Our son has been attending Mary Poppins for 18 months, since he was 1, and he absolutely loves going! He is always happy when he walks in the door and has a big smile on his face when we pick him up! The staff are so supportive, friendly and we feel very comfortable that our son is being very well looked after during his days there especially following some recent health issues - staff were mindful of his new diet needs and stayed in touch whilst he was off nursery briefly which was really kind. His development has come on in leaps and bounds over the time he's been attending Mary Poppins and I would recommend them to any parents looking to send their child to a family focused, caring and friendly nursery!
Our children are/were happy to go to nursery and speak fondly of the staff. The team create a warm, nurturing environment where they feel safe, supported and excited to learn. My eldest is now in primary school, and Mary Poppins prepared him exceptionally well for that transition.
The staff and management are approachable, helpful, honest and transparent, which gives us real peace of mind as parents. It's also incredibly reassuring to see that several team members have been there for many years, reflecting the stability and good environment within the nursery.
As our third child is about to start, we feel confident in our choice, despite some sadness that our older children's favourite member of staff is leaving.
We're grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to other families.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review.
We're so pleased to hear that your children have been happy and have such fond memories of their time with us. Creating a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn is at the heart of everything we do, so...
My eldest recently started school following on from Mary Poppins and he was in such a brilliant place to start both socially and academically.
My youngest has recently started back in October and has settled in so well with the team in the baby unit which really put my mind at ease.
I would always recommend Mary Poppins to any of my friends and family looking for a nursery.
It's wonderful to hear how positively both of your children have experienced their time at Mary Poppins. It means a great deal to know you've always felt such confidence in the team-that trust is incredibly important to us.
We're especially pleased to...
Amazing nursery team and staff. Really a home from home for my little boy which was so important to me. A huge range of skills and knowledge from staff which supports children's learning, development and most importantly ensures children are happy. Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.
Knowing that your little boy feels so settled and that the nursery feels like a home from home for him is great to hear-that sense of comfort and belonging is something we really strive for every day.
It's wonderful to know you value...
My daughter has settled well at Mary Poppins, the staff in the baby room are attentive and kind and rarely switched to other rooms, so she feels well attached and happy in their care. The activities in the room are always changed round and are creative, nurturing and fun for her. I picked this nursery because it had a warm, family feel to it, rather than a large corporate setting. The nursery staff are knowledgable on her development and what she has done that day, and she has a wide variety to eat whilst at nursery. We are happy with their care for our daughter and look forward to finding out what she has been up to each day. The office staff always keep us informed and are a friendly face in the morning and at pick up, and I love that they know my daughter by name, after just a few months in their care.
It's lovely to hear how well your daughter has settled into the baby room and how happy and secure she feels in the care of the team. It's wonderful to know that the consistency of familiar staff has helped her build those important...
We have been using Mary Poppins for almost 3 years now and don't have a bad word to say. Both our children enjoy attending, the staff are caring and kind to all the children and also to the parents! I would definitely recommend this nursery to a friend.
We love that that you've had such a positive experience with Mary Poppins over the past three years. It means a great deal to know that both of your children enjoy attending and feel happy and settled in our care.
Your kind words about the staff being...
I'd score 6 stars if I could. Everyone at Mary Poppins has always been brilliant for both our children. I always feel welcome during drop off and pickup, and both girls have been very happy during their time at nursery. Made some great friends and have developed really well.
It's also wonderful to know you've felt welcome at...
Ridu has learned a lot since she started going there. She is speaking words, trying to learn new activities, has become more social and always happy to go to the nursery in the morning. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
It's wonderful to see how much...

Meet the Team (1)

My name is Denise Harris, and I have worked at Mary Poppins Nursery since February 1995. During my time at the nursery, I have worked in every room with children of all ages. I began as a Nursery Nurse, progressing over time to Early Years coordinator, senior Nursery Nurse, Deputy Officer in charge and finally to Nursery manager in 2007.
I hold the NNEB qualification, BA (HONS) and the Early Years Professional status Qualification.
As the years have passed, I have gained a real understanding of what a difference excellent child care can make. This is not only to each child who often join us as a baby and flourishes into a confident, active learning, school ready child with skills for life achieved at a pace which is individual to them, not only to each parent who is able to leave their child with the confidence they are being cared for and supported as they would wish, enabling them to return to work with piece of mind but also to the staff team who thoroughly enjoy being with the children in their care and develop into experienced and knowledgeable practitioners.
Sincerely,
Denise Harris BA (HONS)
MANAGER
