We couldn’t be happier with our experience so far. From the very beginning, the team have been incredibly attentive, warm and genuinely invested in the children in their care. Starting nursery is a big milestone, and the staff made the transition feel smooth and reassuring — not just for our child, but for us as parents too. They take the time to really understand each child as an individual, and it’s clear how much thought and care goes into making them feel safe, settled and happy. There’s such a lovely, positive atmosphere, and it’s obvious that the children are nurtured and supported throughout the day. It gives us huge peace of mind knowing our child is somewhere they are truly cared for. We’re so grateful to be part of such a welcoming and supportive environment.

My son has been at this nursery since he was 6 months old. The staff are all lovely and you can really see how much they care. My son is also so exited to go to nursery and always has such a good time. I can’t thank this nursery enough for the love and care they show towards him and how much they have supported him as he has continued to grow and develop during this time.

We love all the team at Field View and could recommend highly enough. They love and care for our son as if their own, are so friendly with us and are always so supportive and quick to act if we've ever had any concerns. Our son is very happy here and has been incredibly nurtured over his time in the staff's care. Nothing is too much to ask and the staff actively like to hear about our son's life outside of nursery - we always feel so secure and comforted in leaving our son in the care of the Field View team.

Brilliant nursery, the staff are always friendly and my son absolutely loves going. I’ve had occasions where I’ve had to put him in randomly on his ‘non nursery days’ and they’ve been able to accommodate this and he’s been able to attend nursery. This has been excellent as a full time working mother it can be difficult if other childcare arrangements alter. The outdoor play area is brilliant and my son spends most of his time out there. Thank you!!

As a manager of another nursery, I can say that field view gives children the care and education they deserve. The management team are very attentive and I always love the opportunity to go and visit.
