Both of my girls have attended this nursery with my youngest still going 3 days a week. The nursery itself is lovely and not a huge nursery so I found this less overwhelming for my children when starting and they both settled in quickly. I've had so much support from Sam (the manager) and all other staff through my eldests journey up until she started school this year. They have supported me endlessly with achieving milestones, toilet training and the activities they get the children involved in throughout the year is fantastic! Overall I'm so pleased I chose Stork nursery when the hunt started all those years ago and I thoroughly recommend for any parents starting that transition :)

My child adores the friendly staff at the nursery. They give her a variety of good food & ensure she is involved in many areas of play to develop her skills. My child is obsessed with the garden, definitely her favourite thing to do whilst at the nursery. The staff are friendly and professional ensuring they give good quality of care.

my son started with stork just after turning two years old, as a first time mother I didn’t have a clue in regards to childcare or how anything worked but also I had a lot of anxiety over being apart from him after Covid, the stork team put my mind at ease with reassurance and gave both myself and my son the confidence to overcome this barrier. In the last year he has come along leaps and bounds with his speech particularly and his overall development. At now three years old the ladies at stork continue to support and help mould my sometimes wild three year old into an enthusiastic and outgoing boy with interest and creativity. We are extremely thankful to have them in our early years as there are no faults. They are lovely people to chat to and always involve the parents with in-house activities at easter, Halloween and Christmas allowing us all to form relationships with the parents of children close to each other during their days spent here. My son absolutely idolises the team here and enjoys his days being involved in many of the activities they do on the daily. The staff are some what of a god send when it has come to me getting back into work and arranging days around my shift patterns. I highly recommend anyone looking for placements in the future to consider Stork, for this reason my daughter will be apart of their family in the coming months.

The staff at Stork Day Nursery, are friendly, reliable, caring, compassionate, trustworthy and professional. They go above and beyond to meet the needs of all aged children onna daily basis. The outside space is also great for children to develop, learn, play and explore. They complete a range of various activities and focus on their educational needs and development on an indvidualised level. Through the pandemic, they have excelled and kept the nursery open for keyworkers such as myself and my husband. They provide nutrious and tasty freshly cooked meals with a seasonal and weekly menu made by Karen and have recently recieved a 5 star food hygiene rating. Excellent communication to parents, inlcuding using the Tapestry app for updates. They have good Infection Prevention and Control measures in place and have stayed free from COVID-19 and complete regular testing of staff and adhere to Goverment guidance, and ensure parents are kept up to date. Thank you, each and everyone who has helped in the development of my daughter from being there two years ago, upset to thriving as an independent, knowledgable, healthy and happy 4 year old, to her you are part of an extended family who will be very missed when she starts Primary school in September. Thank you. Highly reccomended. The nursery is opem from 07.30am until 18.00pm which also allows for flexibility for parents who have unreliable work start and finishing times.

The best childcare provided in area. Both kids loves the nursery and all of the teachers. Variety of food, balanced and tasty meals. I’m sure I’m leaving my kids in good hands, they are safe and couldn’t be better looked after. I highly recommend.
