Garforth Day Nursery Ltd

I don’t know where to start! My son has been coming here since the age of 6 months, he graduated today, ready for reception. The baby room was amazing, they took care of my son through covid times and helped ease my worries and anxiety as a new mum and ensured they helped keep my breast feeding journey going for as long as possible despite him being there full time whilst I worked. They supported my son when he was poorly and needed an operation and always kept me informed and was so respectful of how I wanted him to be taken care of and respected and really adhered to his dietary and healthcare needs. The bees room were incredible, when I say every worker/ key worker my son has had has shown genuine love towards him, I mean it. They treated Eesa as good as their own. The same applies in the baby room. The bees room kept him so happy and embraced his love for dancing and music and showed so much love and so much care and helped him transition to pre school room so effortlessly and reassured me so much. The pre school room were incredible for getting my son ready for school, they showed him photos of his school and cloak room and played games with the children to get them ready for school. They helped him progress so amazingly well with his math and literacy and have given him an amazing head start for school. They even have a special sports teacher and take them out on amazing walks. They have visits from the ice cream van every year, a visit from the petting zoo and library and so much more! They are so respectful and embrace all cultures and religions and have been incredible in every single way. I cannot fault this nursery it was the best decision I made for my son. It became his home away from home. The management team are so helpful and so kind and promote healthy wellbeing and relaxation and my son loved this, he even asks me for spa music when he wants to relax! He loves music and he loves dancing and they embraced this to the fullest. They hold talent shows at the end of every school day and my son absolutely loves it. They listen to all his concerns and helped him through any worries and were amazing in supporting his potty training journey. They held a beautiful graduation ceremony and every key work showed genuine love and compassion towards their children. The staff are a credit to this place. Thank you so so so so much.

Awful experience with this nursery even before my son was actually due to start. ‘Director’ of nursery is extremely rude, stand off ish & arrogant. Director initially rang me before my son came in for a tour with a run down of availability to start. I did my tour a few days later and was extremely overwhelmed & concerned about where my son would be placed. There were 20 children in the room with not much control from staff, unhappy children & seemed quite chaotic lacking any form of structure. After my tour the lady who showed me round told me to withhold filling out any forms IF I was interested as I had to wait for another call from the director to once again - confirm availability . I’ve just had a call with this said director who couldn’t provide any structural routine for my son & basically said his days at the nursery would change every week / every other week. I raised several concerns to the director about my experience & how I felt about the environment & said info I’ve stated above. To which no interest was really shown from her in regards to any of it & again, was very rude stand off ish & was not interested in anything I had to say. They’ve never asked about my son haven’t tried to get to know him & generally it has all been about them. I’m writing about my experience as I can now compare this with other nurseries I’ve looked at - and have had completely different experiences all positive - compared to this nursery / I don’t believe their interest is focoused on each child & really do feel children would not reach their full potential at this nursery as it’s just not ran the correct way in regards to each child been there individually . As for the director - a real hard faced personality & extremely rude. If your considering enrolling your children at this nursery please think twice & consider the information provided as it’s all factual & correct & I really would not want anyone to have an experience like mine for them or more importantly their children .

My daughter absolutely loves her time at Garforth day nursery , I always feel at ease dropping her off because I know she is being really well looked after by the Amazing friendly staff. Also the facilities are fab and she has such fun there.

Our now 5 year old attended this nursery for almost 3 years, she absolutely loved it. Was always happy to go, the staff were very pleasant and my daugther loved them. They did loads of activities and I was always kept up to date with what they had been doing. Would highly recommend.
