She has absolutely thrived thanks to the incredible work of the caregivers. Her speech, confidence, and coordination has improved and she clearly loved being there. At home she talks of her caregivers frequently. I cannot speak of these caregivers highly enough - they go above and beyond every single day. They work extremely long hours and seem to do a lot more than just take care of the children as they also clean the room and do paperwork, yet they still bring the positive energy and love to the children. Our daughter also had a consistent and small care team so she was able to bond very well. We thought Ellie, Emma, Mary, Carmen, and Kiran were particularly outstanding but everyone there has been great. It's a wonderful place.\n\nI was nervous about leaving my baby at nursery for the first time, nervous about the mixed reviews on here, and nervous about the Ofsted reports, but overall I am happy with the nursery. The first Ofsted report mentioned hygiene, but I have seen other nurseries and this one is always very clean. I have no concerns at all there.\n\nThe main issue at this nursery is the unusually frequently changing management, which in turn can affect communication with parents and the atmosphere. We got our place through the Uni of Cambridge, like most families there, and I cannot believe the university has not done more to address this problem. It creates even more burden on the caregiver staff, which is really unfair on them. Be wary of people \"moving to a nursery closer to home\" - while this can of course be a legitimate excuse, I suspect it's also abused as a convenient statement to appease parents.\n\nAs a working parent, the nursery hours are convenient and the nursery is structured around families' needs, so you can drop them off and pick them up when suits you. Hot nutritious meals are provided, which has made life a LOT easier. Our daughter has very severe allergies that they were able to cater for (chef Mark has been great). I hope new management continues to take allergies extremely seriously.\n\nThe rooms are airy, spacious and full of natural light and wood materials. The outdoor area is engaging for the children and they spend a lot of time outdoors, which is important to us. I highly recommend this nursery and thank everyone there for working so hard to create a positive place for my child to thrive, learn and feel loved.", "datePublished": "2023-11-02T11:01:23.712484Z", "inLanguage": "en" }, { "@type": "Review", "reviewRating": { "@type": "Rating", "ratingValue": 5, "bestRating": 5, "worstRating": 1 }, "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Simon Child" }, "reviewBody": "This review is based on my background as a developmental psychologist and my observations as a father for twin boys who attend the nursery.
