Review from Amy H (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

We've had a fantastic experience with the Bruce Nursery with both of our children. Communication has always been great, the children are really happy there and the staff are all lovely. Transitions from room to room have always been smooth and we feel the children have been well supported throughout. They are thriving and developing at a great pace, and we feel it is providing skills that will be useful throughout their lives. My children eat well there and spend a lot of time outdoors or doing activities through the day. They have both built strong connections, both with their peers and with their key workers, which has made them feel safe and happy there. Overall, we have had a great experience and have recommended to friends.

Overall Experience
Our daughter started at Bruce in January and settled really quickly in the baby room. It is an amazing nursery. The staff are incredible and very accommodating. The nursery is really flexible. The nursery is very Montessori and we love that about it.
Our daughter bonded really quickly with the ladies and they are always very excited to see her.
We genuinely have had an amazing experience with the nursery so far and they are always able to help.
Their communication is great, very quick email responses and on the phone. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The app is updated regularly which really helps in the early days.
I have no concerns about my daughter whilst she is there. She is very well looked after, kept very busy, outside every day and eats really well. I also love that the food is made on site.

So happy with our decision to use Bruce.
