Becket Hall Day Nursery

Becket Hall team has been amazing in the transition of the nursery for my daughter. The care, attention and help has been incredible and made the process as smooth as possible. Our family is truly thankful!

Due to a sudden temporary shutdown in our present nursery, we quickly inquired at Becket Hall nursery to relocate our child. In the end, our original nursery opened again a few days later, so we didn't proceed with Becket Hall (to keep our child with her friends). However, I wanted to share: Our child genuinely had a brilliant time at Becket Hall during the taster sessions and didn't want to leave, and we had a really, really positive impression of the setting. They were also really quick to reply and help set up taster sessions, and communication was perfect, especially the nursery director and the nursery manager.

Becket Hall Day Nursery is the most incredible nursery. Leaving my son when returning to work was a big step but we have felt so hugely supported by the team there. Every child and adult knows his name and are excited every morning to see each other. It has been such a joy seeing our son flourish as he has adapted to nursery. He didn't find it easy to be away from us at first but the team have supported him incredibly well and us too. We get regular updates on the app which are so reassuring. It has been amazing to work with such a talented team and see his language, empathy, fine motor and social skills constantly developing. The food is brilliant and he really loves eating meals with his friends. They have gone above and beyond to communicate well with us, make our son feel so valued and we couldn't recommend them enough. The staff are some of the most generous and hard-working people I have met. They truly adore the children and my son has built such a bond with everyone there.

Really well run nursery - excellent communication and really friendly, lovely staff who really care about the children. Lovely garden and facilities, as well as engaging, fun activities. My daughter was very happy through the baby unit and pre-school and really enjoyed the food!

Our daughter has a great time at Becket Hall pretty much every day that she’s there. She is also learning a lot. The staff are all lovely with the kids and super-helpful whenever we need anything from them. We are extremely happy with Becket Hall. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Becket Dall Day Nursery!

We are really happy to recommend this nursery to other parents.

As new parents, we were very nervous about taking our then 9-month old baby to nursery, not only because you don't know how the settling in is going to be, but also because you worry about so many things. I can confidently say that 7 months in, we could not be happier with Becket Hall and all the credit goes to their incredible staff. They're caring, loving and overall just brilliant. It's not just looking after the babies and children, it's about encouraging them, nurturing them and teaching them, it's about taking guidance from parents but also advising when they need to. Each of the workers that have been with our baby, whether caring for her regularly or on an ad-hoc basis, has been amazing. The nursery is a safe, happy and stimulating place for the children and they clearly love being there. We recommend it to anyone that is thinking about a nursery for their child.

We have been using the nursery for both of our children over the past 7 years and have been consistently impressed and happy with the care provided by the staff. As the children have moved from each stage of care the transition has been managed well. Staff are attentive to the children's needs and give detailed feedback at handover/pickup time and in parents evenings. We have online access to the children's development with detailed comments, observations and photos. Staff are supportive with parenting issues and offer advice and help. The feel of the nursery is like a big family. We have been really pleased with the care offered.

Becket Hall Day Nursery management and staff are absolutely amazing, dedicated and caring. My son graduated over 2 months ago but still says Becket Hall is his favourite nursery; he made great friends there and mentions his key worker often too. The location of the nursey is great for parents working in central Bristol and facilities are absolutely the best in comparison to what other centrally located nurseries can offer. The setting, procedures, routines and activities are all well organised, food is great, all dietary needs are catered for and parents wishes are respected too. You receive daily handover at pick up so know exactly how the day went for your child (something I was surprised to find out not all nurseries do!). My son was very happy and eager to go to Becket Hall Day Nursery and I had all the confidence leaving him there every day, would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Our daughter spent 3 years being looked after part-time at Becket Hall. We found it to be a friendly, safe and caring environment, full of colour, activity and games. The dedicated staff provided considerable opportunities for learning social skills as well as providing a gently structured learning environment. She enjoyed being there at all stages, from the baby unit up through to the preschool department, so I would unquestioningly recommend Becket Hall.

Extremely impressed with the standard of childcare at Becket Hall. Staff go the extra mile and really care about the kids. From the minute you leave your child you know they are in safe hands and they will have a fun day. We have huge admiration for the caring nature of the staff who are not afraid to comfort kids and make everyone feel welcome. Becket is a good size, well organised unit with superb facilities including the outdoor play area which they use all year round. All credit to a fantastic nursery - both us and our son can't thank you enough for all the happy, lasting memories.

Lovely nursery, enthusiastic & fantastic staff who really care for the kids, get to know their personalities and have fun with them! Always ready to listen to any concerns and had was given tailored care/support to address potty training issues. Walks round the city, forest school and a pilot scheme to visit a residential home were all excellent ideas, especially given it’s a city centre nursery.

He found it difficult settling at the beginning but the patience and professionalism of the staff soon helped my son become comfortable in his settings.

Amazing nursery with fantastic staff members that go above and beyond for all children in their care. I have and would highly recommend to any parent looking for childcare.

This is a lovely nursery, with a great group of staff creating a friendly and supportive atmosphere for the children. Both of my children went to Becket Hall Day Nursery when they were just over a year, and stayed until going to school. They enjoyed the large garden and appreciated spending lots of time outside. My daughter especially loved sports activities and my son played most days in the mud kitchen. There always seemed to be lots going on, and new ideas to keep the children interested in things to do. Outings in the minibus to forest school were always very much looked forward to. I found the staff very receptive to any concerns I had, and open to ideas.

My eldest was here from 1 year to 4 years and had a wonderful time. Facilities are great, the staff are wonderful, so very caring.

Her younger sister has started and has settled in already. I love seeing the photos of the great time she is having. It's fantastic that they take the children out on day trips, to forest school and to the old peoples home.

Very happy with Beckett Hall and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Becket Hall has provided a nurturing, happy and loving setting for our daughters preschool years. They have developed strong bonds with the staff and a close network of friends. The outside space has provided exciting play and adventure in the heart of the city. They have experienced many inspiring activities including trips to a residential care home for the elderly and forest school. We could not have hoped for a better experience for them.

Cannot praise Becket Hall enough. From the baby unit to preschool, the facilities, staff, and endeavours to go beyond the expectations of a nursery, everything is incredible. Our daughter made some amazing friends, ate foods she still refuses to eat at home, learned boundaries and rules, and was truly loved by a lot of people who spent ten hours a day, five days a week, making sure our little girl was safe, happy, educated, and developing. I think every parent must wonder how in the world they do it!

Forest school was fantastic, and the care home visits were sweet and kind and helped our kids develop so much more than just interacting with their own age. I loved picking her up and dropping her off (though probably spent way too much time nattering to staff and parents), and the garden is just fantastic.

We are honest to god disappointed that we can't send our new arrival there (but we've moved house closer to work to make school drop offs and pick ups easier for my daughter).

Great nursery - really innovative and caring. Great outdoor space. The staff are clearly recruited really carefully as they are all passionate about childcare. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. My children loved it and I felt good about leaving them in their care.
