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.

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

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.
My 2-year-old son has been going to this nursery since before his first birthday. He love's it and the staff and equipment are first class. I couldn't praise the place enough.

Darling Buds is a truly fantastic nursery, my children love attending and have come on leaps and bounds, they are confident and chatty little boys. The staff at the nursery genuinely care about my boys as the boys do them. We would recommend the nursery to anyone.

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).

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.

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.

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.
Both our children have attended Darling Buds since 9 months old (now 3/12 and 4 1/2). The children love to go there and have a wide range of activities from drawing, painting and crafts, trips out to parks, the bay, museum, circle time with reading and singing and many other fun activities. The...
Both our children have attended Darling Buds since 9 months old (now 3/12 and 4 1/2). The children love to go there and have a wide range of activities from drawing, painting and crafts, trips out to parks, the bay, museum, circle time with reading and singing and many other fun activities. The nursery staff are very friendly and the management and admin team very helpful and flexible. We would thoroughly recommend the nursery who have not only cared wonderfully for our children, but also assisted in teaching them letter, numbers, colours, shades etc in both English and Welsh.
