Review from Sandrine S (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our experience with Poppies couldn't be better. All the staff is extremely careful, after almost 2 years I could consider them our extended family. They are always so helpful, our son had some learning development difficulties and the team went beyond our expectations to help us. It made so much difference for him and I can't recommend them enough. If you are looking for a nursery in Maidenhead or Cookham area look no further - this place is just gold. Thanks a lot to the team, we'll always have amazing memories and our son was extremely happy in his time with you.

Overall Experience

We love Poppies! Our son has settled in brilliantly and always leaves looking like he has had the BEST time. This is all down to the wonderful Poppies team. The children complete lots of fun activities and we always feel confident that our son is being well cared for. Communications to parents are excellent, particularly during the Covid-19 restrictions, and assessment against the EYFS is very good. This is our first experience of a nursery environment and we are so pleased with our choice. We would highly recommend!

Overall Experience

My wife and I highly recommend Poppies Day Nursery in Maidenhead. Our son has been attending since June (at 10 months old) and has settled quickly, he points excitedly on the way in and returns to us at the end of the day smiling and laughing. Updates from the team at handover combined with regular posts on Tapestry assure us that our son is cared for in a stimulating and sociable environment at Nursery, which is having a visibly positive impact on his development. This is testament to the happy, caring and positive environment that the team create (despite recent Covid-19 challenges). Communication is excellent, professionalism - with personal touches - is outstanding and we're really happy with the variety and quality of the food offering too. So glad to have been introduced to Poppies Maidenhead and haven't looked back since!

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Poppies since July 2019 in the under 2's room. I can not praise the staff enough, they put so much energy and care into looking after the children. They are all very friendly. I can tell that my son enjoys going there. I love receiving all the artwork he does there and hearing about all the activities that he has been up to. They also have a great, healthy menu.

Review from Helen B (Mother of Child) published on 6 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been so impressed with Poppies Day Nursery in Maidenhead since our two daughters started there in February this year, in the under 2's room. They run the nursery extremely well and all the staff are so welcoming and friendly. We cannot fault anything. There is a genuine interest from the staff in our children which is really comforting. During the recent lock-down, we were so impressed with the communication and activities sent to us from the nursery. Poppies in our opinion went above and beyond and we are really grateful for that. We are looking forward to our children growing up with Poppies Day Nursery being a big part of that. Well done Poppies for running a fantastic nursery and thank you.

Overall Experience

Led by an excellent nursery manager, Poppies has been a great experience for our boy. The staff have consistently shown interest in his development, been professional and caring. Communication has always been good. They have handled the COVID situation professionally and kept parents up-to-date. I have recommended Poppies to a number of friends and will continue to do so.

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Poppies since the start of the year. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with the care, attention and love he receives there. All of the staff are genuinely 100% there for the children. The facilities here are first class and of particular note are the freshly prepared and healthy meal options cooked by the chef. Our son is engaged with the carers and his curiosity fed by the various games and learning activities that they organise. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience
I would highly recommend Poppies Day Nursery Maidenhead. They have an amazing management team and such a genuine, caring and professional staff in general.
I have had a brilliant experience with 3 of the Poppies Day nurseries with my two kids over the past 5 years and they have all been consistent and truly great.
My boys loved going to nursery, they had a great time, learned new things and developed very well. The staff and management are very thorough, detailed, caring and responsive. we were so happy with Poppies Day nursery Maidenhead, and it truly felt like a second home.

I would highly recommend Poppies Day Nursery Maidenhead to everyone. I am one of many of their biggest fans. Keep up the great work.

Review from Katie P (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have two children attending this nursery, and they absolutely love it. My son literally charges out the door to nursery each morning. The staff are so friendly and caring. They take time to engage with all the children and the children there are happy, confident and friendly.
The nursery is relatively new, very well designed and super clean. The food is prepared fresh on-site and looks tasty. The staff are particularly good at getting even picky eaters to at least try each meal.

I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery - it really is excellent.

Review from Anjalee (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Poppies Day Nursery Maidenhead is one of the best in the area. The nursery manager and her staff are very well trained and helpful. It is a very happy place and you feel all the positive energies when you enter the building, which the children pick up on instantly. My boy went there only a few months and we had to take him out due to house move. I was extremely sad to take him out of this nursery and miss the nursery and its friendly staff very much so, that I am still on the search for a new nursery for my son that can match the standards at Poppies.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. Thank you Poppies and keep up the great work you guys do.

Overall Experience

So far I am very pleased with how the staff have welcomed my daughter. She has only been there a short while but the time she has spent there she has thoroughly enjoyed and always has the biggest smile when I collect her. The staff are very pleasant, friendly and professional, never without a smile.

Review from Jessica A (Mother of Child) published on 17 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The nursery is in a new building and is clean and spacious. There is a wonderful selection of toys including soft play equipment. The staff are very friendly and approachable, many of the senior staff are also very experienced. My daughter seems to be having a great time with lots of different activities. She also gets lots of outdoor time - the large outdoor space on a big terrace leads straight off the baby room (similar set up downstairs for older children).

I am very pleased with Poppies Maidenhead and would thoroughly recommend it.

The nursery setting and staff alike are brilliant. I know when my daughter is there she is being cared for by amazing people. The activities and routines are great. She is always so happy to go to the nursery which makes me equally as happy. What more could I want?

Review from Kayleigh F (Mother of Child) published on 17 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started at Poppies Maidenhead when it first opened in August. He attends three full days a week and he loves it! He’s 15 months so he’s in the Baby Room which is full of so many toys and activities and he is kept fully entertained all day! The staff are brilliant - so attentive, friendly and caring and they really couldn’t do more to make sure he has a great day. As it’s a brand new nursery, it’s immaculate, bright and spacious and the rooftop garden is a fantastic outside space.

I know that whilst I’m at work he is being cared for, entertained, loved and listened to whilst also being encouraged to achieve all his milestones and develop into the little boy he’s turning out to be. I highly recommend Poppies.

Overall Experience

My twins joined Poppies in August when the Maidenhead branch opened. Their settling in process was seamless, the staff took their time to get to know them both and we discussed their full routine. I am really happy with Poppies nursery, the staff are very knowledgeable, very approachable and extremely caring. I feel very comfortable going to work knowing that they are being well cared for, and are experiencing lots of new activities each day. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
