My Favourite Nursery

[Helen Pravda]

I would be really interested in hearing from anyone who has a child at My Favourite Nursery as to how they are finding it as I am thinking of sending my son there but know very little about it

I too would welcome some thoughts re this nursery as I am going to see them tomorrow. Helen, did you visit them? What were your thoughts?

My daughter has been attending MFN since mid January and has settled in very well. The nursery carers are all very

Friendly and attentive and seem to have a lot of enthusiasm with regards to the children and there development.

The setting of the nursery is also very nice, with big open rooms, lots of light and all new toys. My only concern at the moment is that there are not enough children of her age to interact or stimulate her (22 months) There are a lot of babies there 9months+.

How old are your children?

My son is also at MFN (18.5 months) and we've had a very positive experience. I agree with tlw, we also wish there were a few more kids around this age for stimulation etc (tlw - our children must know each other pretty well!). They told us more will be starting as Spring approaches so we look forward to that. Being so new, the rooms weren't very full when we went for the viewing back in January and I wasn't sure about this at first, but as time goes on a lovely atmosphere is developing.

The staff have been wonderful. They are very nuturing, and all of them know each children's quirks/likes/needs. When we couldn't start the week we were meant to due to illness, the nursery called each day just to see how he was. They seem very keen to take on board parent's thoughts and concerns too. At one point I casually mentioned that I didn't think the children were taken outside very much. The very next day (and frequently since) they were taken out and had a wonderful afternoon on the slides, etc. I was also assured that this was just due to so many new children arriving and having their settling in periods - which I now completely understand.

Feel free to PM me if needed.
