Review from Joanna S (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
It is a lovely friendly environment among the children and staff. The children seem happy and the staff have lots of energy and enthusiasm while looking after the children. There seems to be the right balance between fun, learning and discipline - ie. the children, parents and staff all seem to thrive.
I have been particularly struck with how close friends my child has made at a young age.
The food for the children is nutritious, modern and varied, the children benefit from lots of time outside with various activities - building block, mud kitchens and other messy play inside. The different themes each week help the children learn and they do seem to get very excited by them. I really enjoy hearing what they have been up to at the end of each day - even if sometimes it makes me jealous as it sounds like a lot of fun.

As an aside, the nursery has been amazing through the Coronavirus situation - they have kept the friendly atmosphere while adhering to guidelines.

Overall Experience

Staff at the Brinds Well Day Nursery are fantastic and the nursery is well equipped for Covid to put me as a parent at ease. Great and varied activities, lots of outdoor play with covered areas, and mix of creative learning activities for numbers and phonics to get school ready for my daughter. She could not wait to get back to Nursery after the lockdown and no settling expecting for my youngest going in next soon.

Review from Melanie H (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Even though my son has not attended nursery since lockdown began, I'm extremely impressed with the amount of communication via the nursery app, videos, activities to try at home, songs and stories and even food ideas from the lady in the kitchen. Great for keeping that connection. I really appreciated the call from one of the team in my son's group to check we were all well. Another huge positive in all of this was not being charged while my son was not attending. I've heard of numerous nurseries still charging 25-30% even though they were closed. A huge help and relief. We look forward to returning very soon.

Review from Neel M (Father of Child) published on 12 May 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have been very happy with the nursery my daughter attends. She is now 18 months, has been there since September 2019 and attends full time as both her mother and I have fulltime jobs. She always comes home with a big smile and it is great to see her bonding with all the staff and other children. She is starting to learn people's names, starting to count and form sentences. The nursery staff are all very bubbly and easy to get along with, and best of all are flexible to your requests and needs.

I am very grateful for the attention and care they have provided her and it's amazing to see how she is developing every day now. Thank you.

Review from Michelle H (Mother of Child) published on 12 May 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff are fantastic in leading new and fun educational activities for the children every day. Our son is always happy when we drop him off and when we pick him up. The nursery is excellent at communicating with us, always taking their time when handing him over and giving us details as to what he did that day. The food they offer is really healthy. And we particularly love the support they offer in terms of leaving recipe cards in reception and reading books/toys the children can borrow. The nursery facilities inside and outside are excellent. And it's fantastic to see all staff encourage the little ones to be independent whilst having fun at the same time.

Overall Experience
Management has always very responsive to any questions/concerns - both via email and in person.
Most of the staff in the rooms that my children are in are very friendly and work well together to ensure the engagement of all the children.

The opportunity for parents to become more involved in things like Eco-School has been exciting and the team are very open to new ideas and suggestions.

We've had a great experience so far with Brinds Well, our daughter seems to really enjoy herself, and the staff are all extremely friendly and personable. It feels like they all know (and care for) our daughter, and I'm sure its the same for other families.

My daughter has had an excellent start to the nursery based on how flexible and accommodating they have been with the settling in. I feel I can always call in during the day if I feel I want to see how she is doing. Overall a great experience.

Review from Matthew H (Father of Child) published on 16 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Brinds Well is a very welcoming environment. The staff all take time to get to know us as parents but more importantly know your child within hours. At what can be a very unsettling time for your little one, the key workers and all staff show true care and attention to make them feel safe and cared for.
The days are packed with fun learning activities with plenty of inside and outside time. So far I can report on no negative food experiences as our daughter is expanding her palate on a daily basis and eating meals that she wouldn’t normally try at home.

We are looking forward to watching the development of our daughter, making her ready in all respects to start her schooling life.

Overall Experience

A wonderful experience putting my 10-month-old in the nursery for the first time. The staff are really understanding and supportive of the transition of my little girl settling in. I get lots of feedback from her day and feel my questions are welcomed and respected. She always comes home happy, full and well looked after.

Review from Madge M (Mother of Child) published on 20 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Brindswell is an absolutely lovely nursery with such a wonderful team of staff. So many great things but if I could just mention a few:
- My son is greeted with a wonderful smile by all the staff in the room every morning
- He some times struggle to settle in. All the staff have been very supportive looking for all sorts of creative ways to ease him in
- Communication between the staff is faultless - every time I leave a message, it’s communicated to everyone involved, every time
- My son is not interested in going home at the end of a long day. Is always happy whenever I pick him

- To top it all is the wonderful pictures and videos I get through the ParentZone app which gives me an update on how my son has been through the day - absolutely makes me smile every time.

Overall Experience

My little girl has been with Brinds Well since Sept and she is in love with the everyone there! Everyone is very helpful, kind and considerate of her needs and personality. I could not have found a better nursery for her. She is there full time and I never feel like I worry about her well being. The staff keep her online log very up to date and I always look forward to seeing all the pictures and videos they post. I have not a single bad word about Brinds Well.

The staff / carer was really helpful in helping our little one settling in within the nursery. Progress photos provided quite often during the settling in period which perhaps we could have in the near future.

I was extremely anxious about leaving my daughter after a year together on maternity leave and returning to work. Brindswell helped make the transition so much easier as I knew she was safe, well cared for and having lots of fun.

Review from A N (Mother of Child) published on 10 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little one graduated from Brinds Well in August 2019. I must say she had an amazing time from when she started as a baby (in ladybirds) till her last day (in butterflies).
She (and me) are always full of some stories to share - be it about how they played outside or how to protect the poor little turtle in the sea from plastic.
The staff here listen to you and if something isn't right for you, they hear you out - which is what I wanted when it came to my little one's care.

I would not think twice before recommending Brinds Well to my friends and family.

Overall Experience

Brinds Well offers fantastic facilities as well as welcoming hospitality to all children and parents. My son loves going to the nursery and doing a variety of activities with other children. I receive a daily record of how my child's activities and a mobile-based interactive apps provides me with photos and observations uploaded by the nursery staff. The staff are confident and delightful, always making me feel like staying in the nursery instead of going to the office in the morning.
