Our nearly-3-year-old son has attended Mayfield Nursery since he was 11 months old. It is family-run with lovely staff, of a good size with a good kitchen, nice outdoor space and plenty of daily activities. In particular, the staff were happy to support our use of reusable nappies throughout; we simply supplied and brought home the nappy-bag each day - this is a lot more accommodating than other local offerings. Couldn't be happier :)

Absolutely wonderful family-run nursery. Fantastic big rooms and huge outdoor areas. Much lower turnover of staff that other local nurseries (which I know first hand as we went to another nursery for a year). Highly recommend!

This nursery is fantastic! The staff are 100% committed to my child and they do everything in their power to ensure she and all the other children are happy. She has been in the nursery since she was 1 and she has been so happy there, it is like a second home. I am so pleased we choose Mayfield for our daughter - don’t let any of the building work put you off, It is a hidden gem ☺️
