Parent's Testimonials

Here at Meadow Nursery School we strive to build strong relationships with children and their families. We believe that working closely in partnership provides children the secure foundations needed to learn and develop in their early years. We aim to do our best at all times for the families that attend Meadow and we are always here to help. These are just some of the comments our parents say about Meadow Nursery School:

 

From the very first phone call, we were made to feel comfortable and listened to. As first-time nursery parents we had a lot of fears and questions, and you took the time to squash every single one. Nothing felt too much trouble. From our first visit, we knew Meadow was the perfect place for Maryam.

The transition for our daughter was tailored perfectly to her. You let us build up the session slowly at our pace and considered us as a family. The detailed daily updates on Tapestry helped so much as we were able to tak about it at home after the sessions. Because of that, she settled much quicker than we expected and now happily talks about nursery at home. We loved your approach of Maryam being comfortable at nursery and wanting to come in, rather than being left crying. This helped build trust between everyone.

The team have been so warm and attentive and it is clear she is safe and cared for at Meadow. Maryam talks about all the staff all the time and pretends to be the teachers from Meadow at home when playing with her little sister. We also love seeing all the activities on Tapestry and also appreciate how you take the time to sit and talk with Maryam about what we have uploaded onto Tapestry from home.

Maryam talks about the activities she does at Meadow, she is always excited to see what is set up at nursery and each morning when we walk in, there are new activities set up in the garden. We are kept updated via the newsletter and Tapestry on what topics are being covered at nursery and it’s lovely to see the activities that are carried out and the level of adult input into tasks.

Thank you for making what felt like a huge step feel so manageable. You’ve given us real peace of mind knowing Maryam is happy, and we’re genuinely grateful to the whole team. We look forward to sending our next baby to you in September

I would like to share some positive feedback about Meadow nursery school my daughter attends. 

 

Since joining the nursery, my daughter has been very happy, confident, and excited to attend each day. The staff are very caring, attentive, and supportive. I feel like they create a safe, happy environment for children.

I am very happy with the variety of educational and creative activities they provide, and the warm relationships they build with both children and parents. 

Mrs Shubina

I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent settling‑in system the nursery has in place. The gradual approach, including several play visits and a home visit from the key worker is time‑intensive, but it clearly prioritises children’s emotional wellbeing. It made a significant difference in helping my daughter feel safe, confident, and supported from the very beginning.

 

The nursery is consistently child‑centred, with staff taking time to understand each child’s personality, interests, and needs. Alongside this, the team promotes important life skills such as good manners, hygiene routines, and safe behaviour. On days when my daughter found transitions a little more challenging, I was invited to join some of the activities. This gave me valuable insight into practice, and I was genuinely impressed by the calm atmosphere, the purposeful structure of the sessions, and the high quality of the resources available.

 

We also appreciate the fundraising events and regular celebrations the nursery organises. These activities help build a strong sense of community and create positive shared experiences for children and families.

 

The one‑to‑one meetings with the two main teachers were particularly helpful. It provided a clear and detailed overview of Amaia’s development and highlighted next steps in a supportive, constructive way. I felt fully informed and reassured about her progress.

 

At this stage, I do not have any suggestions for improvement. We are very happy with the staff’s approach, the learning opportunities provided, and the no‑tech environment that encourages meaningful play and interaction. It is reassuring to know that our daughter is in such a nurturing, well‑organised, and thoughtfully managed setting.

Mr and Mrs Moreno May 2026

I would like to share how supportive I find Meadow to be, not just for the child attending but for the whole family. 

 

My eldest child went to meadow and now my second daughter is enjoying her final term before she starts school. They both absolutely thrived there. My youngest child unfortunately will not go to meadow due to needing a more specialist setting, but Debbie and the team have been so incredibly supportive in helping guide us in what to look for and answering lots of our questions. They go above and beyond for the whole family - even the children who aren’t at their setting. 

Mrs Lou May 2026

 

I would just like to say how much we love Meadow Nursery!

 

All the staff are so attentive to the children and do an amazing job looking after them.

 

The activities the children get to do are great and Freddie is always coming home with new stuff he has learnt that day.

 

He has made a lovely little group of friends too.

Mrs Moring May 2026

Our daughter has attended this nursery since she was 3 years old, and the progress she has made during her time here has been incredible. She has grown into a confident, happy, kind, and blossoming little girl who is constantly learning new and exciting things every day. Her communication, independence, and social skills have improved so much, and it is amazing to see how much she has developed with the support and encouragement of the nursery staff.

 

The staff are absolutely wonderful and create such a warm, caring, and nurturing environment for all of the children. It is clear how much love, effort, and attention goes into every aspect of the nursery. The activities provided are excellent — educational, engaging, and perfectly suited to this age group. Our daughter is always excited to attend and comes home talking about everything she has learned and enjoyed.

