S B

Mother Of Child

My daughter has only been attending Osmaston Day Nursery for a period of time, but the first day she went she was so unsettled when left her but on picking her up she was all smiles. She now can not wait to get through the doors every session. Staff amazing too, keep me up to date with everything my daughter does while there.

Mother Of Child

Osmaston Day Nursery is literally a little patch of heaven. My daughter has thrived so much and has been supported so well by the staff and her peers in the preschool. All staff are friendly and very dedicated to providing the best care and support they can, and there are always lots of fun activities and imaginary play to help children progress and bloom! I can't fault this nursery at all, always so clean and welcoming.

Mother Of Child

Lovely staff, both my children enjoy going to nursery and love all of the activities. All of the staff are amazing, helped my kids talk more and form sentences. My kids love telling me how their day went and what they did.

Gemma S

Mother Of Child

My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was nearly 2 years old, she loves the staff and friends here. She has learnt a lot since being here and the staff liaise with me on how her day has been whilst at nursery. My daughter has also been doing the REAL project with the nursery, which helps with bonding with the teachers in a different environment which I think is a great idea.

Mother Of Child

We absolutely love Osmaston Day Nursery, my two-year-old boy has such great relationships with the staff. The updates on his app show his progression in his life skills and how much fun he's having. He's connected really well with his key worker, and he tells me all about the brilliant day he's had when he gets home. Really nutritious meals as well and he's eats them all up!
