Pathfinders Nursery - Day Nursery Rugby

Brilliant nursery with amazing staff who truly develop and nurture your children... When I chose a nursery for my sons the greatest element for me in choosing Pathfinders was that I felt they were both caring for and developing my child, not just baby sitting them for the day. This feeling has certainly been justified as I have seen my boys grow, and the nursery has developed its activities and facilities. As a parent it is tough to leave your child when you go back to work, but knowing my sons are receiving such amazing care in my absence is reassuring, and makes this transition a lot easier. My oldest son has attended Pathfinders since he was 11 months old, and thoroughly enjoys his time there. It is clear how he has developed so positively due to the atmosphere and activities provided by the setting, such as visits to the care home, daily outdoor play in the Bark garden, visits to the Forest School, and most recently the 15 minute mile. The various daily activities provided are always inventive, and help nurture interests and bring new experiences. It’s great to know he is getting access to nature and fresh air, and also play and learning that develop his education and imagination. In particular I think it is invaluable that the nursery support and provide visits to the care home, where recent research on this within the UK has been so positive. The facilities at Pathfinders are very well developed and thought out to provide both a nurturing and exciting setting for the children, and the mix of indoor and outdoor areas give the children a great variety throughout the day. It is amazing for the pre-school class to have the Bark garden, and this is a massive asset. The staff are all very competent and friendly, and build close and supportive relationships with the children, and also parents. I always find their handovers to be enjoyable and informative, and also know that I could approach them any time with any questions or feedback. I enjoy seeing what the boys are up to on the Parent Zone app, and the termly assessments on here are also easy to access and feed back on. This is a truly lovely nursery, and we couldn’t be happier with their care.

My son has been attending Pathfinders for over a year now. As I work in the childcare profession, I am very fussy but I can honestly say that this really is an outstanding nursery. I never have to worry at all about him. Children feel safe and secure and gain so many experiences while they are there. Staff know the children very well and are genuinely interested in putting each child’s well-being first. I am so impressed by how much our son is learning and the rate at which he learns. Wonderful staff team, led by strong managers. I can’t say enough

This is a fantastic nursery with wonderful caring staff and a well organised management. Their focus isn’t just on childcare, but on the well-being and development of every child. They provide a huge range of activities and resources both indoors and out - the bark garden and forest school areas are particular favourites - as well as frequent trips into the local community. Both my children absolutely love their time at this nursery and have learnt so much from being there. Highly recommended!

My daughter has been at Pathfinders Nursery since she was 6 months old, and she loves it! She skips happily through the playground and into nursery every day, which to me is a great endorsement. The staff really are excellent and you can see they genuinely care about the well being and development of the children. The nursery is very well managed and is always striving to improve in any way possible. I would recommend Pathfinders to anyone looking for childcare as I am convinced any child would thrive in the lovely environment they have so carefully created.

An outstanding, small family run nursery! My little boy loves going. The staff are fantastic and I always feel really happy and comfortable leaving my little boy. I know he will always have a great day full of love, care, fun and stimulation. My little boys has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Pathfinders. They do a range of amazing activities including forest school, sing and sign, yoga and trips to the local nursing home and dentist. I would recommend this nursery to all my friends and family. It is such a lovely friendly nursery with a great community feel!
