Review from Clair M (Mother of Child) published on 27 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of our boys are at Brinds Well Day Nursery (Orpington) and they love it there. The staff are great, they really care about the children and work with you as parents to develop them, giving them endless opportunities to hit milestones as well as have a very rounded experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to any parent.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been enjoying her time spent in Brinds Well Day Nursery (Orpington) since she started last month. All the staff are very caring and friendly, especially the key person to my daughter is exceptional.

I love to listen to my daughter and what she has done and enjoyed in the nursery each day. There are a lot of different activities or events which seem to be fun and great for learning and experiencing new things. The environment and the atmosphere are phenomenal as the nursery is located in nature which is amazing.

Overall Experience
Brinds Well is like family! The last 3 years with my daughter going to Brinds Well has been a wonderful learning curve for her from being a baby to toddler and then preschool. Every stage was full of social and educational fun and friendship. Staff at every stage have been incredible. This year was graduation and getting ready for school. It was very emotional leaving the nursery.

Brinds Well has provided the right support for her to learn, read, write and look after her things etc. Whatever you need for school has been provided. It was an easy route to school. Thank you for everything!

Review from Lexie J (Mother of Child) published on 26 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have just finished an almost six year journey with Brinds Well between 2017 and 2023. Both of my daughters started at aged one and stayed until they left for primary school.
We couldn't have asked for a more caring, safe, warm and educational environment for our girls and have been very happy with our choice. We really will miss everyone as the staff at the nursery have become friends to my daughters and to us.

I would 100% recommend Brinds Well to any family about to start out on their nursery journey.

Overall Experience

Both my children attended Brindswell nursery and I would, without a doubt, highly recommend it to any parent. We have received exceptional care and seen our children flourish and gain so much confidence. The facilities are amazing - large gardens, with lots of fun outdoor amenities and each room has such a nurturing and stimulating environment. We (as parents) were kept up to date through an app and my children and I built very strong bonds with all the staff where they went above and beyond to support my sons with their development. It has truly felt like a second home for my kids and I can't recommend it enough!

Review from Amanda J (Mother of Child) published on 5 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of my daughters have attended Brinds Well, and we are leaving at the end of August as my youngest starts primary school, and I will genuinely miss everyone. Over the last seven years, I can honestly say the staff have become my friends, and my girls love them all.
Everyone at Brinds, from reception staff to key workers to the nursery manager, is dedicated to giving our children the best start possible all the way through, from Caterpillars to Pre-School.
Brinds is a warm, friendly, safe environment with exceptional approachable staff who work individually with our children’s needs and, where possible, will do their utmost to accommodate a parent's needs too, be it extra days, advice, etc.

Sending your child to Brinds Well, in my opinion, is a no-brainer - they are the top nursery in our area for one reason - they are the best!

Review from S G (Father of Child) published on 16 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Brinds Well Day Nursery (Orpington) team's personal attention and the nurturing atmosphere have been instrumental in developing my son into a well-rounded and confident child. It has been his second home for two years and he has loved every minute of it. The nursery gives a lot of space for children to grow in their own unique way. I rate the nursery highly on all areas including learning, activities, care and food. I can't recommend them highly enough.

We are very happy with Brindswell Day Nursery. Thank you for everything!

My child has been attending since February when he was 9 months! He absolutely loves it! His key person is so caring and gives lots of feedback, helping to reach milestones.
This nursery is fully inclusive, no need to pack anything other than spare clothes! (helps getting ready on busy mornings).

The garden space throughout the nursery is amazing! My child has access to the garden all day, he loves to be outside!

Review from H L (Father of Child) published on 1 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Overall, pleased with the nursery. The room staff are friendly and kind to the kids. My only issues are;
1 - Consistency in the use of the daily feedback system: it would be good if everything was maintained and managed online. The paper system seems retrogressive when the equipment and system for a paperless process exists.

2 - The cost of the fees is eye-watering. The most recent increase was substantial. To achieve value for money we should also see commensurate improvements.

Brinds Well Day Nursery is a great setting. My youngest is currently attending and my eldest left last year to go to school.
The facilities are lovely for the children and there is always a wide range of activities for them to participate in.

Staff are warm and welcoming with the children and go above and beyond to help them settle in and feel comfortable.

Brinds Well has been a wonderful nursery for our daughter. She has thrived since joining in 2022. Only at 16 months old, she is confidently singing nursery rhymes and is talking. The staff love her and the environment is very nurturing. I would 100% recommend Brinds Well.

Review from Katy H (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have seen my four daughters through Brindswell Day nursery and have been extremely happy with my experience. My youngest is in her final months before starting school in September.

The staff are friendly, approachable and professional. They clearly care about the children and form fantastic bonds and relationships with them. Whenever one of my girls has had difficulty with separation, been a bit emotional, or generally had any typical toddler behaviour troubles, the staff at Brindswell have always been on hand to help, re-enforce behaviours I encourage at home and offer tips from their professional point of view. We will be sad to leave Brindswell later this year.

My child really enjoys her time at nursery and is always so excited to tell me about her day and surprises me with the new things she has learnt. The practitioners are so caring and ensure her needs are met and is engaged and happy. The resources are great, especially with the addition of the loose parts and everyday items they now have to explore.
