Review from Kat N (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Great nursery. Lovely staff from the reception staff, the room staff to the kitchen staff. Adore all of them. I wouldn't want to leave my child anywhere else. They are patient, attentive and kind. They keep things new and exciting for the children and focus on their development and supporting parents through different stages. They are quick to spot if your little one isn't themselves and regularly review their CCTV footage to ensure children are safe.

Overall Experience

Our son has been at Brindswell for nearly five months and is doing really well, and we're very happy with the nursery overall. All the staff know his name and are really friendly, including all the management and other staff eg kitchen team, and I feel confident they understand my son, his needs and his likes and dislikes. His recent room move was also managed well. We can see how much he is developing through his time at Brindswell and this is facilitated through the staff and the different activities offered.

Review from Claire F (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Brindswell is such a lovely nursery and my children have been so happy there. They are well looked after, the meals are excellent and they love the constant access to the garden. There is an abundance of activities enabling the children to learn through play. By the time they finish preschool, they already have many of the skills needed for primary school. The staff are amazing; caring and always interested in their well-being, with early years carers still keen to check in on their progress. I have no hesitation in recommending Brindswell to other parents.

Review from Yan H (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Sending my son to Brindswell Day Nursery is one of the best decisions I've made. The nursery is very child-focused: the teachers are professional and caring, the staff are friendly, and the environment is clean with a great mix of indoor and outdoor space. The facilities are well maintained, and the curriculum is well planned and delivered.
The management is organised and always happy to communicate, which gives me confidence as a parent. I get regular updates about my son's progress, along with helpful advice to support his development. He has made friends and I can see him growing and learning alongside his peers.

This nursery has created the perfect environment to help my son grow and get ready for the next stage. He went from crying on his first day to now asking to go every morning. I highly recommend Brindswell!

Review from J M (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has attended Brindswell since he was 11 months old. He started in Caterpillars and is now in pre school and he has enjoyed every single class he has been in.

His development has been so impressive, everyone comments on his speech and language. He is a very independent 3 year old which I know this is something nursery encourages. He is able to make his own cereal at breakfast, get himself dressed with little help and tidy up. The nursery staff are always very friendly and helpful and I cannot fault their care of our son. The staff are really what make this nursery one I would highly recommend.

Review from Amy W (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Could not recommend Brindswell more - our little boy started at the nursery in December last year at just under a year old and we have seen him absolutely flourish in their care.
He is confident and happy and the team in the Caterpillar room have really nurtured him in his transition to nursery life.
We have absolutely no reservations when we drop him off in the mornings and everything is handled with ease, even when he's having his 'off days'.
He will be moving up to his next room in April and the team have already started a number of settling in sessions to ensure he's comfortable and not overwhelmed by the change.

Excellent nursery, would highly recommend - thank you so much for everything Brindswell.

Overall Experience

I have two daughters (currently 31 months and 9 months old). Both have been at Brinds Well since they were 6 months old. They have had a fantastic time at Brinds Well. The staff are wonderful - very engaged, caring and always thinking of new things to do with the children. The nursery has a great site - a large building in a rural setting with lots of outdoor space. They have their own kitchen and chefs making fresh food on site every day. The nursery is very organised and with frequent special occasions and lots of resources for parents. I feel that my daughters are very safe and they have great opportunities to interact with other children. Overall a great place for children.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has a wonderful time at Brinds Well Day Nursery - she loves attending and always comes home happy and engaged. She has developed many skills - her key workers and all of the staff provide excellent and continuous care and attention. We believe that this has been key to her fast advances in social, cognitive and emotional development. As parents, we always feel welcomed and supported and believe that the staff and management are very good at understanding our child's individual needs and implementing our requests. All the staff seem happy and very well-trained and experienced in child care. We would highly recommend this nursery.

We have both our daughters go to Brinds Well Day Nursery. Very happy with the setup, atmosphere, activities and care provided. Since starting in the baby room, my eldest has now moved to preschool. She has been happy and settled well and is school-ready this September. My youngest has started in the baby room and has picked up great skills in communicating with me. I always love that there is so much to explore in the baby room and she has settled quite nicely.

My daughter has been at BrindsWell since she was a baby and now she's left for school. The staff here are amazing and even once your child moves rooms, the previous key workers are always still so keen to know how they're doing and they hug in the hall.

Overall Experience

Our son went to Brindswell from 1-year-old to starting school. He learnt so much at Brindswell, most significantly how to make and be friends with other children. During pre-school, his independence and readiness for school was developed, making the big transition to school easier for the whole family.

Overall Experience

He's taken a while to settle into the nursery environment but the staff have been amazing. He's getting there day by day and is a lot more confident. His confidence outside of the nursery environment has massively improved and he is surprising us every day with what he has learned. So far, Brinds Well Day Nursery has been an excellent choice of nursery.

Review from Jade B (Mother of Child) published on 9 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As our son embarks on his final few days with Brinds Well Day Nursery, we couldn't be more thankful to all the staff for making his three-plus years at Brinds Well an amazing foundation for his future. The staff have accommodated and supported our son (and us) throughout his journey and have taught him so much, not just academically but also emotionally.
During his time at Brinds Well, the staff spotted some sensory-seeking behaviour as well as some other autism traits. Brinds Well has supported us getting external support but have also made several adjustments to accommodate our son and make his time at Brinds Well more enjoyable for him.

His manners and kind nature have been nurtured by the Brinds Well team and I honestly couldn't have thought of a better environment for him to have grown up in.

This nursery is absolutely amazing - the staff are so kind, patient, loving and professional. You really feel that your child is in the best hands from the moment they step through the door. The manager goes over and beyond to make sure children get the best possible care. All the teachers are so attuned to the children's needs and emotions - I have been really impressed with how supportive they have been to my little one, while encouraging independence and socialisation. Thanks for everything!
