Review from S F (Father of Child) published on 12 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Babblebrooke for the best part of a year now. When she started the nursery there were a few changes, a new manager and new staff had just started. All of the staff are so professional and have an amazing touch with the children. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds in the year she has been there. Her key worker has built an amazing friendship with her and it shows in the way she learns and conducts herself. I wax lyrical about everything the staff do but the best thing I could say is that I do not regret bringing my daughter here and wish she could’ve been here with this team for longer. Keep up the good work ladies you are amazing.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Babblebrooke Nursery since June 2022 and we've always felt she has a great experience with the key workers, all staff and friends. They make the time at nursery very engaging for her and she gains many social skills from being around kids her age. It's been great to see her thrive through the rooms (baby room, toddler room and currently in pre-school). The key workers in preschool are especially amazing with the activities they set up and the forward-thinking ways they encourage development and play. There's always an opportunity to learn! We are very pleased overall and would recommend Babblebrooke to anyone thinking of sending their child.

My daughter attends the nursery 3 days a week in the toddler room and always comes out with a smile on her face. The staff there are great and my daughter has a great connection with her keyworkers. We are also sending our 9-month-old there next month.

My child has settled really well, the staff are very professional and friendly, they pay a lot of attention to the child’s development and will often contact me to discuss anything related, they reply to messages quickly and will update me if I need anything. I noticed a few things have improved from last year which is great as a parent it gives me relief they are working on getting better and better each day and my child is in a safe and looked-after environment.

Overall Experience

I am so grateful for this nursery, my son has attended here for 2 years and is currently in preschool he has additional SEN needs and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for the way he is cared for by the staff at Babblebrooke, especially his key worker, she is so good with my son he loves her she has helped him so much with his speech delay and developmental delay and since joining Babblebrooke he has progressed to a level I never thought he would. I can’t rate this nursery high enough it’s lovely and clean and the children always look happy and content and the staff are lovely always on hand with any queries or parenting advice. Thankyou Babblebrooke!

Overall Experience

Brilliant level of care and ethos. Very friendly and caring staff who take the time to invest in our daughter and get to know her. Host lots of open events to involve us as parents in the process and help with nursery-home balance. Overall we have been very happy with how our daughter has been cared for, educated, guided and nurtured and how we have been included in the process.

Overall Experience

Babblebrook is a fabulous nursery - my daughter is in the toddler room and they’ve been great in helping with her speech development. She now spends the car journey home telling me about her day! The staff are all so polite and seem genuinely happy to be there, and the updates and photographs are a great touch! The only thing I do wish was that there were more things to bring home that they’ve done at nursery - eg paintings etc.

It’s my daughter’s first month at Babblebrook Day Nursery and she settled in very well. Every time we buzz the buzzer, she smiles from ear to ear and when her key worker comes out she’s even more excited!
Very friendly, professional and caring staff. Always smiling and ready for the day ahead.

Everything is provided in the price and you get a variety of times available so there is something for everyone’s schedule.

Great nursery. My daughter has improved a lot from not speaking much to conversing really well in a matter of weeks. We get updated of our daughter's day and the nursery tries to include us in tea parties, parties etc.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery! My daughter absolutely loves this nursery. She has been attending for just under a year now and has really come out of her shell. She is always bringing home colourings that she has done and always telling me how great her day was. She speaks so highly of her preschool teachers (also other staff members that come into her room). Every week we are sent photos of the children and what they have been up to whilst also given information about how we can help extend this at home. I was a bit anxious about sending my daughter as she is quite shy but I'm so glad I did.

It was my daughter's 1st birthday, and they made it so special for her; they are also very good at helping to get her to stand independently.

All the staff have been great with helping her development and sharing photos that I can pass on to family.

Overall Experience
Nursery is very good. My child loves the setting and knowing he is happy makes me happy. They have an online portal to communicate and upload pictures.

The only thing I would say which isn't really a negative but more about something they could look at changing is I have never had anything brought back that my child has done there. Not even one picture. Other than that the nursery for me is very good.

Review from Tammy C (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Babblebrooke Day Nursery is an all round 5 star nursery/preschool. The staff are brilliant and can never do enough for you. Any concerns or queries you may have, are settled and answered promptly, putting your mind at ease. The information input into the Famly app is excellent and handovers at the end of the child’s session are always thorough. There’s a fantastic range of activities and an array of resources, outside and in for the children to enjoy and make their own. The snacks and meals offered to the children are always of variety, which makes introducing new foods to your child so much easier! My little one always leaves content and enjoys telling me everything they’ve been up to that day! Babblebrook is a fantastic nursery to send your child to and I would definitely recommend!

My daughter has been attending Babblebrooke Day Nursery for around two years and I have never had any complaints. She loves her time there, always comes out happy telling me about her day. The app keeps me up to date with her eating, toileting and things that are happening. The staff are amazing, the setting is warm and welcoming and the dinner menus sound amazing. Choosing this nursery was the best decision, I’ll be sad to say goodbye.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Babblebroke Day Nursery for over a year now. All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide him with care, attention and positivity. I have always found the key workers to be very communicative and also with regards with his focus week development across all areas. We have been given great feedback regarding his day, what they did, eating habits, toilet training and playtime what he finds interesting etc. I would highly recommend Babblebroke Day Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my son.

We have been using Babblebrooke Day Nursery since 2016 and both of my daughters have attended. During that time I have always been very happy with the activities and standard of care we have received. The staff team are lovely and the facilities have only ever improved over time as they’ve adopted a more naturalistic approach. I would highly recommend Babblebrooke!

Overall Experience

I was worried that my 10 month old won't settle as she was breastfed for 6 months exclusively but that changed as she started. The amazing staff made it so easy for her and she settled straight away. She receives good care and lots of cuddles. We are very happy and would definitely recommend this nursery. Plenty of activities, they provide everything for my little one and they have access to the outdoors at any time.
