Review from J B (Father of Child) published on 16 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending the nursery from around 11 months old and is now in the Apple Room. He's always excited about going into nursery to play with his friends. The staff are always friendly and happy to chat on drop-off and pick-ups and he's really settled in well since moving up to the Apple Room. He loves being able to play outside in the garden area and taking part in all the activities that he and his friends get up to. The nursery is always very clean and tidy as well.

Overall Experience
My daughter attended the nursery from 11 months - 4 years and absolutely loved it. My son is currently attending in the plum room. The nursery is always clean and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. They do so many activities with the children and spend so much time outside in their lovely outdoor area.

Would highly recommend!

All the staff are always so warm and welcoming.
My little one has settled in really quickly and loves the activities that are organised and playing with his friends

His favorite part is the garden space, it is huge and they are out there most days.

Overall Experience

Both my children have been part of the nursery starting in the baby room all the way to apples (preschool). My youngest still attends the preschool, and my oldest started school this September. Verwood day nursery has been amazing, my daughter was so ready to start school and when the day came she went straight in confident and didn't look back!

The staff at verwood day nursery are very understanding and supportive, they take time and really connect with your child. My girls are always exited to share their stories from the weekend with their key workers. (Even the one at school now) aswell as giving your child such a fun and educational time whilst they are at the setting, they also implement the things you are trying to achieve at home, they are always happy to help with advice and guidance if there is anything your struggling with.

So pleased my children have had great care and such an amazing start in life! Would highly recommend!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at the nursery for around 20 months, she loves every minute. She has so much fun and has made many friends. We have only left as I have new job and im very sad to see her go. My daughter loved all the outdoor space, there is never no end to what they do and the day trips they go on. Such a lovely place

Overall Experience

Our two and a half year old just thrives at nursery, she absolutely loves it!! The staff are fantastic and choice of food is great. Our daughter always comes home happy having had a day full of fun and learning. As a parent you always have concerns about leaving your child in the care of others, but we have nothing to worry about here

Review from Angela I (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been at Verwood Day nursery since she was 9 months old, she is now 3.5 years old. She looks forward to going to nursery and loves telling me all about her day when she finishes. When I raised concerns at one point, these were thoroughly investigated and consistent communication throughout.

During the summer, when it was extremely hot, it was lovely to turn up and the children were all playing under the huge willow tree at the bottom of the beautiful garden. The were cool, happy and out in nature. I couldn't be happier, as a parent, that my daughter is in the best hands.

Overall Experience

Great nursery, my child has lots of fun there. Only thing I'd add is some more learning. There's a huge outside space with different spaces for different playing activities. They have tables inside for play or food. My child eats well, having more vegetables than she has at home!

Review from Hattie L (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a first time mum, choosing a nursery is a tough process, and a lot of trust is needed in the facility to take care of your child.

I couldn't praise Verwood more. My daughter has truly flourished since starting there in October, she has become more confident and plays so well with others. She is learning from others and the staff clearly care about each child in their care. Fantastic nursery where your child is their own person and not just a number. There's a reason it's so popular!

Review from Kelly B (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my children have attended this nursery and we absolutely love it. I 'shopped' around for nurseries when my first born was ready to go, and although there were many options closer to where we live, VDN just felt 'right'. From the warm welcome, expansive outdoor facilities, and in-house chef to the excellent team of care givers, it was the perfect fit for us. We love this nursery and our kids always felt comfortable and confident being there.

Overall Experience

Both my daughters attend Verwood day nursery and they absolutely love their time there. The staff are caring and considerate and always go out of their way to help you. One of the reasons we chose this nursery was because as soon as we stepped inside to view it, it felt like a home from home for our children. Another massive bonus for us is the outside space; something that is extremely important to us. My eldest daughter will be going to school next September and although she is looking forward to this next step, I know she will miss her time at the nursery.

Review from Joanna W (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have used this nursery for both my children who started there when they were roughly 1 year old. The staff all are very friendly and caring towards the children. I noticed good development after they started at Verwood Day nursery, their social skills and confidence grew, they were happy to be around other children and adults. I would definitly recommend this nursery. There doesn't seem to be a high staff turnover, so you get to know the staff really well, as do the children. I always think it's a good sign when the staff stay for many years, it must mean it's a good place to work, and they must value their staff. Which in turn provides better continuity of staff for the children.
