I am very happy with this nursery. Being a primary school teacher myself, I found it hard to find the right setting for my babies as I have some knowledge as to how a suitable setting should be. I visited several different settings in the area but was really impressed with the provision Amazing Grace offers. Firstly I like the open hall space, nice and airy and allows for more eyes on the kids. I also have a phobia of stairs and little ones so this was one tick for me. The second tick for me was seeing how friendly the staff were to the children. The staff really do care about the children and this allows the children to flourish! I visited lots of nurseries in the summer term and it was a very hot week... and this nursery was the o ly one I saw where a water tray activity was being used. This might sound bonkers but I know that some EYFS settings dont really like water play so when I saw this I just knew this was the right place for me. I love the themed learning that they do and the exciting and creative activities they do. Both of my kids are making excellent progress since they have started only 3 months ago! I have to say that the reading provision is very good also. My eldest just loves talking about the books she reads at nursery. I love that the staff read to my children and promote that love for reading also.
I love how easy the drop offs and pick ups are. My children are always greeted at the door by a friendly face and the staff always have time to talk to me. I also love that the children are coated and have clean nappies when I pick them up which helps me get home more quickly and not need to worry about changing nappies when I get in.
The feedback is always really helpful when the children are handed over and I love hearing about how they got on during the day. The staff are also very good at keeping me informed and I just love the daily photos that I get to see when I am at work... it makes my day seeing pictures of them doing wonderful things. The communication book is also very handy as I can see what they have eaten, how much they have had to drink, when they slept and for how long and when they had their nappy changed.
Amazing Grace allow for all the areas of learning to be accessed. I just love the messy play and water play activities that they set up. My youngest is only one but everyday she comes home singing the songs she has learnt at nursery and her language and understanding of language is amazing since she has been there.
I am very happy with my choice of nursery. The staff are happy to be there, friendly and I just know that my children are being cared for as a unique child. They really get to know my children well and know their strengths and weaknesses. A great team of staff! Great facilities! The food always looks tasty! The manager is very passionate and approachable and very good at leading her team. I am super happy with Amazing Grace and would be happy to recommend this nursery! Thank you Amazing GRace and keep up the excellent work!
