 "Things you like about St Mary's Nursery".....

  • Lovely friendly staff, welcoming, very hard working with children and keep parents involved.
  • My child likes learning new things at nursery and then comes home and teaches mummy.
  • Being kept up to date with my child's journal.
  • I like the fact that learning is personalised towards each child in terms of their next steps in development. 
  • The excellent manners that they teach to children.
  • The nursery has excellent resources to enhance the children's learning and the staff are lovely and generous and my son loves coming to nursery. 
  • Excellent learning environment. 
  • Communication on a personal level.
  • Wonderful nursery, made even better by brilliant, dedicated staff. I was nervous to send my daughter but my mind was put at ease straight away. Thanks guys. 
  • We love the atmosphere it provides our daughter, we love the staff, setting and amazing team.
  • Staff have helped massively with her eating and language.
  • We like the fact independence is promoted from the offset. Nice set up with areas that are changed regularly. 
  • Lots of enjoyable and interesting activities, especially messy play. Caring, friendly staff.
  • Children thrive here at St Mary's Nursery and become confident in many different aspects. Staff are all approachable and friendly.
