In June 2019 the nursery my daughter had been attending was closed due to financial cut backs. As soon as I was made aware this was happening I began my search for a new place for her. Travelling was no issue as long as the EYPS were friendly and the nursery was well structured.
I bounced around with a few ideas but then decided to do a surprise visit to Little Gemz to see if the EYPS were as pleasant in person as they were over the phone. I had called because I couldn't actually locate the building and arranged an appointment for the following day.
I turned up 30minutes after my phone call to a very warm welcome and a viewing around the nursery. Considering I just turned up I was offered well structured routines and information about the nursery and the service it provides to all the child placed there.
I left feeling happy that I had arranged some taster sessions.
When I returned for the taster sessions my daughter settled immediately within the new surroundings and seemed at ease with all EYPS who were present that day. I again had daily routines and educational plans for my daughter's age group explained with enthusiasm and a genuine passion for the opportunity to support and help develop her in readiness for starting Primary school.
The nursery manager and deputy made themselves known and have always ensured they're easily approached. The deputy manager is always involved in the day to day activities and can been seen playing a big role within the nursery setting.
I feel comfortable in saying that every child placed at this nursery is just as important as the next and all of the EYPS enjoy their roles and are seen to be passionate about the safety and support of all of the children placed with them.
I am extremely happy that I chose this nursery for my daughter and I can not thank all of the lovely EYPS enough for the encouragement and support they have shown my daughter.
