Review from Rebecca A (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We highly recommend The Nursery. Our son attended from the age of 1 and he's had a blast and leaves with fond memories that will last forever. From trips out to Clevedon and the lake grounds to developing his skills at Fox Cycling and sports coaching, he's had the best experiences.
Our son has developed and progressed so much since his time at the nursery and we have found everyone there to be so supportive and encouraging as he has progressed through the different rooms. He's leaving at the age of 4 feeling confident and ready for his next exciting chapter at school.

We cannot recommend them enough and our son will cherish his time there and miss everyone immensely.

Reply from Rachael Holland, Deputy Manager at The Nursery

Thank You Rebecca, We know he will have a great time at school, he will be missed.

Review from Toni S (Mother of Child) published on 8 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at The Nursery for a year and has loved every minute. The practitioners are highly experienced and create great bonds with all of the children. We have also utilised The Nursery's senco as our daughter is awaiting an autism assessment. The senco is extremely knowledgeable and supportive, not just to my daughter but to the whole family. We highly recommend The Nursery.

Review from A F (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As a parent, you constantly wonder if the choices you are making are right for your child and here I was, handing over my 11-month-old daughter at the end of lockdown in 2020 when she knew only a limited amount of people. However, when I saw how confident she was starting school 3 years later, despite being the youngest in her class, never have I been so sure that the nursery was the best place for her, and later her sister.

The nursery is person-centred with every child at their focus to ensure each child achieves their maximum, pursuing activities which are important to them. They offer ballet, cycling and regular trips to keep them engaged, looking at their individual interests. The nursery has taught our children so much, but more importantly, it has taught them to be kind and considerate, role-modelling qualities we hope our children will possess and provided them with a solid foundation for their future. They go above and beyond and we will forever be grateful.

Review from K H (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended The Nursery for a year now. Sending her to nursery was something that I felt so anxious about- I really didn’t need to worry as the staff at the nursery have been totally wonderful. The settling-in sessions worked really well and they seemed to fully understand that although they care for babies every day, this process was a huge deal for us as a family. Our daughter talks about the nursery staff at home as though they are family friends, and she is always happy to see them and to go to them for cuddles and breakfast- she rarely looks back for me at drop off! I would absolutely recommend the nursery- we sent our daughter there after a recommendation from a friend and it was definitely the right choice for us and our daughter.

Review from Alison M (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can’t recommend The Nursery highly enough. My daughter started there at 15 months and to say that there were tears and anxiety for mum and baby is an understatement. The Nursery looked after us and cared for us both so well and continue to do so. There is a real focus on relationship building and understanding the children’s individual personalities which has been so valuable for us. I’m sure my daughter prefers her days at nursery to home now and happily waves me off. The quality of provision and the range of activities that is on offer is amazing and the focus on exploring the outdoors whatever the weather is great too. We couldn’t be happier with our choice for childcare!

Review from Kerri W (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Extremely happy with The Nursery. All staff are friendly and attentive. They all make an effort to make both myself and my son feel welcome upon arrival. I felt at ease leaving my son with them from day one due to the staff and great facilities. Meals/snacks are great. My son enjoys the activities on offer such as painting, playdoh and especially the garden. It's really nice that they go out walking with the children to various locations. Would highly recommend.

Review from Mike (Father of Child) published on 11 March 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We've used two different nurseries for personal reasons, and these had a tough job as we were really pleased with our previous nursery and they were amazing.

Their focus on learning is exquisite, the focus on the detail is something we have been so impressed with.

Our child's learning has drastically accelerated since she has been here and I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

The Nursery is a wonderfully safe, clean, educational and calm environment for our daughter. Staff are professional, friendly and caring. Everything is of the highest standards, including the food choices, activities and feedback and progress reports to parents. By far the best nursery and daycare facility in the area and our daughter absolutely loves attending. We couldn't be happier!
