They gave them a fantastic foundation in terms of their early learning and helping to develop their characters. They engaged in a wide variety of activities each and every week, helping them to develop their skills. We always felt confident that our sons' safety and wellbeing was taken care of. The staff always engaged with us in a proactive way. We would definitely recommend the nursery to any parent looking to place their child there.
Read on GoogleI honestly can’t rave about this nursery enough! Both my Son’s attended this nursery over the past 5.5 years, and between them attended every room in the nursery. They both really enjoyed their time there and both came on leaps and bounds with their confidence and learning. When my eldest left preschool to attend reception, they were impressed with how well he already knew some phonics, and could write his name and that was through the pre school at Squirrels Wood. All the staff are so friendly and kind and caring and get to know the children so well. I always felt I was leaving them in good hands. I have absolutely nothing negative to say or have any complaints. Such a great nursery with brilliant staff who take great care of the kids and always engage them in fab activities!
Read on GoogleI have had the pleasure of sending both of my sons to this nursery, years apart, and I can genuinely say that their care is nothing short of exceptional. Every single staff member is not only skilled and professional but also incredibly kind, caring, and welcoming. My boys were always happy during their time at the nursery, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were receiving the highest level of care. Choosing someone to look after my precious boys was one of the most significant decisions I had to make, especially with my youngest son, who requires SEN support. I can confidently say that the care provided here is unparalleled, and their SEN team is simply outstanding. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Children 4 Most, with special mention to Ellie and Coral. This nursery truly stands head and shoulders above the rest, and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.
Read on GoogleChildren 4 Most have provided the level of care that only a parent can dream of, they have met all of our daughter’s needs at every stage and because of this she has thrived. Not only is the care exceptional the education that she received was phenomenal
Read on GoogleChildren4Most at Squirrels Wood are an absolutely fantastic nursery. My son has attended there for two years now and the support we’ve had has been fantastic. He’s had a speech delay and they’ve supported him, and us as a family, with that. He comes home from nursery happy every day, and looks forward to the days that they are there. I see that he has learnt new things all of the time, and it’s a pleasure to see. I like that they follow the early years curriculum, knowing my son will be school-ready next year without the need to attend a school nursery. The nursery is currently under new leadership, and I have nothing but praise for the new management team in place. The nursery has always been fantastic, but you can see the passion and expertise they both have for the children and the nursery and it makes it all the more impressive. I’d highly recommend Squirrels Wood to any parent considering this setting for their child.
