AVOID AT ALL COSTS. The administration at this nursery is a free for all. They take weekly food payments, which are not based on the number of days your child actually attends. They have no regard for contract law, using one of my child’s deposits to pay my other child’s nursery bills, despite the fact that they each have their own contract. Since Kindred took over, the staff turnover has been incredible, most of the experienced team members leaving for pastures new. Such a shame as the location and venue is great. The few original nursery teachers are great, shame there aren’t many left.

I would like to thank all the staffs at the nursery. They are incredible. My daughter had such a great, fun loving experience at the nursery. She was taken care by all of them so delicately. Massive thanks to the nursery.

This is a brilliant nursery, and very much recommended! I checked quite a few before making up my mind, and can tell what are the advantages of this nursery for me as a mom: - it's purpose built, which means spacious rooms with lots of natural light and air, as well as fully enclosed safe garden; - all premises are clean and tidy; - hot freshly cooked meals; - daily record and photo updates of what my child has been doing in the nursery, through the special app. - lots of opportunities to develop through art and play activities, messy play, sensory room etc. My 2 yo son attends St Nicholas from September, and is settled very well by now. I can see that he is very confident and happy in the nursery. All the staff members are kind and attentive to the children, as well as the parents. I hope my review will be usefull for patents looking for the best place for their child.

Our daughter has been going here for over a year now. She has thrived and is incredibly happy to attend every day. The additional activities every week are great. The staff genuinely care and are very good with the children. They are very responsive to parents and accommodating to a child’s needs. **This review was provided before being taken over by Kindred. My LG left before it changed hands.

We were recommended St Nicholas Day Nursery by a number of people on our estate. When contacting multiple nurseries, St Nicholas’ were the only ones to respond. We were invited for a tour and felt at home straight away. The outdoor provision has been revamped throughout the year and our son always talks about how amazing it is and how his ‘teachers’ are his bestfriends. The staff are supportive, loving and caring. I would highly recommend St Nicholas’ to anyone within the local area! Thank you for the time you have spent with our son, you’ve definitely made him primary school ready.
