We honestly couldn't be happier with the nursery. From the very beginning, the team have been so warm, welcoming and genuinely caring, which made what can be quite an emotional transition as a parent feel so much easier. The staff are absolutely lovely and you can tell they genuinely care about the children rather than it ever feeling like "just a job". Communication is brilliant, we're kept updated throughout the day, and it's so reassuring to see how settled, happy and comfortable our little one is there. There's always so much thought put into the activities, development and experiences they provide, and we've noticed such a difference in confidence and development since starting.
As a working mum, knowing that my baby is somewhere safe, happy and genuinely cared for means everything. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to other parents.

My daughter has attended since she was 1 years old, she is now 4 and will be going to school this year. I cannot recommend The Purbrook Day Nursery enough. I have never once felt uneasy since my daughter started there. They have even supported us tremendously through difficult circumstances we have faced at home also. Every single staff member is so wonderful and kind and I will be very sad to say goodbye to them when my daughter goes to school.

My daughter has attended since she was 10 months old and is now about to leave to start school. Our experience at Purbrook has been amazing since day 1. All the staff are genuinely so lovely and clearly love what they do. I've never had any concerns about the care given to my daughter. She has loved nursery and will miss it there a lot (so will I). She has grown and developed so well here and loves the variety of activities they get to do including all the time they spend in the outdoor areas. Support with school readiness has been great and they have a dedicated class room area for pre-schoolers. Overall, I would definitely recommend Purbrook nursery to anyone!

Both my children went here & loved it. The friendly approachable staff at Purbrook make handovers a quick happy process. I could not have been happier with my daughter's key worker, I really feel like she took the time to get to know my daughter & understand her likes & dislikes. She encouraged her to try new things & helped her to improve on the things she could already do. The key worker is very kind & caring & I felt safe leaving my daughter in her care. Another specific staff member also formed a very special bond with my daughter, my daughter really took a shine to this staff member & I believe she made my daughter's time at nursery so much better by being there. One of my favourite things about the nursery is the cooked meals. Both my Girls enjoyed every meal & tried things they would never have tried at home. One of my daughter's favourites was the Fish Curry. The chef always greets you with a smile & she's a Fantastic Chef. I think the whole team is a credit to the company. It's clear to see how hard they work yet nothing is ever too much trouble.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at nursery . From the moment i walked in, the warm and welcoming environment made me feel completely at ease. The staff are not only highly qualified but also genuinely caring and attentive. It's clear they are passionate about early years education.
My child has blossomed since starting here-developing socially, emotionally, and academically. The daily activities are thoughtfully planned, balancing learning with plenty of fun and creativity. I especially love the regular updates and photos that keep us connected to our child's day.
The communication with parents is excellent, and i always feel informed and involved. The facilities are clean, safe, and stimulating, with a lovely outdoor area that our child adores.

My son has been going to this nursery for a year now and has really come along in his socialising with other children in his age group.

Our toddler has been attending the Purbrook Day Nursery for about 7 months. The staff have been so supportive of both me and my child at every development stage: adjusting to life after maternity leave, reducing breastfeeding, every toddler growth phase. Since starting there my child has developed so much in social confidence, speech, concentration, physical activities. He has even learnt yoga and frequently impresses us with his "downward dog"! It is a real joy to see him flourishing. The nursery are very good at communication: there are frequent e-mail notices and the staff give thorough, diligent handovers at the end of each day so I can trust I will always get the important details. Management also handles the complex bureaucracy of the government-funded hours proficiently and send communications out in good time.
They cook all meals fresh on-site and they are always good quality. They have a good garden space as well as the comfy baby snug room. My toddler is very happy there.

My son has been going to Purbrook Nursery for the past 6 months, in the baby snug room. Almost immediately I noticed a huge difference in his self confidence outside of nursery, with a willingness to explore different environments and meet new people. He has built a really strong connection with his key person, who is such a lovely woman. She is always extremely enthusiastic to great us in the morning and makes us feel like more than just 'another kid walking through the door' she really knows my son and his interests and seems just as passionate and excited about him meeting milestones as we are as parents. The room leader, is also always extremely welcoming and is clearly very knowledgeable about the development and education of young children.
I am always very impressed with the range of activities provided for the children and its clear that thought is always put in to include the children's interests and get them involved. we are very happy with our experience!

My twins have attended this nursery for a few years now, starting in the baby snug which was great, they are getting on great since moving to toddlers , they love going and are always greeted with a hug from one of the girls :) My sons key worker and another member of staff is my daughters they are brilliant! I feel they have really taken the time to get to no them, they are gentle kind and very in tune with there individual needs. Communication is great with all the staff at the Nursey. Other members of staff are also a credit to this Nursey they make me feel very welcome and are brilliant with my twins.
They do lots of different activities lots of outdoor time, fire engine visit ,Santa visit, animal visits they have lots going on .. there is always a good friendly atmosphere which is why my twins love coming to this Nursey.

My daughter has been coming to Purbrook Day Nursery since April and as a family, we love it.
We've always felt like we're dropping her with family members and really feel like the staff values nurture and cares over everything. Plus my daughter always comes home tired and grubby- which we consider signs of a great day! So thank you Helen and Team you are fab.
