Bunny Run Nursery and Pre-school

nap durations). Given the location, we would like the children to take more walks and engage in outdoor pursuits like forest school. We would like to be informed of the plan for each day as staff are not always aware. We enjoy updates about our child as much as possible and would like clubs to return. We are generally happy with the nursery.

app in a typical week. Price is reasonable compared to other nurseries. That being said, there has not been a significant move away from the practices put in place during the pandemic, i.e. there has been no official return to parents being able to go inside the nursery, which is not the case for other local nurseries, so we feel that we and our son are missing out. No nursery events, such as at Christmas, or parents' evenings. Therefore, been little opportunity for parents and children to mingle. Staff turnover has been high, which is not specific to them, however, there have been instances where they have been slow to update us on new staff members starting.

for our son to thrive in. He instantly took to it during the trial and I watched him as he explored all the toys, aquarium and opened up to the teachers. It feels like a home from home environment, calm and mature and the carers, most of which seem to have been with the nursery for a long time, could not be more loving, patient and engaged. I watched our little boy over the past year and a half turn into a very confident, curious, creative and social little toddler, with great manners, kind and carefree and we have Bunny Run to thank for it as he spends 4 long 10 hour days with them. The food is excellent and varied and I am able to watch his progress via the app!

the staff that work with the kids, management, the owner. Despite having a difficult situation and not being able to give a set start date, they were so understanding and flexible. The educational activities are well thought out, they focus on different topics each week. And I love that they walk the kids over to the nearby forest when they can. But the best review comes from my daughter when I pick her up who is always so happy.

The children are well fed on good healthy food and there are updates daily on how much they have eaten and nap times. They download this onto a useful app so you can keep up to date with what your child is doing.
During Covid-19 the nursery has gone out of its way to ensure children are safe whilst providing care for children of keyworkers.
I can not fault this nursery and the staff. I highly recommend!

setting not connected to Bunny Run and after frequent refusal to attend, emotional times when leaving and collecting, just knew that he was not happy there. I decided to move him to Bunny Run and followed my mother's intuition and have not looked back. There has been no tears or upset at all and we are greeted with a very happy little boy every day. He has also come on a lot in terms of development and is much happier within himself.
I really can’t find any faults with the nursery.
I really appreciate nappies, creams, wipes and sun creams being supplied and included within the fees. It saves a lot of extra stress and daily organisation which means I have one less thing to worry about.

so warm and welcoming. This is such a lovely nursery and I can't recommend it enough!

some of the bigger, more commercial nurseries. It also is in a beautiful rural setting and the boys love going out walking in the woods. I'd highly recommend it.

themed weeks (like this week’s one on eating healthily), cookery, Forest School, gardening, dressing-up, water play etc. The children are provided with a varied, nutritional menu each day including a hot meal at lunchtime. The nursery has excellent, approachable management which has dealt with the covid-19 situation extremely professionally. Parents evenings are held on a regular basis and the nursery is very good at informing parents of current activities, feedback progress and any areas of concern. All the staff are positive and full of fun and the love, care and warmth shown to children at the nursery is second to none.

the new friends she has made and the activities they get up to. I love being able to see how they are getting on throughout the day with the Famly App. I would definitely recommend the Bunny Run to anyone looking to place their child there.
