Marlborough Day Nursery has a Review Score of 10 (9.984) out of 10, based on 26 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Marlborough Day Nursery has 84 reviews.
I also appreciate that they often break into smaller groups to go to the sensory room of soft play.
When I pick her up, there is good communication about what she has done during the day, and the feedback often mirrors her behaviour at home so I have full trust in their honesty.
I would recommend Marlborough Day Nursery to anyone.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased to hear that your daughter is happy and thriving with us. It means a lot to know you trust our care and approach. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
Very good nursery, always friendly and energetic in each room my son has been in so far, the admin staff are great and the App they use is very user-friendly and great for seeing how your child is doing throughout the day. Cant recommend them enough.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. It is truly appreciated.
Thank you to everyone.
Wow thank you so much for the wonderful review. Your kind words and high praise mean so much to us! We'll be sure to share your feedback with the staff team.
Since my daughter started nursery here at just 6 months old she hasn't cried once when dropped off, she loves going and all the staff are absolutely brilliant. She is now nearly 3 and thriving in this great environment. The staff are very professional and knowledgeable, but so friendly and caring at the same time. Always communicating well with us parents, and organising great activities for the children daily. I couldn't recommend Marlborough Day Nursery enough!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear how much your daughter loves coming to nursery and that she's thriving in our care. Our team is truly dedicated to creating a nurturing, professional, and engaging environment, and it means the world to us to see this reflected...
Marlborough Day Nursery is a very professional setting. My son is well looked after and they provide regular updates with regards his overall well being. My daughter also attended this setting and they have been very supportive over the years. I will highly recommend. 5 star review is well deserved and I am very pleased. Thanks to the member of staff especially the 3 Nursery Practitioners. We appreciate all that you do.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We're so pleased to hear that both your son and daughter have had positive experiences with us over the years. Our team works hard to provide personalised care and regular updates, so it's wonderful to know that this has made a difference...
I viewed several nurseries and nothing compared to this one! So very happy I could not recommend enough! The staff are what makes it, they go above and beyond to help in any way they can. Thanks for everything!
Thank you so much for leaving us such a lovely review. It's truly appreciated.
My child attends this nursery two days a week and all of the staff across the nursery are so friendly. My child is in the baby room and two of their staff members are just the best. So kind caring and helpful. I feel so happy dropping her off, she's always smiling and already learning so much from her teachers and peers. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone not just because of the staff but also the facilities and resources.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. Your kind words will be shared with the staff team. It's a pleasure looking after your little one.
My son has been with Marlborough Day Nursery for only three months, however, I feel that with that time I can 100% make a solid review, from the minute I walked into look around I knew it was exactly where I wanted him to go, every staff member you meet are very friendly and always greet you. Two staff members in particular in the baby room are amazing girls, so kind and supportive. My son enjoys his day at nursery and always comes home clean, fed and very well looked after!
Thank you so much for leaving us such a lovely review. We are thrilled to hear how happy you are with the care that we are providing!
They are so friendly and lovely! The quality of care given to the children when young, the aid in learning and development as they grow, the variety of activities (especially time spent outside exploring all year round), the quality of the food and the safety and warmth the children feel are second to none. We get regular updates and photographs throughout the day of what they are up to and can see how much fun they are having. Thanks a lot for everything to two particular members of staff! Thanks a lot for your attention! Thanks to all staff.
Thank you ever so much for your kind words and heartwarming review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experiences with us and are delighted that you appreciate our efforts in providing a nurturing environment for your child's learning and development. Your feedback means the world to us, and we're incredibly grateful for your support.
Our son attends the nursery 2 days a week and from the 1st visit, we knew it was the best place for him. The staff can't do enough for us and for him, they always answer any questions and provide us with current feedback throughout the day. Would 100% recommend it.
Thank you immensely for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your son's experience at our nursery has been so positive since day one. Providing a nurturing and supportive environment for both children and parents is at the core of what we do, and we're delighted to know that you feel supported and well-informed by our dedicated team.
We couldn't be happier with the care and learning provided and the amazing facilities this nursery has given our daughter. She started in October at 18 months old and she loves it. We are regularly updated with her progress and photos throughout the day. The food provided is top quality with so much variety. They keep active with their own sports hall and soft play and outside areas and often go on trips into town and to the park. We viewed several in the area before choosing Marlborough and it stood out head and shoulders above the rest. Highly recommend. Staff are attentive and kind and she loves every one of them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. Your kind words are truly appreciated.
Our little girl started at Marlborough Day Nursery in September and she has absolutely loved it. She has progressed so much already, has a new found confidence and genuinely loves to go. As an anxious Mum, I feel they are so reassuring and easy to talk to and ask questions. Everything is well organised, structured and kept to the highest standard. We couldn't be happier with the care that they provide to our daughter.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We are so pleased to hear how happy you are with the nursery. We love having you child with us, and it's lovely to see her progress! Thanks again for taking the time to share such lovely feedback with us!
The nursery experience to date has been all positive.
The key for me is the staff- they are all incredibly positive, and supportive and have a culture of caring.
I will not call out any individuals as it is a team ethos which shines through with each person being friendly and caring.
Thank you to a great team.
Thank you so much for leaving us such a wonderful review, it really means a lot and we are thrilled that your experience with the nursery has been so positive.
