Review from E H (Grandmother of Child) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The staff and facilities at Brookvale Nursery are very polite, helpful and respectful.

The facilities are excellent always clean and tidy, the food they give to the children is excellent. I would certainly recommend the Brookvale Nursery to anyone who lives in this area. Our girls have thoroughly enjoyed their time at Brookvale nursery and are always chatting about what they have done and how much they have enjoyed their day and how much fun they have had with the staff and other children. We as grandparents would like to thank the staff and wish them well.

Review from Julie C (Mother of Child) published on 12 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Brookvale Nursery have been absolutely amazing with my child and myself, from the pre visits to my son going into nursery. My child has came on so much since being in nursery. I am so happy, he is very settled and he is really happy there which makes me very happy in my work life knowing my child is settled. The communication with the nursery is amazing and I love the app that is available.

Reply from Amanda Munday, Nursery Manager at Brookvale Nursery

Thank you for your kind words. We do work hard to ensure that children are well settled. It's also great to hear that you find our app useful for communication with staff and hope you enjoy being able to see the progress your child is making, through the observations and photos posted in your profile in the app.

Review from Charlotte W (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little girl has attended this nursery shortly after her first birthday. All staff are like a second family to us. They are so friendly but professional, it’s hard putting your child in someone else’s care but honestly, I wouldn’t send her anywhere else. A lovely learning environment where my daughter has thrived from day one. It will be a sad day when she leaves.

Review from Angela P (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Have been using this nursery since 2018, for preschool and baby room. I feel like my children were/are very well looked after. They have come on a lot with their confidence and communication massively. They also learn a lot in the educational area and general knowledge area.
I will be sending my baby to this nursery when he is 9 months old without any doubts as I feel comfortable that they are safe and well looked after.

I would highly recommend them.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was nine months and she is still there now at four-years-old. I have never had any issues - the staff are so approachable and have a great relationship with my daughter. Great communication and they can never do enough. This nursery has helped her to grow and flourish. Fantastic nursery with amazing staff.

I can't thank the staff at the nursery enough. My daughter has loved every minute of being there. She has developed so much and learnt a lot in the time she has been there. She is sad about not returning in September.

Amazing nursery and staff. Would highly recommend.

Review from P L (Grandmother of Child) published on 4 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My 2-year-old grandson loves going to this nursery. He has made his little friends and relates well to all the staff and is a happy little boy there. There are so many activities for all the children and a diverse range for all individual needs. He enjoys the food and is developing very well in all areas. Staff are very approachable for any concerns arising. I feel extremely satisfied that my grandson is well looked after and safe at this nursery.

Review from Hannah H (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I hold this nursery with the highest regard, we took the decision to move my son from another local nursery, we chose Brookvale after being able to drop in for a visit and loving the atmosphere from the first moment. All of the staff are the friendliest, happiest, warm welcoming nursery workers I have ever come across. It has truly been the best decision to attend this nursery, my child has come on leaps and bounds and has become a happy child Which is absolutely priceless, we can’t Thankyou enough for your support so far,
The space inside is not crowded and the outdoor space and facilities are brilliant.

Paperwork and communication is fantastic too. Overall extremely pleased.

Review from Nicola F (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Absolutely fantastic nursery! My daughter has been attending 3-4 days per week since she was 10 months old. I was apprehensive leaving her from such an early age but the staff have been incredible. She loves every day she spends there and would happily be in 7 days. She has thrived in the time she has spent there and staff have made, what was initially, a difficult transition for myself leaving her, a very pleasant one and I can only praise all the staff- they are a credit to the nursery.

Review from Carmen W (Mother of Child) published on 31 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting here just over a year ago. The staff always keep us informed and included when it comes to her development and the day to day general communication is brilliant. I highly recommend Brookvale Nursery. Your children will be in extremely safe hands and they will also create a little bond with them too which is lovely to see. I also believe the educational aspect is above expectations as they do go above and beyond when it comes to children learning new things. There is never a dull day when my daughter is at nursery, she is always coming home having done something fun, educational and different.

Reply from Jo Burke, at Brookvale Nursery
