Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery, Kemble

Staff really helped when he was struggling to settle. Always get lots of updates and a great handover at the end of the day. The only food I see is the tea, which is usually wraps or bagels, with ham or cheese. Not bad, but why I put 4 stars for that. It's a lot of money to spend £700 a month for 3 days a week, including the free hours we get. Not sure how this compares to other nurseries as I didn't look around and went for the one near my work. I have no complaints though, but I'm looking forward to having an extra £700 a month in my bank account! Staff are brilliant and seem to genuinely care and are easy to talk to with concerns. Great nursery. He will miss it.

Brilliant nursery, lovely staff, our son really enjoys it and has developed so well with Gooseberry Bush! The staff are fantastic at devising interactive sessions and the new forest school is a super addition.

For the 7, nearly 8 months my son has been attending this nursery he has had a wonderful time. He is happy going in thanks to the lovely ladies taking care of him and he's happy when I pick him up because he's always had a lovely day and that's all we can really ask for.

Both our children are at the Gooseberry Bush and they have flourished since joining. I know can't imagine us without it. Staff are incredibly supportive and have such great bonds with the children. Any concerns are dealt with promptly and professionally. It really feels like they support you as a parent with things at home as well as in the nursery setting.

Gooseberry is a fantastic nursery. Staff are personable, friendly and warm. Even staff who aren't in my child's room know her name, and say good morning/good bye. They spend lot of time outside and encouraging their interests. I couldn't be happier. I also love that the location is outside of a town, as there are so few people nearby, which feels safer to me. Communication via app is good. Food seems good and my daughter always eats it.

Gooseberry Bush is a great nursery! My son started back in May and has already settled well and that's down to the incredible staff in his room. They take into consideration each child's interests and use that to help them settle!

Gooseberry's have been fantastic nurturers of our daughter; she always has a jolly time and comes home smiling and happy. The staff are great and there is a clear culture of caring for the children, and supporting them (and us) at each new milestone. Thank you!

GB has lovely care staff, really effective facilities for kids, helpful office team and great comms on activities and issues. A super nursery, and have happily have sent both our kids there. It provides such a brilliant extra dynamic and education for our young ones that we can't recreate at home.

It's a really good experience and our kids have been so happy there.

We are so pleased with Gooseberry Bush Nursery for our daughter. She has been at the nursery since 13 months old, and she is thriving there. The staff are all attentive, full of energy and it feels a really safe and happy environment for the children. We love the outdoor space particularly, and are pleased with the activities our daughter does.

Couldn't fault Gooseberry bush at all, all of the staff in the Spikes room really care about the development and advancement of the children, they have a great bond. My son will quite often come home and show off his new skills that he learnt that day. I love how often they take the children outside, it really helps being located at an airport (we now have a plane obsessed child).

Incredible nursery. Lovely staff which understands and embraces individuality. Our daughter has been at nursery since September. Don't think twice about sending your child to Gooseberry Bush Nursery.

I would highly recommend this nursery and am grateful we found such a good one when we moved to the area.

A fantastic nursery, with well-trained and caring staff resulting in a very positive atmosphere for the children. They are kept busy with a variety of interesting activities and supported through their learning journey from their earliest stage.

We love that children are presented with so many opportunities for outside play, craft activities and taken on little walks to explore beyond the setting. All of this excellent care is provided in the most safe and secure environment. Thank you Gooseberry Bush!

Most of all, I find Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery, Kemble to be extremely trustworthy and safe which puts my mind at rest knowing that he is having a wonderfully fun time in an environment he can thrive.

We are so pleased with the care at Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery. The staff are amazing and my child loves it there. They have been amazing with his food allergies, which unfortunately other nurseries cannot accommodate. I'd highly recommend them.

Our daughter currently goes to the nursery, so did her two brothers before her. All my children have loved their time at Gooseberry Bush and have thrived in their development. Each day she is happy to go into nursery and loves the staff, they take the time to get to know her and use her interests to lead her development.

They go outside every day in all weathers. The facilities are not particularly photogenic, but that doesn't matter to a child. The only minor issue is that our child was moved out of the baby room very quickly without transition period (due to illness) and so he didn't settle at drop-off for months. However, the nursery were then very willing to do much more gradual transition to the next room which worked brilliantly.

Our daughter has been at Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery since the start of the Covid lockdown and we are constantly impressed and admiring of what a wonderful place they have created. We feel completely confident in their standards of care, which take a practical and reassuring approach so that we never need to question or worry about her care or their decisions. They have equipped our daughter with all the skills she needs to start school this year and meanwhile she has had the most fabulous, stable and enjoyable time here for over nearly four years. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery, it is unpretentious and bursting with staff who in our opinion are heroes. Our daughter has formed a wonderful friendship group and appears to have a very kind and relaxed approach to managing relationships, which they have nurtured. We shall be very sad to leave when our daughter goes to school this year, as the Gooseberry Bush has been our unwavering guide for all these years (and she eats everything they offer her!).
