My little one has so much fun while she's there, and her development has come on in leaps and bounds, I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Fantastic place, our child loves it here, and I couldn't think of anywhere else in the area that I would prefer. The staff are great, and thier recent change to using the app has only made things better!
Both of my children have attended Marlborough nursery, and I would full-heartedly recommend it. The staff are amazing, and my kids were always happy and felt comfortable and cared for. They go above and beyond to cater for any needs. Their learning journey excellent, and it was great to see them develop and flourish every day.
My grandson attended the nursery, the staff were really good picking up that there was something about grandson that needed looking into. They bought in someone to watch him and got the ball rolling to help him, the authorities think he has adhd/autism so their keeping an eye on him to help him transition to school. Thanks to the nursery for not giving up on him I'm forever grateful.
Both of my daughters have attended this nursery and loved every minute. The staff have always been so welcoming, fun and caring. Both of my children at times have needed alternative measures put in place for some health conditions and personal reasons and they have always been so flexible and willing with their approach to adapt to their requirements. I would highly recommend this nursery - they have a great amount of space. The sensory room, soft play and role play areas were always a favourite of my daughters. The journals created whilst your child attends are something to treasure too, we love looking through them even now as they can remember all the fun activities and bonds they made with the members of staff and other children.
Our children joined Marlborough day nursery in April 2019 and both of them have a developmental delay. I cannot praise the nursery enough for all the hard work and dedication they have done to help our children walk. They're now both walking and I believe this has a lot to do with the nursery environment. Both my partner and I are very happy to leave our children here and would recommend the nursery.
My son attends this nursery. It’s absolutely clean and teachers are lovely. Seems to have improved since he started as a child with speech delays. We are very pleased.
My son has only been attending Marlborough Day Nursery for just over one month and I am already so amazed at how well and quickly he settled in, especially since he spent the first year of his life with just me! The girls all treat him as if he was part of their family, the care and attention is impeccable and I get to go to work without feeling any extra worry about leaving my child. The girls are always keeping in contact with us and there are plenty of pictures and updates about what my child has been doing during the day, which is always really nice to see and hear. They don't rush you out of the door and are always very attentive if you're having any issues. My son absolutely loves it and he shows me this every morning when he puts his arms out to the girls to take him from me. I would 100% recommend this setting if you are looking for a reliable, caring, nurturing, friendly and attentive placement for your precious children.
Our 2 daughters go to Marlborough Day Nursery (our eldest since she was approximately 18 months old and she is now almost 4, our youngest who is only 10 months old has been going for the last 3 months). The staff are great and my daughters love it. As my eldest has grown she has moved through different rooms and key workers, each time the transitions have been planned out and the focus has been about her experience which I love. There are so many activities which are planned in to keep all the children entertained including the great soft play room, sensory room, gardening, cooking, going for walks to the parks, etc. My favourite part includes the variety of teaching also encouraged, learning French and Spanish is something I never expected but welcome. My youngest daughter has settled in well and is always happy when dropped off in the morning. I highly recommend Marlborough Day to anyone and I'm glad we took the recommendation from our neighbours after their children also attended many years earlier.
I chose Marlborough Day Nursery to care for my daughter and then my son, because of its excellent reputation; friends and family had previously used it, and it’s practically been going for years, that’s got to say something, right! The nursery itself absolutely blew me away, it by far exceeded my expectations. The staff are very knowledgeable and professional, everywhere seems extremely well organised, not to mention spotlessly clean and ultimately my children were very settled, happy and well cared for!!
The facilities are amazing; the younger group rooms are small and homely, yet they have additional spaces for the children to explore, like sensory and soft play rooms. The indoor play theatre is a huge asset and what they lack on outdoor space, it is definitely made up for in here. There is a dedicated bike track with bikes and scooters, PE equipment, climbing apparatus and smaller play equipment.
Fantastic nursery with amazing and very caring staff! Always doing something new and helping the children learn!
My eldest attended Marlborough, he loved it! He started September 2012-2016 then he left for school. My youngest started 2015-present. She loves it too. We’ve had a few issues with my daughter's behaviour but the staff have stood by and helped improve it. They work as a team and that really reflects at the nursery. Friendly but professional staff, trustworthy, reliable, honest and welcoming. The nursery is a safe, fun and clean environment.
Both my children have attended Marlborough Day Nursery. My youngest is currently there now, it is an outstanding nursery with amazing activities on offer that keep my child engaged and busy! The staff are so welcoming and caring and will go out of their way to make your child feel happy and secure, I feel 100% confident in leaving my child at Marlborough as I know she is in good hands, the environment is safe, clean and a joy to be in. I am always updated with my daughters development with things she has achieved and next steps, I would definitely recommend Marlborough day nursery.
My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was just 12 weeks (now 3 1/2) and it’s been an amazing 3 years. They have helped with her development massively including toilet training. The team in all rooms we have come across have been fantastic especially one lady who my daughter absolutely adores. Clean, great meals, very creative and informative. Would 100% recommend. Thank you Marlborough Day Nursery.
Both my children attend Marlborough nursery and I couldn’t recommend them enough! My daughter has been attending for 1 year now, after having to pull her out of another nursery. Myself and my husband are so happy at the way she settled and has developed and continues to be constantly stimulated in such a fresh exciting environment. My son also attends which he only started two weeks ago, his speech has come on no end, he has made a lot of bonds already and he is so excited to tell me what he’s done daily! All the staff are so welcoming and friendly. We couldn’t possibly ask for anything more at Marlborough, we’re very happy and both our children are extremely happy here also.
My daughter previously had an unpleasant nursery experience at another establishment, I was really worried about her settling in at Marlborough and expressed my concerns. From her very first settling in session my daughter was so well cared for. All the girls at Marlborough have been genuinely caring and attentive toward her and she now talks about nursery in a positive way. I'd have no hesitation recommending Marlborough Day Nursery to friends and family. It's truly fabulous!
My son has recently started here at Foundation level after moving from a nursery in a different area. I am impressed with this nursery, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and helped my son settle in quickly. He loves his routine including wearing his slippers and picking his own breakfast, and has already learned so much. He surprised me last week when he started counting in Spanish, a skill he has solely picked up from this nursery, which is fantastic as he has only been there 2 weeks! The layout of the setting is also very good. It feels clean and welcoming, and I am pleased to have picked Marlborough Day Nursery for my son and would highly recommend it.
Every single aspect was a million times better than we had been used to at the previous nursery.
Our son really looks forward to coming to nursery and he has made some lovely friends with both other children and also staff. All staff are brilliant, know who everybody is and genuinely want the best for the children whereas at the previous nursery it was clear that some people were just in a 'job'! Our son loves telling us the adventures he has been on and what he has done with the other children. The nursery teaches respect and that is so important to us as a family. We have since moved house meaning that to take our son to the nursery is a 20 minute round trip where we could have a nursery in the village we live and work but we couldn't ask for any better than Marlborough and any more children we have will go there too.
Highly recommend!
I have never been so reassured to leave my child with Malborough day nursery. They are all so helpful, friendly, kind, loving and professional. Whatever problem we have had. They have reassured me. Every new phase she moves into, they have adapted to encourage her to bring her on emotionally and her skills. My daughter started to have an allergy with dairy. Once we brought it up they changed her menu to accommodate. I'll be really sad for her to leave to start school, as I am when she leaves a room to move up to the next. Thank you for everything.
My daughter is currently here full-time and has been since she was 8 months. The staff are absolutely fantastic and even those from other rooms know her name and are always friendly and welcoming. The facilities are brilliant and the team have made great utilisation of the space available. My daughter has learnt a lot here and I really cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

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.
