I’ll keep this short. The nursery is of the highest quality, facilities are fantastic but what makes it is the staff. They are all so friendly and genuinely care for the children and the family as a whole. My wife and I feel genuinely lucky to have found Darling Buds. Thank you all.
Thank you Darling Buds Nursery.
They have helped teach both my children to walk, run, potty train, eat independently and become clever little people.
The staff are very, very experienced and mostly long term employed staff so I have known them for 5 years now and I would highly recommend Darling Buds on this basis.
If you are seeking a safe and stimulating environment for your child to thrive and grow in, Darling Buds is the place to send them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the staff and management there.
She is now 4 and she absolutely loves going.
She’s happy, safe, looked after and loved.
I can not recommend this nursery enough.
Staff are fantastic.
She eats foods she would of never eaten with me and loves them.
She has lots of friends and has learnt so much from coming to Darling Buds.
I’m certain she will have many more years of enjoyment and learning here.
Can’t thank the wonderful team enough.
My son started at Darling Buds when he was 7 months old. The staff were brilliant and put me at ease straight away, suggesting that I could give them a ring during the day to see how he was settling in if I wanted to. They are very good at understanding how hard it can be in the early days to leave your child. My son spends two days a week at Darling Buds, and he has thrived whilst there. He is now 3 and is a confident, happy boy who absolutely loves going to nursery. He has made friends there and has had a good relationship with the staff in each room that he has been in. We definitely noticed his development come along leaps and bounds since he started going to nursery, and I have always felt confident that he is safe and well looked after whilst he is there. I highly recommend Darling Buds as a safe and nurturing place for your children to grow.
The staff are always chatty and smiling when dropping off and picking up and always take the time to talk about how she has been that day and answer any queries.
They offer a lot of different activities for the children and I can definitely see my daughter learning new things with every week she goes there.
Considering current circumstances with lockdown they have been very professional, they have kept us informed as much as they can and have been in contact to check how my daughter is, which I think is amazing!
My little girl has been attending Darling Buds since she was just over 4-months-old. Over the years she has become quite the chatterbox and doesn’t stop talking about all of the fun she has at nursery every day - from a huge variety of arts and crafts, cooking, dancing and building obstacle courses in the garden! She’s made great friends and the whole team are genuinely fabulous - I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
Thank you for the care for our 5 and 3-year-old.
Overall a very good nursery. Well organised with very friendly and committed staff. Good facilities and excellent inclusive and diverse environment.
The children love it there and look forward to the holiday club.
All the staff are fabulous, especially the Group Leader - the kids love her and she is amazing with them!
The Director, Manager and Assistant Manager are very supportive and go above and beyond.
Thank you for taking such great care of my children.
My son has made fantastic progress since joining due to its nurturing. Staff are very supportive. Highly recommended.
The services offered are amazing; making the transition to school much smoother.
All staff are amazing, extremely polite, helpful and very accommodating.
Staff are a credit to this nursery.
His eating and food choices are now brilliant, along with his speech and confidence.
The girls at the nursery are very friendly, and always willing to offer another day when my shifts differ at work.
I have/will always praise the girls and the nursery to all of my friends - who now have either started their kids there or are looking to start them there in the future. An overall amazing place/service.
Both our children have attended Darling Buds, and it has been the best start in life for both of them. They have become confident and have learnt great socialising skills. They eat a variety of different meals thanks to Daring Buds, and they are always happy to arrive at the nursery. The Darling Buds team take great care in looking after our children, and they always have a fun-filled day of a variety of different activities.
Caring and helpful staff, keep babies busy all day.
Definitely the best one in the area!
Staff are friendly and helpful. Resources and equipment are fantastic.
I could not recommend this nursery enough! The relationship each individual has with my two-year-old is irreplaceable elsewhere. My son is very close to myself and doesn’t like to leave me for long periods of time, but this nursery he looks forward to going. He says goodbye at the door. The staff are the most lovely, understanding people and I can’t wait for my son to be back in September. Well done for all your hard work girls.
Both my daughters have absolutely loved their time at Darling Buds. They have both developed into outgoing, adaptable and inquisitive young girls, and I know Darling Buds had a huge influence on that development. It is like a home from home; everyone is welcoming and so friendly. I would highly recommend them as an excellent childcare provider
The nursery has been amazing with us as a family after needing child care so fast they really helped settle my little one in. My nearly 2-year-old at the time was happy to be left with them because everyone is so kind and friendly although now she has her favourite ones.
Everyone is amazing with my son, he loves going there and never wants to leave. He has been to many nurseries but by far it’s the best.
