Bentley Manor is a fantastic nursery. The staff are really caring and go the extra mile. The facilities are great and the outdoor space amazing. My children are / have been really happy here. I would highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your review Victoria. It has been an absolute honour and please taking care of your children and we look forward to welcoming the third little one in time.
We have had received the best care and service for both our children. Each stage of the journey is excellent and the staff are outstanding in their role. They have always shown great care and dedication to helping and understanding the needs of our children and have always been inclusive with us to share their journey too.
Thank you so much for a lovely review. We have loved looking after both your children over the years and it's lovely to hear the feedback. We pride ourselves on knowing each child individually as well as their Parents and other family members.
My 3 year old twins have made great progress in a nurturing environment where they have been encouraged and challenged to try new things, they have both grown in confidence and independence thanks to the experienced staff.
Joanna, it has been an absolute pleasure to watch all three of your children grow and learn during their time with us. We pride ourselves on the experience and breadth of knowledge our team provides. We wish all 5 of you the very best of luck for your futures, please do keep in touch!
The staff are passionate, warm, and caring.
The facilities, outdoor space, and variety of activities offered are amazing. The extensive annual events calendar, ranging from seasonal celebrations to themed days, showcases this further. The organisation and creativity that go into such events, often in the staff's own time, are awe-inspiring and leave lasting wonderful memories for both children and parents. Bentley Manor's commitment to going above and beyond and fostering a sense of community is truly commendable.
We are very proud to be part of the Bentley Manor setting and delighted that our child is growing up in such a lovely environment.
Thank you Bentley Manor for everything you do to make our child happy there and for your support to us as first-time parents!
Thank you for such a wonderful review! It is so lovely to know that the extra celebrations and events we hold have so much value to our families. It has been an honour to support your little one and yourselves through these early years. We are so proud of the journey we provide to all our children...
Fantastic nursery, my daughter always enjoys her time at Bentley Manor, the ladies who care for her are all brilliant, loving and support her development, they are also really easy to speak to about anything on your mind - everyones i really feel wants the best for your child. They offer stay and play sessions around seasonal times, which are a great addition to enable parents to spend time with their child in the nursery setting. They really prioritise time spent outdoors, and have the ground space to do this brilliantly. Great nursery, would highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely words. It is a pleasure looking after your little girl who has thrived during her time. We cannot wait for your next little one to join us!
The staff team at Bentley Manor Childcare Centre are outstanding practitioners, with a wealth of experience and love in abundance.
My two boys have attended Bentley Manor and have thrived both socially and academically.
The site and grounds are exceptional and the management team are always striving for progress. They never stand still.
The efforts made to include both the nursery and local community and seasonal events is so special, thank you.
An excellent choice.
What a beautiful review Catrina. Both your boys have been true delights to look after over the years! Your constant support and sharing of information is so appreciated by us both!
I also love the outdoor space and how much they value letting the children go outdoors.
It is also great that meals, milk and nappies are all included as on nursery days I know that all of that is sorted and I don't need to worry about what to feed her! Couldn't recommend this nursery enough for babies - the staff are wonderful and I totally trust them to look after my child!
Thank you so much for a lovely review Eleanor. Your little one has thrived since starting with us in Babies and it has been a joy to watch her join in with all the team offer throughout the day.
Two of our boys went to Bentley Manor Childcare Centre full-time since they were each 6 months old. It's such a wonderful nursery with lovely grounds, caring staff and great management. We will miss this nursery so much, thank you so much for looking after our boys all these years!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It has been a pleasure to care for two of your boys over the last almost five years! We have loved watching their cheeky little personalities develop and their confidence thrive. We wish them all the best in their journey at school.
All staff, regardless of room, know all children which makes it such a loving and welcoming environment. Every child's needs are known and catered for.
The extra activities on offer are second to none and this nursery welcomes parents to be involved at every opportunity - we love it.
My only feedback is that the catering could be better - menus rotated so that children get a variety, rather than the same each four weeks, for example, what's given on a Monday would be given on a Thursday and the 'tea' could be improved - but I know this is outside catering rather than the nursery itself.
Thank you so much for such an honest and wonderful review. We truly believe in creating the best starts for children in their early years and giving them the best opportunities. We love welcoming family members and siblings in so often and creating a real home-from-home environment. We will...
Visited to collect my nephews. Very friendly, inviting staff.
Thank you so much for taking the time whilst visiting to leave us a review! It was a pleasure to show off where your two wonderful nephews attend.
2 children have attended and we're very happy. All room staff have been great. Will be sending the 3rd child.
Thank you so much for your review! Both of your girls have been a delight to care for and watch grow. We can't wait for the next little one to join us!
