Adventure Valley Day Nursery & Pre-School - Durham

Samantha Arkless

Brilliant nursery, wonderful staff. Amenities they have available and being able to use adventure valley facilities on a daily basis with the children massive bonus. My son has attended since he was a baby and has always enjoyed his experience and time at nursery and my youngest son will be starting here too next year. Staff are so helpful and always there if you need anything. 5*

My daughter started at this nursery back in September and absolutely loves it. She gets so excited pulling up to the door and always has a great time. Loves her trips to the farm and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Would recommend here to everyone

I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. The staff are all lovely and ease any worries you have about your little ones. They’re amazing with the kids and my little boy LOVES coming here and getting to see the animals at the farm regularly. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

My son started adventure Valley nursery in January 2022 and I can honestly say he has developed so much more in the past 4 months. He goes full time and he gets so many experiences from messy play to feeding the animals at the farm. The care that the staff give him is second to none they are so lovely with him and is always happy to go in with no issues. His key worker is fantastic too she goes above and beyond to make sure he is happy and settled. I have no worries dropping him off as I know he's in good hands and they communicate with me so well especially with observations and showing off what he's been up to

My nephew absolutely loves going to nursery! Since being raised in lockdown with no social experience, starting nursery was the first time he had been around other children or adults, and he is growing in confidence each week and always comes home talking about all of his friends, and telling us all about his day.
Each week he comes home singing and dancing to new songs and we’re watching his language and social skills develop more and more. He loves that he can visit the soft play and feed the animals at adventure valley throughout his day!

Our son has been at this nursery since it opened a few years ago and we have seen it grow from just a handful of kids to the finished article it is today.
The staff there are friendly and seem to genuinely care about my child's wellbeing.
I usually ask the staff at pick up time what sort of day he's had and they have always been able to give me a detailed account of how well he's eaten and the activities he's done that day.
The kids often go to the farm nextdoor and enjoy tractor rides etc which is a very unique learning experience they get at no additional cost to the parents.
There is a large astro turfed garden with all sorts of toys outside and inside there is different areas for all the reading and arts and crafts activities they do.
He has come on very well since he started there and I can honestly recommend this nursery.

My son went Adventure Valley Nursery for a few months. Before he started nursery he was so chatty and happy boy. But he became grumpy and quiet gradually after starting nursery. He became addicted to sucking his thumb too. He was so upset dropping time.

Also couple of times I found my child sitting on the table with an empty plate while other full time kids were having ‘early’ lunch. When I complained they said I have to pay £3. Firstly no one informed me until I made a complaint, secondly they should have lunch on lunch time not 15-20 mins earlier.

Anyway my son now in another nursery and his behaviors completely changed. He is telling me every day that “ he danced, played, did painting, made pancakes, went to the garden, discovered something etc.”
We are glad that we made this decision.
