  • The Brampton Day Nursery, Huntingdon
The Brampton Day Nursery is located on the High Street in the picturesque village of Brampton.

It provides high-quality childcare in a welcoming, stimulating and caring environment.

The nursery building provides a home from home ethos and each light and airy room is equipped with natural furnishings to a very high specification for the individual age groups they provide for.

It supports children’s interests using the Early Years Foundation Stage and Schematic Play and underpins all care and learning using the Characteristics of Effective Learning.

Staff place high importance on open-ended, heuristic resources and each room is equipped to reflect this; they pride themselves on a child centred and creative curriculum.

At The Brampton Day Nursery, staff are extremely passionate about outdoor learning and endeavour to spend a large part of the day outside; this may be in the impressive nursery garden, where they use "forest school principles" or on a walk in the local area.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team at Brampton Day Nursery have been fantastic at taking the time to get to know our son along with his likes and dislikes, which has really helped him to settle. The manager is also great, she always makes the time to answer any questions we have. It's clear that she genuinely cares and gets
to know each child. Communication between the staff is great, which is reassuring knowing that information we give is passed across to the rest of the team. Receiving the newsletter at the end of the week is also lovely, with photos of what they have been up to.
We chose this nursery as we felt that it had great resources (particularly the garden), and that the staff seemed really competent and caring, and we are really happy with our choice.

Lovely setting and the staff are just wonderful. Have so much trust and peace of mind sending my son here 5 days a week. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Leah & Jess are fantastic and my son is very happy here and settled very quickly.

Amazing nursery, my daughter is so comfortable at her new nursery and I couldn't be happier to have made the change from her old one. So far had a brilliant experience since September. Staff are lovely and really easy to communicate with.

The team are absolutely amazing. They're so attentive and truly take the time to get to know your child with genuine care and affection. They're always available if you need to call or ask questions, and it honestly feels like we're raising our little one together. I cannot fault them and we feel lucky
that our son is in their care.


Thank you very much!

We have had an amazing experience with Brampton Day Nursery. Both of our children have attended the nursery and we have always been so impressed with the level of care provided. Every member of staff we have dealt with has been so wonderful - they are so attentive and caring towards the children, and
it is very clear that they take time getting to know their individual personalities. Communication from the nursery is personal and thorough. The facilities are brilliant - the forest school is what drew us towards Brampton Day Nursery as our children are both very into outdoor play, and it does not disappoint! The children spend a lot of time outdoors doing various structured activities as well as plenty of free play. The nursery itself has a lovely and engaging set up in each room and always appears very clean and well maintained. We recommend this nursery to anyone who asks, and would never want to go anywhere else!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Significant effort and attention was put in to help our son settle in and to reassure us. It is unfortunately not nursery policy to offer settling sessions for longer than an hour, but we were offered several additional sessions when our son struggled to settle. Communication is excellent and we are
invited to call as often as we like to help us feel comfortable.
We are very familiar with the friendly staff and a weekly newsletter is sent out which is great for keeping us informed about what is going on at the nursery and what the menu is each week, as well as photos of our son engaging with activities.
There is a varied and engaging schedule of activities whilst maintaining a consistent routine each day. The staff make an effort to get to know your child and allow them to follow their own interests.
There is a good handover in person about how each day has gone including sleep, nappies and eating habits.
The management are diligent and professional.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the right place for our child. The staff are not only highly trained and professional, but they are also genuinely caring, patient, and attentive to each child's individual needs.
Our little one has grown in confidence, developed new skills, and made
wonderful friends. The daily activities are creative, engaging, and thoughtfully planned to nurture both learning and play.
The environment is bright, safe, and welcoming, with plenty of stimulating resources. Every member of the team goes above and beyond to create a warm "home-from-home" atmosphere.
We couldn't be happier with the care our child receives - it's clear that every child is valued and encouraged to shine. We are so grateful to have found such a special place.

