My two children my eldest now 5 and my youngest age 3 have both attended early days nursery, my eldest started when he was 1 and my youngest when he was 2. They go above and beyond and treated my children just like their own. The nursery staff have always being so warm and welcoming, the food is always nutritious and helped my boys to try new things, they both learned new skills and improved so much in their development whilst attending early days, in an enjoyable fun way too! My children have got such a lovely bond with the staff (even my eldest still remembers the staff at early days) they have/are a big part of my children lives and the staff will never be forgotten, I have and always will recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter has loved her time at the nursery so far and I cannot thank the staff enough for welcoming us so warmly and their unwavering patience when little one isn't in the best mood! We see it as a home away from home for her and feel confident leaving her in such capable hands. We would definitely recommend this lovely little nursery to anyone due to their caring and nurturing nature, the warm, homely and clean environment they uphold and range of activities and resources available to the children.

I was so apprehensive and emotional about sorting a nursery out for my baby but I am so happy I chose Early Days. I did lots of visits and research before choosing, so I didn’t take the decision lightly and Early Days easily came out on top. Staff go above and beyond to make sure babies settle in and feel loved and safe. My baby doesn’t go to sleep easily independently but the staff make sure he has the help he needs to drift off. They plan great activities - he’s always done something exciting or been on fun outings and communication between parents and staff is brilliant. My baby is so happy there and therefore we are very happy parents and I can’t thank the staff enough for their support and care.

Early Days is a brilliant nursery, nothing is ever to much trouble. It has a really strong sense of family and you can see and feel how much the staff care for the children. My daughter started when she was 2 and has absolutely flourished with the love and care from all the staff. I can't wait for my youngest to start her adventure here next month! Best nursery with the most amazing staff ❤️
