My 2.5 year old daughter started at the nursery when she had just turned 1. She started in the baby room and I was able to bring in expressed breast milk which they stored in the fridge with no issues at all which put me at ease from the start. The staff are all so welcoming and the children get to do lots of activities and go for walks around the local area. My daughter finds it difficult to separate from me on the morning drop off but the staff are so good with her and she soon settles.
The food menus are great with such a variety of meals and healthy foods on offer. My daughter will be staying at the nursery until she is ready to start school. I would recommend to anyone considering a nursery setting for their child
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Were delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled and that youve felt supported from the very beginning. It means a lot to the team to know the care, activities, and meals we provide are making such a positive difference.
Our daughter started nursery in September 2025 and has come on leaps and bounds with her social skills and confidence. She has a few developmental delays and the baby room staff have been so incredibly caring and supportive, ensuring she can still be part of all activities and have adapted certain things to suit her needs. Our daughter absolutely loves attending nursery and smiles every morning when we arrive. Her dad and I feel at ease leaving her in the capable hands of all the lovely staff and feel we have built great relationships with them, allowing us to openly and honestly discuss details of her development and care. The staff know the likes and dislikes of each individual child and you never feel like they are 'just a number'. I would highly recommend this nursery to anybody who is thinking about sending their child here.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. Its wonderful to hear how much your daughter has grown in confidence and how supported she has felt in the baby room. The team will be so pleased to know their care and adaptations have made a real difference for her and for you as...
But the best thing about this nursery is the staff. Both my children attend and run in happily every time. They are greeted with warmth, love, and lots of friendly faces. We have great trust in the nursery nurses and feel incredibly lucky to have found such a fantastic setting.
The communication is very good, and we enjoy seeing photos and descriptions of what our children have done every day. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for such a wonderful review. Were delighted to hear how happily your children come in each day and how much you value the team, environment and communication. It means a lot to know you feel confident in our care and would recommend us so highly.
My kids love marston day, they have grown so much and love all the staff there. I've always felt comfortable and secure to leave them there. They love going there and always so excited. Staff are so helpful even when I've had any concerns they were quick to help and support.
Thank you for your lovely review. Were so pleased to hear how much your children enjoy coming to nursery and that youve always felt supported and reassured. It means a lot to know our team has helped make their experience so positive.
I've got nothing but positive things to say about the marston day nursery, the support I've received to do with my child who is on the pathway to autism. All the girls have made an impact on our time at the nursery and I can't recommend them enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Were really glad to hear that youve felt supported throughout your childs journey, and it means a lot to know our team has made such a positive impact. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
I was initially very nervous about sending my child to nursery but the staff have been amazing and I will now confidently be sending my next child to nursery this year. Definitely recommend.
Thank you for your lovely review. Were so pleased to hear how supported youve felt and that your child has settled so confidently. Its wonderful to know our team, activities and daily updates have helped make the experience so positive. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
From day one we have felt welcome as a family to the nursery. There is a real family feel to the whole nursery setting, the staff are friendly and accommodating. The staff and environment make my son feel safe and allow him all opportunities to explore and be happy. I love that they get to explore the community around them on walks and trips out as well. The food that my child is offered is highly nutritional and I love that the app provides updates about this as well as sleep & nappy changes. This really supports me as a mum for when I take over the care at home, I can understand a bit more about his needs with this information. The only thing for me is in toddlers the outside space is much smaller from babies room but again the nursery make the most of what they have and create opportunities to explore out there as best they can. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review. Were delighted your family has felt so welcome and that your son feels safe, happy and supported with us. Its lovely to hear how much you value the activities, community walks and daily updates. We appreciate your feedback about the outdoor space and are glad the team makes the most of it. Thank you for recommending us.
We are so happy with our choice of nursery. Originally we wanted a childminder which fell through which was so upsetting but honestly the nursery was the right environment for our child. I am confident she wouldn't have come on as much in a smaller setting, she is challenged but supported here. She has attended since she was 11 months and is developing so well. The staff invest so much time in activities and the children are outside at any opportunity. The staff are approachable, knowledgable and happy to discuss your child at any time. I can tell this is a well run nursery from stories I have heard from friends about others locally.
Thank you for such thoughtful feedback. Were delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled and how much shes thriving in our environment. Its wonderful to know you feel supported by the team and confident in the care, activities and outdoor opportunities we provide. We truly appreciate your kind words.
How amazing Marston Day Nursery is! My child is very happy there. The mornings she goes to the nursery she sits in her coat and shoes way before leaving time. And the staff there is amazing and very kind! The facilities are great, the kids do lots of activities every day. Lovely outside play area for the little ones.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Were so happy to hear how much your child enjoys coming in and that our team and activities have made such a positive impact. Its wonderful to know she feels excited and supported every nursery day.
I honestly couldn't be happier with this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been so warm, welcoming and attentive. My son settled in quickly and now runs in with a smile, which says everything. He's grown in confidence and learned so much already. It's such a comfort knowing he's somewhere he feels safe, happy and encouraged every day.
