We're very pleased with the service Inglewood provide. My son is very happy there, we know he is really good care and follows the curriculum for his age. I would definitely recommend Inglewood to all prospective parents.
Inglewood is a great nursery that both my children have attended. The staff are attentive and the setting is warm and nurturing. My daughter is always happy to be left there. She always eats and sleeps well when she is there which is a good sign of her contentment.
December has been a lovely Christmassy month at Inglewood Day Nursery with the pre-school children putting on a wonderful nativity. I've been impressed with how well the team put the show together, practising the songs in particular - I never knew my daughter had such a memory!
The place looks lovely and Christmassy and the children have made lots of beautiful decorations.
I always find the team co-ordinate and link to seasonal and national events in a well-thought through, and meaningful manner.
Inglewood is a wonderful nursery. The facilities and staff are great. My son loves his time there and has flourished under Inglewood's care. One of the best things about this nursery is the support outside nursery hours. So many of the staff are more than happy to look after our son which is a tremendous benefit to us and takes the stress out of long days at work or unforeseen circumstances.
My son was initially at a different setting which he absolutely loved, however, whilst looking around for preschools Inglewood was recommended to myself and my husband. We decided to have a look, we were very impressed with what Inglewood had to offer. What impressed us the most was the outside space, something our sons current setting lacked. So we made the decision to put our son in Inglewood, it was the right decision as he settled in very well and has flourished. I now also have my second son at Inglewood and he also has settled in very well. I cannot fault the nursery and the staff here are really amazing. Both my boys love being here. They both have such good relationships with their peers and the staff. The staff really have shown a genuine care of duty for my boys with the transition to helping them settle in well. I would totally recommend Inglewood.
My 8-month-old daughter started Inglewood in Sep as I got back to work full time. The anxiety of a new mom leaving the child behind was soon put to rest by the excellent care my daughter received at Maple 1 room. The staff are fantastic and my husband and I really appreciate the effort they make to keep us updated on her daily activities and developments. Outstanding Ofsted rating, Spacious rooms, massive outdoor space, attentive and responsive staff are few of the many key strengths of the nursery. My daughter has skin issues/allergies and needs extra care and the staff have been very accommodating and understanding. Thank you and we are very confident that our daughter will thrive in such an environment as she is happy and excited every morning to go to the nursery.
My child has been very happy at the nursery and I am pleased with how the nursery works in partnership with me to meet my child's individual needs. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.
Inglewood is a very friendly, creative, safe and caring environment where I have seen my daughter flourish. The facilities are fantastic with a large, beautiful garden and swimming pool. The children get opportunities to take part in a huge variety of activities which build their confidence and support their development.
My little girl has been attending Inglewood since she was 3 months old. She is now 16 months and I have not had a single day I have left her at nursery feeling worried or concerned. My little girl only does one day and the staff have ensured her transition to nursery life has been uncomplicated and settling. I can not praise the staff for their open and friendly attitude making not only my little girl feel welcome but myself too. They are so friendly and hands on with the children, listening to your requests and concerns and ensuring they know your child's needs every day. They give detailed reports of the day and take regular photos so you do not feel you are missing out on their development. We are having to leave the nursery due to myself taking a job closer to my home and I can not thank or praise the staff at Inglewood enough for the time and effort they have put into my little girl's development! Thank you and we will miss you.
Every day on pick up I get fed back to about how he has been that day what he has been doing, it's always so lovely to hear. The garden is also amazing.
The staff are extremely good at comforting the children, ensuring they are happy and safe. We love Inglewood and highly recommend it.
We really enjoy hearing from our families and understand how important your views are. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Very supportive of parents and children's needs. Lovely environment for children to learn and develop as they prepare for school. My son has speech delays, the nursery are working with me to improve this alongside the hospital. They are allowing specialists to come in to the nursery to aid and train them further to assist with his progression. Assigned co parent to each child is an excellent touch allowing each child to feel safe and secure whilst with them.
Both of our children have been and are at Inglewood and we couldn't be more happy with the time they have spent there. It has an amazing setting, with a very large garden and a private pool! Staff are very personable, caring and get to know all children, ones not even in their room. There are activities run at various times throughout the year which the whole family can join in with. It's like one big happy family there.
My son is very happy here and he really enjoys his sessions at this nursery. The facilities are excellent and the staff very friendly. The outdoor area is huge and he loves playing there and in the sensory room too.
This is such a lovely nursery. The staff are fantastic, very caring & enthusiastic. Also the facilities are excellent especially the swimming pool and outdoor areas. My son is so happy here! There is even a great holiday club for my older son!
My daughter has been at Inglewood for 3 months and we are really pleased we chose this Nursery - she always seems happy when we drop her off and has settled in quickly, thanks to the caring staff. They seem genuinely interested in her wellbeing and progress, and organise a variety of activities that I would never attempt at home! The outdoor space is fantastic too.
