The Maples Day Nursery

for the kids to play and have many adventures. Staff members were absolutely wonderful with her and will be terribly missed by her. I highly recommend this nursery.

grounds. The nursery is flexible with adhoc extra days and gives lots of notice of any changes to the calendar.

that have looked after my son for the past 18-months. The carers in Bluebells and Buttercups (and in catering) have been absolutely fantastic in their care and affection for my son. Their attention to detail, their patience with the children, the dedication and commitment that they bring to their roles, in my experience, is second to none. Importantly this care and attention translate directly into the learning and creative environment that they empower, and the result is a child that is inspired, articulate and happy. There has never been one morning that my son has not run into the nursery.

professional whilst still affectionate and emotionally connected.
Each member of the team has celebrated the growth in his character, enjoying him and encouraging us as a family.
The curiosity approach and environmentally friendly ethos is engrained in this lovely nursery. This can only be improved as they implement their emotion coaching training which they invested in this year.
We could not recommend them more highly.

before she settled in very quickly. She loves going to nursery and happily waves me goodbye every morning. The staff are great, very friendly, caring and have been very accommodating.

aspect that I think could be improved is the food. I think they should make it healthier, and help the children to eat more vegetables.

approach has been a real breath of fresh air and has suited our son and our family perfectly.
The setting is not only beautiful to look at (very different to most other nurseries we’ve visited) but is cosy and inviting, which is all part of the nurturing environment that has been created at The Maples.
The regular access to local Gardens is amazing and the icing on the cake, our son particularly loves going there for forest school.
Our son has come on leaps and bounds since starting at The Maples, he has grown in confidence and is a happy settled little boy who loves to learn.
We couldn’t ask for any more from a nursery setting and we would recommend to anyone.

loves to run around in contact with nature, especially checking the plants. They do a lot of fun activities. She has a great relationship there and feels incredibly secure and she is very happy. I really recommend The Maples Day Nursery.

the open plan of the playing areas, spacious, clean and modern. She also likes the nursery's food. Her teachers are caring and nice. The management is very kind, understanding and accommodating. We also like the eco-friendly ethos of the Maples, no plastic!

It’s really all we ever dreamed of. To top off the wonderful staff, the classrooms are beautiful and child-friendly. Our fussy little eater also loves the food! We just cannot be happier that we have found a home away from home for him. The ultimate surprise for us really is the access to Winterborne Gardens, it’s their little piece of heaven. He comes home and tells me all about his ‘school garden’ and his vegetables that he planted. How much they have grown and he gets to water them! It’s really something special watching your child grow and be nurtured by people who really care for him.

as a parent too. She has flourished since she has been at The Maples in so many ways; she has become more independent and more physical than she ever has before; she adores Winterbourne Gardens and particularly the allotment and Forest School. Her interest in nature and the outdoors has risen markedly and she loves being outside now. Every day there are new activities and the environment changes constantly which is so stimulating for her; it's evident that the staff put so much thought into the set up each day and always pay attention to topics that are interesting her and encourage this. The staff are also warm and provide comfort to my daughter; she talks about the staff all of the time.

quicker than expected. The boys are now more comfortable in themselves, caring, knowledgable and most importantly creative and curious as a result of attending. The free flow access to Winterbourne Gardens is a dream, and the boys are clearly more interested in nature now. The sustainability of the nursery is a great plus too.

The boys’ individual needs are being well met and we are talking about encouraging more independence as school starts next year which is very forward-thinking of the nursery. Our questions, queries or concerns have been dealt with professionally and with integrity.

We hope many more families can have the wonderful experience we have.

very satisfied with Maples Nursery and have recommended it to many of our friends.

and has a lovely relationship with his key person who he talks about all of the time. I couldn't recommend it any more.

have its own outdoor area, the children also regularly get to visit Winterbourne Gardens to play, explore and plant vegetables in the nursery's allotment. We have not looked back - Maples Nursery is a very special place, where our son plays and develops and we have peace of mind that he is in good hands.

curiosity approach and the lovely atmosphere.
Our son has been in another nursery before and it was amazing to see how his behaviour changed in this new environment. He really enjoys being there and he really likes going to the winterbourne gardens and the woods.
It's really worth the money!
