Reviews taken from our previous website:
NAME: Lynne
COMMENT: Our eldest attended Harwood Day Nursery from 6 months old to school age and our youngest is still there. The nursery experience they have each received has been totally different because the staff tailor their care according to the individual child (and my two are very different!!) but we have been consistently delighted with the standard of development and care provided. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.
NAME: Katie Ferguson
COMMENT: My two children go to Harwood Day Nursery and have done full time for over two years. All the staff are fantastic, caring and extremely professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to anyone. Thank you Harwood Day Nursery for taking care of my most prized possessions xxx

COMMENT: Lovely nursery, my little boy has come on so much since starting at this nursery. The girls in the Baby Room are so lovely, I can talk to them with ease. My 2 year old is moving rooms in September, I will miss the baby room but looking forward to his new chapter in his little life. All the staff are lovely, a very homely nursery.
NAME: Kate Settle
COMMENT: When I have heard the word "nursery" a hundred times in the morning, I eventually get there to be greeted by smiley faces, wonderful smells from the kitchen and lots of happy children already up to their knees in sand, having fun. I am happy to leave Ava-Maria with her new friends there and her confidence has grown even in the few weeks she has been there. I knew it would as my 11 year old went there too :) keep up the excellent work ladies and thank you xxx

The meals are freshly made and they provide a great variety. I would highly recommend anyone to come to this nursery.

COMMENT: My son has been going to Harwood Nursery for 6 months and he loves it and the staff there. He always has a fun packed day, like playing in the sandpit, the activity cube outdoors or baking cakes and painting. He also has freshly made meals there, that are prepared by the cook. The staff are lovely and friendly and at the end of each day they go through everything that Charlie has been doing. His speech and learning ability has come on brilliantly since he has been here too. Absolutely fantastic nursery, I would recommend it to any parent.