The meals are always healthy and seasonal.
Management and finance team extremely helpful with any pricing and gov. funding queries.
Thank you so much for leaving us such a lovely review! We strive to ensure our communication and engagement with parents is a priority. I'm so glad your little one has settled so well these past six months!
Highly recommend Bentley Manor Childcare. Both my children have been so happy here. Management and staff are attentive, caring, nurturing and professional. The outdoor space is like no other nursery we know, which has been really beneficial to the development of our children, allowing them to explore a number of different areas, which are accessible all year round, from the mud kitchen to the play equipment, forest school area and open fields. The learning and development are phenomenal as both my children have learnt so much, and our daughter, who is now in year one, misses nursery and still talks about the staff. The school readiness preparation really helped our daughter transition to school smoothly. The experiences the children have are fun, parental involvement is great too with lots of events for parents to take part in too. Management communicates really well with parents and is continually implementing positive changes. We only recommend Bentley Manor to anyone who asks us.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. It has been a real pleasure watching your family grow and both your children develop. We will never forget the joy of your eldest, showing off her baby brother for the first time!We are so glad you've had such a consistently amazing experience throughout your years with us.
Bentley Manor is a wonderful nursery and my children are so happy here. The staff are so caring and considerate and have become like family. My children love going to nursery and have learned so much.
Looking back, it is incredible to think when you first joined us with your eldest, it was during Covid. Everything was so different, but he settled so well - and what a journey it has been since! They have been a true pleasure.
Every single room and staff member has been outstanding in the care and development of them.
I couldn’t be happier with the nursery I picked for them.
The cleanliness, activities and safety are outstanding.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We have loved being a part of their journeys and watching them grow over the years. We are so fortunate to have our housekeepers onsite daily to ensure the upkeep of hygiene and cleanliness!
Both of our children have gone through Bentley Manor and it has honestly felt like home and continues to. The care from the staff is unwavering and full of warmth. We are so pleased that both children have had such a wonderful start! Thank you all so much for everything!
What a wonderful review, thank you so much! It has been such a real pleasure watching your two children grow, and it is so lovely whenever they return - for them and for us!
I can highly recommend all aspects of Bentley Manor Childcare Centre. The management and staff are truly amazing; they have bent over backwards to accommodate our boy, and nothing has been too much trouble. He has additional needs, and these have been fully met by a wonderful team.
A recent change in management has been truly beneficial - we are very, very pleased with the current management team, and in fact, everyone who works there has shown nothing but kindness and has had our child’s best interests at the forefront of decision-making, always being inclusive of his parents and me, taking our wishes into consideration, which has been very much appreciated by all of us.
They have been truly supportive and helpful.
We can only extend our deepest gratitude for everything. Thank you.
A very grateful grandma.
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt review. It has been an absolute pleasure looking after him and going on such a journey with you all. Your little boy will be tremendously missed here, and we wish you all the best with your move!
Bentley Manor is an excellent nursery setting, it provides a safe environment for children. My son loves coming to nursery, my son has been at Bentley for a number of months and has really progressed. Bentley has a beautiful outdoor area, where children can do lots of exploring through play. All the staff are approachable, and help you in any way possible. Staff show lots of love to every child. My son has good relationships with the staff and loves his key worker. Thank you Bentley Manor for all the care and support you've given my son. Highly recommended nursery.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! It is lovely to see how much your son has progressed since he started, and how much he enjoys coming in each week. We can't wait for your youngest to join us later this year!
We just wanted to say what an incredible nursery Bentley Manor Childcare Centre is. We started our journey there with our first child 10 years ago and now our 3rd child joined in May. It’s the most perfect setting for those early years and seeing how our older two have grown up is just the best. All the outdoor space, and the ethos giving the children the opportunity to explore, learn and develop with a caring and supportive team is fantastic and it just keeps getting better and better. We’d strongly recommend it to anyone.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a fabulous review. It has been such a pleasure to care for all three of your children and see their journeys and how they've thrived at school; we love their regular visits!
I couldn't be happier with Bentley Manor! My child is properly taken care of, the staff communicates effectively, and the management team is incredibly committed to helping us in any way they can. The outdoor area is fantastic; it's very spacious and occasionally you can see farm animals in the distance. The activities are really well organised, and in addition to having fun, my child is getting the best educational opportunities possible to support their growth. Bentley Manor is genuinely wonderful, and I couldn't recommend it highly enough!
This is a wonderful review to read, thank you so much for taking the time to leave one! Our amazing outdoor space is certainly something to behold, and one of our biggest selling points! We love watching your daughter grow and thrive in our care and are excited to see this continue!
