Day Nurseries Owned by Bright Stars Nursery Group Ltd in Dorset

We've been very happy with our experience at Ashley Cross.

We only moved to another branch for location reasons. I can't speak highly enough of Three Gables Westbourne.

My son (9 months+) going to Three Gables has been a joy throughout. The staff are so friendly and kind, he reaches for them at the door with absolutely no issues. The updates from the team at the end of the day are detailed and supportive. His development has come on hugely since joining too, I would have absolutely no concerns recommending this nursery to anyone!

Overall, definitely the best nursery I could have chosen for my child and I couldn't recommend it any higher!

We cannot speak more highly of the friendly and caring environment that the staff at Ashley Cross Children's Nursery have created.

We think the staff are excellent and really have a passion to look after and nurture children. Our daughter is only one year old but is thriving in her language, communication and social interaction, and a big part of this is the attention she gets at the nursery. We don't have any reservations about leaving her as we know she is in capable hands. The handover at the end of the day is informative and personal, and also lets us know that she has had a fun-filled day. The manager takes great care in understanding the needs of the parent and child, as well as accommodating some of our daughters routine.

In summary, this is a small nursery with passionate staff who really care.

We reluctantly needed to take our son to New Milton in our house move closer to my work, he took to Ashley Cross Nursery like a fish to water – it was a long process of discovering and trying nurseries in the local area in Ashley Cross, but we are so happy that our son had the pleasure and benefit of being placed with you, even though it was quite short-lived.

We wish you all the very finest and best wishes… take care, we all miss you guys each day so much.

We previously used this nursery for our older son and when No 2 came along, 4.5 years later, there was nothing to think about - only hope that we could get him in!

Our son enjoys his days at nursery and we feel so happy knowing he is in a safe and secure environment with people who genuinely care about him and his needs.

Feedback on development and learning is excellent and any issues are addressed immediately. The manager and her staff are always available to give advice and, if they do have time for you at that moment, will make sure they catch up with you as soon as they can.

I would be happy to recommend this nursery any time.

I would really recommend this nursery for its dedicated, friendly, caring and professional staff. My son has been going here for 6 months, since he was 1. He was (and still is) a little reluctant at first, but we are always welcomed so warmly and the encouragement from staff is amazing. I leave knowing that he feels happy and safe and is not short of a cuddle when he needs one! Because he was one of the youngest, he was given extra attention at first and a quiet environment to sleep in, nothing was too much trouble to help him to settle in. When we pick him up we hear lovely, funny stories about the small things that make up his day (as well as photos), which are such a highlight.

This is a wonderful nursery - my daughter has been going there for the last 18 months and is so excited every day that she arrives there - which for me says it all. The staff are great and make it so much fun for the kids. I love the fact that a hot lunch is provided by Patrick's restaurant. Nothing is too much trouble and you're always greeted with a smile.

I wanted a warm, homely nursery for my daughter and Ashley Cross children's nursery does not disappoint. The happy, friendly staff and atmosphere puts me at ease and I know my daughter is in safe hands. She has grown and developed so much in the year she has attended and I know a big part of that is down to all the girl's hard work and care. She has another two years at the nursery before she starts school and I couldn't be any happier that I chose this nursery.

My son went to this nursery. My daughter is now at this nursery. She started this October and is finding it a bit difficult to let go of mummy. The nursery manager and owner has made this transition as easy as possible. She was there three years ago to help settle my son in and now my daughter is getting the same special settle in to nursery life. This nursery is constantly good. We are very happy with the small friendly approach.

When my daughter turned 18 months I got a fantastic job and should have been over the moon, but felt full of anxiety over who could I trust to look after my daughter. I looked around several nurseries and for whatever reason I did not feel comfortable and was not reassured that my daughter would be happy but most of all safe by the visit. Then I made an appointment to meet with the Nursery Manager and looked around the nursery. WOW!!! From the minute I walked through the door and was welcomed, to this day I cannot fault Ashley Cross Day Nursery. The staff are so caring and lovely and always show an interest into each child who are treated as individuals and not just a number, as it's such a homely friendly environment. The nursery is always clean, full of toys both inside and in the garden to ensure the children have fun and learn through play. My daughter has developed in several areas her social skills have improved such as sharing and her speech is that of a 4 year old at 2 and a half. She comes home each day full of excitement telling me about her day. A happy child, means a happy mummy :). I have this nursery to thank for being part of her development but most of all for being able to put my trust into the staff and know my daughter is having fun and being looked after to such a high standard.

Could not have asked for a better setting for my daughter, all of the staff are extremely friendly and nurturing. I now have a very confident little girl all set for big school. I would highly recommend.
