“Our experience of Cranston couldn’t have been better. They are such a warm and welcoming team, our son loved his time with them and they really made us feel like part of the family. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough. ”
“During my pregnancy we often passed Cranston nursery during our walks. It was such a lovely area with beautiful wildlife & scenery. We often heard the children playing outdoors with vibrant, happy voices as we passed, and knew that we loved the ethos of the nursery from that point. Our first born always felt safe, content and happy and in return, so did we. The communication and personal touch was so present that we also sent our youngest there too, and have had nothing but a great experience due to their co-operation and commitment to creating a happy, stable environment not just for the children but parents also. The staff have always been consistent and lasting too, which speaks for itself!”
“My daughter attended Cranston from before she turned 2 until she started school. All the staff were professional, kind and nurturing. The home cooked meals, fun activities, trips to the park and quality interactions make it a fantastic place. I'd highly recommend Cranston to any family. ”
“Cranston country nursery has been excellent with both of our girls. It’s daunting leaving your children somewhere new for the first time but our girls have both been settled from the very start which I truly attribute to the lovely, caring staff who I know take such good care of them. The team take time to get to know your routines and preferences and are always happy to give you an update throughout the day if you want to check on your wee one. You can tell how experienced the teams in each room are and they really get to know your children and are with you through every stage of their early development, cheering them on and celebrating their wins from first steps to potty training and writing their name. Our girls have learnt so much at nursery and have so much fun with all of their friends. We really love that meals were cooked on site and the setting with farm animals next door - we are so pleased we chose to send our girls to Cranston. ”
“Our three children love Cranston. From the beginning,the staff go out of their way to make a baby / child’s first few days and weeks as smooth as possible. Throughout the whole nursery, the activities and learning tasks are carefully planned to follow the children’s interests and to meet their needs. The staff are friendly and you get the sense they know the children very well. The reporting is very thorough, with both written and verbal daily updates, regular individual observations and occasional open evenings. It’s a big nursery with a great mix of kids and a very happy buzz.”
