Ridgemount Cottage Nursery School, Gloucester | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I cannot speak highly enough about Ridgemount nursery! The staff at the nursery are exceptional, as they are genuinely caring and nurturing. They have created a warm and loving environment that has helped my son thrive and grow.
The meals provided at the nursery are fantastic! I know that my son is receiving nutritious, well-balanced meals. I do believe they go above and beyond to ensure that the children are well-fed and enjoy their meals.
One of the things I love most is the emphasis on outdoor activities. Even having chickens and a full garden for planting vegetables is amazing for the kids.The nursery encourages physical activity and exploration, which I think is essential for a child’s development. The best bit is they go out in all weather!
I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent. The staff, meals, and outdoor activities are all top-notch, and I couldn’t be happier with my son’s experiences there.
Thank you to the entire team!

Our 2 year old has been with Ridgemount since around October ’23 and we couldn’t be happier with the team and how she is progressing with them. Her development has come on leap and bounds and she comes home loving each and every day. The team are fantastic and are always up for a chat. Very welcoming and not surprised my daughter enjoys herself.

We have had one child go through this nursery and now started school, with a second started last year. The staff are brilliant with children and parents and always remember names, are welcoming, friendly and helpful. They continue to invest and develop the setting to always improve and move forward. The managers and owners are always available if needed. We’ve been really happy with their approach to learning and development of children. Any problems or queries are dealt with quickly. My eldest was more than ready to start school when he left, having all the resources he needed to get going at primary school. And loved the chickens especially!!

The nursery is a paradise for little adventurers, with a sprawling outdoor play area that beckons children to explore and discover. From climbing structures and sandboxes to gardening activities, every corner of the outdoor space is designed to spark curiosity and encourage active play. The fresh air and sunshine provide the perfect backdrop for children to run, jump, and play to their heart’s content, fostering a love for the great outdoors from an early age. Parents can rest assured knowing that their little ones are not only having fun but also developing important physical and social skills in a safe and stimulating environment. The true magic of this nursery lies in its dedicated and compassionate staff members of staff. From the moment you step through the doors, you are greeted by smiling faces and caring hearts that make you feel like part of a big family. The staff’s genuine love for children is evident in the way they interact with each little one.

My daughter has been at Ridgemount since she was 10 months old and will be there until she starts school this September. Our experience has been overall very good. Staff are lovely and are very caring and good teachers. The added benefits of the setting are the Forest school and Yoga. It is also a lovely community setting with events which helps parents get to know each other.
