'My daughter couldn't wait to start the day every time she was due to go to Reflections. She had the most amazing experiences at Forest School. Even now, just over a year later I still see the effects Reflections had on my daughter through her love of learning, which really helped her transition into school.

The staff go above and beyond the call of duty. My daughter still loves to talk about Martin and Shelly.

We can't wait to send our son once I go back to work.'

'My son Iggy attended Reflections (Pre school) for one year, after moving into the area from London. He loved it especially Forest school and the creative skills that are encouraged in the Art department. He now attends the nursery for after school club and also holiday club which are very well organised and the trips out are brilliant.

My second son is now at the nursery and thriving. I feel happy leaving my children, in the knowledge they are getting the best of care.'

~Isabella Davies

'I have 2 children who have both attended Reflections and who now still return for their school holiday club. Both my children adore Reflections and do not want to go home at the end of the day. My youngest has just started school and I have been told is the most articulate in his class and put a lot of this down to Reflections support and work. They use new ideas and explore ways for children to learn without just supervising children in a room full of toys! I would reconmend Reflections to all!'

~Hierlei Nash

'My daughter started when I moved to the area and she was 2 1/2, and went full time straight away. She settled in without any issues, and was well looked after from day one from all of the great staff there.

I noticed fantastic improvements in her development throughout her time at Reflections and she was given so many experiences that other nurseries could not have offered her, including the amazing forest school. She found transitions between rooms easy, and also enjoyed her time at Cafe Zone.'

~Ben Case

'My eldest son joined reflections at 6 months old and left just before he started school. As parents we were impressed from the minute we stepped into the building for first visit. The staff are very involved and have bags of knowledge and energy. The management work closely with families and have always been professional and flexible. Our experience with Reflections could not have been more positive! We have a new baby and are really looking forward to him joining Reflections soon!'

~Isabel Simoes-Spavins

'We really couldn't have asked for a better start to our daughter's education than the time she spent at Reflections. She left this summer after 3 years there and had a magical time.

The building and garden were great places for the children to play and explore, the staff were great and she forged some fantastic relationships there.In addition, their Forest School was a real highlight of each of her weeks there.

Thoroughly recommended.'

~ Lewis Burns-Allan

'My son has recently left Reflections to attend school having been there since he was 10 months old. I cannot praise the staff enough for the care they have shown him and he has adored them in return. The activities on offer have been wonderful and the garden is a great space for children with a lot of opportunity for fresh air and exercise. Forest School is excellent and my son grew in confidence from his weekly trips to the woods.

I would highly recommend Reflections to others, they are constantly striving to improve the experience of the children who attend and I am confident that they will continue to do so in years to come. My son was very sorry to leave.'

~Jenny Knight

An amazing start in life and total peace of mind for parents to know that everything is taken care of - particularly if you are leaving them full time. A very creative place - helping where they need help, but letting them work it out for themselves too.

Somehow they manage to get a clear structure and routine into each day (which i believe children do need) while also keeping every day completely different - and allowing the children to go off on their own tangents as they need to.

They have helped us mould a wonderful and well rounded individual and she has loved every minute.'

~Jennifer and Simon Hamilton

'Reflections Nursery, according to my girls is their 2nd home. They love all the fun things they do, the food is yummy and love playing in the garden with their friends. For Mum and Dad it's happiness in knowing that you are leaving your children in a safe, happy, educational environment surrounded by the same love and care that they get at home.'

~Michelle Roake

'Reflections succeeded in giving my daughter the very best start - education, fun, friendships, social skills and love. Can't rate them highly enough!'

~Kerris Hougardy

'If you are looking for a truly progressive, inspiring and nurturing place for you little one this is it. They really care for the uniqueness of each child and are so committed to their learning and individual interests. My daughter was so excited & inspired by the activities and projects that went on - and I have to say I was too! You know it’s an awesome place when you (the mum) would LOVE to spend all day every day there.'

~Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer

'Our son attended Reflections from 10 months of age until school. He was always well cared for and extremely well managed despite his multiple allergies. He thoroughly enjoyed his time there, his imagination was actively encouraged, enabling exploration of new ideas and themes. The outside space at Reflections is amazing and the atelier work there is so creative, he also attended forest school in his last year at the nursery which really improved his physical, adventure and leadership skills, he absolutely loved it! We knew how much he enjoyed his time there because he was always so proud to show us around 'his nursery'. We couldn’t have asked for a better start in life for him, or a better preparation for school.'

~Zoe Moyse

'Both my children went to reflections from around 9 months to starting school. I was the only person who looked after my children so looking for somewhere to match me was going to be a challenge. Reflections met all my criteria. Throughout their stay my children were very well cared for with true professionalism from every member of the team. Surroundings are beautiful and spacious and their philosophy is second to none. I have on many occasions recommended reflections and no one has been disappointed. Resources available to the children are fantastic. The food they are given is outstanding, what you would expect at a quality restaurant. My children have had the best start in life. I only wish reflections had a school as both of my children would be attending.'

~Jenny Ladd

'Both of my Children had a wonderful time at Reflections. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, the food provided is excellent and very varied and Forest School has made an enormous difference in their physical confidence. Reflections is expensive compared to some other nurseries, but the attention to detail and level of care provided makes it well worth it and I would recommend Reflections to anybody.'

~Chris Parkin

'Having had two children in Reflections our experience has always been positive. The team are great at communicating and you really feel you are ‘joint caring’. From weaning to toilet training to learning preschool skills, all the reflections team are consistent and respectful of individual wishes. The spaces inside and outside are stimulating and engaging. Hand on heart it's been the best start for my 2 children who are now both enjoying and engaging well at school. Thank you Reflections...'

~Jess Estcourt

'The best nursery we saw by far and provided excellent care and support for my daughter. The forest school was wonderful and created a love of nature and adventure. Staff delivered personalised support and each nursery worker was superb in their work. The communication from the nursery was effective, timely, and friendly.'

~Daniel Parsonage

'Our son Adam has just left Reflections after three happy years there. The staff are excellent and the nursery is constantly evolving, with room layouts changed to match the children's interests. Forest school is an amazing experience and the weekly photo diaries sent to the parents let you see which tree your child has mastered this week. The nursery building and grounds are huge and well kept. As the price includes three meals a day, two snacks and all nappies, creams etc., we consider it to be great value for money, particularly given the quality of food prepared fresh daily by the onsite chefs. We can't recommend Reflections highly enough ... and often do!'
