Little Garden The Bourne End Day Nursery & Pre-School

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.

I have used Poppies BE for my first child who is now 7 and I was always impressed with the quality of the staff and the loving care and attention they gave to my child and all the children. I think the system they have in place of moving classes gets children ready for their time at school and gives them the independence that they need at certain ages. I also love the fact that now we are back using Poppies so many of the staff are still there so plenty of friendly and familiar faces. I cannot recommend Poppies and their ethos enough.
