Stretton Day Nursery is a lovely nursery with a home from home environment and very experienced staff. The staff are very welcoming and really get to know your child well. My little boy has settled in very well and looks forward to going to nursery, he has made a lot of progress since joining. Home-made, nutritious meals are provided. I would certainly recommend Stretton Day Nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

My son has attended Stretton Day Nursery for the last 12 months and has loved every minute of his time there! The staff are wonderful and very supportive towards the children and parents. He has learnt so much and built some brilliant relationships with the staff and will miss them very much when he starts school in September. I would definitely recommend Stretton Day nursery to anyone looking for a place for their children. Five stars!!

We chose Stretton day nursery based on recommendations from other parents in the village, and it’s easy to say that all of our expectations have been surpassed. All of the nursery staff are so friendly and go above and beyond, they take so much pride in what they do. This nursery truly has a family feel, and the garden facilities are phenomenal, it really is a home from home for little ones!

We love the nursery. I have sent both my children here. My eldest went from 1 year old to school age and my youngest from 1 during the pandemic. He is still at the nursery and thriving. The staff are great and so caring. They have become so important to our family. They know our children so well and the children have a great relationship with them. The nursery had loads of outside space and lots of different zones and they play outside all the time which is perfect for keeping the children happy and entertained. The activities have an educational side. The children are always well protected in appropriate clothes and sun lotion. The boys language and social skills are really good and nursery has definitely helped with that. They have supported both boys with development activities like toilet training; dressing and eating meals. Settling in was easy, even during covid. When you see the children they are happy but calm. I absolutely recommend Stretton Day Nursery.

Both of my children attended Stretton Day Nursery from 12 months until they went to school and we still use the after school club service now. I couldn’t be happier with the service they provide! At the nursery, my children were always well looked after and the family feel to the nursery always filled me with confidence. I have previously and still would, highly recommended this nursery.
