Mara Nursery

I'm pleased with the care and experiences my daughter receives at your nursery. She loves coming to the nursery, and the range of play activities is fantastic; far more than I could offer at home. The extra classes, like swimming, yoga and football, are a big highlight for her, and she talks about them constantly. The nursery is well managed, and the staff are amazing. I'm confident that choosing this nursery was the best decision for my daughter

Mara nursery thank You.

My little one absolutely loves Mara's! The staff are so caring and friendly, and they really go the extra mile. My daughter settled in super quickly and is always happy and excited to go to nursery. I can't thank them enough for providing such a wonderful environment for our children. Highly recommend!

The teachers at Mara are very caring and professional. They are patient and cheerful to the kids. The room that my toddler stays in is a large room. He has many toys to play with and much space to move around. The teachers will bring the kids out to the park when the weather is good. Occasionally, they will visit specific places in the neighbourhood to engage in the community. The food prepared by the Mara chef seems to be delicious and healthy as my little one finishes them quite often. I particularly appreciate them using different ways to encourage my little one to walk such as handholding him, praising him etc. They update me on anything that happens to my toddler. While I have a busy full-time job, I feel that I can fully count on them to look after my little one.

In all, we are very happy with the choice we made and have no hesitation in recommending Mara.

Lovely nursery with a close-knit family vibe. Great location tucked away from the busy high street and with a nice park next door. My daughter (3 years old) has been going to the nursery since January 2024 and settled in very quickly. It sounds like they have great fun during the day with a variety of activities, which we see pictures on the app, and get daily updates. Also, great extracurricular activities are on offer like swimming lessons which my daughter loves. I appreciate the flexible scheduling if we need to change days due to illness/holiday - the management team are very accommodating.

My son has been at Mara for over a year now and we are so happy with our choice of nursery for him. All the staff make a real effort to get to know the parents and children. They go at the child's pace for settling which was reassuring and our son has flourished during his time at Mara. The staff have remained consistent during this time too which is also a great sign to us that they feel motivated and happy there too. This consistency has also helped our son to build secure attachments at the nursery too. We would definitely recommend this setting for friends and family.

Thank you, Mara.

In addition to this, the office staff go above and beyond. Thank you team!

All around a lovely, clean, caring, nursery.

Our son has been going to Mara Nursery for over two years, now attending 4 days a week. He loves it! All the staff are absolutely lovely and create a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The days are structured well, with playtime outside, lots of different activities and more formal mat learning (e.g. letters). We get both a general weekly report with loads of photos, as well as individual shared moments. He always comes out at home time with a smile and energy, and talks about his helpers and friends. We love Mara and strongly recommend.

My son has needed some extra emotional support in recent months and all of the Mara staff have gone the extra mile to make sure he feels supported and loved. He may have been at Mara 3 years but the personal approach doesn't stop. Thanks team!

I recommend Mara to everyone. My daughter has flourished, and I'm proud of her progress. Nursery days are a joy, seeing staff who care for and remember our family. Mara feels like a supportive bubble I never want to burst.

We switched to Mara from another 'chain' nursery nearby after seeing their facilities and have never looked back. The staff are exceptional, always going above and beyond to make sure they've understood the children's needs and to liaise with parents on a day-to-day basis about progress or any concerns. They have been outstanding in supporting our daughter's additional needs and have consistently made us and her feel included and valued. Some comments relating to the food menu came up in parent chats but it has never been an issue for us and the menu is regularly revised taking on board parents' comments. Room transitions are handled patiently and empathetically. There is a genuine community feel about the nursery. Would highly recommend.

I have had a great experience with my daughter at Mara. My daughter has always thoroughly enjoyed her days when she has been in attendance and is often asked to attend on additional days. She settled in with ease and has continued to flourish at Mara and a big part of that is down to the nurturing environment and the dedication of the team. My son will be starting in the new year I cannot wait to watch his journey at Mara too. The team of staff are always on hand to answer any questions and to help make the nursery process a good one. I can only speak highly of our time at Mara.

The staff at Mara Nursery are truly exceptional-loving, attentive, and incredibly skilled. It's clear that they are not only passionate about early childhood education but also deeply invested in the well-being and development of every child. My child's individual needs and interests are always respected, and I am consistently amazed at the creative, engaging activities they offer. From sensory play to outdoor adventures, every day brings something new and exciting for my little one.

Caring and nurturing nursery. Lovely facilities and a real family feel amongst the staff. We have always felt that our children and happy and well looked after. The children are encouraged to be independent and are offered a wide range of activities including off-site trips. Good communication with parents.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mara Nursery to any parent looking for a safe, fun, and enriching place for their child to grow and learn. It's truly a wonderful community!

Our little boy is so happy and so well cared for at Mara. He has been going there two days a week for the past two years and his development whilst there has been amazing. He is quite a selective eater but the lovely team always ensures he has something that he likes to eat, he sleeps well, has lovely friends and enjoys the wide range of activities (both fun and educational) that the staff organise. Mara is a fantastic nursery and we couldn't recommend more highly.

Really lovely staff who seem to genuinely care about the kids. I feel confident my son is having a good time at the nursery! We get a good amount of information regarding food and activities and updates etc.
