The Old Forge Children's Day Nursery

I cannot say enough good things about The Old Forge. My daughter has been going since she was two and has absolutely loved her time in both Big Bears and Pre-School. The staff are superb - every one is so kind, welcoming and nurturing and develops wonderful relationships with the children. The outdoor provision is fantastic, including a large playground and forest school. It is clear the children are given ample opportunities to learn and play, led by their own interests. There is nothing more I would look for in a nursery!

Our little one has been here for three months now and has absolutely thrived. The staff were super supportive when first starting, they communicate well with parents (with regular updates via the app) and they are managing the transition between rooms really well. They take the children outside every day (even in December!) and we're sure this has been a huge contributing factor in our child's burgeoning sense of adventure. The variety of food the kitchen team produce is fantastic and is giving our toddler a chance to experience lots of new tastes. We have been really pleased with the quality of care here and would definitely recommend The Old Forge.

The Old Forge is a friendly and welcoming nursery. My son has been attending since he was 1 and has absolutely loved it. The staff are all lovely and the activities and forest school experiences they offer are of a high standard. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