Thank you for such a wonderful review. Were so pleased to hear how quickly your son settled in and that he feels happy, confident and supported with us each day. Its lovely to know our team has helped make his nursery experience so positive.
My son started nursery a few months before he was 1 in the baby room, he then was moved up to the toddler room, both rooms have been amazing! It's really positive sending your young child to nursery and knowing they will be safe, looked arfter and have fun.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Were delighted to hear how well your son has settled in and that youve had such a positive experience with both the baby and toddler rooms. It means a lot to know you feel confident and supported while he learns and grows with us.
The staff in preschool are great and are really helpful in delivering information when needed.
I really enjoy all the other events that the nursery do too such as the Christmas fair which was a great way to socialise with everyone
Thank you for such a lovely review. Were so pleased to hear how much confidence and joy your daughter has gained, and its wonderful that she talks so proudly about her time in preschool. Our team really appreciates your kind words, and were glad you enjoy the events we put on for families too.
The babies are always doing such great activities, and it's great how often they spend time outdoors. And she's always coming home having learnt something new!
The food options are tasty and varied, putting my cooking to shame!
The girls in the baby room swiftly spotted when my daughter became quite unwell and acted promptly in informing me & caring for her.
The nursery also has the added benefit of being warm in winter but cool in summer (air con). All around an excellent nursery!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Were delighted to hear how happy your daughter is in the baby room and that you feel confident leaving her in our care. The team will be thrilled to read your kind words.
I couldn't be happier with my baby's nursery. The team takes such wonderful care of my little boy, and it really shows - he lights up with the biggest smile the moment he sees the building every morning. Knowing that he is so excited to be there gives me complete peace of mind. The staff are caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to the children's wellbeing. I feel confident every day that he is safe, well looked after, and genuinely happy. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Were delighted to hear how happy your little boy is each day it means the world to our team. Knowing you feel confident and at ease is exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
baby room. Initially the transition was so hard on both myself and him, but the staff in Baby room were so supportive during this time. Now we has formed wonderful bonds with the staff and genuinely loves going every day.
The food and snacks on offer are out of this world! (almost ashamed when I have to feed him!).
They've really formed a stable routine with nap times etc which really carries through to when he is at home.
Lastly, and certainly not least - the activities the team dream up every day are so engaging and creative, you just know that your child will be thoroughly entertained all day - and I love that they are encouraged to be out in the garden as much as possible.
Thank you, Baby Room!
He had such a special bond with his key worker in the baby room, and we are so thankful that this was the first experience he had of being in someone else's care. He can be quite shy and sensitive but he settled there much quicker than we expected, and the baby room team have been amazing in helping him to grow in confidence.
The nursery is always so clean, the toys are perfect to accommodate whatever stage they are in and the outside space is great.
Our little girl is due to start next year and we know she will be very happy there.
Thank you to all of the lovely staff!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Were delighted to hear how well your son has settled and that he built such a special bond with his key worker. Its lovely to know hes growing in confidence and enjoying his time with us. We really appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming your little girl next year.
My daughter loves going to The Marston Day Nursery! She has been going since she was 9 months and her key worker/ room leader in the baby room as been instrumental in her development. She has built strong bonds with all the team in the room and she is always smiling when we pick her up! The food is brilliant and I am sure she prefers this to my cooking now! The menu is balanced and there is always good variety! just a massive thank you to all the staff for all the hard work!!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Were delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled and that shes built such strong bonds with the team. Its wonderful to know she enjoys the meals and comes home smiling. Your kind words mean a lot to everyone at Marston.
We just wanted to share how grateful we are for everything the baby room staff in Marston have done for our daughter. We've seen such amazing growth in her development and early learning, and it's clear how much support and encouragement she receives.
Every day she comes home with a big smile. Thank you for being so lovely with her. We couldn't ask for a better place for her to learn and play!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear about your daughter's progress and happiness-it means the world to our team at Marston. We love supporting her learning and play every day!
We absolutely love sending our son to The Marston Day Nursery. He has been there for almost a year now and is thriving! He goes in every day with the biggest smile on his face. The staff are all wonderful and he adores his key worker. The food is brilliant too. Thank you so much for the hard work you all do.
Thank you so much for your review, we will definitely share with your son's room and key person your lovely words!
The staff are excellent. Unfortunately, there has been a high turnover of staff in the last year (which I think is indicative of the industry). However, the staff have been incredible at putting the children first during what could be an unsettling time. They have continued to plan excellent sensory-driven activities for the children. The facilities are amazing and the staff genuinely know my son.
During his transitions, they have been very considerate of his needs. His first settle was during half term when all rooms were quieter. His key worker has gone with him to his settles.
Everything this nursery does is for the best of the children and I can’t fault them for that.
The food and meals are also incredible. Varied, healthy and always smell delicious.
Nursery fees are extortionate everywhere. Considering, I think this nursery is fair, especially considering the facilities.
Thank you so much for your review. Providing all our children with the best outcomes is always our number 1 priority and I will share your lovely feedback with our wonderful team.
