“I cannot speak highly enough of Nagila as a nursery. I have had 3 children there and have seen them progress, physically, mentally and emotionally. The care towards my children has been amazing and there is nothing better than picking up a happy child at the end of a day. Can’t thank them enough for everything they have done for my little ones and would always recommend the nursery to others.” (Emma B)

“Having looked at approximately 20 nurseries in and around the local area some years back when looking for a place for my son, I can honestly say that you won’t find a better setting than Nagila. My daughter is about to finish in the summer and the same is still true. Some places will dazzle you with a shiny new building, resources, daily photo up dates etc but there is no substitute for the experienced staff  who fully understand what a nursery child’s needs are and how to best develop them. The families that attend are all lovely and extremely welcoming, it is a nurturing and inclusive environment for all. Choosing your child’s first setting can feel like an enormous step but putting your trust in Nagila will certainly put them on the best path for their development in the future.” 

“Nagila is truly the most wonderful environment for my daughter.  It has been a ‘home away from home’ for us from the very beginning.  When our daughter first joined, she struggled a little bit in group scenarios – often overwhelmed by people being in her personal space, and hesitant on play apparatus.  The amount of effort that the staff have put in to develop these areas for her has been incredible.  We saw her confidence grow as each week passed. The relationships she has with all of the staff is pure magic.  She adores them and talks about them often at home. She has thrived in their care.  Such a nurturing, safe, fun, wholesome nursery.  I’ll be so sad to see her leave as she starts school in September.  But luckily, my little boy will be joining soon after that, so we get to relive the wonders of Nagila once again.” (Annike F)

“Since my daughter started Nagila Jan 2020 I realised how special the environment was. It wasn’t too big or small it was just right. All of the staff treat the children as their own and I have seen this more recently with my son who started in Jan 2022. I say to friends that Nagila provides the perfect soil and nutrients for my children’s first experience of being in another environment other than my home. Any concerns I have had about my children’s development Nagila has always been there as the perfect sounding board and reassurance. ” (Jessica R)

Our daughter Lyla has been at Nagila for two years now and she has absolutely loved it. She always comes home so happy and it’s delightful to see how much she has grown whilst she has been there. The teaching staff are amazing, not only for the children but for the parents as well, ensuring you feel completely at ease with everything.   With our younger daughter Ellie now also joining its lovely to see the both of them enjoying the nursery together.  (Marc & Cristina)

I have sent two of my children to Nagila and I plan on sending my third child as soon as she is old enough. It is the most wonderful nurturing nursery with the most fantastic staff and I cannot fault it. My kids have always been happy there and have absolutely thrived. I think it is rare to find a nursery like Nagila which acts as a second home to my children. The staff make the nursery. They are so supportive, have great rapport with both children and parents, they are warm and welcoming and extremely caring. I will be so upset when my kids finally leave but I believe we have given them the best start in life by sending them to this outstanding nursery and I just hope the rest of their education and development is as good as Nagila.

All teachers hold recognised Early Years qualifications and are led by an Early Years Professional (EYP).

Recent research (by The Effective Provision of Pre-School (EPPE) Project) has shown that one of the key indicators of the quality of childcare is the qualifications held by staff.

Our dedicated teachers promote the learning process by actively listening to and observing the children.  They enable opportunities for discovery and problem solving, guide and document the learning process, nurture individuals and relationships and help to build a sense of community.
