Overall Experience

My son is happy to join his friends and his carers everyday. We feel very comfortable in leaving him in the capable carers hands. It is infortunate that the space (internal and external) they have is quite limited.

Overall Experience

I can't speak highly enough of Wise Owls!

My son is 3 and has been attending the nursery for just over a year and is so happy. He's learned so much and has become a confident little boy since joining. The staff are so lovely, always making me feel sure that he's safe, loved and cared for. He chatters about his friends and the staff all the time!

The nursery has a home from home feel and staff rotation is extremely low, so we all know who to expect and how to feel every day. A super warm, stable environment that is so important for little ones at this stage of life.

The kids do so many fun activities including walks in the nature, meeting horses, hatching chicks, visiting the grocery store, yoga, dance parties and meeting firemen. Always an exciting story on the way home to share with mom.


We love & are so grateful for Wise Owls & all the staff.

We love wise owls! The communication between us and them is great, the progress of our child is detailed monthly, we get regular updates on what shes been doing daily and our daughter gets excited to go in the mornings she likes it that much! Couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery. You can genuinely see how much they care and love the children too.

Review from Pooja S (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From the very beginning, the entire team has created such a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment that truly feels like a second home for her.
The teachers are absolutely wonderful - caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and wellbeing. It's clear how much thought and effort goes into the programs and daily activities. They strike the perfect balance between learning and play, helping the children build confidence, curiosity, and social skills in a natural and engaging way.
Our daughter's communication skills, independence, and enthusiasm for learning have grown tremendously. Most importantly, she absolutely loves going to nursery every day and has built beautiful relationships with all of her teachers. Seeing how excited she is each morning says everything.

We feel incredibly grateful to have found such a fantastic nursery and and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for their child.

Overall Experience
We love our children's nursery. The variety of crafts and activities is wonderful and really supports creativity and learning. The range of food provided is good, with plenty of variety and balance, which we really appreciate. Most of all, the sense of community makes it so special - the children have formed lovely friendships, and the staff are all kind, caring, and invested in each child's happiness and development. It's a nurturing, fun, and welcoming environment, and we feel very lucky to be part of it.

As the children get older, I hope they can spend more time in the nature reserve.

Very happy with Wise Owls nursery setting, child development support and wonderful staff. My son is thriving and hitting all his development milestones and the staff play a big part in that.
The app is great and a good way to feel connected whilst not together.

The doorbell is annoying and pick up can be a slow process but all in all, very happy! Thank you.

Review from R L (Mother of Child) published on 20 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are very happy with the care that our daughter is receiving at Wise Owls Braywick. She joined the baby room at 11 months old and bonded with the carers instantly. They have been so kind to her, it's like leaving her with extended family. She's developed very quickly being around other children and the hard work of the carers. She loves going outdoors daily, eats a well balanced lunch and we love the mix of play and academia. Couldn't recommend it more.

Reply from Ally Holloway, Marketing Communications Manager at Wise Owls Day Nursery - Maidenhead

It's wonderful to see how quickly your little one settled in and bonded with the team. It is something we pride ourselves on and is one of the benefits of being a smaller and more intimate nursery. We really do want it to feel like one big happy extended family here, so knowing you feel that way...

Overall Experience

The staff at wise owls Maidenhead are like an extended family. My 2yo boy loves them all and will regularly say their names and I will often use their names to get him to get ready in the morning of people he's going to see. The staff really look after as if they were their own children. Their outside space is small however, this is made up by the use of the huge nature center which I and friends often see them using during the day.

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls Day Nursery - Maidenhead

It's lovely to hear that your little one feels so at home with the team, that's exactly what we aim for. We love that he talks about the staff at home and gets excited to see them; those connections mean everything to us. You're right, our garden is on the smaller side, but we make up for it with...

Overall Experience
My son skips into the nursery every day. The staff treat the children like their own and show soo much care, kindness and love towards them.

There might not be a large garden, but the children are taken to the nature reserve every day to play, and this gives them structure and a change of scene which is so important.

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls Day Nursery - Maidenhead

Thanks for your glowing review. We do pride ourselves on being a 'home away from home', and it is nice to see how comfortable and at 'home' all the children are at Braywick. We do our absolute best to give the children regular outdoor experiences, and we are so lucky to have the most enormous back garden - the Nature Reserve that the children love exploring.

My son joined in Feb/March this year and he has settled in really well. All the ladies who look after the children in the nursery are lovely, really caring and genuinely have the kid's best interests at heart. I chose this nursery because my eldest son went here and thrived. Although some of the staff has changed, the level of love and care is still the same!

Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with the wonderful care and attention our one-year-old receives at Wise Owls Day Nursery From the moment we enrolled our little one, it's been an incredible experience for our family. Here are some of the reasons why we love this nursery:
The staff at Wise Owls Day Nursery are simply amazing. They genuinely care about each child, and their expertise in early childhood development is evident in every interaction. We feel confident that our child is in good hands. My daughter flies into the arms of the staff every day and is always ready for pickup with a big smile on her face.
The nursery provides a clean and secure environment that encourages exploration and learning.
We appreciate the open and transparent communication with the nursery staff. They keep us updated with daily reports, photos, and important information about our child's activities, meals, and naps.

In summary, Wise Owls has exceeded our expectations.
