What the parents say...
“Goulton
Grange has been a home from home for my daughter. It has a caring, friendly and
relaxed atmosphere. The staff have encouraged her social skills and self
confidence. She loves her daily walk and enjoys looking at all the animals!”
“I just knew this would be a wonderful place for my little girl the moment I set foot in the Nursery. There is a wonderfully supportive and caring atmosphere at Goulton Grange and whenever I drop her off, the staff really take the time to get to know you, making the difficult task of leaving your child much easier to handle. The physical space is second to none, with appropriate resources for a highly stimulation environment in which to immerse the children. All the staff are very warm and caring individuals and I know that my daughter is not only safe and cared for but loved too! What more could a mother want? Sending my child to Nursery is one of the hardest decisions I had to make, but I know I did the right thing when I chose Goulton Grange.”
“Both my children have been with Goulton Grange since they were four months old and have had the most amazing time at nursery. They have learnt so much, made so many friends, been well looked after and have had such a lovely time with you.
I would recommend
Goulton Grange Nursery to anybody that asks me where the children have been. I
think that being flexible with parents is absolutely vital and would hope that
you would never lose that flexibility – this is one of your greatest attributes,
that and the family feel makes the nursery second to none.”
“It is
never easy having to leave a child in the care of someone else, but this was
made harder for us as our daughter is our first child. When we met Marian and
Emily for the first time and saw the Nursery set-up, any concerns we had
immediately disappeared. It was clear that we were not just leaving our daughter
at a Nursery, but a loving and caring environment that was home from home. Long
may it continue!!”
“My
son has attended Goulton Grange for over two years. He is very settled and
really enjoys his days at Nursery. Marian, Emily and all their staff have
created a friendly, happy and caring environment where he feels secure and
confident. The creative learning and development he receives is strengthened by
the “just like at home” family feeling that is always evident at the Nursery.”
“Putting
my children in nursery was one of the hardest decisions I have had to make. At
12 months old, the happiness, development and safety of my triplets was
paramount and maintaining a routine was critical.
Goulton Grange stood out from the many other nurseries that I visited. Their passion for children and the working ethos, together with outstanding facilities and a beautiful countryside setting, set them apart. Marian & Emily Cornforth have an unrivalled approach to child care which allows the children to interact at all levels. They promote a relaxed and fun environment where children learn because they want to rather than because they are pushed. The personal contact with the parents is also second to none – I have always felt that I can contact Marian or Emily at anytime to discuss my children’s development.
My three girls are now 2 ½ and have impeccable manners, great social skills and are advanced in their learning. They adore attending nursery and I find it an absolute pleasure taking them to Goulton Grange. I have already booked a place for my next baby, due in June, confident in the knowledge that it will be loved and cared for as it would be at home.
Marian’s ten children are testimony to her childcare approach and skills – they are possibly the most closely knit family that I have ever met. Her own children are a real credit to her and something to be very proud of.”
