Bramble Hall Day Nursery

It's a great nursery.

It's clear the team genuinely care about the children, and that makes all the difference. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery!

she does varied activities and learning each day she attends, she loves the extra curricular activities which are on offer. Highly recommend!

The app allows me to check on my son while at work, the staff regularly do observations about his development and new skills

My son has been going to Bramble Hall for the past 1.5 years, since he was 7 months old, and nothing could convince me to send him to a different nursery. Through his time in the baby and toddler rooms he has been surrounded by love and attention at all times by all the staff. He has developed more than I could have imagined in his speech, mobility and all around social skills. The facilities are great with plenty of room for the children to explore and plenty of activities for them to do including football and baking.

We've been with Bramble Hall since 2022 when our eldest started. He struggled with drop-offs at first, but his key worker was incredible-so patient and kind and he warmed to her very quickly. All the staff are friendly, welcoming, and go above and beyond. As he moved through the rooms, his key worker, who is absolutely brilliant, helpful and friendly, remained his key worker, which gave him great comfort and consistency. Our eldest adores his key worker. Our eldest is now thriving in preschool and absolutely loves it. The kids are always busy, indoors and out, and our eldest loves the extracurricular activities. Now our youngest has joined too-and we're over the moon that our eldest's key worker is our youngest's key worker as well. He settled so quickly and now runs in happily each morning, which says it all. I love getting photos updates of them enjoying their day. A special thank you to two other specific staff members too, you're both amazing and our eldest often mentions you at home. Absolutely fantastic nursery.

Bramble Hall Day Nursery truly stands out as the best nursery in the East Midlands. From the moment we began our search for the right place for our children, Bramble Hall exceeded our expectations with its outstanding service and attention to detail.

The nursery provides a safe, nurturing environment where children are free to explore, learn, and have fun. Many of the staff are parents themselves, which offers a comforting sense of motherly care and understanding.

The option to attend taster sessions was a wonderful bonus and gave our children the chance to settle in with ease-they now genuinely love every part of their nursery experience.

Communication with parents is seamless through the app, and the staff are consistently polite, responsive, and supportive. We always feel informed and reassured.

Bramble Hall offers so much more than just childcare. With enriching activities like Bramble Bakers, forest classes, and yoga sessions, children are encouraged to develop.

Lovely nursery! My son was very clingy before joining and now he is much more confident around other people. He loves to go to nursery and runs through the door without looking back every morning! The food they provide for the children is 5* and I wouldn't wish for my son to go anywhere else. Lots for the children to do and a lovely safe play area for them too. Cannot fault the nursery!

The facilities are clean and well looked after.

I get daily updates on the app, which is easy to use.

Highly recommend this nursery

My child whom can be quite shy and quiet to start with in any new environment and around new people then moved into the toddler room, the change in his confidence and building social and emotional relationships while in this room was amazing alongside everything else and getting him prepared to move into the pre school room where we had no trouble with transitions! He's now preparing himself for big school and i cant thank this nursery enough for everything they've done and offered eg extra curricular activities, friendly staff, welcoming environment, supportive and accomadating when it came to my Child being fussy with deserts for dinner times. Highly Recommended!

Bramble Hall has been an amazing nursery for my son. The staff have all been so great with him since he started as a baby. The things that stand out for me is the choice of activities, the outside space, the extra bits like forest school/baking/sports coaching/yoga and how supportive they are to the whole family. We have an older child with high needs so my youngest goes through a lot and the nursery has really helped my son get through all the challenges that creates. He gets very upset they close on weekends and is always excited to be there. They embrace all the kids favorite things to do and really let them learn things doing what they are excited about. My son has been there 3 years now and it only seems to get better.

Staff are brilliant, never had any problems.

My daughter has just turned 3, she has been at bramble hall since she was 9 months old - I wouldn't have her anywhere else, the staff are homely, kind and considerate to both the children and parents. They support my daughter and me more than I would expect.

My child has been attending Bramble Hall since August 2024 in the Baby room. The nursery building and the staff are extremely welcoming and it has a real homely vibe. We had a great onboarding process and our son settled straight away, 3 days per week. Since January 2025, he has been attending 4 days per week and we're extremely happy with how he has advanced and progressed. Bramble Hall provides so many extra curricular activities, such as Bramble Bakers, Yoga, Forest School and Sports which is great for all children to experience. We are regularly kept up to date with our child's learning and daily activities. The staff are all so friendly and create a happy and safe environment for children to grow. Bramble Hall offers a fabulous food menu meaning our child can try and enjoy lots of new foods. Choosing Bramble Hall was the easiest and best decision we made for our child and we have even put our 2nd child on the list to attend (who isn't yet born!!).

Our daughter is always so excited to go to nursery and tell us all about the things she's done when we pick her up! The staff are always lovely and keep us updated throughout the day! The playrooms and activities are always being updated and my daughter has learnt so much since starting at Bramble Hall.

The team, have responded amazingly to our son's early potty training process, and he is now confident to ask and use the potty with them. The updates throughout the day and the summary at the end of the week are wonderful and any opportunity to attend a parent's evening is just fantastic. I feel very happy knowing our son is at bramble, whilst I have to work, it was a very anxiety provoking time for me as his mum, and I can't thank the team enough, they showed me such warmth and understanding and it just made the whole experience 100% better than I could have ever imagined.

When it came time to choose a nursery for my daughter I was apprehensive, being a first time mum didn't help matters. In this rushed mad world we live in there seems to be less time and attention given to everyone.What I worried about most was that my daughter would be pushed through a nursery system without much care or thought,like a meat processing plant (aka going through the motions).

I needn't have worried though, Bramble hall are exactly what they claim to be, nurturing. I know it sounds corny but I really can't fault them, every time I drop my daughter off she runs in giggling and so excited she forgets I exist (temporarily) no crying, screaming or clinging! And I'm not the only one. The staff are brilliant and honestly care for each child, mine had trouble sleeping when she started but they never gave up trying and even changed the standard practice to suit her for a while until she settled. I would put more but I'm running out of words! 10/10 Bramble hall keep it up!

Our second child is now at Bramble Hall and currently in the baby room. The staff are wonderful and communication has always been excellent. Our little girl's key carer and the other ladies in the baby room do a fantastic job with lots of play time, crafts and outside play too. We really like the fact that meals are cooked on site too. The office staff do a great job responding quickly to any queries and are always very helpful.

Bramble Hall is a fantastic nursery. It has loads of outdoor space, a quiet village setting and wonderful staff. They provide a broad range of activities and both of our children have been very happy there.

My son absolutely loves coming to Bramble hall Day Nursery. The staff are all excellent and really enjoy having the children. I was always hesitant and nervous as a first time mum to send him to nursery, however it exceeded expectations. I love that I am updated throughout the day with his daily activity. When I collect him I get a warm welcome and fully updated on his day, wellbeing, food naps etc. he is always happy playing, I trust that he is always well looked after. He is always clean and happy. Communication is amazing. These were all a massive factors in choosing Bramhall nursery.
