Day Nurseries Owned by Bristol Childcare Ltd

All three of our girls attended Mornington House covering a period from March 2020 until August 2026. We would definitely recommend it to other families. There is a stable, caring, nurturing core staff team which ensures that children can settle and feel safe and cared for. All our girls loved Louise's food and would eat everything she cooked! The staff at Mornington have often gone over and above what could be expected to provide excellent care to our children, including throwing our eldest a birthday party when covid restrictions meant this was impossible elsewhere, taking them on trips to further their interests, and making home visits to ensure they felt safe and secure (when this was tricky). We also greatly appreciated the flexible approach to funding hours which meant we paid a lot less than many other nurseries and only had childcare for the hours we actually needed it. Thank you Mornington (we miss you all)!

I am really happy with this nursery. The staff are very kind, caring and welcoming, and they always make her feel comfortable and happy. I have noticed a lovely difference in Talya since she started. She has become more confident, independent and excited about learning and joining in with activities. The teachers, Muna, Victoria and Lois, are very supportive and always keep us updated on how she is doing. I really appreciate all the care, effort and support the nursery gives her. A big thank you to Justine and the whole team for everything they do. We really appreciate all your hard work and dedication. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

My 4 daughter has just left Mornington House to start school. She has attended the nursery since she was one. I have been extremely pleased with the care she has received throughout her time there. The nursery is so homely and welcoming and she has formed lovely bonds with the staff in all rooms. They have all shown her such care and attention, and captured her imagination throughout with carefully thought out age-appropriate activities. My daughter has always been excited to go, clearly enjoyed her time there and she has frequently told us how nice the food is! I would highly recommend Mornington House.

Would thoroughly recommend The Priory. Our daughter started at 11months and settled almost instantly. She is so excited to go in the mornings and loves all the activities and food. All the staff are so friendly, experienced and attentive and even those who aren't in her room know her well. We will miss it very much! Thank you for your exceptional care!

Our son has attended Mornington house since early 2023, he will be soon leaving to attend school. Throughout the baby room, two's room and more recently the pre school room we have been very pleased with the level of care provided. All staff are friendly and take a genuine interest our sons wellbeing and progression. Particular thank you to pre school room leader Sally who has paid great attention to recognising our sons strengths and areas for development, she puts in the appropriate measures accordingly to try help him reach his full potential. She leads the room with gentle authority but remains a safe space for children. We very much hope to receive the same care over the years for our daughter who has recently started attending the nursery too. The choice of daily freshly cooked food is also a great addition.

Cannot recommend this home from home nursery enough. My youngest has just finished pre school, having been there since a baby. For me the biggest tell of a good nursery is whether the staff are happy and enjoy their jobs and this is so apparent at Mornington. So many of the staff have been there for 10 years +! I have to give a special shout out to Diane who works tirelessly and Sally who heads up the pre school room and is one of the most dedicated nursery workers I've come across. Thank you Mornington for giving both my girls the best 3-4 years, we are so grateful and lucky to have found you!

My daughter attended the nursery from 2 years old and quickly settled in. Over the following 2 years the staff patiently helped her grow into a confident 4 year old ready for big school. We want to commend the patience and dedication of many of the staff including Muna, Lois, Victoria and others. Thanks

My son joined Court House nursery in early 2023 at 11 months old. The staff were warm and welcoming and helped ease a difficult period of separation between baby and family. Our son is now due to graduate and go to school. I cannot praise the nursery enough for building and maintaining a nurturing, caring and positive environment. My son has loved going to nursery and they put a lot of effort into planning activities and trips and he is always coming home with something he has proudly made. He is also a very confident little boy and the nursery staff have encouraged him to shine. It is also clear to me the staff thoroughly enjoy their roles and some have been there for a long time which is very positive. I wouldn't hesitate to (and have) recommend this fantastic nursery to friends.

Every member of staff genuinely cares, and our daughter absolutely loves attending nursery. She has built wonderful relationships and looks forward to going every day, which gives us complete peace of mind. The trust we have in the team is why our second daughter will also be starting here later this year. We wouldn't consider anywhere else.

We are so happy with my son's Nursery. The staff are kind, caring, and dedicated, and they create a safe, welcoming environment where children can learn and grow. My son has become more confident, social, and excited to go to nursery every day. The activities are engaging and educational, and it's clear that the team genuinely cares about each child's development. Thank you to everyone at my sons Nursery for all your hard work and support. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and professional place for their child.

Really pleased for choosing the Priory Nursery

Our daughter started at Mornington House earlier this year, aged 12 months old. We have had such a positive experience of the nursery - it is a small team who are consistently so caring, kind and supportive. The settling in process was brilliant; it was very much tailored to what was right for our daughter, encouraging her to build familiarity and trust with the team. As parents, we also feel immense trust, gratitude and respect for the team. It is such a joy and relief to know our daughter is happy and being so well cared for at nursery. I could not rate the nursery more highly.

My daughter started at the Court House in June 2025. The staff were amazing and professional from the word go and I immediately knew this was the place for her. Since then, her development has gone from strength to strength, the team are so kind and lovely with the children and I can see her social, emotional and cognitive skills coming on leaps and bounds.

We've even successfully potty trained her now thanks to the support of the staff there who have all received high quality training on how to approach this somewhat tricky area. She's only 2 and a bit! I never imagined this would happen so soon for us, but with the encouragement of the staff and watching the other children, it was so much smoother than it would have otherwise been.

I am also impressed with other, seemingly small, changes in her, such as her willingness to try new foods and even her fine motor skills with eating her own meals without needing help from us. The food at this nursery is also so good!

Our little one has recently started at the Court House and it's been nothing but a wonderful .experience for us all. Firstly, we were so impressed with the settling in process - the baby room team were incredibly welcoming, reassuring and put us all at ease. We had lots of settling in sessions in the month leading up to his start date, each gradually building in duration, so that when our little one started on his first day we were all super comfortable and happy to see him go in.

From hearing the experiences of other little ones starting nursery elsewhere, I truly feel like the Court House is head and shoulders above other providers. They have gone above and beyond in making that big first step, for us all as a family, as easy and enjoyable as possible. Our son absolutely loves nursery and has settled brilliantly - a testament to the incredible baby room team. Thank you so much, it means the world to us to see him so happy and thriving at nursery!

Thank you all so much

Our son loves going to this nursery. They have a lovely homely environment and he loves playing in their garden. He enjoys their lunches and often eats far more at nursery than he does at home! The staff are all so kind and patient with our son and he loves to give them all a cuddle when he arrives in the morning. We love that the nursery allows you to pay by the hour, every little helps when looking for potential childcare options!

My little one had an emotional time settling in, which took quite a few weeks. The staff and the manager were very understanding and caring for her, especially during this period, enabling her to eventually feel comfortable and she is now thriving at the nursery! They also welcomed telephone during the day to have a quick check on the child which is incredibly reassuring.

Our son has been here since he was 10 months old and we have counted our lucky stars we found Mornington Nursery. They are so caring, welcoming and warm and I can't fault anything in the 2 years our son has been there. The staff retention is incredible which just goes to show and management and the whole team are just so welcoming and kind they make you feel like family! Our son has his ups and downs, especially with drop-offs, and the whole team give us such reassurance he is ok and after a few minutes is happily playing, he is never a burden and by the time it is picked up, he doesn't want to leave! He has made great friends and we are looking forward to pre-school. Thank you Mornington!

I couldn't recommend them enough!

The Priory Day Nursery has been amazing, supporting my young family as a working Mum. I can't thank them enough for the fast language development for my two-year-old Son, and the staff are amazing! Thank you for your ongoing support.