My son has been attending the nursery for seven months now and we are more than pleased with his development. He has learnt so many new things. staff has always supported him reaching milestones and communicated well with both me and my husband about any matters. The nursery offers a variety of activities, is well-resourced offering both indoor and outdoor spaces to all children irrespective of age. Food is excellent and cooked at the nursery. Overall we are happy with everything so far.
Just would like to say a massive thank you to all the fantastic staff at Marlborough Day Nursery. Very efficient reception team that I would especially like to thank! We are very pleased with our decision to enrol our beloved son into Marlborough Day Nursery in May! We have noticed a tremendous confidence increase in things where our son was a little hesitant. For example, he started walking on his own and usually, it takes a while for them to walk with confidence on their own but we do believe with the nursery's help and us working with him at home showed that we are a team and have our boy's best interest at heart. We are very pleased that he makes friends and is growing his social environment and learning how to share with his friends. We do appreciate each and every staff member for helping our son explore new things and contributing to his development. We are very pleased to see how well he has adjusted to the nursery!
are thrilled at how much your little one has progressed. We will be sure to share your lovely feedback with the staff team. Thank you again for taking the time to leave us this review, it's truly appreciated.
My son has been going here for three months now and I feel really happy with the care he is given whilst at nursery. They keep me informed on what he’s been doing that day along with eating, sleeping and changes. The staff are always lovely and feedback in person on collection. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery. Having multiple rooms/areas of play is a big bonus.
Wow! We can't thank you enough for your lovely reviews. It means so much to us. We'll be sure to share your feedback with the staff as well. Thank you again
My child looks forward to attending and I am kept updated on progress
I would recommend it to anyone
Since starting in November the staff have been brilliant in baby one
I trust them which is incredibly important
Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We really appreciate your kind words, and are thrilled to hear that your child looks forward to attending the Nursery!
Our daughter has been attending Marlborough Day Nursery for around 3 months. Every single member of staff is incredibly polite, and welcoming and always has a smile on their face. We really appreciate the effort they go, to develop and progress the children. We really couldn't be happier with the service they provide.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. It's much appreciated.
Teachers are supporting our little ones. The nursery is clean, food is good. They have few activities on special days, outside playground, very easy to communicate with staff. It's a place where our kids are learning new things in a kind and safe manner. I'm happy to choose this nursery for both of my kids.
Thanks so much for the lovely review. It's really appreciated. We're really glad you chose us for both your children.
The staff are always keen to help and are always going above and beyond. Throughout the day they are always putting on lovely bits and bobs to the app so we are able to see what he is getting up to. I know my baby is well looked after and I have great trust in what they do with him!
My child has some food allergies which the nursery quickly accommodated too and made sure he was getting all the right foods.
There are so many parts of the nursery he gets to explore which enable him to develop physically and mentally.
We were delighted to receive such a lovely review. We love looking after your little one and seeing the progress that he is making is always so satisfying. We are really pleased that you're happy with so many aspects of the care we provide him. Thank you again.

Meet the Team (7)
I have over 20 years’ experience in early years; a career that I am very passionate about. Marlborough is where I trained and qualified and it just feels like home! After a 2-year break, I rejoined the team in 2012 to take on the role of Officer in Charge alongside Lisa. Together, we lead a professional team of dedicated practitioners, who share our passion in providing the very best outcomes for the children in our care.
I began my early years career in 1999, starting with the company as a trainee straight out of school! In addition to my early years qualifications, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience which enabled me to progress to Officer in Charge in 2010. Children thrive from strong relationships and knowledgeable adults who can really tune into their individual needs; I believe our small group approach really does facilitate this!
I began working at Marlborough in 2009 as a trainee. Since then I have not only progressed in my roles up to Deputy Officer in Charge, but have also gained a number of early years qualifications from NVQ level 2 and 3 right up to Level 7. A particular highlight is achieving my Early Years Teacher (EYT) status. My passion is working with 3 years plus, preparing them for their next journey in education, through challenging activities and opportunities whilst using my knowledge and experience to nurture each child based on their individual needs and development.
I first started my early years career back in 2001, after leaving school and achieving my level 3 diploma. I have worked in many different early years settings, but my passion has always been with pre-school. I bought this knowledge and skill set with me when I joined Marlborough in 2021, as the leader of the newly created pre-school provision, Foundation Upper. I work closely with Kayleigh to lead our dedicated team to help every individual child flourish and become ready for their next chapter in learning.
I started working at Marlborough Day Nursery in 2016 as a student. Within my 7 years here, I have gained my early years level 3 qualification, taken on room leader roles and progressed into a senior management role. I have experience within all ages of the nursery, and a great passion to support the children with their holistic needs and development. I believe that every child is unique and the reason I love my job is that I get to help each one discover their own strengths and talents and nurture those traits through my educational approach.
I began my journey at Marlborough Day Nursery in 2021 as a nursery apprentice; I was instantly invested and wanted to learn every aspect of the role. I studied hard and very quickly gained my level 3 diploma. Keen to progress, I’ve worked my way through the room leader role to my current position of Senior Nursery Officer. My expertise is in the care and development of babies; they learn so much in their first 1001 days, and I’m so privileged to be involved at this crucial time.
| have over 33 years’ experience in childcare and started at Marlborough Day Nursery on its first day of opening in 1990. I have worked as the nursery manager for many years until deciding to reduce my hours due to family commitments, and at this point I took on the role as administrator. My strengths lie with helping parents with funding. Marlborough Day Nursery is very much a family business and I am proud to be part of its journey.
