Stanhope House Day Nursery

We're proud of our children and that their parents say such wonderful things about Stanhope Day Nursery. Below are just a sample of what our parents have said about the nursery and its staff.

I heard about Stanhope Day House Nursery from friends who had sent their children there and as soon as I had visited the nursery I didn't bother to look anywhere else - I hadn't looked anywhere beforehand either, as the recommendations had been so good.
I was very nervous about leaving my son for the first time, as he was only five and a half months old. I did not feel this way for long as the staff were so kind and answered all of my worry filled e-mails on the run up to him going and worked out a way that my son, and I could both become accustomed to leaving each other. They also assured me that our routine would be their routine and followed my incredibly long and detailed set of instructions for his care to the letter, never making me feel neurotic; which I probably was as it was such a big step.
From the first week I just knew things were going to be fine and as we built up the hours to the three days a week he would attend I was really happy and knew that everything would be fine - in fact I was so happy he now goes four days a week. The nursery also let me come and feed Nye for the months I still needed too, which was great and testimony to how friendly, supportive, flexible and accommodating everyone is.
My son is now just about to enter his last year and I will be as sad as he will to say goodbye to everyone. I joke with the staff that I would love them to continue to help me to raise my son, as they have been amazing, helped us through some difficult times and thought to do things with him that would never have crossed my mind.

Stanhope is an inclusive and friendly place where our children love to go. Ella and Joshua are happy, secure and confident children, due in no small part to the play and fun they have there. The range of support and activities easily meet their individual needs. There is a wonderful outdoor garden, with a great variety of play equipment to explore, and delicious, healthy and balanced meals to eat. Stanhope is an outstanding nursery, caring and nurturing of the children and incredibly supportive and responsive to parents’ needs. Ella is ready and excited to be going to primary school this September but we know how much she will miss her friends and all the staff.
Thanks for everything- it has not gone unnoticed!

Stanhope nursey is a very special place. The staff are universally nice and make each child feel special. There is a flexible 'can do' attitude in general and the staff work closely with parents to tailor to children's individual needs. I will be sad when my boys leave but feel they have had a great start in life!

I can’t imagine feeling anymore confident, secure and happy than with leaving my children in the caring hands of Stanhope Day Nursery. Stanhope is more than a nursery to us. Attention to individual interests, needs and development never ceases to impress. The family atmosphere transcends to the care of the children, who are looked after with real affection, care and concern. Children are made to feel responsible, and when older, their questions are taken seriously and often even explored in tailored, original activities.
Thanks to all the staff at nursery for doing such a beautiful job; our daughter recently took her first steps in nursery, leaving a nursery nurse nearly in tears….need I say more?
Thank you to all staff, you are wonderful.
