I haven’t but amazing words to say about this Nursery!!! My little boy has attended coming up to a year and he and myself are extremely happy with the practice and learning within the nursery setting. The staff are fantastic with my little boys SEN needs and on top of further ways to support him; in addition, the partnership with parents is extremely strong through hand over at collection and the ‘Famly’ app. If you are thinking of enrolling your child/children I highly recommend this safe, creative and fun environment. It truly is an amazing nursery!!!

My little boy loves this nursery so much. We chose it initially based on just reviews online. The nursery is gorgeous and there are so many activities inside and outside. The staff are all amazing and go above and beyond to support the children and make their experience a happy one. I was concerned how they’d get our tricky sleeper to nap at nursery but they do it well. If he needs 2 naps they do it, if he needs 1 they do it. They’re more than happy to take your lead if that’s what you want, the staff always provide updates via the easy to use new app, and let us know how he’s been at the end of the day on pick up. The app is great as you see throughout the day what’s been eaten, the nap times are updated live and you get a picture each day of an activity your child’s enjoyed. You can also send a message if you are worried or child’s ill etc. The food is healthy and varied and timings for meals are convenient. Even the staff in other rooms bond with your child and get to know them. The office staff and management are so organised and professional, speedy responses and very reassuring, including invoices being accurate and updated via the app. You certainly don’t get this experience in all settings. We changed our minds about which nursery to use a month before my boy started and we have zero regrets sending him here!

Ashby Day Nursery have been nothing but brilliant since my daughter started in 2022.
I viewed many nurseries ahead of choosing what was right for us but Ashby Day was the only one that ticked every box if not more.
Choosing a nursery for my lockdown baby felt like a massive jump but every single staff member made me feel at ease and comfortable in my decision in sending her. They were professional, caring, loving and the rooms were clean and organised.
Most importantly they helped support me when I had worries about my daughter not reaching milestones and the possibility of being on the Autism Spectrum. They listened, agreed and acted and because of this my daughter has started mainstream school this year in a positive way with the funding we need nearly in place.
They made sure she felt included, had her safe foods to eat and learnt her ways of communicating so that they could understand her. I can't thank them enough for all they have done for her.

My younger daughter still attends the nursery and has done since the beginning on this year (2024). She is thriving and absolutely loves spending time there. She has formed lovely bonds with the staff members in the room and I feel content leaving her knowing she is loved and cared for.

All the staff members know every child and give handovers on pick up. From what they've eaten, played with, learnt in the day to nap times, they know every detail which shows the level of care they provide. They do lovely activities with them such as baking, building obstacle courses outside, yoga and lots of sensory play.
They update the app with a photo everyday your child is there and they all go above and beyond for each child.

Nursery for us feels like an extended family, I cannot recommend them enough!

The BEST place for my daughter. She has loved it there since starting as a baby and will be shortly moving to school. The staff are incredible, attentive, positive and always engaging. Can’t wait to send my second daughter in the spring to stay part of the family.

Our son who has special needs attended Ashby day nursery during his pre school years. They were very good with him ..... particularly one member of staff who went that extra mile.
We would happily recommend.