 

The nursery itself is always clean, tidy, and welcoming, which reflects the pride and care the staff take in the setting as a whole. Every member of staff goes above and beyond, not only caring deeply for the children but also for the entire nursery community. Their kindness, patience, dedication, and genuine passion for what they do shines through every single day, and it gives parents complete confidence and reassurance knowing their children are in such safe and loving hands.

 

We truly cannot praise Meadow enough for the amazing impact they have had on our daughter and our family. I would recommend Meadow time and time again to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, caring, and enriching environment for their child. The staff should be incredibly proud of the positive difference they make to children and families every day.

 

Mrs Smith May 2026

 

Our daughter has been going to Meadow since September 2025 and we couldn’t fault the setting. They have really supported her development particularly in areas where she requires extra support and have been instrumental in her progress.

 

Our daughter wakes up excited to go to nursery and I think that speaks volumes for both the management and all the staff at Meadow. 

Mrs Andres May 2026

 

I just wanted to express how pleased and grateful we are with how well Aveer has settled into nursery since joining. 

 

Before choosing a nursery, we visited several others, but this was the only place where the teachers made such a genuine effort to talk to him, engage with him, and gently encourage him to join in with play. Seeing how naturally he responded to that warmth and encouragement immediately stood out to us and reassured us that this was the right environment for him.

 

Since starting, it has been wonderful to see how much he has grown in confidence, made friends, and become so much more independent in such a short space of time. We were especially proud when he himself wanted to join lunch club, which really showed how comfortable and happy he feels at nursery.

 

This is all down to Debbie and the fantastic team, whose care, patience, and support have made such a positive difference to him. We truly appreciate everything they do and wanted to say thank you for creating such a nurturing environment.

Amrit Gill May 2026

 

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the excellent care and support you have provided. We are very pleased with the friendly and dedicated staff, and we truly value the positive and nurturing environment you offer.

 

Our daughter has learned so much during this period, and we are grateful for the patience, professionalism, and kindness you have shown her every day. It is reassuring for us to see her grow, develop, and enjoy her time at the kindergarten.

 

Thank you for your continuous efforts and for creating such a wonderful experience for our child.

Mrs Varnali May 2026

 

Meadows is such a wonderful nursery my son went there and my daughter is currently there. It’s is such a friendly, safe, nurturing environment both my children have and do absolutely love coming here. The staff are amazing they are so kind, caring and truly passionate about their jobs and caring for our children. I always highly recommend meadow to anyone looking for a preschool. I can’t thank them enough for how well they have and do take care of my children 

Mrs Schofield May 2026

​My daughter started nursery school in September, and the team has been incredibly supportive from the beginning. They created a transition plan that was truly in her best interests and helped her settle in smoothly. The teachers are warm, engaging, and attentive with the children. They provide a wide variety of interesting and stimulating activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence. We also really appreciate that the children are able to choose their own activities and have the option to play outside or stay indoors, depending on their interests and preferences.''

Mrs Borrisova - May 2026

I would like to take this opportunity to share my heartfelt feedback about the nursery and the wonderful team.

My daughter attended the nursery four years ago, and now my son has been there for the past two years. Over the years, the nursery has touched our family’s life in such a positive and meaningful way. I truly cannot express enough gratitude for the care, support, and kindness shown to both of my children throughout their time there.

The warm and nurturing environment, along with the engaging activities and dedication from every member of staff, makes the nursery such a special place. My children have always felt happy, safe, and confident, and it has been wonderful to see them grow and develop with the support of such a caring team.

The staff consistently go above and beyond for the children and families, and as parents, this gives us complete peace of mind. Their kindness, patience, and genuine care are something we deeply appreciate.

As a small gesture of gratitude for everything the nursery has done for our family, I became a committee member because I wanted to give something back and support the amazing work you all do.

Thank you to you and the entire team for the dedication, warmth, and positivity you bring every day. I am incredibly happy to be part of the nursery community and fully support the setting.

Mrs Canpolat May 2026

From my own experience as a teacher, having worked in and led a number of outstanding Early Years settings, I knew how difficult it would be to find the right nursery for my own children. However, from the moment I first visited Meadow Nursery with my son, I knew it was somewhere special and exactly where I wanted him to be. He received the very best start to his education, so when the time came, we had no hesitation in sending our daughter too.

Florence joined Meadow in September 2025 aged 2 years 9 months, and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive from the very beginning. Her transition into nursery was handled with care, warmth, and sensitivity which was reassuring for both Florence and I, especially as she had never been away from family before. 

Since starting at Meadow, Florence has made great progress in both her confidence and learning. She is always excited to attend nursery and comes home each day with a huge smile on her face, eager to share what she has been doing. The staff communicate regularly about the children’s learning and also share how we can support their development at home.

 

The team at Meadow are truly wonderful. They are professional, nurturing, and consistently demonstrate genuine care for each child as an individual. It is very clear that they take the time to understand every child’s needs and development, whilst also building strong relationships with their families.

 

Meadow is a warm, inspiring, and supportive environment where children are encouraged to flourish and reach their full potential. We feel incredibly grateful that Florence is part of such a wonderful setting.

