Review from Isabel D (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attended Brinds Well Day Nursery for about 3 years. In all this time the care has been very good and if you have concerns they have been addressed quickly. The staff is very caring towards the children and they have lots of activities to develop their learning. One of the things that I liked the most is that they have outdoor activities and that the nursery building has been built for that purpose. The management staff are also very helpful. I have recommended this nursery to several mums and we were also recommended by friends to join the nursery and they were not wrong in their advice. All in all, I will highly advise any parents to join this nursery.

It was a very emotional moment when I attended my daughter's graduation day. As usual, Brinds Well organized everything so well and made parents laugh and also burst into tears, so deeply touched by all the kids’ performance for this special day.

Overall Experience
My son attends the nursery in the bumblebees room. We love it because he loves it. The staff are not only professional but incredibly helpful and caring. The room lead is excellent and my son's key worker is outstanding, he absolutely loves her.
They’ve got to know my son well and cater for his needs, they know what he loves to play with and encourage him with this.

His development has progressed as expected but most importantly he is happy and able to be himself.

Excellent all round nursery for my daughter. From her personal development to relationship building, everything has been first class.
Transitions, as the children grow, are seamless and the staff are brilliant.

Highly recommend!

Overall Experience

Brilliant nursery, my son is well looked after and loves being at nursery. He has already grown in leaps and bounds since being there and I couldn't ask for nicer people to watch over him. Really looking forward to him progressing to the next room ladybirds. Amazing transitions between rooms as well. He has learnt so much from the loving and caring staff and has really grown in confidence. Thank you Brinds Well, wouldn't have put my child anywhere else.

Overall Experience
Both my children have attended the nursery and loved every minute. The staff are all so lovely and welcoming and make the children feel so comfortable!
The facilities are great, especially the outdoor areas and there is endless fun for the children inside too. I also like the way they keep the parents updated regularly.

Cannot fault Brinds Well, I highly recommend.

Brinds Well Day Nursery in Orpington is wonderful and my child had good experiences throughout his time there. The key to all that was because of the supportive staff. I recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience

My baby daughter has been with the nursery since she was six months old and the Caterpillars room is a wonderful environment for her, the staff know her really well and really engage with her. When I have had concerns regarding her development we have discussed them and decided together the best way to deal with the issue. I know that my daughter is very happy going to nursery and this makes leaving her that much easier. The nursery is always very clean, tidy and welcoming and the support staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Overall Experience

Staff in nursery is helpful and listen to any concern you may have. It has an excellent location, removed from town business and offers children nice outdoor space. Staff beautifully encourage to build nice friendships between peers, independence, caring for each other and create daily activities which make your morning drop off to Nursery easier as you can see that your child is happy there.

Review from Kate G (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Like in every nursery you will find staff very committed and genuine and those who come to work ‘because they have to’. Luckily those committed are in far greater numbers here.

Reception is very efficient and helpful. Little things need improvement such as pegs and how clothes and bags are hanged on them - it takes time to find your child’s belongings as they are never in place. I don’t know how often toys are checked/cleaned but some look old and not working. ParentZone app is good to see your child’s record and photos. Safeguarding is brilliant as my husband was stopped when collecting for the first time. Facilities outside really good. Inclusive nappies/toiletries is a bonus. Kitchen staff helps in everything, always cheerful. Also, don’t know how often toilets in preschool are checked but they are not perfect. My older son feels very happy going there and never looked back and mentioned his old nursery. Younger settled in and also enjoys activities. Parking facilities good.

Overall Experience

The nursery has always been such a wonderfully nurturing environments for my children as well as every day their learning needs are being assessed and fun educational activities take place. My children have become genuinely attached to their key workers and made close friendships with children here so love nursery days making it far easier for me to leave them confident they are happy.

Review from Hristina I (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been visiting the nursery since October and I can say that the staff is very helpful and supportive. The Reception staff answered any queries very promptly.
The key worker of my son and the staff in the room keep me updated on a daily basis on his behaviour, development, food or any other issues or progress. They are always there if you need to discuss something or if you or your child need extra support.

My son became even more independent as he began to visit the nursery. His speech has improved and I am glad to know he is starting to build up friendships.

Overall Experience

I'm really happy with the care they provide at Brinds Well. Every key worker my children have had genuinely cares about their wellbeing and development. They are clearly overstretched sometimes (not enough staff!) but this is a testament to how popular they are.

Reply from Nichola Cass, at Brinds Well Day Nursery (Orpington)

Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased you are happy with the care provided by our team. The nursery is a busy environment especially at the beginning and end of day when families arrive to drop off and collect, however, we always maintain our ratios in line with the statutory requirements and have additional support during these times.

Review from Troy P (Father of Child) published on 17 September 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A very good nursery, however, I feel there is too much training in generic responses they believe parents want to hear. A few times my wife and I have been told completely different things about our child.

The staff are very good with the kids, however, it's the end of the day handover and understanding the information the parent wants even if its a brief piece of info. The handover sheet shows sleep and food eaten so would be good to know what items they played with and what they got up to or what the day plan from the nursery was i.e. soft play, water play etc..

Reply from Nichola Cass, at Brinds Well Day Nursery (Orpington)

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, we are pleased you are happy with our nursery. We try to keep our communication to both parents consistent and apologise if mixed messages have been given on occasions. We are currently trialling a new online feedback sheet via...
