Dysart Nursery

My son has been going to the nursery for the last 5 months and in the beginning, he was very attached to us and would bring the world down when we dropped him off. The staff were kind and understanding, they worked with us and have managed to get him settled in very well. Keep up the good work guys..

My son has been at Dysart Nursery for 2 years now and my daughter is about to start. I chose this nursery as it is nice and small with a lovely family atmosphere. All the staff are kind and friendly and look after the children well. Much nicer than the larger nursery's.

I came here with my daughter to look at a 'warm and loving' environment for my grandson who is due in April. But instead I found a horrid nursery. as soon as we knocked on the door we had to wait ten minutes, which we thought was normal at first until a woman came out on the phone and stared at us as if to say 'what do you want'. She didn't say anything until we asked about our appointment which she didn't even check to see if we already had one or not, we did, but what if we didn't? She should have known if we had one anyway because it is her responsibility. We walked into the nursery and the first thing myself and my daughter spotted was a piece of plastic on the torn up garden, yes the garden was also a huge mess and covered in dirt it was a state! I picked up the plastic and handed it to the same woman who answered the door for us and handed it to her, all she said was 'thank you' as though I were handing her a present and threw it away. When we walked through into the area for babies, I looked up and noticed their were enormous cobwebs all over the ceiling and the lights. We then headed into the baby area and saw they had all been put down on the floor or in their rocking chairs, another woman explained to my daughter after they eat they have to sleep. But they were all being forced to sleep because they were being faced towards walls so they were bored enough to go off, my daughter was then taken over to a corner where she said she spotted to infant girls being shoved in the corner in their rocking chairs made to sleep facing away from everyone which I found horrid. What if they did not want to sleep? The atmosphere was uncomfortable because of how zombified all the children seemed to be, as though they had the life sucked out of them. Another woman told us that there actually was a sleeping area for the babies upstairs but did not offer my daughter the chance to go up and look around, we had even passed a toddler area and didn't have the chance to look in their either as they seemed to want to rush us back out straight away. The only thing we looked at was the baby area and then my daughter had the leaflet shoved in her hands and was told about the 100 pound deposit without much explanation of anything whatsoever, the woman who showed us around seemed young and thrown in the deep end as if none of them were expecting us when we made a clear appointment for 2:00pm. I suggest you NOT bring your child here, it is disgusting, dirty, there are many safety hazards and too many steps and bumps in the pavements for children to walk around safely. You could do something a lot better with your money and the reason why this place is still running, I have no clue. This is someone inexperienced who has bought a house and made it into a nursery, they do not care or know much about what they are doing I would never bring my children here, ever. They were very unprofessional, inexperienced and I wouldn't even board my dog there. The people who bring their children here and are okay with these circumstances shock myself and my daughter, they must either be really desperate or they do not care.

My son has attended this amazing nursery for the past 2 years. His development has been outstanding and the staff has been so supportive and passionate about his developmental progress. The nursery has just undergone a refit so I can only imagine that is what the negative woman below was bleating on about. Whenever you enter the day centre the children are so happy, that is clear to see. Now, with all the new additional features in the nursery there is so much to do. The staff are such warm, friendly individuals I never had any doubt about this nursery or looked anywhere else after my first visit. Thank you Dysart xx

I`m very pleased with the service that Dysart nursery offers to my family. The manager Samia Mcminn & staff are very helpful, friendly and supportive. They`ve always been happy to answer all my questions, book additional sessions and do changes in schedule. All my three children have settled down really quick and are happy to attend every session. In my opinion this is the best little nursery in local area where kids entertain, socialize and prepare themselves for school. I`ve recommended it to my friends and they find it a good place for their children as well.
