YMCA Newport

My son attends the YMCA and has done since he was 1 year old, he’s nearly 3 and still struggles at drop off – needing lots of reassurance and kindness to settle. His key workers in both bumblebees and ladybirds have been instrumental in developing his confidence and to see him thrive and hear him talk
about his key workers so positively has been joyful. I get regular updates through the app they use so I know that even if he’s been tearful at drop off, 5 minutes later he’s happily playing and laughing. The staff are so patient, kind and caring. I cant recommend them enough. The learning and play he achieves at nursery and applies at home is amazing to see, and he only attends one morning a week!

I have both of my children at YMCA Nursery Newport and they have thrived there. They are more than happy to go into nursery, the children are so well cared for. All the staff are so welcoming and my children have built lovely relationships with all of them.

I currently have 2 children at the nursery, one of which has additional health requirements and I can honestly say they have been both supportive and understanding, whilst also providing excellent care. Both my children are absolutely thriving and I truly believe this is down to the fantastic environment
they provide. I feel like they look after them like they were their own and never have any doubts leaving them there.

My little boy has been going to YMCA since he was 9 months old and is now nearly 3. We cannot fault the setting at all, they have been amazing and have made sure my little boy thrives. They do a lot of outdoor play and go on walks to the forest and duck pond. He is now in the ladybird room and all the
girls are fantastic, there is great communication and my boy adores them! Highly recommend this nursery!
