Brabyns Nursery and Preparatory School

The staff are so loving towards my child and very reassuring. I feel my child is in very safe hands when he goes into nursery and I know he is very much cared for by all the staff here.

Without a doubt, the best in Marple and the surrounding area.

He loves it here.

My daughter absolutely loves going into kindergarten every day. The staff are all wonderful. They really get to know each individual child, which was very important to me.

Fantastic. My children have flourished at Brabyns Preparatory School, Spanish lessons being their particular favourite. All of the team are adept at quickly identifying the right amount of nurture and challenge needed by each child. Warm, fun and friendly. Top class!

I feel comfortable communicating any concerns and I value their feedback and advise. I look forward to watching my son blossom in this caring, nurturing environment whist maximising his potential at the same time.

Having visited many other nurseries when searching for ‘the one’ I just knew this worked for us and I’d highly recommend it to anyone.

The entire staff are very welcoming and ensure they know each child as individuals to encourage their interests and development. The warm friendly fun atmosphere is a wonderful foundation for all the wide variety of activities undertaken.

Our boy is flourishing into a beautiful little person and is successfully meeting milestones under the superb guidance of the nursery staff.

Brabyns has given my daughter the best possible start to her schooling life. The teachers are wonderful and she has improved in all areas from starting there. They have the care factor which you don’t get in all nurseries. Would recommend highly.

I am very impressed by Brabyns. The care, kindness and friendliness of the staff towards the children is exemplary and they always have time and patience. The range of play and activities, especially the music and outdoor opportunities the children have has given my grandson so much confidence and enjoyment - his development in every way has been delightful and he is obviously very happy here and talks constantly about the staff. Altogether an outstanding environment.

I can't speak highly enough of Brabyns. It was a huge decision to send my 2-year-old daughter to nursery and I was anxious about it and I looked at many options. But the first time I went to Brabyns mother and tots group and I met the head teacher, I just knew this was where I wanted to send her. I haven't been disappointed. It is a lovely school in a lovely place with lovely people and I know my daughter gets the best of everything here. She has come on so much since being at the nursery and I feel absolutely secure in the knowledge I have made the best decision for my daughter. The staff are fantastic - helpful and communicative and very down to earth. They are brilliant with my daughter. This is the only place I wanted and want to send my daughter.

Great nursery, with excellent staff and a lovely environment. My little girl has developed considerably since joining Little Gems. All the support staff and management know the children by first name, we couldn’t ask for more.

My son loves the nursery. He’s being pushed and challenged just enough and he misses it when he’s not there!

The school and staff offer an excellent environment. The staff are caring towards the children and assess children's educational standards from a young age. This helps to ensure children's needs are met.

The school offers a wide range of activities and fosters a family type environment which our child has flourished in (she wants to go to school every day!).

The school structure and standard of teaching is very high. The after school and holiday activity club arrangements are less structured but the staff work hard to provide an enjoyable time.

Little Gems and Kindergarten staff are excellent. As my daughter is nearly 4, she hasn't made her way into the main school yet, so hard to comment.

Overall, very pleased and many thanks to the hard work of the staff who seem to have a genuine interest in caring for, and helping children develop!

My son is happy to arrive every day and sad to leave at the end school day. He has improved in confidence, speaking and even in his social relationships.

Brabyns is a fantastic school with a great environment. It really is like a family and the teachers and headmaster know all the children names. It is very grounded and the children understand good manners and behaviour. It is very apparent with the way my 3-year-old son has improved since he started in April last year.

They have interesting trips and activities which allows variety.

My son has also improved massively with his speech and this is due to the way the school are so attentive and talk to the children.

We spent a long time debating whether to change nursery for my then 2-year-old as her previous setting was really good. It was the best thing we ever did.

Brabyns is much more structured and educationally focused than the average nursery but puts lots of emphasis on having fun in a warm and loving environment.

Our son absolutely adores going to nursery. He is pushed enough to keep him engaged and interested but his teachers understand when he has had enough or is tired. We can tell how much he is developing but most importantly, he is really, really happy there.

The nursery and the school are fantastic. The staff and children are friendly and helpful. They have great facilities and create a great atmosphere to learn, develop and have fun.
