My son attends this nursery and so did my daughter before him. It is a wonderful place and both my children have been looked after with immense care. The staff are always kind and professional, if it is near you or you are able to drive here, I couldnt recommend it enough!

The staff are dishonest and use Covid as an excuse for some of the silly things they do. The management operates in a way that youd expect an inexperienced person operate. Really messy and unprofessional looking. Especially in the foyer near the reception desk. Looks like an abandoned church hall or something.

Very happy with the experience so far. From the first time coming to view up to now. I like their communication. I like their polite mannerisms and how informative they are. I like the tapestry and how it is detailed and filled in EVERYDAY. I like how my daughter has progressed. I like the relationship she has not just with her key worker but all staff members. All in all I am very happy with Inspired Day Nursery and I would love if Im still in the area for all my children in the future to also come here.

Our eldest daughter attended Inspire and the level of care was amazing, she really flourished and that was all down to the wonderful environment created by the Inspire team. So when it came to choosing a nursery for our youngest daughter it was a no brainer... Inspire it was. We felt like we picked up where we left off. It was wonderful to see the same faces and high levels of care were still in place. Even in these difficult Covid times the staff have created a great nursery, full of varied opportunities. All the staff team made my daughter feel comfortable and the transition went really smoothly

very welcoming staff and a caring environment that is useful for a child's development. Also a very detailed report relayed back to you about your child progress at the end of the day without worries.

My son has really enjoyed his time at the Inspire Day Nursery, making many friends and learning and growing in a safe, secure and fun environment. I have always found the staff to be friendly, flexible and responsive to any concerns I have had, and I appreciate the feedback we get through his going home book. I appreciate the emphasis on education and preparing him for school, encouraging him with numeracy, literacy and writing, all of which are coming on in leaps and bounds, Special Mention to Tony and Shaun !
