I can’t recommend Prospects House highly enough. We moved to the area around 5 months ago and needed a setting for our two children, aged 4 & 2. Our eldest has just graduated preschool and is about to start school. They were both in nursery prior to our move but Prospects house made the transition so easy. The children settled so well and both formed strong attachments to their key workers. I’ve been blown away by the breadth of activities on offer. The children are taken on trips out of nursery which is fantastic in aiding their development. The nursery brings in external teachers which is another way to enrich their development, my daughter has particularly loved the twice weekly French lessons- I think she knows more than me now! My son has required some help with a skin condition and the team have been great at keeping up with his creams. The staff are so dedicated and genuinely care about the children, it’s evident from the daily reports and the commitment to providing updates via the app. The office support team have been equally fantastic in helping with queries and were incredibly flexible in the onboarding process when our dates were up in the air with moving! I genuinely couldn’t be happier with our experience at Prospects House and would thoroughly reccomend to anyone!

We have been so lucky to discover this lovely nursery! All been fantastic and caring ,management team Ann and Rachal , and the fabulous stuff in all stages. Many thanks to Georgia Endersby in Wiggling Puffins who helped my son to settle and love his early days in the nursery. And to Lottie Warren in the pre-school who was amazing and managed to help Harry to grow and shine, she is with no doubt a definite credit to the nursery . Would definitely and for sure recommend Prospect house in Horsforth !

We fully recommend this nursery to anyone who wants their children to be happy and confident. They have been caring for our eldest son for four years already. Our younger son went to a different nursery near his brother's school in LS17 because it was more convenient for us to drive them. However, our younger son was not happy at the other nursery, once we moved him to Prospect House Day Nursery, it was clear from day 1 that their professionalism, experience, and beautiful souls can make all the difference and I've never seen my son this happy. A very big thank you to all the staff and management, I wish them all the joy, happiness and a very happy new year.
