We feel incredibly lucky to have found Nestots Day Nursery for our little one. The staff are nothing short of exceptional. They are kind, attentive, and clearly love what they do. Their dedication goes beyond just looking after the children - they nurture them, celebrate their milestones, and truly get to know each little personality. Every morning, we’re greeted with big smiles, and it’s clear our toddler is excited to be there, spend time with staff and friends! The environment is beautifully set up, clean, colourful, and full of carefully thought-out spaces that encourage curiosity, creativity, and comfort. The cozy reading corners, the imaginative play areas, sensory stations and the children's craft displays, all is designed with the children’s development and joy in mind. It's clear that a lot of love and care has gone into creating such a stimulating and safe space. We’ve seen our toddler grow in confidence, communication, social engagement and skills since starting here — and that’s down to the incredible mix of nurturing care and enriching activities provided every day. We would whole heartedly recommend Nestots to anyone!

Fantastic. Our 1 year old little boy has been going to nestots for 7 months now. Every time we get out the car and start walking towards the nursery entrance he screams with excitement - which we feel is testament to the ethos and atmosphere that the staff create. We are always given an in-depth debrief of his day when we come to pick him up. He is well fed, well entertained and knackered after every day.

A warm and homely place, my child attended from ages 1-4 and was really happy here. The staff are friendly and professional, the spaces and activities are thoughtfully tailored to the children's needs. The team has worked really hard to welcome the children back safely following lockdown. Would recommend without hesitation. Thank you, Nestots!

Can't comment on the childcare as no-one replies to my email enquiries or responds to my answerphone messages. Had heard good things and would have been ideal location, but now looking elsewhere.
