Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents are very happy about the care, learning, and support their children receive.
They comment on positive partnerships they have with staff and the support and guidance they gain, including through planned workshops.
Inclusion & environment
All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress from their starting points. The management team and staff are well qualified and skilled to identify gaps in children's learning and quickly provide support to help children catch up.
Children enjoy their time outdoors and build on their physical skills. For example, they pedal on tricycles in the garden and visit local parks and allotment. This also contributes to their knowledge about nature, community, and different people.
A truly lovely nursery! My son attends their after school club and has a ball every time he is there. A loving, fun team, lots of things for the children to do. I'm self employed and need adhoc hours, they're always amazing at accommodating this. I wish I knew how fantastic this nursery was before he was school aged, would have booked him in for day nursery! Highly recommend

We have 3 kids aged between 13 and 4 and our 4 year old has gone to Ivytree for the last 2 years roughly and the best thing i can say is i wish we had known about Ivytree so that my 2 older children could have gone. We feel bad for them that they didn't go and their little brother did. It is hands down the best nursery we have ever had and across our 3 children, having moved around a lot, we must have used circa 10 over the years and they stand out from every other one by a country mile. On everything. Amazing, friendly, welcoming, warm and down to earth staff plus we know everyone's first names as they have all been there since day 1 plus they are incredibly flexible and they never say no at the last minute if we need extra sessions etc which to a busy family like us, is priceless. Simply put, if you are looking for a nursery for your child, make one phone call to Ivytree today, they are amazing.
