Poppies Day Nursery Maidenhead

My son has been at Poppies since November last year. It has been great - they have been clear about my son's development if there are any issues and where he is doing really well.

Most recently the nursery put on a mother's day tea. This was a great opportunity to go into the nursery and observe/play with my son! He showed me his favourite bits (unfortunately he has a love of bugs but never mind) and it demonstrated how the nursery accommodates all of the children's needs and interests.

More generally, what I really will praise the nursery for is their communication of upcoming events etc. so you are able to plan and manage life effectively.

Our daughter has been with Poppies for 9 months and moved from the baby room to toddlers recently. The progress and development we have seen in her during this time is a credit to the staff and facilities at Poppies. Our daughter is happy, confident and loves going to ‘nursery’. The staff are always friendly, helpful and caring. We would happily recommend Poppies to anyone looking for a nursery for their child and feel confident that her developmental, educational, physical and emotional needs are being met.

We were delighted recently to attend a Mother's Day celebration hosted by the preschool at Poppies nursery. The event was an opportunity to see the children in situ for the first time in a while due to Covid restrictions, and it was evident that they loved enjoying the indoor and outdoor space. The whole event was an example of the positive relationships that Poppies have fostered with both parents and children, and the thoughtfulness and kindness that has characterised our experience of Poppies to date.

I would highly recommend it to everyone.

This is an amazing nursery my son started at 8 months in the baby nest and settled in straight away the staff are amazing kind and caring and he loves them all. He is always happy to go in in the mornings and the feedback at the end of the day is great as well as the daily reports on EYlog.

I am really impressed with the amount my child (15months) is learning, as well as the amount of activities and engagement the nursery has with cultural events. The staff are always happy to answer any questions I have and all seem to enjoy their work. So glad I chose this nursery, the manager is doing a great job.

We are very pleased with the care our daughter is receiving at Poppies in Maidenhead. She is supported in her learning progress and we very much appreciate the feedback provided by staff, in-person and online. Staff always make themselves available and we are very much impressed by their energy and creativity. Our daughter is always happy to come to the nursery and every morning opens her arms to give them a cuddle and greet them, which for us says it all!

We have been delighted with Poppies Day Nursery Maidenhead. Our son has attended since May 2019 and we were so pleased with how quickly he settled in the Baby Room. When he returned to Big Explorers after lockdown, our son was initially quite unsettled. The manager and team really went out of their way to make him feel happy, secure and relaxed and after a short while, he was back to his usual cheerful, confident self and looking forward to going in the mornings. He is now in Pre-School and it is so lovely to see his confidence continue to grow and hear him talk about all the activities he does and hear about the staff and other children.

The staff are incredibly caring, friendly and do everything they can to make learning fun and exciting. Days are well planned with a variety of activities for all weathers that are both engaging and educational. Both the outdoor and indoor spaces are great and the menu offered is varied and full of healthy options.

Very happy with the nursery. My daughter has been quite unsettled since birth but the nursery has done an amazing job at getting her to settle in really well. My daughter has an intolerance and they have catered for it really well and taken all necessary precautions.

We have been delighted with Poppies Day Nursery. The staff are incredibly caring, friendly and really makes learning exciting. My daughter loves the food and activities provided. We are so pleased with how quickly she settled and how happy she is with her key workers. Thank you so much!

My son attended Poppies Day Nursery for two years and ever since he joined, the staff always went above and beyond to accommodate us. My son thoroughly enjoyed his time at the nursery and was very sad to move on to school. Poppies ensured that my son was ready for this transition and every day he was learning new skills. We cannot fault Poppies and would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a great place for their children to develop.

My daughter has been attending Poppies for the last 6 months. She joined when she was 8 months. We have had the best experience, they are so caring in Poppies. All I can say is that she happily walks in in the morning and never wants to leave in the afternoon, we have to drag her out literally. She is happy, content, and learns lots. She has an egg allergy and they are being so caring and careful, never had a problem. Totally recommended.

Poppies are excellent, the staff are very knowledgeable and trustworthy. They have a great selection of toys and our daughter is very happy there. I love that they have a rotation of good activities and a separate sleep room for the babies.

Love the team at Poppies, they are friendly and helpful and most importantly my little one loves it here. Great interaction with the children, they are always getting up to loads of activities from baking cakes to learning French. Would highly recommend.

It's hard to let go of your dearest baby into someone else's care, but Poppies managed this with so much compassion and consideration of our daily routine at home. My daughter smiles the minute she arrives at the front door, and I know she receives the best care when she is there, as well as being stimulated in a way that I couldn't do on my own at home. It's really easy to keep track of her days with the app as well as the round up the friendly staff gives at the end of the day. Shout out to the chef too as he has been very flexible with our weaning journey. I would highly recommend.

We are so happy that our son goes to Poppies in Maidenhead and really rate the team there. The managers and the team are outgoing and fun and the days are well planned with a variety of activities for all weathers that are engaging and educational. Our son comes home happy and relaxed and enjoys going every day. The free flow space works really well with the children being outside a lot and the inside space is large and cheerful without being cluttered. Most days our son comes home clean too as care is taken that he doesn’t get crazy messy. The menu is exceptional with loads of choices including breakfast and a wide range of world food and vegetarian options. The team keeps us updated every day with what our son has been doing, providing us with great feedback and conversation points for dinner time at home. We will be keeping our son at Poppies until he starts school and I know he will be very sad to leave!

Our experience with the nursery has been extremely good. My child is looked after well and he is eager to go back to nursery every day. He is learning new things as well. His daily activities are updated in an app which is very helpful to review. His carers are friendly and we get good updates when we pick him up. The nursery has high standards overall.

After receiving positive and reassuring feedback from friends, I decided to send my child to Poppies Day Nursery Maidenhead. The staff have been caring and friendly and you can see there is a great working relationship between the staff. My child settled in so well and loves going to nursery! Communication is professional and regular, activities are varied and food is fresh, healthy and delicious! I would highly recommend this fantastic nursery to any parent or carer!

We would highly recommend Poppies Day Nursery Maidenhead. Our son joined at two years old in the explorers room and moved up to preschool. We had an easy transition from his previous setting, the staff made it very smooth and professional. The management and administration is great and responsive. The whole team is so friendly and caring, they felt like family to us. Their online app system is brilliant for instant development updates and lots of photos and videos. Their meals are organic and they prepare the menu for each child’s dietary requirements. In our case, they provided milk alternatives for his dairy free diet and even dairy free snacks. They are supporting and practicing second languages. They managed the Covid-19 situation extremely well and kept us informed throughout. My son's key career phoned us during the first lockdown, checking in how we are coping and they uploaded useful activity ideas, yoga exercises and stories. Plenty of parking and shops and a post office next door.

The manager and the team are absolutely brilliant. The nursery is extremely well run and the communication has been great. The team are friendly, caring, incredibly professional and having had our son with them over the past 18 months, we couldn't have asked any more of them. Most days our little boy doesn't want to come home, he's had such fun.