 

Mr and Mrs Hampton May 2026

I would like to share my feedback about Meadow Nursery and the support they have provided to my daughter, Polina, and our family.

We recently moved to England, and our relocation was largely a forced decision due to the situation in our home country. As a result, adapting to a completely new life has been a difficult and stressful experience for our whole family.On top of that, we are still in the process of learning English, which made the situation even more challenging

Polina has also always been a very sensitive child. She is extremely attached to me, her mother, and from an early age she found new people and unfamiliar places overwhelming and frightening. Even short separations from me used to cause her great distress, often resulting in tears and severe emotional upset.

When Polina first started at Meadow Nursery, her transition was very challenging. However, the support we received from the nursery was truly exceptional.

The staff treated Polina with kindness, patience, warmth and genuine care. They took the time to understand her individual emotional needs and approached her transition thoughtfully and professionally. They worked closely with us as parents, gave us guidance and reassurance, and created an adaptation plan tailored specifically to our daughter and our family situation.

Most importantly, they never used pressure or force. Instead, they helped Polina build trust gradually, at her own pace, while still maintaining clear and supportive boundaries.

The progress Polina has made since joining Meadow Nursery has been incredible.

Today, I see a happy child who talks enthusiastically about nursery and her teachers. She enjoys attending, is developing socially and emotionally, and feels safe and secure in the environment the staff have created for her. I regularly receive thoughtful updates and photos showing the activities, learning experiences and care provided throughout the day, and it is clear how much effort the team puts into supporting every child.

As a parent, I feel enormous gratitude towards everyone at Meadow Nursery. Their care and professionalism have made an extremely positive difference not only to my daughter’s development, but to our whole family’s wellbeing during a very difficult period of our lives.

I truly cannot imagine a better nursery for my daughter.

-Mrs Neumiarzhytskaya May 2026

Meadow has consistently provided a wonderful, nurturing environment for my children. Even as both approached school age and were among the older children in the academic year, they remained engaged, inspired, and encouraged to learn and grow every day. The staff know how to meet children where they are and support their development with genuine care and attentiveness. - Mrs King, July 2025

Meadow is an exceptional setting that provides outstanding care. The staff are dedicated, caring, thoughtful and treat the children like the fun, silly, crazy individuals they are. Meadow is like a big family and we're so sad to be leaving, even if only for a year before little sister starts! - Mrs Foster-Kennedy, July 2025

Meadow Nursery is an outstanding nursery. The teachers are so caring and know our child inside out. The quality of care really has been exceptional and we look forward to sending our daughter there in 2027. - Miss Thomas, July 2025

We would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to the entire team at Meadow Nursery School for the exceptional care, attention and dedication they demonstrate every day. From the very beginning, we were confident that we had made the right decision in choosing this nursery for our daughter. Every day, she looks forward to going and comes home full of joy, excitement and stories about the new things she has learned and the meaningful experiences she has had. It is obvious that the educational approach is carefully designed. The daily activities are not only engaging, but also developmentally appropriate, encouraging both academic and personal growth. Our daughter is thriving - learning essential skills while growing emotionally and socially in a warm, protective and inclusive environment. We are particularly impressed by the strong sense of unity and collaboration within the team. The entire staff is professional, compassionate, and truly dedicated to the well-being and development of children. Their kindness, patience, and dedication give us, as parents, a deep sense of trust and peace of mind. We are truly grateful for the safe, positive, and inspiring atmosphere that Meadow Nursery School provides. It is a place where children are encouraged to explore, express themselves, and develop a lifelong love of learning. We are proud and happy that we chose this nursery. Thank you again for your continued efforts and for creating such a special place for children to grow and develop. - Miss Varnali, July 2025

Meadow is an amazing nursery which has taught our daughter a love for learning. The blending of learning and play is impressive with so many inventive ways of bringing the curriculum to life. My daughter has thrived here. The teachers have so much passion for early years, we are amazingly grateful for their commitment to our daughter’s start to education. - Mrs Goffin, July 2025

"My daughter started Meadow this term and she could not be happier coming in. Every morning she asks if it is "preschool today?!". I believe the reason she enjoys coming  so much is because the staff are fantastic at taking the time to get to know each individual child.  The nurture they provide is outstanding and all the activities are so engaging and interesting. 

I can not imagine my daughter being happier anywhere else- thank you! "

-  Stacey, September 2023

"Just wanted to say Emilia has thoroughly enjoyed her time at meadows, we’re so sad she’s moving onto her next challenge however we know she’s ready and a lot of that is down to the confidence she’s gained from attending meadow.

Thank you for helping our little one grow."

"Meadow Nursery has been the best nursery I have ever had to experience! They are all so kind and work hard to provide everything your child needs. They hold your hand as you navigate through special needs requirements and even offer to be with you at doctors' appointments! They are a very special bunch of people who care for your child's wellbeing, needs and progress and who also show their care and support for parents.  I wish I could take them with me to my child's next school."
