The best nursery in West Bridgford! My daughter has been attending for the last 6 months and absolutely adores it, the staff are wonderful, so engaging and caring with the children and my daughter loves them. They seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs which makes such a difference. After viewing several nurseries this one is head and shoulders above the others. It’s a home from home environment, lots of attention to detail other nurseries missed, such a fish tanks in every room to offer sensory stimulation, extra curricular activities and prioritisation of outdoor play. They take an active interest in the development of each child and tailor care accordingly. Anyone living in Bridgford, this is the nursery for you and your little one. Shoutout to Hayley, Poppy and Kirsty who have made the experience so far so brilliant.

My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting here in Dec 2023 aged 10.5 months. She came home with new words and sounds after literally just 2 days! She never gets upset at drop off. In fact she doesn’t even wave me goodbye anymore, just jumps straight in to playing with the staff and children. She seems really comfortable with the team and has even made lots of toddler friends. I have complete confidence that she is looked after and enjoying herself while she’s here

Absolutely amazing team / nursery. My sons been going here for a year and half, I couldn’t recommend them more than enough! My son has had the best time at this nursery, they’ve helped him grow and develop into the boy he has now become. They’re supported him, cared for him, encouraged him and gave him the love he needed during his time at nursery. I can’t thank them more than enough. They’ve been a massive part of us for over a year. Thank you so much!

Having had a very bad experience at another nursery, as you can imagine, my child was reluctant to leave my side. My child also has mild separation anxiety. Being a lockdown child, she doesn't like to be left with strangers. She was only 3 when we found this nursery, and being anxious myself, knowing I had to leave my child again in the hands of strangers, I needed to find the perfect setting for my daughter. We looked at so many nurseries, but none were to my satisfaction. I honestly nearly gave up on the idea and was thinking about extending my work relief until she was in full-time education. Radcliffe Road Day Nursery was a breath of fresh air. I could instantly see how happy and cheerful the children were. The nursery was clean and smelled fresh. The staff were happy, helpful, and friendly. I analyzed body language and paid close attention to every detail. The way the staff engaged with my daughter and the other children in the setting impressed me right from the start. The outdoor area was fabulous - sand pit, water play, mud pit. They changed the children into puddle suits andwellie boots before going out to play. They got out of dirty clothes and washed hands upon their return. Genuinely, the children and staff all seemed to be having such great fun together. Professional, organized, clean, happy - I couldn't ask for a better nursery. It was slightly more expensive than the other places I visited, but honestly worth every penny. I would 100% recommend these ladies and gentlemen. I was very happy with every aspect. My daughter loves to go to the nursery, she loves her key workers, and has definitely excelled in her short time. Thank you to all the staff and keep doing what you are doing. Fabulous, truly fabulous. Thank you - 5-star!! I'd give 10 stars if I could.

Overall this is a lovely nursery. It is clean and well maintained. Staff are very friendly. There is a fantastic healthy menu. Plenty of activities to keep my daughter entertained. She always appears happy at nursery. I enjoy the tapestry app as it allows for good communication, regular observations and photos. Highly recommend this nursery.
