My daughter came to this nursery unable to communicate with anyone, I spoke to the manger (Laura) about this as it was a concern of mine , and now she’s leaving speaking full sentences and you can now understand what she is say, the staff have been so patient with her and helped her thrive, she is always happy going into the setting and can’t wait to return, Laura has also always accommodated my work pattern. I physically can’t thank every single staff member that has worked with Brodie enough. Thank you 😊

Incredible provision. Would 100% recommend. We couldn't be happier with the childcare for our son (who didn't settle at a previous childcare setting). All staff are amazing, caring and really provide a home from home experience. The children look like they have so much fun and are allowed to get dirty - as it should be! The app used by Rosedene is a great resource through the day too. Reassuring for the early days, to know that they're eating, sleeping and smiling. Food seems top notch too - healthy options and I find it alleviates the effort of making child friendly meals all/every day!

I was so apprehensive about signing my daughter up to Nursery, but it had to happen so I could go back to work! We went to see another nursery first, but didn’t really feel like we could see our daughter fitting in there, then we visited Rosedene in Egglescliffe and Jodie the manager showed us around, she was so friendly, reassuring and clearly dedicated to all of the children. My daughter quickly settled and we changed to full days as she was enjoying it so much and it was like a new lease of life for me and my husband, it also helps that she can access the outdoors so much whilst there as she loves to be outside. She comes home speaking more and more words after every visit and sleeps really good after a full day of learning. She talks constantly about her nursery workers, particularly Amy! She has also become even more fiercely independent, putting her own coat and shoes on, telling me she needs to wear her hat when going outside. The pictures I receive throughout the day on the App really help and shows how happy and engaged she is there and has made lots of friends!. She strolls in and doesn’t look back, we recommend rosedene to everyone looking for a nursery for their children.

Rosedene are truly excellent. I’ve used them for about ten years now and the staff are always well trained and have a wonderful, family ethos about them. They feel like parents to my kids when I’m not around. The variety of activities they offer is brilliant, it’s obvious they put a lot of thought into planning each day. The way the setting is decorated is the icing on the cake - very welcoming, fun, and exciting. I can’t recommend them highly enough. The fact that some of the same staff are still there after ten years of looking after my kids speaks volumes, too.

All my children have been to Rosedene and had a wonderful experience!! All the caters are supportive, encouraging and understanding under any circumstances and my daughter who currently goes always looks forward to spending time there. There’s a great mixture of activities both indoors and out and the quality and variety of food they get is excellent. They are always so flexible even with last minute requests. I’d highly recommend Rosedene Egglescliffe to everyone!!!
