She truly loves going there. Every morning she walks in happily, and every afternoon she comes out smiling - which tells me everything I need to know. Knowing she feels safe, cared for, and happy there means the world to me.
All the teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and caring. You can genuinely see how much they love working with children. I also want to say how wonderful the management team is. Nina (Manager) is such a warm, supportive person and always helpful in any situation. Donna is equally lovely - both of them are amazing and always there when you need them.
Before choosing this nursery, I visited several others in the area, but this one just felt right. Now I know it truly was the best choice for my daughter.

We're so pleased to hear how much she...
Coming from a London nursery, we thought we had high standards, but Poppies has completely exceeded them. The level of care, attention, and love our children are receiving is simply on another level. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a nurturing and inspiring place. A huge thank you to the entire team for doing such an excellent job - you've made this transition feel seamless and joyful for our whole family!

Its wonderful to know that the care, passion, and enthusiasm of our staff have made such a positive impact on your familys transition.
I really feel the nursery has taken the time to know my child.
Always a very friendly face by management at the door.
It's a happy place with lots of kindness and structure. What more could you want for your child?

The staff are brilliant with the children and are really friendly and very approachable if we have any questions.
We get daily updates regarding eating, nap times, nappies and get nice photos of our daughter having fun. All this is done through a very easy to use app.
My daughter loves going to nursery and it has 100% helped with her confidence.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so happy to hear that you've had such a positive experience with Poppies Day Nursery. Our team is dedicated to providing a caring and supportive environment, so its lovely to know that your daughter enjoys her time with us and that you've found our...
We're first time parents both in full time employment and it makes such a difference knowing she's well looked after, safe and happy there.
The communication has always been great both on emails and when the nursery need to call for any reason throughout the day, we always feel very kept in the loop.
The daily updates on the app are very much appreciated to know nap durations, play descriptions and what she ate.
All the staff are really friendly and caring and I feel they know and look after our daughter well and we couldn't ask for more.
Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! It's truly heartwarming to hear how happy and settled your daughter is at Poppies. We understand how important it is for first-time parents to have that peace of mind, and we're so glad that our communication and daily updates help you feel connected to her day.
We are very happy with the care our daughter receives at Poppies. She has an allergy; this has always been taken incredibly seriously, and she really enjoys their carefully prepared, nutritious meals. The outdoor space is lovely, and her key workers are kind and caring. The additional family engagement events, like Fathers' Day play or a Carnival day on a Saturday, have also been thoughtful touches.
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear how happy you are with the care your daughter receives at Poppies. Managing allergies is something we take incredibly seriously, and it's wonderful to know she's thriving with our nutritious meals. Our outdoor space is a favourite...
We are really happy with Poppies Day Nursery. Our daughter settled in immediately and loves going there. She’s bonded really well with the staff, who I feel genuinely care about her and her development. She enjoys all the activities to the max! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to other parents.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your little one loves coming to the nursery and enjoys the activities planned for them.
It’s wonderful at the end of every day to see what she has been doing. She enjoys playing with all of her friends and eats all of her food. The meals prepared by the Chef are brilliant, a perfect combination of tasty and healthy.
It’s a joy to see how she responds going into nursery in the morning and how happy she is during the day and when we pick her up.
The staff at Poppies are amazing and we can't imagine her going to nursery anywhere else!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter is thriving at Poppies in Maidenhead. It's wonderful to know that she's enjoying her time with her key workers, making friends, and relishing the delicious meals prepared by our Chef.
Since January 2023, the nursery has had 4 managers. This has meant there has been a lack of consistency and a huge lack of communication. The latest manager is trying to improve things where possible but this is too little too late for us and have withdrawn our child.
