Review from Ayesha C (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son and I have had a lovely experience at Babblebrooke Day Nursery. At first, my son struggled to settle in and received extra support and comfort which helped him settle in. He had his own individual relationship with the staff and everyone got to know my son which showed me how the staff at Babblebrooke care about each child.

Overall Experience

An absolute dream of a nursery. The staff are so caring and attentive towards my boy and have built such lovely relationships with him. Every day he comes out with a smile on his face and it's honestly the best feeling knowing he is happy and safe whilst I work. He has been at Babblebrooke for nearly 3 years now and he genuinely loves it.

Review from Caitlyn (Mother of Child) published on 10 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy has been attending here for 4 months and within those 4 months his development gets better each day.
This nursery is beyond brilliant and my little boy absolutely loves the baby room and his room workers, so much so that when I mention going to nursery and going to see them, he giggles at me with a smile on his face.
I love the communication via the famly app and how supportive the staff at this nursery are.
For the price I pay, and for what is included I think it is very reasonable. I send my little one with just a spare change of clothes, this nursery provides everything down to nappies and wipes.

Myself and my little boy love Babblebrooke and I can’t wait to watch him develop through the years here. I cannot fault anything, they’re all so welcoming.

Overall Experience

We love how child-led Babblebrooke is and how they explore what our little one is interested in. The staff are wonderful and take an interest in what she is up to outside of nursery too, which makes it feel like family. As well as her lovely connection with the staff, we know she scores the outdoor spaces and the food highly too!

Overall Experience

My son has been at Babblebrooke since he was 13 months and he has very much enjoyed his time. He is happy, confident and really sociable. He has learned how to take risks, make friends and be really creative. If you are looking for a nursery or preschool I would definitely recommend it. The staff are great and really get to know and understand the children.

Babblebrooke is a really great nursery, they have made my children feel very comfortable and welcomed from the first day they started nursery. The staff at babblebrooke are very friendly, kind and also very welcoming to both parent and child(children). Both of my children have enjoyed their time at the nursery and I have one little boy who is very excited to go back.

Overall Experience

Excellent level of service. Our boy has only been attending for 2 months but he comes home every night with a smile on his face and can’t wait to go back the next day! We can’t praise the quality of care enough. All of the staff are friendly and approachable. The staff that have worked with our son are caring, and have a genuine interest in the children and their development and go above and beyond. Highly recommend Babblebrooke Nursery!!

My little one thoroughly enjoys his time at Babblebrooke Day Nursery... his progress in a relatively short space of time has been amazing. The staff have done a great job under difficult circumstances lately. Can’t fault them at all - brilliant.

Review from S D (Mother of Child) published on 16 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attended Babblebrooke Day Nursery in pre-school and she loved every day she spent there. All the staff went above and beyond to help settle her in to a new routine and new nursery under the challenging times of COVID-19. I was kept up to date with how and what the management team where doing to help my child stay safe. The setting's cleanliness was impeccable and they continued to ensure they were working with her to help her transition to school. I cannot thank the nursery enough and will definitely be sending my new born when I go back to work.

Review from A R (Mother of Child) published on 16 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has just started at Babblebrooke, she has settled straight away. Their baby room is so cosy and has lots of amazing toys for the babies to explore. They uploaded some lovely pictures of her first day which was really reassuring for me. I love the way they plan around the children's interests and we get lots of information about what our baby has been up to through Tapestry. I love that the children have access to a large enclosed private garden and the babies also have their own separate space outdoors to explore. I would 100% recommend Babblebrooke.

Review from Danny S (Father of Child) published on 15 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Babblebrook Nursery and staff have done nothing but help and support my son to grow. After being talked into Nursery care by my wife, we both quickly agreed that the staff and amenities here were giving our son the best possible start in life.

The staff are also very open and honest about incidents and accidents in the nursery. Every bump, bruise and scrape he gets is accounted for, and although they cannot have eyes on every child, all the time, they are never far away if something does happen, and so can deal with the situation quickly.

Overall Experience

I felt really anxious about starting my 13-month-old son at nursery but the staff at Babblebrooke Day Nursery have been amazing at settling him in and he always comes home smiling. I always feel updated and informed by using Tapestry to check on how my son's been during the day. We're really happy we chose Babblebrooke and can't recommend it highly enough.

Overall Experience

Our granddaughter has returned to a lovely refurbished nursery that looks lovely and freshly painted with new resources. The staff have put all the right measures in place to ensure she is safe. They have made her return a very positive experience, lots of smiles as she went into the nursery. Well done Babblebrooke on making my granddaughter and myself relaxed on her first day back. 10/10.

Review from Sarah C (Mother of Child) published on 8 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Before sending my son here at the age of nine months, I'd spent a lot of time visiting other nurseries. This is by far the best I visited. Staff are amazing. My son settled in like a dream, he goes three full days. I never have any concerns or worries while my son is at nursery. During Covid-19 the nursery as done their utmost to stay open. Even when they had to close they did daily updates for all parents to see. Great nursery.
