Review from R R (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would highly recommend this nursery. Staff are excellent and each one of them is caring and kind. My son has thrived here and is learning and growing so well. He loves going to nursery and enjoys all of the activities designed to develop all of the children's skills. The food is freshly cooked every day, provides a range of cuisine, has lots of veg and the 5 star food hygiene rating sealed the deal for me in deciding to send my son to Darling Buds Nursery. A great place to nurture my child in all aspects!

Darling Buds Nursery offers an amazing level of care to my young boys. They are so friendly, welcoming and professional and the staff always have a smile, even at busy peak times. The facilities are great, and every day is filled with activities and fun and great food.
I feel they truly care for my boys which makes my working life so much easier.

Can’t recommend them enough.

Overall Experience
My twins have excelled at this nursery. I'm always amazed at how much they're learning and how confident they have become. They really enjoy going to nursery and never look back at the door. The staff are amazing, the place is always buzzing with excitement, but the kids are calm, well behaved and concentrated on group lead.

I cannot recommend Darling Buds Nursery enough.

Review from Emily C (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
What a fab nursery! Our daughter has been attending Darling Buds since August and is so happy there. She’s currently in Buttercups and looked after by the most lovely staff members. She’s always so happy when she realises we’ve pulled up outside and not once has she ever been upset when we’ve dropped her off, which made going back to work after maternity leave so much easier! Also, the settling in sessions really helped to ease your mind. The staff members genuinely care about each child and always make the time to talk to you about what your little one has been up to during the day.

Would recommend to any parent who is starting to think about childcare!

Overall Experience

I can’t recommend Darling Buds Nursery highly enough. My little boy started in Buttercups when he was 8 months old and I was constantly reassured and updated by his key workers as to how he was settling in with his new friends. The thing that I love the most is how much this nursery focuses (time and money) on the child. Every time I visit, the children are happy and I always think to myself that’s something you can’t fake!

I have been using Darling Buds since 2013 and cannot recommend highly enough. My daughters have attended every group from Daisies to after school club, the quality of care in each group is second to none.
The staff are all very friendly and the office is highly accommodating.

The quality of care is second to none.

Review from Marcia R (Mother of Child) published on 16 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son loves going to the nursery. The staff are always very friendly, and he knows everybody by name! Now he is nearly 2 and a half, he has been going there for over a year.
What I like the most is that they keep a diary for them, so every day you can see what they have eaten, how much they have slept, and what activities they have done.
It is a very dynamic nursery, and multicultural too. They speak to them in English and Welsh and we love that too.
They take them to the park on sunny days too.

Overall we are very happy with it

Review from M D (Mother of Child) published on 11 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending the nursery since he was 8 months old. The staff have been fantastic with him as he had various food allergies and have accommodated his needs and they are also fully trained to deal with him having an allergic reaction. Since he has attended the nursery to date, he has learnt so much from the staff and mixing with the other children.

I would highly recommend this nursery to parents who were nervous about leaving their child as they made me feel so comfortable and keep me updated with my son's progress every day. The nursery also provides nutritious home cooked food which my son loves. The nursery is also very secure and will not let anyone in who they do not know.

Review from Ann H (Mother of Child) published on 11 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 14-month-old son has been going to Darling Buds since June and he really loves it. The staff there are so lovely and write feedback in the communication book about what he’s been up to that day. There was a settling in period to ensure he was at ease with being in a new place. He is picked up at the end of the day having been well fed, clean and generally seems very happy (and tired).

Review from Soumya P (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The caretakers are very friendly and courteous. My daughter has been going to the nursery for last 1 year and 4 months and she feels very comfortable there. She is growing to be independent, which is essential for me as I am a working mother. She keeps mentioning new activities they do there every day. I feel they provide the children with a healthy and proactive environment according to their age groups and their individual capabilities.

Both my children have attended Darling Buds and both love/have loved it there! The girls are all friendly and welcoming and show so much care towards the children I absolutely cannot fault the nursery at all! The building is always clean, tidy and well presented and they have a lovely garden area for outdoor fun.

Overall Experience

My child loves attending Darling Buds since she started at age 1 and is always happy and eager to go in the morning. The staff are so lovely and take time out to tell you about her day and how she is developing. The service they provide is beyond our expectations and I am glad we chose the best nursery for our little girl. She has grown and developed so well with the help of the nursery.

Review from Jim S (Father of Child) published on 19 October 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We sent our son to Darling Buds at 18 months, initially for two afternoons a week, and kept him there until the age of 3, with most of his last six months being full-time. We cannot thank staff enough for their care and attentiveness. They contributed tremendously to his social development (he is an only child) and in other aspects of his early years such as potty training, getting rid of the dummy, developing a taste for a wide range of food and in his speech, which really began to flourish. As parents, we felt very secure in leaving our only child with Darling Buds.
