My daughter has been attending New Beginnings for just over 2 years and my second child will attend soon too. Right from the start we have been made to feel very welcome by everyone and the staff have always been accommodating to us and the children. The biggest kudos I can give is for the development in my child. She has grown so much as a person. Her skills develop daily and she comes home with new topics of conversation. The staff offer regular updates online and in person on how she’s progressing which is great. On parking, it can be a challenge to get a spot RIGHT outside the nursery if several parents collect their child at the same time, this is understandable. I have never had an issue with parking since there are plenty of spaces on the road and don’t mind walking a few minutes.

This is a great, unique nursery with a lovely homely feel about it. Staff are wonderful with the children and welcome them and parents/extended family with open arms. The activities for the children are planned with their interests in mind and are interesting, imaginative and innovative.Visitors to the nursery are always asked to sign in, most are parents looking for a place for their little ones. The nursery is undergoing a refurbishment but this takes time over weekends etc so as to cause as little disruption as possible to the children. The nursery takes a maximum amount of children and has not yet reached its capacity I full recommend this nursery, it is wonderful

My daughter went to New Beginnings Nursery when she was 1 year old and was with them till she was 2.5 year old. New Beginnings is extremely professional and caring nursey. During her time I saw my daughter growth physical, mentally and emotionally. I have the highest regard for the care they provide, staff is extremely honest and genuinely interested in the well-fare of the kids. It is a safe and happy place for kids. I give new beginnings my highest recommendation.

I can't praise this nursery enough, such a warm and caring atmosphere, I couldn't ask for more. Would highly recommend to anyone who is nervous about sending their child to nursery as I was, they dealt with my daughters separation anxiety brilliantly. Added extras like regularly taking the children to the local day centre; great!

Wonderful home from home feel. A fabulous family run day nursery my little girl was so happy here. Was very sad when the time came for her to move on to school. Staff are so friendly and nothing was ever to much trouble. I would highly recommend.
