Parent comments
"I’m so lucky that both my children attend this nursery. They always look forward to going and have a great time. The staff are very friendly, and the nursery manager is great and very helpful." Submitted through DayNurseries.co.uk (March 2024)
"We are really pleased with the level of care that the staff at Laindon Nursery provide. They are always friendly and approachable, and my child is very happy there. We are kept well informed of exactly what they are doing and how our child is getting on during each day, and we are regularly asked for our ideas and feedback." Submitted through DayNurseries.co.uk (March 2024)
"I am very happy to say that this is a brilliant nursery! My daughter loves it here and is very sad to leave to go to a bigger school. They have helped and catered to my daughter's disability and getting a diagnosis. Always kept up to date with how she has been throughout the day. Highly recommended." Submitted through DayNurseries.co.uk (March 2024)
"My daughter will be leaving here and continuing her journey to bigger school. She started here a shy little girl and I can't believe how much has changed. She has an amazing relationship with the staff who are fantastic with what they do and have a special connection with the children. I also had another daughter who left last year and still sees the staff when picking her younger sibling up and has never lost that relationship with them. It's been a brilliant nursery the whole time we have been there and I know they will both miss the staff very much.
I would highly recommend this nursery." Submitted through DayNurseries.co.uk (August 2023)
"I absolutely love this nursery. After visiting a few different ones I found this one suited us the best. When my son first started he was so nervous to be away from me but the staff made it an easy transition for him. He settled in and his sister joint him. I’ve been so happy with the progress my children have made and the staff are absolutely lovely! Now my eldest is starting school in September but my youngest will be staying with Laindon Nursery as I couldn’t be happier." Submitted through DayNurseries.co.uk (July 2023)
