Little Garden The Bourne End Day Nursery & Pre-School

Excellent communication from very caring staff. Good facilities and lots of different activities available to the children.

I'm very happy with my experience to date with Poppies (Bourne End). My son has been attending since November 2016 and has had so many positive experiences there. The staff are fantastic - very supportive to parents as well as the children. He's always full of stories of what he got up to, he loves the garden. I'm very happy that my daughter will be starting in the Baby Nest shortly, I've no doubt she will love it as much as her brother.

Our daughter loves her days at Poppies Day Nursery Bourne End. The staff are excellent and they do fantastic activities with the children. I would highly recommend them.

Both of my children enjoy their days at Poppies. The staff are excellent and the children seem to be constantly provided with new activities and learning opportunities.

My daughter is nearly two years old and has been attending Poppies since December 2016. The staff at the nursery were amazing at helping her settle into the Little Explorers and she is now always excited to go to nursery. Her speech development has improved and her social skills since attending. She loves all the staff and will talk about them when you mention nursery. Every day they do different activities and often try to get outside as much as possible. The food is great and varied. We are so happy with our daughter at Poppies and know she will continue to learn and grow while being there.

The staff operate very much as one team and this shines through in the quality of childcare they provide.

The majority of staff that have cared for my daughter over the years have been excellent. We will be sad when it is time to leave for school.

I have nothing but good things to say about our experience at Poppies. My children have definitely benefited from the excellent care and guided development they have received from Poppies.

My daughter has been at Poppies for almost a year after previously being with a childminder. She settled in very quickly and thoroughly enjoys going to nursery. The staff at Poppies ensured the transition between rooms has as little disruptive as possible and I can't praise them enough. The days are varied with lots of fun activities and the meals well balanced and planned.

It is hard to trust anyone in this situation but Poppies have done everything possible to gain our trust.

I am so happy with Poppies, that we even put my second child into nursery before he turned one as he enjoyed visiting the nursery from day one.

I searched for a while for a nursery I felt would be right for my first born and then found Poppies in Bourne End! It was the staff, who all had welcoming smiles, bags of energy, care and interest in the children and their welfare. That was in 2015 February and nothing has changed! My boy is part of a family at Poppies and this gave me the confidence to return to work and trust he is in safe, caring hands!

Highly recommended nursery. All staff work hard to ensure the children feel comfortable and are safe and secure in new surroundings. Each child is greeted with a warm, welcoming smile ready for a session of age appropriate activities.

Staff very supportive when 3-year-old son showing aggressive behaviour towards other children. Haf informal meeting and an action plan put in place.

My son attended Poppies in Bourne End in 2013-14 and now my daughter is there. She started in the baby best and is extremely happy. All the carers are lovely and are very good with all the children. She has recently moved up to the Little Explorers room and settled in very quickly. She is also making good progress in all areas of her development, helped by all her carers. We are very happy with Poppies and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

My child attended this nursery from 10 months until 4 yrs old until they were ready to go to school.

I immediately warmed to the nursery when we first visited as I felt it had a traditional feel about it. All the girls who work in the nursery are lovely and really care and bond with the children. I visited other nurseries before I made my decision to put my child in Poppies Day Nursery.

The children are fed well and do lots of activities throughout the day. The garden environment is also good with a separate area for the babies.

The only downside is the parking at pick up times but it's the same issue at most schools as well.

My daughter has been happy at Poppies from when she started aged 1 until now. They have many wonderful staff, I feel confident and happy that she is in their care. They teach the children lovely manners, respect, and encourage their development at every step, there is a good variety of activities. I feel that they respect and support my wishes and priorities as a parent. The manager is excellent and inspires total confidence, I've appreciated the flexibility shown over the years and always felt communication has been good.

My daughter has been going to Poppies Bourne End since she was 10 months old, she is now nearly 3 years old. She has received excellent care throughout this time, and I'm sure her development has been much assisted by attending Poppies nursery. She has become a sociable confident little girl. The staff have particularly excelled in managing our daughter's severe allergies and I have total trust that they will safeguard her in every way. She has made lots of lovely friends, both with the staff and the other children. I can't fault them.

I can't speak high enough of the staff at Poppies and would recommend this nursery in a heart beat.

My son has attended Poppies for 3 years. I have always been very happy with the care and education he has received. He is always talking about what he has learnt at nursery and the staff who look after him, especially his Key Carer, who he loves!

The whole staff team are very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is always warm and inviting.

The nursery garden is a brilliant space, I like that my son spends so much time outside burning off some energy!

I would highly recommend Poppies to anyone looking for a nursery.
