Nippers Nursery Wetherby Road, Knaresborough HG5 8LG

"My son has attended Nippers for two years and absolutely loves it. He joined in the baby room at 11months settling very quickly into his new routine. He has progressed happily through and his day is jam packed full with a wide range of fun activities. I particularly love the variety of rooms to play in, the dance studio and wet room are favorites. Nippers have a great outside play area with children playing out all year round. My son has a great group of friends and is extremely happy at Nippers we could not have wished for a more caring, educational and fun nursery for him to attend."

"Our daughter Jessica started at Nippers when she was 2 years old. She is now nearly 5 and will be starting school in September. Her past 3 years at Nippers have been filled with fun, enjoyment, learning and laughter. As a parent, it means so much to have trust and faith in those who are caring for your most treasured possession. Although Jessica is excited about starting school, I am sure she will miss not being a little Nipper. She is however going to become a "Nipper Schoolie" using their before and after school Club so she will have the best of both worlds. If you are wondering whether to send your little one to Nippers, I (and Jessica!) would whole heartedly recommend it."

"I love Nippers and more importantly so does Harry. The place is clean and welcoming, the staff are friendly and fantastic at what they do. The activities are second to none and Harry is always well entertained. The food is delicious and sourced locally so you know you're supporting other local business too. All in all you'd be mad not to send your little one to Nippers."

"When we were moving to the area 3.5 years ago we looked around about half a dozen nurseries for our son. When we visited Nippers we just knew it was the one we wanted him to go to and when our second son was born we made sure he had his name down straight away! Almost all of the staff there now were there when our older son first started at Nippers - they all know us, know both our sons, are kind, helpful and we are always made to feel very welcome. The children play outside EVERY day - full waterproofs and wellies for splashy days and snow. There always seems to be a choice of messy play, baking, soft play, role-play craft activities as well as a huge range of lovely toys and preparation for going to school. My little boy is so proud to show us what he has made! The food at Nippers is fantastic! Everything is home-made, locally sourced where possible and delicious! We've been to many social events at Nippers - weekend and after nursery events with the children (Hot Cross Bun Sunday, Bonfire Party, Jubilee party and many more) as well as evening events for the grown ups (Christmas shopping evening, a fantastic Italian evening with a 3 course meal) and lots of 'stay and play' sessions. Both our boys settled into Nippers very quickly, have made some lovely friends and we have too through all the extra events. I cannot recommend Nippers highly enough. Before we moved to the area we thought our son's previous nursery was good. It wasn't a patch on Nippers!"

"I have been using Nippers nursery for over five years for both of my daughters. The nursery has never faltered in its care of my children and others. It allows the children to explore their independence and their growing world in a unique way. It is one of the most creative and inspiring settings I have seen, and there is always something afoot somewhere, be it a play wedding, building a spiders web, or baking. Which brings me on to the food.... the smells coming from the kitchen are truly wonderful, and most days I want to stay for lunch as I smell it being prepared as I drop off. The staff are always fun, supportive and caring towards the kids, energy and enthusiasm always high, and the children feel that. The management team Julie and Carolyn are truly fantastic in terms of their support of the staff, the children and the parents. I have personally been so very supported through a very challenging time, which has helped enormously. Always there to answer questions, help in any way they can. Above and beyond the call of duty many times. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough."
