  • 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
Both our daughters have found The Brampton Day Nursery to be a hugely warm, positive, nurturing and fun setting to develop in. We visited a number of nurseries but had a really good feeling about The Brampton Day Nursery - the lovely setting and the staff. It has been a really important part of our
girls' lives - both really look forward to going in, come out smiling and are full of stories about their day. The mix of creative activities is great to encourage their development and the staff are really attentive and caring and we have total trust in them. The manager is brilliant, always handles any questions proactively and thoughtfully, and sets a really positive tone. Our girls have made really close friends and even though our eldest has started school now, she misses the nursery and loves to visit when we're dropping/picking up our youngest, and is greeted with so much warmth. We will be sad the day our youngest leaves the nursery - it has felt like our extended family. We highly recommend it.

Brampton Day Nursery has been so brilliant for our little one. We’ve just moved to the area and they’ve been really accommodating and understanding. Our little one is settling in really well and she loves her “big nursery”.

We viewed a number of nurseries before we found The Brampton Day Nursery and what a wonderful place it is. Our little boy started part-time in November and from January, he has been going full-time. Bearing in mind he spent over a year at home with me he has settled in fantastically. At first, he found
the drop offs very hard, but after a week of going full-time, he was away and now he can’t wait to get to nursery in the mornings. He always greets the girls with a big smile and walks straight in. It’s so lovely to see. I can’t praise the manager and the team highly enough. What a wonderful nursery and what a wonderful team of lovely, caring ladies. It’s so encouraging to see our little boy enjoying himself and feeling so settled and happy there. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone. If you’re looking for a caring, safe, fun and friendly environment to leave your little one, this is the place. I’m so happy we found you. Thank you for everything you do for our little boy.

When we moved into the area just over 2 years ago, we began our search for a nursery and made a shortlist. We visited the Day Nursery in Brampton first and looked no further! The nursery is set in such a lovely environment - we love how natural everything is, the fact the toys are wooden and the garden
with Forest School was a massive selling point for us. The staff are very kind, attentive and we feel at ease leaving our son in their care. Nothing is too much trouble. Recently, our son has transitioned into the next age of room and had some settling in issues. The staff were very supportive and persevered to help him feel comfortable in his new environment and he is now back to loving going to nursery. He just didn't want to leave his key person from his old room! We love the weekly newsletter where we can see what our son has been up to during the week and also what is coming up in the following week. The photos included are lovely to see. We cannot recommend this nursery enough!

We viewed a few nurseries closer to home but they weren't right for us at all. We were recommended The Brampton Day Nursery, which is further away from us but we were so happy with what we saw online, in the prospectus and how invested the nursery was in the early years learning, that it was an immediate
yes from us. The forest school was a huge bonus and we just felt completely reassured and at ease with the whole nursery environment including the team. Our child has food allergies and we were taken through to the kitchen and shown how rigorous and seriously they take allergies, there was no doubt from us that we wanted our son to attend this nursery.

My daughter started at the day nursery at 6 months old and has enjoyed every single day she has spent at nursery. The staff are always welcoming and my daughter smiles as soon as she sees them at the door each morning. The handovers at the end of each day and the weekly sheet show the wide range of
activities offered and it’s clear the staff are offering activities that are helping to develop play and skills! I would highly recommend the Brampton Day nursery!

We feel extremely grateful to have found a setting for our child that is focused on developing the whole child. We feel relationships are at the heart of this nursery, all staff know our son so well and are invested in supporting him. It feels like a real parent-nursery partnership. The team goes above
and beyond to be inclusive, celebrating and getting involved in a range of events. They invest in a range of wonderfully rich experiences, creating such awe and wonder. Our son is especially fond of the opportunity to join in forest school activities. The transition experience from the baby room to 2-3 room was smooth and reassuring for us all and because of this, he has settled quickly. We always feel well informed, weekly communication is helpful and a real treat to see what our son has been busy doing. We would highly recommend this welcoming setting to others.

Review from Ruk P (Father of Child) published on 13 September 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has had an incredible early learning experience at The Brampton Day Nursery. The manager's leadership at the nursery has been transformational; She recognised that our son needed more care and support to be ready to thrive at school. She personally spent significant time with our son to build
his emotional intelligence and equip him for transitioning to school. Without her, this would not have been possible. Having said this, all of the staff at the nursery are fantastic with the children and parents - they recognise the anxieties that can come with leaving your child at nursery. They are reassuring and attentive, which means that one feels that their child is being looked after with the highest degree of care possible. I would strongly recommend the nursery - it is an outstanding setting with exemplary staff who put the children’s needs first.

Our daughter has been attending The Brampton Day Nursery since March 2021. Originally she was due to join in March 2020 and due to COVID, we postponed the start date and the nursery staff were extremely understanding and accommodating, which is an excellent positive before we had even started. The team
are very friendly and welcoming. Our daughter is always smiling at both drop off pick up, this on its own reflects that my little one is really enjoying her time at nursery - as a parent, this provides reassurance that your child is safe and happy. In addition to this, my little one talks about her activities or things she has learnt (which take us by surprise in a good way), sings new songs she has learnt at nursery - this just goes to show how engaging the sessions are. The Manager is excellent, the way she manages children and parents is remarkable. I would highly recommend them and no doubt would use them again.

The Brampton Day Nursery has been a fantastic first nursery for our daughter. She's loved going there, has made some lovely friends and frequently speaks fondly of the staff. Even during difficult lockdown times, the communication has been excellent and we've always been totally reassured that she's
in the best hands. So sad to leave as we move area, but couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough.

My little boy really enjoys going to this nursery. Staff and management are brilliant. They are always teaching new things and this way really contributes to the development of my son. Also, they are always ready to help and provide advice which might be needed especially for first time mum like myself.
I am extremely grateful to every staff member in this nursery for helping my little boy to grow, develop and improve his skills in different areas.

We’re really happy with this nursery, both our daughters go there. The oldest is in preschool and has learnt so much. The youngest is in the baby room now, and the staff now know both sisters, which are lovely and show it’s a good place as they stick around. The manager is absolutely brilliant, I have
so much faith in her. Her management of the nursery through the pandemic has been amazing. She works tirelessly and knows all the kids and all their quirks. There’s a really creative round of activities linked to real-life each week. The staff are lovely, they seem happy there, and that’s so important as your kids need to be around happy people to thrive. They’ve all done so well to work through the pandemic and make life feel normal for the kids. Well done to all, and thank you!

Fantastic nursery setting. My eldest child has been at the nursery since a year and is due to leave for reception class in September. My youngest child started in the baby room in July 2020. The care both have received at the nursery has been fantastic. The children do a range of activities throughout
the week, lots of outdoor activities including forest school, lots of arts and crafts. They support children in the pre-school room get in preparation for starting reception is also very good. The staff have done a wonderful job of keeping the children’s day-to-day lives as normal as possible during the COVID pandemic, despite it being a difficult time for the staff themselves. Overall, I would highly recommend this nursery.

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.