The majority of the permanent staff are lovely, however, they are severely short-staffed. Rooms are always filled with cover staff meaning the children have a lack of consistency with their carers. We were asked to not bring our child in one day because of a lack of staff. There is a severe lack of feedback. Zero pictures or videos of activities our child has taken part in. No individual feedback. There has been one parent's evening in the last 12 months. We've had one observation since July 2023. We have spent thousands and feel ripped off. I wish I could write more.
Thank you for your review which is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback, please do contact us at feedback@familyfirstnurseries.com so we can discuss concerns.
Our two sons have been going to Poppies for 9 months now since we moved to the area. We were very pleased with how well and quickly they settled into the setting, both in the baby room and the preschool room. The team are incredibly friendly, helpful, and on the ball. The staff, both in the rooms and the senior staff, really care for the kids and take time to do proper handovers so we can support them together. The nursery itself is purpose-built so has plenty of space, outdoor areas, and easy parking. The facilities are much better than the other nurseries we saw in the area. The children enjoy the food and the activities, and our older son comes home talking about letters or new ideas he's come across in the books or the activities in preschool. Thank you Poppies.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your sons have had a great experience at Poppies over the past 9 months. It is wonderful to know that they settled in quickly and that you've found our team to be friendly, helpful, and caring.
Our little one has been going to Poppies Day Nursery for the past few months, and from day one, the team has been nothing but outstanding! Starting from the settling sessions through to the everyday care for him, the team has met and exceeded our expectations! Since he started, he has become much more confident and independent, thanks to the amazing carers supporting his development and learning!
Thank you for this wonderful review! We are delighted your little one is having a good experience at our nursery.
We looked at a lot of nurseries in the local area, and Poppies really ticked all the boxes for us in many ways. The team are incredibly friendly and has been so understanding when we had many delays with our move to Maidenhead, which was a huge relief!
The nursery is purpose-built, clean and very conveniently located with great parking.
Our son is in the toddler room, and he honestly loves going to nursery and often talks of his favourite teachers. This is a very obvious sign that the staff are incredibly caring, loving and nurturing to the children. They also have a great garden which I found was something not all nurseries had as we feel outdoor play is crucial for children.
We would really recommend Poppies as it really is so important to feel your child is safe and happy, and we can 100% agree that we feel this at Poppies.
Thank you for letting us know how pleased you are with our nursery. We are delighted to hear that your little one is having a good experience at the nursery.
My son has been at the nursery (under 2’s) for over 6 months and absolutely loves it. As a parent, I’m pleased with the genuine level of care the nursery professionals show. The nursery itself is clean and tidy and the learning and creative schedule is great. Fantastic app, engagement from everyone, and the quality of the handover means we don’t miss a thing.
Thank you for this lovely review! We are delighted your little one is having a good experience at our nursery and you are happy with the engagement you are receiving from the team.
The staff are so friendly and make you feel at home straight away. My little boy has been happy here since day one.
My child loves playing with all the wooden toys and the sand pit. I would highly recommend Poppies.
Thank you for the review and lovely to see your son happy at our nursery, and exploring all the resources we provide.
Such a great team. My son loves to go in and always comes home happy. The app is great but I also get a great handover from the team. Great co-parenting! Thank you.
Hello, thank you for this lovely review! We are happy to hear that your little one is having a good experience at our nursery.
We couldn't recommend it more highly. Very happy with our choice.
Hello, thank you for this lovely review! We are happy to hear that your little one is having a good experience at our nursery.
Everything and everyone is excellent.
Thank you for the review and saying our nursery is excellent.
Our son has been at Poppies Maidenhead for 3 months from 13 months old. All of the staff have been amazing at helping him (and us!) settle into a new routine of nursery and work. One member of staff, in particular, has been absolutely awesome and genuinely cares for the kids she is responsible for and our son has built up a great relationship with her. We are new to the area, so finding a nursery that worked for us was important. Really pleased we chose Poppies.
Thank you for the review and saying staff are amazing.
We're really happy with Poppies and how our child has settled in. Thank you to all at Poppies.
Thank you for the review, we are pleased you enjoyed Mother's Day afternoon tea with your child.
A big thank you to the team.
My child loves you and I love you too.
Thank you for the review and for loving us, we are so happy to have you as part of our nursery family.
