Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Truly fantastic staff, so friendly and approachable.
My daughter started in January 2023, she settled in so nicely and really looks forward to coming into nursery.
She enjoys the varied activities, especially having physical education sessions within the main school.
This isn’t the first nursery
my daughter has attended but this is a nursery I would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been lucky enough to have 2 children go through Uplands Nursery (my youngest is there now) and the teachers there are beyond outstanding. They are kind, compassionate, understanding and give so much attention to each and every child. They have a great learn-through-play approach and every single
day, there is always something new for the children to explore.
Both my children have been so happy here and they work hard to ensure the children are ready to take on new challenges when it is time to start reception. I have always known my children are safe and happy when they are at the nursery and the effort they make to record this on the app is very much appreciated. I 110% would recommend (and often do) this nursery to anyone.

Lovely nursery with amazing staff. My boys love it here and I couldn't be happier. This nursery has made the transition from my boys having a nanny to going to nursery full time so smooth. The communication and relationships we have built already are brilliant and I couldn't ask for more.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear that the boys have settled in well and are happy with us here at Uplands Nursery.

My daughter started at Uplands in January 2022 and absolutely loves it, I recently returned to work after a year on maternity leave and the staff have been amazing at guiding her through the transition.
She looks forward to going to Uplands every week, she loves being outside and really enjoys the
free play. She also loves that she can play with/use real things like scissors, china cups and telephones.
She also attends a private nursery for childcare purposes which she has been at since she was 10 months old but she is adamant that Uplands is her favourite. She has made some new friends and really come out of her shell in their care, they are setting her up to start reception successfully in September.

My daughter loves going here, and I've seen a massive improvement in her since moving to this nursery. They also do lots of school trips with the children, which I think is great.

My son is thriving since attending Uplands Nursery. There is so much for them to do that helps to explore a variety of skills. My son comes home from nursery always keen and happy to go back. The staff are lovely and take time to listen to us as parents if we have any questions.

Uplands Nursery is a truly wonderful environment for children. Both of mine have loved every moment there and are always encouraged to thrive and have as much fun as possible. The staff are always available to tell you how your child is getting on and you are invited to regular parents sessions to watch
your child in action. They are taught so much through play and it is amazing to see how much they learn. The teachers and assistants are very loving towards the children and encourage them and help them all day long. The facilities are excellent and the outside area is a great size. I would never worry about my children there, they were excited to go in every day. I'm sad that my youngest finishes there in July.

All the staff at Uplands Nursery are amazing.
I have found not only are they there for my daughter but also me as a parent.
They have been wonderful at helping my daughter with a new stage she is going through and extending it to our home life too.
I feel as a parent I have had support in explaining
things I'm new to as she is my first child to attend nursery.

Since my son started at Uplands Nursery Jan 2017 he has come on so well academically and socially. The nursery is brilliant at making learning fun and for setting up great learning activities. He has fun every day with the variety of different stations. Could not fault the nursery and its staff.

Review from Shaz I (Mother of Child) published on 22 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 3-year-old daughter goes to Uplands Nursery and absolutely loves it. The atmosphere is so relaxed and friendly - it feels very homely and I love the fact that the kids have free flow play. My daughter suffers from speech and language difficulties and the nursery have been so supportive with her about
this, they work really well with her speech and language therapist and I feel have been a great help in improving her development.
I love the fact that the nursery is part of the School and that the nursery gets to use their facilities to do things such as P.E twice a week.
Being a working mum I find it really helpful that I get updated on things via SMS, email and social media. The reports are also so detailed and I love that I can view them securely online.
All the staff are truly caring and very patient.

Review from Nina S (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we first visited the nursery, I was struck by how friendly and welcoming it felt. I also loved the free flow movement of children around the place. Since starting here, my son has absolutely loved coming. I feel he was welcomed as an individual from the start and his individuality has been nurtured.
It is very important to me that some of his more challenging traits (such as aggression, spiritedness, wilfulness) are retained and appropriately channelled (rather than squashed) and I really feel that this is happening. The staff speak so positively of him and genuinely seem to care about his little self, his feelings and thoughts. The report they have already sent to me is a wonderful reassurance to me that he is happy and learning with love and joy - very detailed and providing numerous photos of him hard at play. The garden is lovely and he enjoys the free flow of movement inside and outside. A lovely space for a child to start a love of learning and for socialisation.
I highly recommend Uplands.

My son is enjoying nursery. One of the best nursery around Sandhurst. The staff are very friendly and understanding. Very creative outer space and they do PE also, which is my son's favourite, not many nurseries do. Highly recommend it.

My 2 daughters absolutely love their time at Uplands Nursery. They always come home talking about their day and they seem to do a lot of different things too. I have also been impressed by the extra activities and the fact that the nursery children don't get left out of activities that the rest of the
school do too. I would highly recommend Uplands Nursery.

Uplands Nursery is a fantastic place and I couldn't have asked for a better start for my children to begin their education. The staff are warm and friendly and really care about the children. They are consistent and always put their heart and soul into what they do. The facilities are great and my children
always come home full of beans from their day. The interaction with the main school has worked really well and opens up even more opportunities for the children such as PE sessions, special assemblies, and workshops. Highly recommend!
