Bunny Run has been incredible for our little boy. The staff are all so helpful, caring and look after the wellbeing and development of all the children. My son started at 6 months old and every time I pick him up he is smiling - he is over 2 now! The activities, facilities and communication with parents is great, and we have been so happy with the team at Bunny Run. We would certainly recommend Bunny Run to other parents.
We are so happy with our experience at Bunny Run. All the staff make you feel like your child is the most important. Excellent facilities and activities, staff approachable and knowledgable. We could not be happier to send our son here. All of the staff have worked above and beyond, especially during this pandemic, to make things as normal as possible.
We are extremely happy with the progress our son has made while attending the Bunny Run. He looks forward to attending and is always happy when we pick him up after a day there. The staff are very kind and friendly, and the admin staff keep us updated constantly regarding our son or any changes in his care. I would recommend the Bunny Run to any parents who are thinking about a nursery for their child.
We have sent both our children to Bunny Run and couldn't praise the setting high enough. The facilities are excellent and the staff are lovely and the broad learning is brilliant. We will be sad for our littlest to finish but know, thanks to Bunny Run he will be ready for school.
My son is in the Owls and he has the most amazing time at Bunny Run. The staff are really wonderful, so approachable and always have the children's best interests at heart. The outside space is just amazing and was one of the main things that sold it to myself and my son. He always seems to have so much fun, he loves being outdoors come rain or shine. And he is always so excited to be there and see his friends and the lovely teachers. He has come on in leaps and bounds since attending.
We have been very impressed with Bunny Run ever since our child started. We are thrilled to see our sons progression and he has loved every minute. They are very professional and in our opinion, they are the best. Our son was a picky eater when he started but now trys almost anything. He also had trouble with his speech but Bunny Run have helped and encouraged him to speak non stop.
The staff at Bunny Run put a great deal of effort into the care and stimulation of the children. The activities they do are great fun and also help the children to improve skills and gain valuable self-esteem. It is such a bonus to have the woods available and the forest school. They are clearly doing a great job as the children are so happy there.
Fantastic nursery both children love it and the staff go above and beyond.
Excellent childcare facility. The staff are warm and welcoming and have been brilliant over the past few months during the pandemic. They offer a wide variety of activities and provide regular, detailed reports of our child's progress. Our daughter loves going here.
The staff are always very friendly. It is a lovely setting and I have 2 boys who attend the nursery and they both love it.
My daughter started nursery in December 2020. She was 8 months old so I was extremely nervous, but she loves it. The staff were so accommodating and lovely they still are. We are always sent photos of what she has been doing which is really reassuring that she really is loving nursery. Even during these difficult times, all the staff members continue to have a smile on their faces every time I drop off and collect my baby I would highly recommend the Bunny Run to everyone.
Absolutely fantastic, nurturing, learning environment. Lovely caring staff our daughter loves it. A home from home.
Both our children have thrived at Bunny Run and have both grown to be interactive, social and happy children. The staff are all friendly, supportive and willing to help. My daughter is currently in Owls and is constantly learning new things and she loves the outdoor space especially the woods.
The staff are really friendly and kids interests are always at their focus point. My child and I love how different days hold different activities even going outside when it's raining.
The facilities at Bunny Run, especially the outside area, is always being redesigned and updated to improve the children's learning and fun.
Both of our daughters have gone through Bunny Run and our youngest is in her final year. They have both loved their time there. The setting is beautiful and perfect for children that love the outdoors. The staff are so nurturing and provide a fun and caring environment for all ages. It really is like a second home for the children. I would happily recommend them to any parent! I feel their safety and pastoral needs are met in every aspect.
My daughter has been attending the nursery now for nearly 3 years and I cannot recommend Bunny Run highly enough. She attends 4 full days a week and often asks on her days off whether she can go to nursery and is sad when I pick her up! She thrives from the routine the nursery set, her days are varied and as parents, we love the fact they encourage the children to spend as much time as possible outside regardless of the weather. Our daughter has been given the freedom to develop her own personality whilst setting boundaries and I'm sure she would not be the confident child she is now had it not been for the nursery.
Bunny Run are amazing, they looked after our son 7 years ago and still remember him now, and they currently look after our little girl. She loves it, is full of smiles when I drop her off and pick her up. They get the best of everything, from inside play and learning to outside play and learning, which for us was/is great as we don’t have a garden. She loves the food too. Cannot fault the staff at all, all very friendly and helpful and most been there for years, which is great. They certainly give us peace of mind she is safe at nursery. Would definitely recommend.
I would highly recommend Bunny Run! Both my children have been there and sadly my youngest is in his last year there. Both attended since they were 11 months old. The staff are friendly, the boys loved the whole Bunny Run team, every staff member from admin to all carers and volunteers. They have been very professional and I genuinely feel they care about each and every child that is under their care. My children have learnt so much from going to Bunny Run and have created strong bonds with other children. My oldest is in year 1 now and still is really close to those he went to nursery with. I couldn’t be happier with how they have helped raise my children in a calm, caring, safe place! Thank you to all at Bunny Run!

Meet the Team (3)
With over 40 years of experience and a BA in Early Childhood Studies, I have dedicated my career to ensuring the best outcomes for young children. I'm passionate about creating nurturing, stimulating environments where every child can thrive. I believe strongly in the importance of working in close partnership with parents to support each child's development and well-being.
At home, I'm a proud mum to two grown-up sons in their 30s, a doting grandmother to a beautiful granddaughter, and the happy owner of two lively dogs, Boo and Gus.
I've worked in early years education since I was 17, and it's been more than just a career—it's a true passion. Supporting young children as they grow, learn, and thrive is incredibly rewarding, and I’m dedicated to creating nurturing environments where every child can flourish. As a parent of two young children myself, I understand how important those early experiences are, and I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to everything I do.
I've worked in childcare ever since leaving college, drawn to the joy and fulfilment that comes from supporting young children in their early development. After spending four years living in Turkey, I returned to the UK and was welcomed back to the same nursery I’d worked at before—proof of how much I value the team and the meaningful work we do. Now, as a parent myself, I bring a fresh perspective and even deeper empathy to my role. I find it incredibly rewarding to help nurture the next generation, both in my professional life and at home.
