About this day nursery

Eveline Day Nursery Schools, a family-operated establishment, has been dedicated to childcare since its inception in 1964. What began as a venture to care for their own children has blossomed into a network of seven nurseries and a school, all while retaining a strong family-centric ethos.

My daughters have attended Eveline on Quicks Road since 2015 and we love it. The staff are amazing and are largely the same as when our eldest started, we will be very sad to leave when our youngest moves to school in September. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff for caring for the girls over the years. It isn't easy to leave your baby to go back to work but the team helped make the transition as easy as it could be and both girls have loved going in every day.

This is such a wonderful nursery. My two children have attended since 2018 and I would never consider another nursery. The staff have been consistently lovely, kind, caring, supportive and creative. The same people have looked after my daughter as now look after my younger son. The activities they do every day are wonderful and my children come home excited and happy at how they have spent the day. I’m so grateful to the staff and the wonderful management team.

Fantastic nursery for our 2 kids who attended Quicks Road. I can’t speak more highly of the staff. My kids talk about the staff with such fondness and respect it is lovely to hear. The manager works tirelessly and I believe genuinely cares about each and every child in her nursery, their development, their safety, and everything in between. The way they teach and structure the education meant my daughter had a very easy transition to school. Overall it has been a brilliant nursery for us and couldn’t have asked for more.

This is an amazing nursery with the most wonderful staff! I couldn't recommend this nursery more. My daughter was very hard to settle but the staff in every unit were amazingly accommodating and made it all much easier. My son loves it at Eveline and has made lots of lovely friends! The management team are so caring and would go above and beyond and always looking to help.

Both our children have attended since 12 months old and have been incredibly happy at this nursery. The staff are loving and nurturing, and there is a varied and interesting schedule of activities and topics. They gradually introduce learning through play as well as giving the children support to develop confidence and mindfulness. Communication is good, and the management team are very organised. We very much feel part of their family.
