About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

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.

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.

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!

Very good nursery and good staff. My 3 year old girl loved going there. Highly recommended and it’s only 5 minutse by car to get to the centre of Cardiff and you can also walk to go to town.

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...
I cannot recommend Darling Buds Nursery enough.
Thank you.
Thank you.
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...
Would recommend to any parent who is starting to think about childcare!

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!
The staff are all very friendly and the office is highly accommodating.
