Day Nurseries Owned by My Ohana in Gloucestershire

How many nurseries build such enduring bonds with kids that they hold a reunion and 9 year-olds beg to visit? My Ohana is THAT nursery! We've just wrapped up a combined 7 years here. The nursery is all you'd expect and more. Normal days are planned with age-appropriate activities developing independence, social and emotional skills, and school readiness (for older kids). They know the kids so well, so can plan activities around their interests (one day they planned a treasure hunt, as our youngest likes finding "shiny" things!). Parents are kept well informed in person and via an app. Beyond the everyday, there's always extras - baking, summer pool parties, seasonal crafts, local outings (to a library, farm, care home, park). There's forest school, sport-based activities, yoga! But most importantly, you know your child will have all the love, care and attention you could wish for. There were tears on our last day (all round!) and that's a testament to how much you will feel like family here.

I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. My son has been at My Ohana Cheltenham for 4 years, since he was just 6 months old, and has always been so happy, well cared for and excited to go in. The staff are incredibly caring, supportive and approachable, and I've always felt confident knowing he was in safe hands.

The nursery provides a fantastic range of activities and experiences, from baking and crafts to trips out, riding ponies and hatching eggs. My son has learned so much, made lots of lovely friends and grown in confidence during his time there. I'm so sad to say goodbye, but feel incredibly grateful for the wonderful start the nursery has given him.

My husband and I recently attended our son's graduation ceremony and we were both very impressed by the effort that had gone into it and how happy and confident all the children seemed. We are so proud of all that our son has achieved at the nursery over the years, and the wonderful staff have been faultless. It is clear that they care very deeply for each child that joins and the nursery really does have a 'family' feel to it. Feeling emotional that his time at the nursery has come to an end!

I cannot begin to express the love I have for the my ohana cheltenham. They have looked after my grandsons so well, the boys have loved their time there and speak so affectionately of their carers. They have given the boys confidence and taught them so much. A special shout out to Candice, julie and Jess. All are brilliant, but these three have gone above and beyond for the boys and helped me and their mum. They feel like family with their warmth, care and practical advice. Will definitely miss you. xx

We've had a very good experience with our daughter attending My Ohana. The staff are friendly and welcoming and have always go the extra mile. Our daughter loves going to nursery!

We wouldn't hesitate to ever recommend this nursery and would like to thank the staff for always being so great with our daughter!

My son has attended My Ohana (Chelt) since just before he turned one and it's been such an amazing place for him!

He's made so many little friends there that we see outside of nursery, the staff have always treated us so well and I'm quite sad to see him leave for school, but this particular nursery has helped make him the funny little guy he is today, and I can't thank them enough for all their hard work over the years!

Also big thank you to JuJu for allowing the kids to have a day out riding your pony, this was such an incredible experience and I love that you guys do these things for them!

Thank you again for being such an amazing nursery and making such a difference to my son. (E and M)

All staff and friendly, kind and supportive especially as my son is just coming out of nappies they have been very supportive and encouraging! 5* here :D

The staff at My Ohana Gloucester are very caring and receptive. My child has really thrive since joining the nursery. The management team is also very responsive. I will definitely recommend the nursery.

Today I attended 'Grandparents Day' - what a lovely idea and what a lovely place. I had not been before and was made so welcome. All the staff took the time to come and talk to me. All the children played well together and respected each other sharing the equipment and games. Well done team.

Friendly supportive staff. Our child is thriving and enjoys being in the learning environment. We feel confident leaving our child in their care and look forward to seeing and hearing all about the activities and engagement they have had .

This nursery is truly amazing! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care, love, and dedication that goes into everything they do. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, always making both children and parents feel welcome and supported. The environment is clean, safe, and beautifully set up to encourage learning, creativity, and confidence. My child has grown so much socially and emotionally since attending, and it's clear they genuinely enjoy being there every day. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough-it's a wonderful place where children truly thrive.

The staff here have been consistently lovely with our girls. Loads of great communication. The girls adore the nursery. They have been wonderful at encouraging the girls to grow and develop. We'd recommend it to anyone.

I honestly couldn't be happier with this nursery both my sons have gone here and they have all ways gone above and beyond my oldest son still loves to visit and see his favourite lady candy picking a flower on the way and my other son has a few behaviour issues and they have helped leaps and bounds with Jess as his key worker and she really is fantastic couldn't have asked for a better key worker for him and his needs i really will genuinely miss having conversations with all the girls Sam becki Julie candy and Jess Taylor and all the others I haven't mentioned honestly not a single one of them have i ever not just felt complete enjoyment communicating with and so glad they are helping shape my children this really is an amazing nursery they really give that home vibe that makes it so much easier to trust your children with them it can be a hard thing to let go and trust a complete stranger with your children for long periods of the day but they really are amazing every single one

My child is always happy here. The staff are great. I love that you get updates regarding pictures of what your child has been doing during the week. I would recommend this nursery. It always looks clean.

I am so happy with the day nursery, returning back to work was a worry for me but the team made it so easy. The app makes checking in on my little one so stress free. Following with her meals and handing over any issues or just a morning handover. I love it

We are very happy with our experience at this nursery. In just two months in the baby room, we've seen such wonderful progress in our child's confidence and social skills. The team is amazing-caring, supportive, and always keeping us updated throughout the day about how our little one is doing. Our baby enjoys attending, especially spending time in the garden, playing, and learning new things. It's been so reassuring to see how much he enjoys being there.

We love MyOhana. Very friendly, professional and caring staff. It's a positive environment that helps my son to grow up as a happy boy. They are always there if we have any questions, if we need any advice. Very patient and amazingly helpful. We couldn't imagine better place for our son. Thank you to all Gloucester team.

My son has been going to nursery since May 2025. It's fair to say I was nervous and apprehensive about my little one going to nursery but from the outset the staff have been outstanding. I have found them to be really kind, caring, polite and professional. They offered lots of reassurances and the communication has been fantastic. It's lovely to get the updates of what he has been doing along with pictures. My little one has settled in really well, he is happy when I drop him off and am always greeted with a smile when picking him up. The staff take the time and care to give updates on what my son has been up to on a daily basis. I can't speak highly enough of the nursery and the staff, they truly are fantastic

Great team, very child-centric. Largely the same team for both our children. Forest school/ mini bus to park and water play, all about kids learning and having fun. Graduation was a great way to end nursery and get ready for big school.

We have just attended the graduation ceremony for this year's leavers which was wonderful. So much care and effort had been put into it and our daughter happily sang in front of all the parents, something we could never have predicted she'd do. She's been at My Ohana Cheltenham since she was around a year old and we couldn't be happier with the setting and the staff. She is very ready for school and is excited about the transition, which shows how incredible the nursery staff have been in preparing her and growing her confidence.
