My daughter skips into nursery every day, so excited for the new adventures and experiences the nursery has to offer. And she leaves with a smile on her face, excited to show me her latest creations.

I could not ask for anything more for my child. She absolutely loves coming to nursery, and it provides the perfect mix of play and education. The nursery teachers are unfailingly kind and gentle. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Our daughter has attended St Mary's School since September 2020, and it was the best decision we made placing her here. She absolutely loves going to nursery and adores the staff who are so caring, nurturing and clearly passionate about early years child development. She has thrived under their care and gets so excited to go in on her nursery days! She is always full of chat about all the activities they have done during the day and how much fun she has had playing with her friends and teachers. The management and staff here are just exceptional in what they provide for her and how they care for her. She is very happy here, and we would not hesitate to very highly recommend this wonderful nursery.

As a parent, there is nothing better than knowing your child is safe and in good hands. The staff at St Mary’s Nursery ensures us that we never have to worry about our child’s happiness and safety. He is dropped off and picked up with a smile on his face. The nursery staff show a genuine enthusiasm for their roles, and the impact that they have made on our son’s life thus far is just wonderful. He is developing so well and we really do credit much of that to the great care and attention that receives at St Mary’s Nursery. He gets such a good range of activities and stimulation at the nursery such as playing sports, learning French, lots of sensory activities, reading, indoor and outside play. The teachers and the centre’s administrator are very caring and flexible to us as parents as well. They are genuinely a wonderful and caring group of people, and the administrators always have a smile as they greet us every day. We feel fortunate to have a nursery like this for our son.
Thank you for taking the time to review our nursery. We have all enjoyed getting to know your son, and his energy and enthusiasm to get involved with the activities at nursery is wonderful. We can see that he is enjoying getting to know the children and staff, and is a happy and sociable child who is thriving.
Fantastic staff make this a wonderfully nurturing and friendly environment for the kids. Both our daughters have been through and it gave them the ideal start to schooling. After the nursery makeover last year the facilities are even better, and the head of Nursery is a superstar!

St Mary's Nursery is a wonderful nursery which provides excellent care and learning opportunities. The nursery's environment and direction enable children to be happy, grow in confidence and be ready for the next stage of schooling. Alongside the caring and diligent nursery staff, the children also get access to specialist teachers for some subjects such as PE, Music and French and an outdoor classroom. The nursery is clean and conducive to learning through play. Additionally with the nursery being connected to the school, the children are gently integrated to the main school which helps for a seamless transition to the reception year. I have been very happy with the nursery. My children go in smiling and come home smiling and energised.
We are so pleased that your children have had such a positive experience of our nursery, thank you for reviewing us.

My not-so-little boy will start school in September and he is very ready thanks to this wonderful nursery and the care and encouragement he has received.
Thank you for reviewing St. Mary's Nursery, we are so glad that your son is enjoying his time with us. We are really confident that your son will make a very smooth transition into reception in September, and will miss his smiley face in nursery!
My daughter started nursery 2 days a week in September and has just changed to 3 days as she absolutely loves being at nursery, she asks to go every day. She's learning so much so quickly and the warm, caring environment in the nursery is just lovely. I couldn't be happier with our choice.

With more than nineteen years’ experience in Early Years Education, Paula Reynolds brings a wealth of passion and expertise as Nursery Manager. “I love working with children because every day is different - one day you can be finding a safe habitat for a worm in the garden, and the next discovering the names of dwarf planets together!”
Paula is excited to be transforming the beautiful grounds and buildings of St Mary’s Preparatory School into a brand-new day nursery for Henley-on-Thames. “Designed to spark curiosity, build confidence and inspire a lifelong love of learning, Henley Day Nursery currently welcomes children aged 2–4, with plans to offer baby care from September.”
The impressive plans for the new nursery include a dedicated baby suite with two rooms, a toddler room, and two spacious pre-school rooms, all with free-flow access to their own gardens. “The size of the facilities and grounds will allow us to provide the space and experiences to ensure a stimulating curriculum for all children, including PE in the sports hall, storytime in the library, hands-on learning in a cookery and art room, and imaginative exploration in a deconstructed role-play sensory room.
“We are thrilled by the amazing possibilities this site offers and can’t wait to share it with families. Get in touch to arrange your tour."
