Our daughter loves her time at Nina's Nursery. A particular draw for us when choosing a nursery was the fabulous outdoor space and it's really pleasing to know that kids are encouraged to get outdoors as often as possible. Our three year old is in nursery full time so finding a nursery that clearly teaches the values we have as parents was really important. I'm very pleased to see that children are encouraged to be independent, kind and creative in their play and it really shows in our daughter. Our daughter loves to talk to us about the various trips out that she has with the nursery and we're very excited to hear that yoga has now been introduced.

Both my children attend Ninas nursery and we couldn’t be happier with the care they receive. Ninas is a fantastic, nurturing, caring environment with a real focus on outdoor activities that both my children love. The food they receive is varied and really healthy, they come home and talk about how much they’ve loved the meals. They spend a large amount of time in the garden and forest and complete a wide variety of activities here. The staff are also so caring towards the children and always provide us with a comprehensive update on how the day has gone. When my daughter moved up classes and struggled with the transition, they were so accommodating and made changes to help her settle. They are always on hand for cuddles when she’s abit emotional and she’s built up such a good relationship with them. Couldn’t recommend Nina’s highly enough.

Nina’s is a wonderful nursery and all the staff are lovely, the kids always seem really happy when I drop off/pick up my little girl. The outdoor space is amazing and I love the forest nursery setting. We’ll be very sad when my daughter leaves this summer to start school!

My little boy absolutely loves being here. He has trouble settling in and dealing with new environments but that's never been an issue here. He gets excited when he knows we are going to nursery and his confidence around other adults and children has improved massively! The staff always go out of their way to help him and are always informative, friendly and very professional. Can't wait for my other little boy to start next year and he can't either!
