Review from Sarah H (Mother of Child) published on 11 September 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have had a great experience with our son in his new room. He has settled in really well to the new room thanks to the very attentive staff. Although he can't as yet tell us all about his day, he is obviously happy to be at the nursery and at pick up we get to see how much he is enjoying being there. He has a very rich experience with very varied activities that he really seems to enjoy. We are very happy to leave him in the nursery's care. Thank you!

Overall Experience

I have been incredibly impressed with Culham Nursery, their staff and their wonderful manner towards my son over the past 7 months he has attended. As soon as he started I noticed a difference in his confidence and social behaviour where he had previously been a little shy, and it is clear to see how much he has developed as a direct result of the support and encouragement delivered by all the staff he interacts with, and by the interesting activities that are planned for him. It jas been easy to form friendships with all members of staff who provide brilliant feedback and are always happy to answer/give advice about questions I have. Important to note the professional way the nursery handled COVID-19 during the lockdown and upon return. I have always felt that my son is safe and happy when he is there.

As parents, we are extremely happy, confident and reassured that our 20-month boy is safe, happy and well looked after. The centre is very accessible, professional and logically organised. Staff are simply superb. From the kids perspective, he is happy, learning and growing lots and been developing super quick over the past 12-months. Simply superb! Thank you!

Overall Experience

We have been extremely pleased with the level of support and care that our son has received when he started last September. The staff have been brilliant in making him feel comfortable and settled by addressing his needs. The facilities are great with a massive garden suitable for any weather conditions. We will definitely be sending our youngest boy when he turns 3.

Review from C O (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Culham Science Centre Nursery & Preschool since she was 18 months old and has thrived. The preparation and thought from the whole team in ensuring every child develops in their own way and are ready for school has been outstanding. Culham staff have built wonderful bonds with all the children and the joy on their faces when you pick them us is evidence of this. I cannot believe our nursery experience is almost over but we know we will leave such fond memories of the nursery & pre-school

Review from Jade K (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We've loved our time here, sad that our son is starting school, we will miss the nursery. The staff are brilliant, we are always amazed by what they do every day and how advanced he is compared to other children his age, I credit a lot of that to the team and the care and hard work they put in. I would recommend the nursery to anyone, it's brilliant. He particularly enjoys lunch and tea time, the food sounds great, It's clear a lot of thought and care goes into everything! Great nursery and team.

Review from Helen K (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Two of our children have been through this nursery since January 2016 (our youngest is still there) and we have been delighted with the levels of care and education they have received. From speaking to parents about other nurseries it is clear that these levels are extremely high. Our daughter left Culham Science Centre Nursery a year ago and has really happy memories of her time there as well as the people that taught and cared for her and it is also obvious that our son loves being there too given that he wants to come in, even at the weekend! We could not ask for more - thank you!

Review from L G (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Culham Science Centre Nursery from 6 months old, she absolutely loves it, she is so far ahead of other children her age in terms of walking, understanding and reaching all her key milestones, she has recently moved from babies to toddler room and the continuity has been brilliant she has bonded with the staff and they challenge her enough to keep her interested. It's such a wonderful place I would highly recommend. And the food, the kids eat better than I do.

Our son is very well looked after by all staff at Culham Science Centre Nursery & Preschool, and we have really noticed the impact of the learning and activities provided. We could not be happier. The care from all staff, quality of food provided and the safe environment leave us entirely assured that our son is in the very best of hands. To any parent considering sending their child here, you will not be disappointed.

Review from Naomi L (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My children absolutely love their days at Culham. They are happy, stimulated and cared for in a wonderful setting. The rooms are all fantastic and thoughtfully set up. The garden is the best around. So many activities and varied play areas. So many toys that no one ever seems to go without. The food is excellent and they always eat really well. But the thing that really makes Culham stand out is the staff who are absolutely amazing. They are kind, attentive, caring and committed to the children in their care. Every day is planned so that the children get the most out of their time there. Right from day one my daughter's keyworker understood her needs and spent time and effort encouraging her so that she is so confident and happy and doesn't look back when I drop her off. My little boy settled in instantly. He adores his key workers and has a lovely bond with them all. I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful place to friends and family.

Overall Experience

Outstanding in every regard. The staff have gone above and beyond what we could possibly have hoped for with care for our daughter. They have given her an incredible amount of support to help with her development and we are really delighted with her progress. Key workers and managerial staff have all been fabulous in the help they have given us. We are looking forward to our next child attending. Thank you to the manager and staff- very highly recommended.

Review from Sarah C (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
We were naturally slightly anxious for our daughter as she started nursery for the first time in January but our concerns were shortlived. In the past three months, her carers have gone above and beyond to help her settle into nursery life and have exceeded our expectations on all levels.
She now looks forward to going to nursery and speaks fondly of her key carer on home days.
The food is excellent and she is trying and eating, often double portions of meals. She wouldn't even try at home.

We highly recommend Culham Nursery to any parents seeking care that meets all their child's developmental needs.

We have been so impressed with the care that has been provided to our son since he started.

He settled so well and adjusted quickly to the routines. Every day we get a thorough run through of the day and are always assured that he has had lots of fun and is learning lots of new things.
