We are just as impressed by this nursery as we were 18 months ago when our daughter started here. There is always a big cheery welcoming smile from whoever answers the door in the morning. My 3 yr old absolutely loves it here and it’s just a really nice place to be! We had some awful experiences of nurseries when our eldest was younger and I was dreading finding a nursery this time round. It’s very clear that the staff at Turville Nursery genuinely care about and understand each of the children. They communicate really well at the end of each session to parents about what their little one has been up to, what they’ve eaten, who they’ve played with etc. The facilities are always being added to and kept really clean. They spend valuable time outside enjoying forest school whenever the weather permits. The grounds are very safe and enclosed and in a very beautiful setting. I have no hesitation whatsoever about recommending this nursery. It is a very special place and the staff are wonderful.

Turville Forest School Nursery is a lovely village nursery in a beautiful position. My son has been going three days a week since May 2022 (he started aged 1). We live in the village so are lucky enough to be able to walk to the gates. He's excited to put his coat and wellies on in the morning to walk up the lane and always comes home with a smile on his face. Once I've worked out how I can get him to eat and nap as well at home as he does at nursery I'll be delighted!

My son has attended the nursery since Jan 21, he was 5 months old. At the time his older sister was also at the nursery. We are very happy with Turville Forest School Nursery, the staff are very helpful and caring. My son loves all the staff (as my daughter did when she attended) and I feel this is the most important sign of a good nursery and the love they have when looking after the children. Turville Nursery have great outdoor facilities, which is the first thing that attracted us to the nursery being "outdoorsy people" and the Nursery is in the most picturesque setting. They do lots of activities with the Children from Forest School, P.E and other activities. The Nursery also kindly put on events during the year where parents are invited to come and join in with the children to celebrate special days like "Mothers or Fathers Day." The Nursery go out of the way todo these for the parents to help involve them as much as they can with their child at Nursery. Definitely Recommended
