Review from V T (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have had a great experience so far. The key workers are all brilliant and friendly. Our child loves going there and has learned huge amount of skills (emotional, motor and language) since starting. We have never seen them leave a child unattended or crying which is great. They are always putting on fun and engaging activities for the children and are always telling us how their day was. The food is also really varied and healthy.

Overall Experience

My partner and I could not be happier with our experience of the nursery. Our son smiles and waves the moment he sees the staff. The range of activities are brilliant, and our son's learning/development is coming along leaps and bounds. The staff are clearly knowledgeable and capable. We feel very safe leaving our son in their care. Thank you!

Review from Asuka H (Mother of Child) published on 17 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We are incredibly impressed with the progress our 3-year-old son has made since moving up to upper preschool. The transition from nappies to pants was a massive step for our family, and it was handled wtih such warmth and patience by the staff. What stands out most is the complete sense of trust we feel when dropping him off each morning. The staff always greet him with a happy smile and a genuine check-in on how he is doing. We love the recent introduction of the app; it's wonderful to see his face during the day and feel connected to his learning. He's becoming so independent, even showing off his table manners at home (and occasionally shushing us if we talk too much!). At pick-up, we always enjoy the detailed updates; it is clear the staff truly know his personality and which activities he enjoys most. We couldn't ask for a more supportive environment.

My daughter loves going to nursery, she is thriving and learning so much through Kate and the team. The opportunities to go to forest school and to join in with Jeannette at kitchen school is a great thing to offer the children, she definitely loves to help more in the kitchen at home.

Review from Robyn R (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our son's experience at this nursery. He has been attending for the past four months, and the support from the staff during his settling-in period was absolutely wonderful. They were so patient, caring and reassuring - not just with him, but with us as parents too. The activities they provide are fantastic and really varied. He's always coming home excited to tell us about what he's been doing. We're also really pleased with the healthy meals and snacks offered. It's reassuring to know he's being encouraged to eat well and try different foods in such a positive environment. He talks about how much fun he's had at nursery every single day. Seeing how happy and confident he is now compared to when he first started says everything. We're so grateful to the amazing team.

Overall Experience

We've had such a beautiful experience with the Culham Village Nursery from very first day, the staff treated my daughter with so much kindness and care, and that immediately put me at ease. My daughter absolutely loves going in every morning. She has grown in confidence, made lovely friends, and learning new things every single day. As a parent, nothing is more comforting than seeing your child happy, safe and learning new things. Thank you to all staff. Highly recommend the nursery to everyone.

Review from M D (Father of Child) published on 19 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter attended Culham Village Nursery and Preschool for 3 years and had an excellent experience throughout. The facilities are well equipped with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. The staff are attentive and friendly and are always coming up with fun activities and learning opportunities for the children. The extra activities to help prepare children for attending school run ally seemed to have helped our daughter get ready. The fresh meals and snacks prepared onsite were always well balanced and healthy. Last time I checked the prices seemed comparable to other nurseries in the area so in my view they provided excellent value for money.
My only minor criticism is that many of the processes such as feedback and accident forms etc. are still manual. I'm aware other settings use apps for this so that might be an area for improvement.

But overall I would throughly recommend this setting as they are excellent in all the areas that matter.

Review from G D (Mother of Child) published on 4 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Both of my children attended CVN, and I couldn't be happier with the care they've received. My youngest started in the baby room and stayed all the way through upper preschool, and throughout the years, the staff have been constantly kind, dedicated and attentive. They've truly taken the time to get to know each of my children, supporting them to thrive in a warm, nurturing environment.
While I would love to see a more tech-forward approach, like having an app for updated and daily reports, the communication with the nursery has still been excellent. You can easily reach out to the team by phone or email, and they're always quick to respond and happy to talk through questions or concerns.

It's been a wonderful start to both my children's early years, and I'm grateful for the care they've received. We'll miss going to CNV regularly.

Overall Experience

We love Culham Village Nursery & Preschool. The facilities are great, but most importantly, the staff are wonderful. They are about the children (our girls are always in good hands). They come up with a range of fun activities (the science activities, so forest school ones, for example, are great, our girls chat about them in the evening). The chef makes nutritious & tasty dishes & does engaging cooking school classes with the children, which is an added bonus. We highly recommend the nursery & preschool & its staff.

Overall Experience

My children have had an excellent experience of lower pre-school at Culham Village Nursery. They are known by the whole team and cared for with kindness and attention. The room leader is very competent and leads by example in terms of compassion and educational standards. My children's knowledge of letters has really come on and they often return home with new songs and tonnes of fun activities.

Review from G H (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our son joined Culham Village Nursery just before he turned 3. We had just moved from the US and he had a difficult time adjusting. Everyone at Cullham Village Nursery was very patient and nurturing in helping my son make the transition. He now loves going to school. He tells me about his friends and teachers and the songs that he learns. I love that they get outside frequently, do lots of art and building, and foster his love of reading. They continue learning with play and have new topics each week and also follow the interests of the children. We are happy that Culham Village Nursery is a part of our son's early education.

Overall Experience
Our toddler loves this nursery and so do we! Qualified, engaged and caring staff, lots of time spent outdoors and doing a wide range of activities and crafts, and fantastic food made on site, we're so lucky that this is our local nursery.
Small enough that we know all of the staff and they know us and our toddler, we feel completely safe leaving them in their care.

I honestly can't say enough good things about this nursery and in particular each and every one of their staff.

Lower pre-school is such a happy place - my daughter loves it and is very happy. The staff are caring, conscientious, and very relatable. If you're going to leave your child in someone's care then you can't get better than this. The key worker is amazing!

Overall Experience

This beautiful nursery, full of the most beautiful people, was the luckiest find and the best decision we could have ever made for our boy. I feel so at home every time we drop him off and pick him up. His teachers make us feel so welcome and so comfortable! Every time we send him off to nursery, I know he's going to be safe, happy and loved and that is just absolutely priceless to any parent. Thank you to each and every one of you wonderful humans -it's the hardest thing to choose childcare and you make it so much easier for us as I know that going to Culham Village Nursery truly enriches his life - thank you!
