We’ve only been at the nursery for a month after our original nursery closed down unexpectedly. My baby boy settled so quickly and has formed a great attachment with the staff in the baby room. The communication from the nursery is brilliant with regular updates and photos on the app. The nursery is beautiful and the new extended garden space is lovely. Couldn’t want anything more from a nursery and it’s so much better than the nursery we went to with our older son. Would definitely recommend Ecobabe!

My son Cassius has truly thrived since joining Eco Babe Nursery. From the very beginning, he has been nurtured, guided, and supported in such a caring and positive environment. The staff go above and beyond to ensure every child feels valued, and it shows in how happy and confident Cassius has become. A special thank you to Remi, Fatima, and Corinna, whose kindness, patience, and dedication have made such a lasting impact on his development. Their warmth and professionalism give us so much peace of mind every day. We are so grateful for everything the team has done and would highly recommend Eco Babe Nursery to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and truly wonderful place for their child.

The staff are nurturing and attentive. My child has settled in quickly and gets very excited when attending the nursery in the mornings. It’s clear to see how much thought and care goes into the daily activities and learning experiences. The team keeps me informed and reassured about my child's well-being. It’s also very helpful having the app to keep track of my child’s progress and daily activities. This nursery is really helping my child’s confidence and creativity grow!

Our son has been attending Eco Babe since he was 11 months old and we couldn’t be happier with our experience with the Eco Babe team! The nursery is beautifully designed with excellent facilities, the food is amazing, and most importantly, the care is outstanding. Our son loves attending and has a lovely strong bond with his keyworker Georgia, and is progressing well both emotionally and developmentally. Eco Babe provides a personal and nurturing environment for families and I have full confidence in their services.

My husband and I can not praise Eco Babe enough. Our daughter has attended since class 1; she's now in class 3 and she absolutely loves the time she spends there. The staff go above and beyond to make both children and parents feel welcome. The range of activities provided, and time spent indoors and outdoors is brilliant. We have noticed a huge development in our daughters speech and language skills which we know has come from the engagement she receives at nursery. Another thing we love are the added extras that are organised for parents to attend with their children (Easter egg hunts, mothers and fathers Day events; it's so lovely being able to spend time in the setting your child attends! We received regular updates about our daughter and can communicate easily via the app they use. Eco Babe is a wonderful, child-centered nursery; highly recommended!
