What the parents have said about us

We have the results of our 2020 biennial Parents Questionnaire. The response was very positive. Thank you to the 33 parents who completed the survey. We were delighted to find that the parents were unanimous in stating that their children enjoyed coming to Nursery and that they were happy with the childcare service we provide. Among the many wonderful comments were some helpful suggestions and a few things our parents would like us to do better. These we shall address.

Here are some of the nice things you said about us …..

• We all love Elswick House. It feels like an extension of the family.
• She loves Nursery. Activities and themes are exciting and varied.
• Great variety of home cooked food.
• Nursery rules have helped our children.
• We particularly like ... the (wonderful) way the skills development is integrated into everyday life.
• We love the outdoor feel of the nursery and connection with nature and animals.
• A wonderful nursery where (our child) has been so happy. Well run, kind staff and organised brilliantly.
• One of the most wonderful things about Elswick House is how much outdoor activity there is.
• Parents and Key Carer meetings are beneficial.
• Love the regular newsletters; so nice to know the exciting things happening.
• We couldn’t ask for a nicer nursery to send our children to. Thank you.
• Elswick House really is a very special environment.
• We are absolutely thrilled with the Nursery and would recommend it to other parents.

Furthermore ..... let the parents of some our most recent leavers have the last word.

"Just wanted to say a huge thanks for providing such wonderful care for (our child) during her time at Elswick House. There is nowhere else we could have sent her where she would have been happier. You really have something special and unique at Elswick."

"We have had a fantastic four years at Elswick House, it has gone so fast and there is not another nursery I would have sent the girls to. Thank you for providing such a homely setting for the girls to learn in. They have always wanted to go (to Nursery) and never once said they didn't enjoy being there."

"Thank you for helping to shape (our child) into the bright, intelligent girl she is today; a girl that can't wait to get herself to school!"

"Thank you so much for (helping our son) through his mono-language journey to where he is now - a loud, confident and happy child, who comfortably speaks both languages."
