Liaison with other professionals, including staff in local schools, is exceptional. Parents of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities remark on the nursery as being 'life changing', because of the support provided to themselves and to their children.

The staff at Rosedene Easterside are wonderful! Among all the natural qualities of nursery staff, they also demonstrate compassion, patience and a genuine desire for helping your children grow and develop. Our daughter has only recently joined this nursery at 12months old and already we can see huge progress in her development. They have persevered with her through wobbly days and communication is excellent. We love seeing what our daughter is up to on her days there and the APP they use allows us to be informed of her full day. An excellent setting, with outstanding staff/management and happy children - thank you 🥰👏🏼

Such a gorgeous nursery. The nurturing staff are amazing and go above and beyond to create a wide range of learning experiences, and staff are all very knowledgable in their field. Both of my girls loved/love going to the nursery and have developed great relationships with both the staff and children. Communication between staff and parents is fantastic too with lots of daily updates/photos of what your child is doing during their time at the nursery 🥰❤️

Rosedene Easterside has been amazing for both my kids and be returning back to work! My one year old and four year old always come home really happy and full of stories to tell about their day. The staff at Rosedene are also amazing! They are so understanding and patient if any of my children are having an off day and go above and beyond to accommodate anything we might need! Since my children have joined Rosedene Easterside i no longer worry about them whilst i am working and it has made me returning to work after maternity leave one million times easier!

Amazing nursery, my daughter did not settle in her last nursery. Rosedene have overcome the challenge of being at nursery and by day 2 she ran through the door. Definitely recommend she is always so excited to come! The girls are also lovely x

As a family we couldn’t recommend rosedenes easterside enough. Both our 10 year old and 4 year old have attended from being babies. They have built great relationships with both staff and peers. We have received advice support and praise from all the staff. We have always been updated with the girls progress via the app and on pick up. Dianna (4) has built extra special bonds and we choose to keep her in rosedenes up untill reception rather than school nursery as her support network in the setting is like a home away from home. We needed some extra support on the sen pathway and the girls were all amazing in getting us this and putting steps and pathways in place for us all as a family. The support has been second to none and I would always recommend!