Our daughter finishes in August 2025 with TBDN, having been there from 7 months old.
At all times, throughout periods of changes at the nursery. They have always held a high level of care and communication. My daughter had loved every minute being there and so have we.
My son will now be heading
there in October this year and we look forward to the upcoming years he will enjoy going there.
Could not speak any more highly of our experience. Brilliant team and thank you very much for the continued support.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at The Brampton Day Nursery for just over a year, since he turned one, and we couldn't be happier with his experience. He runs into nursery with a smile on his face, is still smiling when we collect him, and has learned/developed so much during his time there.


The staff are wonderful,

professional and seem to genuinely care for the children. We always get a comprehensive handover at the end of the day which I appreciate. They were fantastic at helping him settle when he first started the nursery, and helped him to navigate the arrival of his baby sister.


The outdoor facilities are especially good for an active, energetic toddler - with an obstacle course, sandpit and water play, amongst other things.


It's also worth noting that there's air conditioning inside, which has eased my mind during the recent heatwave!

We have two children at The Brampton Day Nursery - and both absolutely love it. Our eldest was more hesitant when he joined almost 3 years ago, but the staff were incredible at helping him settle. Our youngest has just gone from strength to strength there, growing in independence. It's amazing to see
how much the staff care about them too - celebrating their successes and milestones. They really aren't just providing childcare, but a foundation for a childhood, and I can't thank them enough.

Could not recommend Brampton Day nurseries anymore. My son has thrived here and the staff have been so kind not just to my child but also us as parents and I think that is what it's made this place really special.
We will be keeping our son here for preschool because I definitely believe his growth
and development over the last year has grown exponentially and I know in the preschool environment in the forest school environment my son will continue to thrive
The staff genuinely really care activities always very and it's really fun at the end of the week to see the weekly roundup newsletter
All the children with big bright smiles as a first-time mum it's very reassuring to know that my son is in a safe caring environment

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My oldest son started TBDN in September last year, and I couldn't write more positively about his experience being settled into nursery. The exact same experience was had with my youngest son when he joined in January, even letting me into the room to help settle and call as many times as I felt necessary,
they make you so at ease, pay attention to detail and really get to know your child. The facilities are beyond brilliant and we really love the weekly sheet where we get to see what our boys have been up to. Also - the menu sounds delicious and they are trying new foods each week which is so lovely to hear about. Every member of staff I've come in to contact with has been so kind, take a very genuine interest in both of my sons. I can't speak highly enough of this nursery.

Amazing nursery. They really make me feel like my child is safe and in good hands. Keep it up guys - you have really taught my daughter a lot and after looking at a few nurseries, this was the one that stood out the most to us as their values and staff were spot on. Very friendly and non judgemental
(you will be surprised what we came across when we were searching.)

The Brampton Day Nursery are such a friendly and nurturing environment for little ones. We are extremely pleased with how they look after our son, and are always confident he is receiving the best care. He comes home with the biggest smile on his face every day, and they give great feedback and advice.
He especially loves all the outside space and opportunities for messy play!

Our son has been at this nursery for the last 2.5 years and it is fantastic. They provide wonderful and varied activities for the children and really help to start the children on the right path of learning and life skills. In particular, our son has been diagnosed with additional needs and I cannot
fault the care, support and guidance we have all been shown as a family since this process begin. Our son absolutely loves going to this nursery and we are so grateful we can leave him knowing he will be receiving outstanding care. Thank you so much to the wonderful manager and all the lovely staff at the nursery, I cannot recommend them enough.

Our little girl is in the under 2's room and couldn't be happier. She has never shed a tear when going in, and the staff make it feel like a second home. We love the weekly sheets reading up about the activities of their week. We love the nursery ethos and can't wait for her to start forest school.
The manager and her team are exceptional in all parent and children matters. We couldn't ask for more.

I’ve really struggled with settling my daughter into a nursery and they have been so amazing, allowed us to do a very phased settling in and are patient with me when I need to regularly call to check in on her, throughout the day. Any concerns are listened to and she seems to be absolutely thriving.
I really was at the point where I didn’t think nursery was an option for us and the support has made such a difference.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for The Brampton Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.976 for The Brampton Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (163 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.976
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Brampton Day Nursery is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
