Both my children attended Springlands Nursery and they have lots of fond memories. They still like to visit the nursery and it is nice to see the same staff still working there.

As a parent I was given lots of support and felt part of the Springlands family.

I would say that Springlands is the best day nursery in Colchester. Before my son started Springlands he couldn't feed himself and his speech was limited. Springlands has given him the best start in life & I would recommend them to anyone, they are the best, friendly and always helpful if you have any concerns.

Springlands has become part of our lives. Both my daughters attended the nursery when they were babies, they are now 15 and 17 years old. They both still visit Springlands and have attended the Babysitting course run by the nursery. Both the girls and myself have very fond memories and I am sure Springlands will still be apart of our family for a very long time.

This morning my son was welcomed by a huge smile from a member of staff he loved, this genuine greeting made him feel part of the nursery family. This is what my eldest son experienced when he attended too, and as a parent I find this very reassuring. Springlands offered my son interesting and exciting activates and opportunities. He loved feeding the nursery chickens, feeling the millipedes crawl across his hands, followed by a big brown bear to cuddle at home. He also learnt many humorous songs complete with actions. We also recently received an accurate review which expressed knowledge about our son’s abilities, which also gave us ideas to support his learning at home. I have every faith with the caring hands I leave my son with.

Many Thanks again
