Our daughter has had the best start to school life I could ask for! Each key worker comes and greets us with a smile,... has time for Iris and to speak to us and make us feel at ease. Even in a short time she has learnt so much and her confidence blossoms with every day she's there. Couldn't have found a better place. It's takes a village and they are definitely the best to have behind your little ones🤍read more

What a crazy and fast time the last 16 months have been! Firstly I want to say a huge thank you to every single key... worker at the nursery, that’s sat and played, that’s nurtured, that’s wiped tears and given cuddles to my blakey! He has loved coming to you guys and is definitely already missing you all! I firmly believe it takes a village to raise a child & I want to say thank you for being part of our village! 2nd little Oliver will be arriving with you 2023! Have the best summer, you guys deserve it 💕read more

I was so nervous about leaving my son with “strangers” for the first time ever but I shouldn’t have worried! Katie,... Jess and the rest of the team have been just amazing both with William and with reassuring me. From day 1, William walked in happily without even looking back and I look forward to seeing photos of him each week on the Facebook page. He loves Katie and excitedly says her name back if we mention her! Merry go Round has also been supportive of William’s dietary needs which was such a big worry, but again I didn’t have to be. I’m so impressed that we’ve decided to keep William there over the summer holidays and beyond! Thank you all.read more

Malachi absolutely loves nursery and has thrived over the year and a half he has been here even though majority was... interrupted by covid it still hasn’t stopped him loving the place and making friends. He talks about the workers with such excitement and says that everyone is his friend which is so lovely to hear ❤️ Definitely recommend this nursery 😊read more

My little girl has been going to Merry-go-round now for about 4 weeks and she has settled in so well and absolutely... loves going. At first she was a little upset when I was leaving her which is hard to see but I recieved texts within 15 minutes of her going inside to tell me that she had settled and was playing, it really makes a difference having that small text just for reassurance, it goes a long way and it made me feel so much more at ease knowing she had stopped crying once I had left. Her development has come on so well, we have noticed a massive difference in just 4 weeks. The staff are lovely and friendly and this definitely helps with making my little one feel comfortable. Would highly recommend Merry-go-round. Keep up the good work. xread more

Daughter enjoys her nursery days on 100% . Since day 1 she feels there like at home .She feels happy, safe , progress... and learns. Merry-go-round has the friendliest staff. They look , encourage and teach those little ones . In my opinion , job they do is the job from all the heart. This was our first experience leaving daughter for few hours every day , and first month has gone fantastic. Daughter enjoys being there and does feel safe , so that's what you want from nursery , safe hands and good hearts . ❤read more

I can't recommend this nursery enough, the staff are amazing and seem so much more engaged with the children than I've... seen at other nurseries. My daughter was at another nursery but I wasn't happy with it as whenever I went to pick her up a lot of the time the kids were sat in front of a screen! She has progressed so much since starting at Merry-go-round and settled in very quickly. Staff seem to put a lot of effort in to planning themed activities on a regular basis too. They have a bright and spacious room with different zones and activities and the garden is one of the best I've seen in the area. The bonus is that the prices are very reasonable. It's also great if you have an older child at school as it's term time only but I think they have summer clubs.read more

Where on earth do I start?!I was very nervous about finding a nursery for my 2 year old, as any other Mum would be,... and those nerves dissapeared from day one.Merry-go-round has THE most incredible employees and I've always been made to feel incredibly happy and at ease to leave my boy with them Seeing the care they provide on a daily basis through pictures and daily updates has been amazing, and has instantly put a huge smile on my face. all areas of EYFS are clearly covered in depth and I found that my child was challenged on what he already knew in fun and interesting ways, developing his understanding even further!Snacks are always healthy and now and again, the treats are always lovely (for example - hot chocolate around the "campfire" this week)On collection I am always given a lovely breakdown of his day, and always alerted to any observations made.All in all I absolutely love Merry-go-round, so much so I am very much hoping my 12 week old can get a place when he is old enough! Thank you so very much Jess and the team! your hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed.read more

Such a lovely nursery and lovely staff. A huge thank you for having our boys though the summer holiday, they absolutely... loved it. Staff would get back to our messages right away and help us out last minute. My son came home talking all night about how much fun he had during the day. Thanks again, I highly recommend 👍🏽read more

Everyone at Merry go round has made my daughters journey there so far amazing. From the upset having to be pealed off... me little girl to the little girl who runs in and doesn’t look back now is just fantastic. As parents I have no worries about leaving her in the capable hands of all the staff. She’s making her own little friendship groups and loves telling me all the fun things she’s been up to each day. We can’t recommend you all enough. Thank you for all that you do⭐️read more

This is an amazing nursery and I'd highly recommend it to any parent. My daughter would just run inside without even... giving me a kiss that's how comfortable she was of being there. They are very professional and put a lot of effort into all the activities they do there.I can't thank merry go round enough for all they have done for my daughter and how well she has progressed since starting there last September.read more

Today is the beginning of Rileys second week at merry-go-round , Riley doesn't speak much and this had become... irritating for Riley as most of the time he's not being understood, he has only been at merry-go-round a week I wasn't expecting him to progress much in a week as he's been to a previous playgroup and not really progressed at all , but I can honestly say I'm gob smacked as to how many different words Riley is saying and trying to say , he seems a lot happier these days and I truly believe that he loves it at merry-go-round.The staff are very friendly and professional and always let me know exactly what Riley has been up to during the day.Highly recommended by me and Riley xread more
