My daughter has been attending Davyhulme Road Nursery since the age of 9 months. She is now 16 months and I couldn’t be happier with her progression. My daughter absolutely loves her nursery days. The staff are absolutely amazing. My daughter gets so excited to see them! Zoe and Hollie are amazing managers who take the time to know each child despite not being their primary leaders. We are greeted every morning by them with a smile and they make my daughter feel at ease when she’s taken off me for the day. Thalia, Laura and Claire are outstanding nursery practitioners. My daughter has formed a special bond with them. Special shout out to Thalia who I truly believe was born to be in this job! She takes SO much time to let you know the ins and outs of your child’s day. She gets to know them so well, knows what each cry means and what their needs may be. My daughter can be very sassy but she knows exactly how to manage her moods! You never know when this girl has has a bad day. She loves all the babies like they are her own. Laura and Claire equally as great. They are very very good at their job and deserve the world to know! You are given details of food intake, how much they’ve slept and how many wet nappies, they never miss any key information off. After visiting many nurseries I just had the right feel with this one and I’m so glad I chose it. I can’t wait to see how much further my baby develops here. Thank you so much guys Xx

When deciding where to send our son we visited this nursery and loved it so much we immediately booked him a place. Hollie the owner is lovely, she’s welcoming and always has time for the parents. All the staff members are friendly and it’s clear everyone who works there really cares about the children and making the environment happy and safe. Our son loves going to this nursery, and we have already booked a place for our daughter, who I’m confident will love it too!

So far this has been the perfect nursery for our daughter. The staff have always been amazing with her and helped her grow. Whenever we have had questions about development Hollie, Zoe and the rest of the team have always found time to talk to us so we know our daughter is progressing well.

My daughter attends, and she loves it! Strolls in and doesn’t want to leave, always runs back to the staff for extra good bye hugs! I’m quite a demanding parent and like to know the ins and out of the day and they give me amazing feedback at every session and due to a recent family injury had to put my daughter in extra days. No request is too much! Holly the owner has outdone herself! And she has an amazing team behind her! 100% recommend!!!

My daughter attends this nursery and she absolutely loves it. Staff are friendly, place is in pristine condition, always greeted with a smile at the door and you're given a very comprehensive handover about the day your kid has had. Can't praise the place enough and everyone from the newest staff to the owner make you feel welcomed and you just know by the way they talk and by the way they give you the handover that your kid is well looked after. Would deffo recommend to anyone.
