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 have found Marlborough Day Nursery excellent in all aspects, the communication from staff is second to none. I am always updated via the app on what both my children have been doing throughout the day, via group posts or observations, the photos attached really show the work effect of the staff team in both their rooms, showing what activities they have taken part in, the creativeness of the staff is brilliant and gives my children the best possible opportunities to learn and develop. If I have anything relating to my children I need to pass over, I'm confident that this will get taken on board and followed through. The best part is seeing my children happy and enjoying what they are doing.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review and for all the kind words contained therein. We're so pleased that you're happy with the communication, the app and the opportunities your children are receiving, Thanks again!
Worth every penny. Thank you, ladies, you're one of a kind.
Thank you ever so much for such a lovely review. We're really touched by all your kind words. We loved hearing that your little one can't stop talking about the nursery, and even sings about it!
Our daughter has had 3 key people since starting at Marlborough Day and we have felt that each key person has genuine care for her and are invested in her development. They have always been open to chats when we need them or we need a behaviour addressing etc. The kitchen staff were very accommodating when we needed to restrict/remove certain food items from our daughter's diet for intolerance testing and all changes were logged on the parent app which is a great tool! Management are also so friendly and helpful whenever we have a query or just need a chat about something. Every member of staff we encounter during pick ups and drop offs are always so friendly and will always greet you and your child (whether they directly deal your child or not). Having their days documented on the app and seeing pictures of the kids having fun and learning makes me sure that we chose the right setting for our daughter. She is developing so well. I particularly appreciate the clear visibility of the monthly curriculum.
We're thrilled to have received your review, with so many kind words and compliments about the care, nursery staff, kitchen staff, the app we use etc. Thank you very much!
My son loves it so much there: there's a clear variety in activities and I've watched his motor skills develop at an incredible rate considering they give him so many chances to develop and grow. He's happy to go to the staff who are always clearly delighted to see him and I feel that he's in a safe, warm environment.
The food is good quality and varied enough that my son's getting a chance to explore new tastes and textures as he continues to wean and learn about healthy food which helps the home journey too. Marlborough Day Nursery is the best place to give him the best start in life: I'm glad I chose to send him here.
Wow! Thanks so much for your kind review. We are thrilled to hear how happy you are with our nursery. We love having your little one at the setting! Thanks again, your lovely comments mean a great deal.
My son has a severe disability and has attended Marlborough Day Nursery for nearly 3 years now. I will be forever grateful to all the amazing ladies who put so much effort into taking care of him and always educating themselves on how to help him the best. He absolutely loves it there, he learnt loads and made incredible progress with all the support from all the Marlborough staff. I cannot recommend Marlborough Day Nursery enough!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a lovely review. It is truly appreciated by us all. We have loved seeing the progress and development your little one has made!
Both my boys (4 years old and 19 months old) go to Marlborough Day Nursery and I've been really happy with it. My eldest asks when he's going again all the time and absolutely loves it, he runs in smiling every day he goes. He absolutely loves coming! All of the staff are incredibly helpful and caring and I love the updates in the parent's app!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. We love hearing that your oldest child is always asking about when he's next attending nursery!
The nursery have been amazing, my son absolutely loves his 2 days there. He gets to experience lots of great themed activities and since he started he has come on in leaps and bounds. The staff are all brilliant and friendly, I love getting ideas from them on how to help my son at home to keep learning with these fun activities.
We're so pleased to hear how happy you are with the nursery. It's so lovely for us when we get to see the children in our care grow and thrive! Thank you for your lovely comments.
All the team at Marlborough have really exceeded expectations in supporting our son and his specific needs, taking care of his own development path and working hard on it every day. It's very clear how all staff really cares about the babies, they are great professionals and very attentive and supportive, it feels a big family.
Also nursery facilities are absolutely amazing, always something different to stimulate babies and kids and support their learning.
Communication with staff is also amazing and constant, making it really easy to follow what happens every day.
The menu has a great variety of food and the team have supported our young baby with a variety of textures and bespoke adjustments too.
We are so happy about it, special thanks to the team in Baby Room.
