Highly recommend this nursery! The team are lovely and genuinely care for every child. My daughter has been attending since she was a baby and has made some special friendships. There has been some staffing issues over the summer but the new nursery manager is great and lots of new developments happening with a good amount of communication being shared. It is a convenient location for my family, although asking for drop off and pick up can be tricky. They have a lovely garden to access, the food always sounds yummy and the new toys are great to see!

My child started baby room in June. She has settled in so well in such a short space of time. She has been so happy on drop-offs with no tears and a little smile. She has made such lovely bonds with the staff. You can see that she feels safe and contented in their care. She has come so far in her development and has grown in confidence, engaging in wonderful activities and building lovely friendships with her new friends. Thank you so much to all the staff. You are all fantastic!

I cannot speak highly enough of the amazing care and support my son has received from the team at Hawksbury Nursery From the very beginning, the staff have gone above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where he feels safe, valued, and happy every single day. One of the most remarkable areas of progress has been in his speech and language development. When he first started, he was quite behind in his communication skills, and I was understandably concerned. However, thanks to the nursery's dedicated team and their targeted support-including tailored activities, his progress has been nothing short of incredible. His confidence has grown so much, and he's now able to express himself clearly and interact more comfortably with his friends and adults. What truly stands out is how much my son enjoys going to nursery , his excitement is a clear reflection of the love and care he receives there.

We’re very happy with our daughter’s nursery experience. The staff in the baby room are fantastic, warm and dedicated, and our daughter always looks forward to going in. While communication could occasionally be improved and the outdoor space is a bit limited, the overall level of care and variety of activities more than make up for it.

My son started hawksberry road nursery nearly a year ago with a massive speech delay, the old nursery he went to didn't engage or persevere with him and would single him out of group activities. Since joining this nursery his speech has become so clear after the staff have persisted with his 1 2 1 hours he receives. Not only has his speech come on leaps and bounds so has his confidence, that is so clear as he is always excited to go into the nursery and talks about his peers and teachers all the time at home. I honestly couldn't thank the manager and deputy enough for this incredible change and forever grateful. I would not hesitate recommending this setting for your child.
