We honestly have had the most incredible experience at Brackenfield nursery. We have 2 children in the nursery. The staff go above and beyond daily and both our children run in to nursery every day.
One of my children have had a few health issues and the staff have been incredible helping him through when he's been in pain and working with us on it.
The staff are always SO welcoming, friendly. My children are settled, happy and thriving. We couldn't have asked for a better nursery.
Thank you for your lovely words. It is our pleasure to care for your little ones. They make us all smile every single day.
From the moment she arrived her language and confidence transformed, she's a much less fussy eater, and she's forming some beautiful relationships with her peers. Every evening we're regaled with animated stories about the games, role plays and activities she's been getting stuck into along with piles of artwork and projects.
Whether or not you intend for your children to continue up the school, Brackenfield Nursery is an incredibly special place - I've already signed up my ten month old to join when he turns two.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, it is a joy to get to teach and inspire your little ones!
A lovely inclusive, warm and friendly nursery. An extension of the Brackenfield school family. My son really enjoyed his time here before transitioning to the main school, just wish I'd known about it when my daughter was that age too!
Thank you so much your kind words we are so pleased to have you part of the Brackenfield family.
We love Brackenfield, the staff are brilliant and extremely caring. My son loves the wide range of activities including music, PE and outdoor play. I love the fact the nursery children feel very much part of the wider school.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! The whole school had Christmas dinner today together and it was truly magical. Thank you for your continued support!
We moved our son and daughter from another local nursery, to Brackenfield and I cannot recommend them more. I only wish we had of known about Brackenfield earlier! The staff, combined with the setting of the school, are faultless.
The care, attention and love given to the children is exceptional. They develop incredible bonds with the staff. Our son had never really settled in the other nursery, and so we were very apprehensive & worried as we wanted to ensure was his happiness, and within a week, he was thriving.
Brackenfield nursery is a hidden gem in Harrogate.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review, we agree that Brackenfield is a true hidden gem! Thank you so much for entrusting us with your precious little ones.
We currently have one son in nursery, and our other had attended before moving into the main school. All the staff are so welcoming each day, caring and invested in ensuring the best for our boys, as of other children which has been comforting to know. Brackenfield nursery has always been accommodating to any extra needs or support. The environment feels safe and warm and activities throughout the weeks are varied and creative. We have always recommended Brackenfield to friends and family based on our lovely experience
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, we are so pleased your little on is having fun we are glad you are part of our family!
We recently moved our son to Brackenfield from another nursery, and the difference has been incredible. The team has so much experience and every teacher has been keen to get to know A and understand the things that make him feel happy and supported. Forest school is such a winner - he's such an outdoors boy, so is very much in his element there, and has even been proudly telling us the French words he's learned ('Ouiseau' was brilliantly surprising!) The overall environment is warm, welcoming and feels super safe - we're so glad we made the move.
Merci for your lovely review! we have loved welcoming you in and I am glad Forest school is a big hit! Thank you for your continued support.
Brackenfield nursery creates a welcoming, warm and loving environment for children. Throughout my son and daughter's time in nursery, staff have always been so supportive and dedicated to providing a fun, inclusive and safe space for our children.
I highly recommend this nursery. Thank you to the nursery staff for all your hard work, support and for welcoming us into the Brackenfield family.
Thank you so much for your feedback and entrusting us with your amazing children! We are so proud to have you part of our family.
My middle son, also went and loved it and now my youngest asks, even on a weekend if he can to go to nursery because he's so happy there. Also because he has an older sibling & cousin in the school, all the year groups above look out for him, it's just lovely.
The teaching, variety of activities and facilities are great too - whether music or forest school, painting or reading they've got it covered. Always welcomed with a smile and always so positive at pick up. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your comments it is very much appreciated and I will share this with my team! it is a pleasure to see a whole family grow throughout the school! we are so lucky to have you as part of our Brackenfield family!
When we moved to the area earlier this year we had to enrol our daughter into another nursery. We were apprehensive about this because she was so settled in her original nursery. We need not have worried - Brackenfield nursery is such a special place. The staff are experienced, genuinely care and provide a stimulating and nurturing environment with plenty of outdoor and messy play! My daughter will run into nursery every morning, excited for her day ahead. I would highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind words, we are so grateful to have you as part of our Brackenfield family!

We love Brackenfield for its inclusive and nurturing ethos. Nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff who work with great diligence and enthusiasm to get the very best out of each and every child.
Thank you so much for you kind words, we are so lucky to have you part of our Brackenfield family!
My daughter has spent the last two years at this wonderful nursery. The staff are caring and attentive. They ensure the children are nurtured as individuals and having the wider school environment has given the opportunity for learning in a fun and constructive way. Music and drama has been top-notch. My daughter is always singing the songs she learns at "Brackenschool" and can't wait to get there of a morning to see her friends and teachers.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, it is a pleasure to teach your little one!
Brackenfield nursery is a wonderful start to school. The staff are extremely caring, they make learning fun in very creative ways. It is a joy to see our daughter as she skips and runs into school, coming home each day with a smile on her face, excited to share everything that she has done. The nursery creates such a positive and enriching atmosphere.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so pleased to hear your daughter enjoys her time with us in our nursery. Thank you for being part of our Brackenfield family.
