Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Leaders and staff are ambitious for every child to reach their full potential. The settling-process and ongoing conversations with parents help to understand each child's individual needs.
There is a strong emphasis on outdoor learning in this nursery. Children thrive on exploring the environment, understanding nature, and taking risks. Children have lots of daily outdoor experiences, where they develop good gross motor skills.
Children are taught to be effective communicators. This includes children who speak English as an additional language. Staff speak to parents and establish key words in their home language so that children have a sense of belonging in the nursery.
I am writing this review in the hope that it will help in deciding whether to send your child to Nest. I selected Nest after viewing about ten nurseries for my son which speaks volumes about the quality of everything offered at this nursery. Upon reflection, I could not have chosen a better setting in all honesty. First and foremost, the staff at Nest are incredibly nurturing and genuinely care about the children. It’s one of the most important factors when deciding where to send your child and the Nest staff go above and beyond. They are kind, professional and always communicate which is exactly what any parent whose child is away from home would want. The staff put a great deal of thought and effort into activities for the children. In addition to learning opportunities within the nursery, a lot of planning goes into arranging external trips to introduce children to new ideas to inspire them. I couldn’t ask for a better setting for a nursery, nicely tucked away from busy roads with excellent outdoor spaces. At such a tender age, no child should be stuck in a room staring at four walls. The children have a large green space/garden and get a lot of time outdoors which is exactly how it should be. I am so grateful to have found such a nurturing and inspiring setting for my son. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any family looking for a caring environment where children can truly thrive.

Our daughter has been attending Nest since she was a year old and she loves it. She runs into the nursery smiling, ready to give the staff a hug. It is a nurturing environment with cozy corners and a homely feel. There is a beautiful garden available for the children to use, large and private, surrounded by trees. The staff are kind, supportive and professional. They communicate well with the parents and have the children’s best interests at heart. Staff are open to suggestions for improvements from parents and happy to discuss our child’s needs. There are often external trips and special activities organised to enrich the children’s experiences. Parents are invited to attend many events and special days at the nursery, there is a strong community feel.

We cannot recommend Nest Nursery highly enough. The environment is wonderful, boasting a fantastic outdoor area that the children clearly love exploring. What truly sets them apart, however, is the staff. They are consistently helpful, friendly, and go above and beyond to keep the kids engaged with a huge variety of activities both onsite and on local trips regularly. Most importantly, Nest Nursery has been an invaluable partner in our child’s development. They were proactive in helping us identify our child’s special needs and guided us through the entire process with such care and expertise. They don’t just focus on the 'now'; they are deeply committed to preparing children for their future steps. We feel so supported and lucky to be part of this community.

My daughter has been going to Nest nursery since her one year and she loves it! The green outdoor space is amazing and they conduct lots of activities there for children. For me it was very important that children can spend a lot of time outside on the fresh air. My daughter has made lots of friends there and runs into the nursery happily every day :) Forgot to mention that the staff is amazing and very playful with children.
