Mopsy Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Hi, just wanted to get some opinions on Beech Hill Nursery in Broomhill. Thinking of putting my baby there at 4 months for a day or two a week and wanted some feedback from parents who have babies or kids there on the quality of the nursery. Also any tips on other nurseries local to Crookes/Broomhill would be great. Thanks!
claire70 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Friends kids go to Beech Hill and are happy with it. Ours go to creative kids nursery on Broomgrove road by king teds swimming pool and would recommend that. Lovely garden and soft play centre. Its quite a small nursery so not too noisy and boisterous,. Best thing to do is go and look round a couple and get a feel for them as its a very personal choice.
bluecanary Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Our son (nearly 2) is in Sunshine Day Nursery at the bottom end of Beech Hill Road, and is very happy there. It's NHS owned, but open to all. If you're looking for nurseries in the area, definitely go and have a look.
Mopsy Posted November 3, 2011 Author Posted November 3, 2011 Thanks! Will certainly go and have a look!
wayeye Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I've done volunteer work at Beech Hill and would avoid it like the plague, it's an awful place! Had good experiences at The Old School House on Endcliffe Rise Road, Children 1st @ breedon house (very good baby room) and sunshine day Nursery on beech hill road.
Toni1001 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I had my little boy at Beech hill and while I can not fault the ladies in the baby room my overall experience was not good.
nelly_d Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 wayeye and Toni, could you say a bit more about what is bad about it? I really liked it on my first visit and I'm going back next week so I'd like to know what to look out for. You can message me if you'd rather not say in public.
Moosey Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 My friend sent both his children there (my daughter is at Fairmount across the road-ish), and his kids both loved Beech Hill. He doesn't have a bad word to say about it.
nelly_d Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks Moosey that's good to know. Fairmount is another one we're considering, what's it like there?
Moosey Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks Moosey that's good to know. Fairmount is another one we're considering, what's it like there? Fantastic. My little girl seems really happy there - all smiles when we arrive, and when we pick her up. She's coming on really well too - they clearly put time in with them. I can't fault them. I'd definitely recommend having a look round there. Check out the OFSTED reports too. (If you happen to work for the NHS by the way, I know Fairmount have a discount scheme. Perhaps the others do too.)
