Bramley Wood Day Nursery

The team genuinely care for the children. You feel part of a very large extended family.

My daughter settled in really quickly and absolutely loves nursery. She comes home talking positively about her day and the different activities she did.

Sometimes the parent app updates are not kept up to a consistent standard in replacement of the daily handovers and although the staff changes cannot be helped maybe the key worker or room assistant changes could be made with a little more transition.

Caring and kind staff. Warm welcome every morning. My daughter has really benefited being there for over three years. It was the right choice for us.

Both our boys love Bramley Wood, the staff are brilliant and the outdoor space is amazing. Would highly recommend.

The nursery has seen many changes over the last 6 years but they have made sure that this has had minimal impact on the children and relationships with the parents.

Our boy joined the nursery full-time at 16 months and is now three and a half and loving preschool life in the setting he knows and loves. The care and education he has received is second to none. They have supported him with every part of his development. They got him in a great routine very quickly, even taking a two hour nap at set times a day - miracle workers. They taught him how to use cutlery, drink out of a cup and were pretty much instrumental in his potty training when he decided at two and a half he didn't want to wear nappies anymore. We are always complimented on his speech and confidence and the work the nursery does with him every day is key to this. Every day he is welcomed with a smile from every member of staff, they all take the time to say good morning even if just passing in the hall. The outdoor play is great and there is such a variety of activities to keep him occupied and he LOVES the food. Personally couldn't think of a better place for our son to be.

Highly recommend this place for the food, the facilities, the staff and also the online portal allowing you to check on your little lovey all day, including cute pictures. I have and will keep on recommending to friends.

We were incredibly lucky to have found Bramley Wood. Every staff member worked extremely hard to help our son settle and then thrive - the change and development in the last 12 months has been remarkable. Our son loved the nursery, his teachers and had fun every day. All his teachers are so caring and you genuinely feel they put 100% effort into everything they do with the children. The activities, games and facilities at the nursery are very good. The large garden was a particular favourite and we will be sad to leave Bramley Wood for our son to start school.

I have been very happy with the team since my daughter started at 18 months and has just finished ready to start school. The staff have been fantastic, allowing to support and grow trusting bonds (there are many grown-ups that are going to be missed as well as the children) and they have also allowed transitioning those bonds to the next key person when they move up rooms, which has meant my daughter had a stable environment and always had fun when she was there. The garden is a fantastic resource that they use really well. They have supported her and prepared her for starting school so much so that she is really excited to go and talks about going to school all the time. The meals she has been given have been varied and healthy. Communication between the nursery and parents is easy, the app is also a nice touch to see moments and read about activities they have done. I have been so happy with her time here. My baby is already booked in to start at the end of my maternity leave.

My daughter first went to Bramley Wood at a year and a half, and she immediately loved it. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, putting my wife’s worries at ease. It was a pleasure to watch my daughter grow in her personality and make new friends as she made her way through the groups. Once my wife moved to part-time hours we reduced her days but it still helped her grow into who she is today because of the wonderful staff and everything they provided to my daughter. Even during maternity leave, we put her into nursery due to the things nursery provided her, from social interaction, school prep and my daughters favourite French with Madame (odd listening to your daughter talking then realising you don’t understand her because she’s talking/singing in French). We love Bramley Wood and have recommended it to friends on multiple occasions. Our second daughter will be starting soon. We cannot praise the staff enough.

My son and my daughter both loved Bramley Wood Nursery. The staff are all so lovely, welcoming and friendly. They all build up a close relationship with the children and cater to everyone’s needs. I was actually sad for my children when it was time for them to leave as I loved the nursery. I also liked that there needed to be a password given, if anyone other than the main person was picking up a child, so the children were always kept safe.

My son has been going to Bramley Wood for over a year and is now off to big school. He loves spending time at nursery and has made lots of friends. His confidence has grown, along with his social skills. My son is special needs and the staff and management have been very helpful and understanding of his needs, making sure he is never left out.

My son joined the nursery 2017 and left July 2019 due to starting school. He participated full time most of this period. He enjoyed his stay at nursery, especially the great outdoor area which is like a big garden. Staff very friendly and caring. From the management team I, as a working mother, received great support. I can highly recommend Bramley Wood Nursery.

Bramleywood do provide flexible care which is helpful for shift workers in particular, and also offer 1 day a week attendance which a lot of nurseries do not.

My daughter started Bramley Wood just after her third birthday. The staff were amazing from day one, helping her settle in and acclimatising to life at Bramley Wood. We are always welcomed by smiles in the morning to both myself and my daughter. The range of activities are is amazing - well thought through sessions, with a good balance of playtime and some learning. Lots of outside time all year round and the children always look really happy when they are outside and I pick them up after a long day. Finally, I feel a huge effort is made by staff to integrate families with new special events at Easter, Christmas and Summer. Thank you Bramley Wood.

My 11-month-old son has been going to this nursery since the beginning of March and I can not recommend them enough! They are in the 21st Century with their App and the updates the nursery provide are great! They are also very flexible with balancing my work, husband's shift patterns and family life! My son loves it! Thank you for all your do!

The nursery itself is full of character, it's welcoming and has a fun and happy feel on entering. My son attends the preschool and has thrived due to the fun and educational activities including French and outdoor learning as well as the stimulating environment. The staff have been consistent and have proven to be professional, caring and supportive towards his individual needs. The fact that he thoroughly enjoys his time there is happy, confident and feels safe and secure is more than enough for me.

Absolutely brilliant nursery with outstanding facilities. Staff are friendly, caring, and clearly love their jobs. My son attends 2 days a week and has been going since age 1. He starts school properly in September '17 so has just started their Pre-School and loves it. The manager has been especially brilliant sorting out a couple of day swaps for me when my daughter's school was on half term and I had some juggling to do.

Special point - they recently had a visit from the local fire station and the children were able to go in the fire engine, put on the helmets, and even use the hose - I heard all about that non-stop for a week after! My daughter (now 6) also went from age 1-5 and loved every second (and is doing really well in school which is somewhat due to the brilliance of Bramleywood!). Brilliant nursery and I highly recommend it.

I have sent both my children to Bramley Wood and it's always a pleasure to drop them off, as they happily run into the nursery and it's great to see their smiling faces when you pick them up at the end of the day and hear about all their adventures. Excellent staff make leaving your child easy and they are pleasure to work along side to bring up your children.