I am very happy with Inglewood since my daughter started in the Bramble room when she turned 2 years old. I like the fact that the room is not over crowded so there is plenty of space for the children to play. The range of activities and opportunities to develop and learn is fantastic. My daughter particular enjoys the home corner. The outdoor space is also great with plenty of outdoor toys, a large sand pit and playground. One of the main reasons we chose this nursery is that there is an indoor pool and she will be starting swimming lessons in September. I am also impressed with the staff, they are brilliant with the children and keep them interested with plenty of activities for example painting, sticking, cake making, dancing, singing etc. My daughter also gets one to one attention where she can develop further her learning from home for example, numbers, colours, shapes etc. Overall we are very pleased and would recommend the nursery.
Thank you for your warm words and positive feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and compliment on our nursery.
This Nursery has been such a wonderful place to see my two girls thrive and grow over the last year. They have loved being here and I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone considering a place for their child. The management team are fantastic and the staff we had experience with were all so friendly and loving to the children. It is very hard to say anything negative about Inglewood. It is a great environment for your children to grow and prepare for the next stage of life.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We really value our parents, think about our nursery and our team.
Inglewood is a wonderful nursery. The staff are all so lovely and caring, it's like home for the children with the love and care they receive :) They have amazing facilities in particular the fabulous grounds with so much to do and of interest. We have three children and our third is still at Inglewood and totally loves it as did the others. The staff are always interested in everything and so attentive with the children. I couldn't think of a better place for mine to be at nursery. Thank you to everyone.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback.
This nursery is an absolute blessing! The staff care for the children, and look after them very well. The managers are amazing and everyone bends over backwards to ensure that the children (and parents!) are happy and settled. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are delighted to hear that you are happy with the level of care our nursery provides.
I've never worried while she is there and have the utmost confidence they care for her to the same standard I do.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback. We pride ourselves in offering a high standard of care.

Meet the Team (3)
Hello, I'm Laura the Nursery Manager and I've been working in childcare since 2008. I started as an apprentice, completing my Levels 2 and 3 and then worked my way up to a manager’s position. During this time, I completed my BA (Hons) in Children’s Development and Learning.
I'm passionate about creating environments that enable children to learn and develop in their own unique ways and watching the challenge themselves to build the foundations for life.
Outside of nursery life, I like to spend time with family and friends. I also have a 1-year-old daughter who I enjoy watching grow and develop.
Hello, my name is Jenna Carter, and I am excited to be part of the Inglewood family alongside Sam in a joint deputy position.
I have worked for Bright Horizons for 12 years and have been in various roles starting with the children in the rooms and progressing into management, which has given me good-quality knowledge and endless opportunities to develop further. I have an NVQ Level 3 and a diploma in business, working in one single Bright Horizons nursery for 11 years. I then had the opportunity to manage another Bright Horizons nursery where I have been for just over a year, I am now relishing the opportunity to join a team closer to home and bring new ideas to the setting to support in continuing to raise the standards at Inglewood.
I am passionate about children and building their confidence, and individual characters and becoming independent young people, bringing different opinions and ideas through play.
I believe that the team is the foundation of a successful nursery, having a positive and open partnership between families and the nursery is crucial for communication regarding the children and having their best interests at heart.
Hello my name is Sam and I have worked for Bright Horizons at Inglewood Nursery for 4 years. I have worked in Early Years for 18 years and in that time gained my BA HONS degree in Early Years Learning and Development and my Early Years Practitioner Status. During my time in the sector I have worked in a variety of settings from independent nurseries to term time preschools. I also spent a year in Ireland as an au pair and also ran a village preschool catering for children aged 2 to 4 years.
I am very passionate about the care and development of children particularly through their environments and the skills of the practitioners working with them. I enjoy training and developing a team and enhancing their own knowledge through what I have learnt over the years, and providing support to those staff who what to continue to develop their knowledge through accredited courses.
I am a mother of 2 boys aged 4 and 6 who both attended Inglewood nursery which enables me to see the setting from both a practitioner's view as well as a parental view. Inglewood is based in Sonning very close to the village and we have over the years developed a wonderful relationship with the community. We are continuing to build relationships with local businesses’ and schools and work holistically with local settings also.
As a full time working mum I understand how challenging it can be and aim to not only support the children in our setting but also their families and the challenges that can arise for busy working parents.
In my spare time I enjoy taking my two boys here there and everywhere for various escapades and adventures, which usually involve treasure hunting. We have a family dog who is usually brought along with us and living in Sonning myself we know the area very well for walks and being able to explore the beautiful countryside we have around us. When I’m not with my boys I can usually be found on the sofa with a book.
