We have had the best experience with Flourish Nursery. From day one, the staff have been so caring, supportive, and welcoming, and it has made such a difference for a nervous first time mother. Our daughter absolutely loves going each day, which gives us complete peace of mind as parents. The environment is nurturing, fun, and engaging, and it’s clear how much effort goes into the different themes and activities. A special shout out to Fiji and Libby, who have been absolutely amazing and have had such a positive impact on our daughter. We couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough!

I couldn’t be happier with the nursery. My son (18 mo) struggled to settle in as he had never spent much time away from me and now I barely get a goodbye! A very caring, attentive team who made a big life change for my little boy and myself as easy and comforting as possible!

My daughter has been at Flourish for 9 months now and has loved every day. The team are very warm and welcoming and love to share little insights into how your child has been that day, and celebrating all the wins. Recently in the warmer months they have been taking the children out to the playground, garden centre and green spaces around Esher which is adorable to see. Each month the team a Flourish focus on a different theme and incorporate these into their daily actives so no day looks the same. Thank you Flourish for making the transition to nursery as positive as it can be. Knowing my baby is happy during the day and getting updates on the app makes it all the more easier.
