Both my children have attended Cranleigh Lodge Day Nursery and I have been so impressed with the care they provide. What stands out is how they assess and treat each child individually rather than one size fits all, and they are helping my son build his confidence and gross motor skills (bit of a late developer!) in readiness for starting school in September. I would recommend to anyone who wants that little bit extra from a nursery/preschool.

My son started with Cranleigh Lodge Day Nursery at the beginning of February and I have been so incredibly happy with the nursery as a whole. The staff have been welcoming, kind and reassuring. I was apprehensive about my son starting as he spent the first year of his life without spending much time away from me but the team made everything so easy. They came up with a settling plan to suit our individual needs and were fantastic at welcoming my son into the nursery as well as keeping me in the loop and reassuring me of how he was doing. I cannot thank them enough for making what was a difficult transition for us both, super positive!

My daughter has thrived at nursery. I sent her younger than planned as I was worried about her lack of interaction with others during lockdowns. She has a smile on her face every day when I collect her and eats such a varied diet that I know she is getting the fuel she needs for her development.

My son has been attending Cranleigh Lodge Day Nursery since he was 1.5-years-old and the staff have been fantastic with him throughout all three rooms (baby to pre-school) he has attended! They have been very adaptive with him and worked with us in-depth to overcome some issues we have with his speech and eating habits, he happily skips in and I feel very comfortable that he is loved and cared for there as I would at home.

Our daughter received a warm welcome at Cranleigh Lodge when she started at 6 months old. For me, the best thing about Cranleigh Lodge is that it feels like all the staff really care about the children. Every one of them knows our daughter’s name, even the ones that look after the older children instead, and it feels like the staff are part of one big family. They send us photo updates every day with a description of what activities the babies have been focusing on that day. They provide useful updates on an app with details of food eaten, nappy changes, and when/how long she’s napped, which is really helpful. We’ve had nothing but positive experiences with Cranleigh Lodge and would certainly recommend them!

We feel very lucky that we found Cranleigh Lodge and can’t recommend them highly enough. The staff always go above and beyond, and genuinely really care about the children and families in their care. Our daughter absolutely loves nursery. She does so many varied activities, which she can’t wait to excitedly tell us about at the end of every day. We also love that we see photo updates throughout the day. We are really happy that we chose this nursery.
