Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability
Nov 17th, 2021

Both of my children attend this nursery and my daughter (4) has been attending since she was 9 months old and my son (18 months) has been since he was 10 months old. From the baby room to the main room the care and attention that gets given to my children is second to none. All of the staff have a caring and attentive nature and I cannot fault this nursery one bit. I have recently been supported through a tough time and I honestly cannot explain how amazing they have been to me and my babies. As soon as there are any health/accident worries they are straight on the phone to advise/update you. 5 stars isn't enough of a rating they are far beyond this.

I had put a one star by accident. I had a parking issue with regards to the road opposite the school. I would like to say that after contacting the school they are trying to work with me to make it better for there staff and the residents. I would put a 5 star but i have absolutely no idea with regards to the actual school and the quality teaching etc. Thank you

My son loved his time at Morelands Nursery. Thank you so much for giving him the best start!

My son used to attend Growing Places Morelands. They have good initiatives, such as the One Project, but they are the most disorganised nursery I've dealt with. The Operational Manager is simply awful: temperamental, with obstructive attitude in multiple occasions, producing incorrect invoices nearly every month and not knowing how to deal with issues/offer solutions or respond to criticism. Just a bad attitude all around, condoned by the CEO who brushed off my complaint as it "was not life or death". We kept getting bad service with little change, which was extremely frustrating. The last drop for us was when the Manager tried to make difficult my son's transition into school. (Prior to that she was also obstructive with my son's care, even after GP advice). In the end, we decided to swap nurseries, and my only regret is that I did not do it sooner! A friend of mine decided not to enrol her youngest with them for similar issues (the Manager's attitude, being overcharged nearly every month, and so on). Sorry to say, as most of the staff are friendly, but the organisation did let us down multiple times and I would not recommend this nursery to anyone. Life is stressful enough... You can get better service elsewhere.