Thank you so much for your lovely words, we're so pleased to hear how happy you are with us! We love having your little one with us! Thanks again.
My little boy has been attending for 12 months and absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing, always giving feedback and my little boy is always happy to see them as well as his new friends. The activities they do are brilliant and it's lovely to keep up to date with his day through the app. I can't thank them enough for being kind, keeping him safe and being friendly to me with any questions I have.
Gosh, thanks very much for your lovely comments. They mean so much to all of our staff team. Much appreciated.
Every nursery day she is jumping up and down ready and raring to go!
They have really helped with her speech and eating as she has really struggled with her eating.
I can't fault them for absolutely anything. 10/10.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us this review. We just love hearing that your little one is raring to go! Thank you again.
My son would come every single day if he could. He absolutely loves coming to Marlborough Day Nursery and the staff are fantastic with him. He talks about the staff all the time at home and can't wait to go back the next day to see them and all his new friends.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, we're so pleased to hear how happy your little one is with us. We love having him at our nursery as well.
My son has been attending the nursery since he was 9 months old. All staff enjoy his company, and he has grown massively over the last year. His confidence has blossomed, and so have his personal development skills. The staff are amazing and give good positive feedback about his day. I couldn't ask for much more for my son. When he arrives, he is no longer interested in me, just everyone else, but I love having him run into my arms when I collect him at the end of the day.
We can't thank you enough for your lovely comments; it's truly appreciated!
My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 9 months old. She has learnt and progressed massively in her time since she has been there. The staff are amazing. Always giving positive feedback and my daughter is always happy to see the staff as well as her new found friends. Marlborough Day Nursery is a fantastic start to my daughter's life and I wouldn't have sent her anywhere else.
However the staff and nursery have completely turned her around in a matter of weeks (only attends two mornings a week), she’s now happy, excited and runs into nursery which is lovely to see. The staff really do give each child the correct amount of personal time to settle them in as well as letting them play with others.
Anybody who is considering this nursery, really do give them a go, having been to another in the area, my daughter is a completely different child after being here and has thrived. Cannot thank them enough!
But most of all both my little ones are more than happy to spend the day here and look forward to attending.
As shift workers, we also find the nursery very accomodating and will help find space at very short notice! Highly recommended if you are considering this as a place for your child.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marlborough to other parents, it is a fantastic nursery.
My daughter has been attending this nursery for over a year and she absolutely loves it. Completely allergy-friendly (little one is allergic to peanuts, milk and eggs). She can’t wait to go to nursery every week and has made lots of friends. Staff are brilliant especially given current circumstances! 10/10!
As a first time mum, I was always dreading the day I had to go back to work and leave my 'baby'.... but I am SO glad I found Malborough Day Nursery.
From the moment I was able to visit (pre lockdown) I fell in love with it. I came away and knew that it was the place for my son. They just offer so much to help progress the children, from babies right upon until school. Their care is amazing too and tailored to every child. I never doubt that my son will receive the care and attention he needs, and in just 2 months we can see, as well as other family members, the developmental changes and progress that nursery has brought on in him. The ladies are brilliant with my son and that is shown in his excitement when he sees them in the morning. I also love the new Famly app, I feel included in his day whilst I am at work. I really would recommend Marlborough Day Nursery to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much.
Was very scared to let my 3-month-old daughter attend so early, but Marlborough Day Nursery really did put me at ease very quickly. The ladies in the baby room were friendly and knowledgeable, my little girl always smiled for them and never cried when I left her. The nursery uses an app to keep you updated on the general stuff throughout the day, I was a little sceptical about it at first, but quickly liked it as I got photos of what she is up to during the day etc. This always made my day. Can not fault the nursery one bit, and would recommend anytime.
My son feels happy and safe and looks forward to going to nursery. His development is astounding. The nursery have dealt with the Coronavirus in a safe, professional but caring way. I feel comfortable and confident in the cleanliness and care.
All of the staff care deeply about the children, their home life and progress. We moved a year ago but haven't moved our son to another nursery as he is settled and it'd be hard to beat the service care and value for money we receive at Marlborough Day. I would recommend to everybody.

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.
