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!

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.

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.

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

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.

I highly recommend this nursery. Thank you to

Brackenfield Nursery is wonderful. I have three children and have tried a few nurseries in Harrogate over the years but none compare. The team aren't just staff members, they are part of the Brackenfield family and community, it's evident it's not just a job to them but part of their lives and you
really feel very secure as a parent leaving you child with them. Knowing they'll have fun learning, exploring and feeling part of something special & a happy environment.
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.

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!

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.

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.
