Guildford Nursery School and Family Centre Hazel Avenue, Guildford GU1 1NR

"My son went to Guildford Nursery/Hazel Avenue for two years. I can't recommend it highly enough. My son flourished physically, mentally and emotionally and has become a confident, creative and an independent kid. Except for the first week when we received exceptional support from the nursery staff for his settling in, he went there happily and cheerfully every day. Every morning, he was met by the kind, and caring staff with a big smile on their faces. He spent time in the nursery experiencing quite a range of activities with plenty of different materials, and enjoyed the spacious garden exploring nature and having the opportunity to play with various toys. Having spent there two happy years, he has already missed Guildford Nursery!"

"A wonderful nursery, a great team, an ideal environment for children. Our daughter will always remember this wonderful time at GNS. During these 2 years she has changed. She is bolder, bolder, and plays with children. And most importantly, her English is so good thanks to attending a Nursery, that she can easily cope with the new school. The ladies did a great job, I will never forget how much patience and heart they gave to my daughter when she was afraid at first to be left without her mother."

"My son started nursery in Jan and the change in him has been incredible. He has responded in an overwhelming posistive way to the Guildford Nursery School environment which has taught him to be more independent and aided him in how to best interact with his peers. He is happiest when he is outside and the nursery encourages the children to make the most of the fantastic outdoor spaces. He comes home everyday with a new story of what he has been up to and as his time there has continued he seems to get more and more out of his days."

"We love that nursery, our both son and daughter went there, the kids were well cared, looked after , the key person Chantal and Joe was very helpful, always passing the information regarding the kids wellbeing. Highly recommended if you are thinking to send you child to this nursery. Best if wishes."

"I can’t recommend this place highly enough for anyone looking for a brilliant nursery for their child. My daughter has just spent two very happy years at York Road Nursery. Every member of staff is kind, friendly and professional, without exception. Like many people, I was nervous about leaving my daughter somewhere new but from day one my fears were alleviated because I could see how much the staff genuinely care for the children and how well looked after they are. I believe it is a real bonus that they are qualified teachers too which has really helped to prepare my daughter for school. There is a big emphasis on spending time outdoors and my daughter absolutely loved her time at forest school. Thank you to everyone at the centre - I know she’ll miss going there every day!"
