Western Elms Day Nursery

As a mother sending my child first time to a day care was difficult and it was much more difficult as we were all coming out of pandemic and my child was new to this place, culture and language. The staff at Western Elms made it look at easy for my child to settle in and become independent. The garden space maybe less but the children learn gardening and know how to make use of the space. I am happy that I chose this nursery for my child.

I called the nursery to enquire about a space for my daughter in September. The woman on the phone was quite short and dismissive and told me I had to send an email. It didn't give me the best of impressions but at this point I was just enquiring. I emailed as requested enquiring about a space and fees, and I was then told I needed to complete a form. This felt a little extreme considering I was still only enquiring and the information on this form was as if I was applying for a place. Anyway, I completed the form and submitted with the days I potentially wanted and other information about my daughter. The response I got was 'unfortunately we cannot accommodate your request' with no explanation offered as to why. After spending time completing a form that's the least that could have been offered. This has just allowed me to draw my own conclusions which aren't positive! With the lack of warmth and professionalism they showed me in those brief encounters, I would never feel comfortable leaving them with my child. Would not recommend.

Amazing nursery with caring staff that really develops a great relationship with the kids. All the rooms are full of educational toys and seasonal decorations, often made by the kids themselves. Great garden with a separate area for the babies. My son loves all the activities and often has seconds of the lovely meals (cooked at the nursery).

Western Elms is a lovely nursery and has amazing staff. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this nursery to anyone considering their childcare options. Not only is our child incredibly happy and supported here he is well fed and gets to experience a wide range of activities each day.
