Country Day Nurseries

My son has been at Country Day Nursery for just over a year. He started when he had turned two and had never been away from me for more than an hour or so. It took a couple of days to settle him in and after that, he was always happy to go. The staff are always really friendly and go out of their way to help my son feel content. He is really sporty so they bought him a cricket bat to play with in the playground. He is also quite a fussy eater and when I asked the staff, they were more than happy to sit with him and offer encouragement to finish off his lunch. These small things make such a difference as a parent and I would heartily recommend this nursery to anyone. They are always outside playing, which I love, and I can tell my little boy is very happy there.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 7-months-old as a snowdrop and she is now a little acorn at almost 3 years, it is incredible to see how much she has grown and developed over the last two years. The woodland setting is just incredible but for us, without a doubt, the best feature is the amazing staff, they are always friendly, attentive and caring and my daughter absolutely loves her days there.

I’m so happy with my choice to send my daughter to Country Day Nurseries, she’s a really reserved child but I’ve really seen her come out of herself and become more confident among her peers and other adults during her two years at the nursery. The staff take genuine, personal interest in the children and my daughter has formed strong bonds with her key people. It’s small enough that all staff seem to know all of the children, regardless of which area they work in, which is lovely and reassuring in terms of safety. I’m always confident that she’s well looked out for and the range of play and development activities manage to keep a hectic toddler well entertained! I also like the emphasis on outdoor time, whatever the weather. She really enjoys her time there and comes out beaming every day and is excited to tell me what she’s been doing. I won’t hesitate to send my youngest baby there when I go back to work.

Prior to Country Day Nurseries, I had moved my child from another nursery to a childminder; neither setting worked for us for different reasons - we had heard good things about Country Day (Penton Mewsey) and decided to give it a go. We are very pleased with our child's progress at Country Day, the staff are caring and helpful - very approachable with anything that needs to be discussed. Communication is excellent via management and my daughter loves it. My boys attended shortly until I gave up work and I'm pleased they will be returning in 2023. I would highly recommend this nursery.

We have been really impressed with Country Day Nurseries. For starters, the staff are really approachable and build up a lovely rapport with the children, developing the children's skills in a fun and playful way. Secondly, the setting is fantastic. Each room contains a variety of resources appropriate to the children's ages. The outdoor space includes woodland as well as more traditional playground space and a great covered area for the babies. Our child talks a lot about outside play at nursery. The management and communication are excellent which is great for parents. The meals are healthy and our child really enjoys them. Our child took some time to settle in as a baby but I always felt reassured by the staff and despite the disruption caused by Covid, she has been thriving at nursery for over two years.

My son has been full-time at this wonderful nursery since he was 6-months-old. He is so at home here and it is reassuring to me that our friends have accepted our recommendations and have their children here too. There is a wealth of opportunity for childcare, but this nursery is head-and-shoulders above the majority. It is also a testament to the company as a business that staff turnover is low.

In short, Country Day is fantastic and they enable me to be fully present at work knowing my children are well taken care of.

The children always enjoy going to school and have lots to talk about at the end of nursery days.

With him being a lockdown baby I was so worried about leaving him somewhere new and with new people, as I hadn’t done this due to the numerous lockdowns, however, the staff put me at ease and continue to do so. I highly recommend this nursery for your little ones, they truly are just amazing staff, they have amazing grounds for the little ones to explore and the activities they do with the children are great. I love that we also get weekly updates on the app. Thank you Country Day Nursery for everything.

I am so happy with this nursery and my son absolutely loves going. I find all the staff so lovely and engaged and they go over and above to make every child feel valued. The setting is perfect for kids to play outdoors and learn about nature and run off their energy. We've moved through all the rooms and they've been fantastic at every stage, my son adores the friends he's made and all his teachers, and his learning and development has exceeded all expectations.

Country Day Nurseries has been a fantastic nursery for our family. The support our children have received over the years has been wonderful and their growth and development has been really enjoyable to watch across all rooms of the nursery. I really can not fault the staff, from the welcome we receive in the morning to the range of activities and resources they offer and also simply the care they show towards each child as an individual. The setting is beautiful and provides such an ideal mix of indoor and outdoor learning, the children have very regular use of the secure woodland space and also the individual garden areas which was a very important factor for us when choosing a nursery setting - something more than just a small garden. Lots of happy memories and friendships have been made here! Highly recommended by us.

What a special place Country Day Nursery is. If you are looking for a nursery that offers plenty of outdoor space for your child to explore, a caring and supportive learning environment, healthy and nutritious home-cooked meals and a place where your child will be excited to attend then look no further. Country Day Nursery offers all of this and more and we cannot thank the staff enough for their care and support for our child. You really will be leaving your child in the best of care.

I have used this nursery with both my children and could not fault it. In what has been a hugely disruptive year, the flexibility that was afforded to us as a dual key-working family was brilliant. Additionally, the care and attention that my son received meant that he has viewed this year’s changes as exciting and fun rather than unsettling. As a military family, we are also very pleased with the value of the childcare. A discount is offered which has been invaluable to us. Overall the staff have been wonderful, the setting is beautiful and continues to evolve and improve. We have had no complaints in 6 years!

Country Day is a lovely, friendly and happy place, where our two boys are excited to go each time. The setting is wonderful with safe, wide outdoor spaces. There are four rooms across the nursery which children progress through as they grow.

My son has been attending the Nursery since July this year and he absolutely loves it. Every day he comes home excited to tell us about his day and how much he loves the staff there. The nursery is such a lovely location with woods right on their doorstep. The staff are so lovely and easy to talk to which makes me feel comfortable and trust them leaving my son there.

Country Day Nursery is absolutely brilliant. The staff are all so lovely and welcoming. My son started in January this year, he loves every minute. They do so many activities and he has progressed so much in such a short space of time since going.

My little one started in September and after not seeing many people due to the current pandemic he was quite wary of new people. He is now into his second month and he loves it. He looks forward to going and I’m always greeted with a huge smile when I pick him up. The staff are so lovely and always update me on his day when I pick him up. The location is wonderful with a beautiful old building surrounded by secure woods. He loves being outside and I know he gets to play a lot outside so he’s very happy. Country Day Nurseries have most certainly made this huge decision (to start him at nursery) one which I am so pleased to have made. Thank you so very much.

We would highly recommend Country Day and are very happy with our choice of nursery especially when drop offs and pick ups are greeted with lovely kind staff and a very content child!

I have already recommended this nursery to a friend who has switched and more friends joining in the new year, which goes to show how good its reputation is.

I have 2 children that attend the nursery the staff have been fantastic I’ve found them all very kind and help helpful. My two children settled in so quickly and both love attending which makes drop off so easy. The nursery is in a beautiful setting with lots of outdoor space to explore. I’m so happy with how they have progressed since joining the nursery. They keep you up to date with picture and videos of what the children have been up to which is great as I can see by their faces how much fun they are having. The food menu is amazing - both my kids enjoy the food and most days have seconds. I would recommend Country Day to all.
