All three of my children have been through Brambletye's nursery (my youngest is currently there) and have loved every minute. They bounce into the school in the morning, eager to find out what's in store for them. The staff go above and beyond to make sure each child is well cared for and enjoying their day. I always think they look like they're having just as much fun as the children! There is so much more included than a typical nursery as it's part of a prep school; for example, swimming (in Apples class), french and music lessons. They also get to take part in Forest School in the school woods, which all mine have adored. I love hearing what they've been up to at pick up time, whether it be cooking, painting, dancing or dressing up, to name a few. I couldn't think of a better place for them to be and we are so thrilled we chose Brambletye.

Lovely nursery with amazing staff. Lots of outside play and forest school. Amazing shows which has brought out so much confidence in our little girl. Lots of sports they go swimming every week. Being connected to the school gives a great level of teaching and learning. All our children have loved good every day which is always a great sign. Would highly recommend :-)

The nursery is fantastic - I can't praise it enough. My sons have settled in very well. They take part in a wide range of activities and truly enjoy their time there. Every day, they look forward to going to nursery and are often reluctant to leave at the end of the day. They feel comfortable, calm, and happy at school, which makes each day a positive experience for them. I've also noticed significant improvements in their speech and confidence since attending. The staff are professional, friendly, and very supportive, so I feel completely at ease knowing my children are in good hands.

My son has been to Brambletye nursery since January and he is thriving and very happy. Teaching staff are phenomenal, the school is organised, beautiful grounds and in connection with the parents regularly which allows me to have a realistic overview if how my son is doing. The school is a real gem.

We are beyond happy with the nursery and pre-prep at Brambletye. We moved from Canada specifically for our children's education and this school has exceeded our expectations. Amazing staff and very loving and experienced teachers.

Brambletye Nursery is a very special place. Older children still enjoy poking their heads around the door! Our child spent a very happy year playing outside, creating amazing art, growing flowers, riding bicycles, performing on stage and making friends. Somewhere along the line the teachers managed to weave in a huge amount of learning too! As parents, we felt listened to, it was truly an open door policy. There were lots of opportunities to get involved and catch a glimpse of our child's day. Standout memories for us were the Mother's day assembly and the Bear Hunt in the woods. Weekly swimming was a huge bonus and the opportunity to make use of the wider school facilities was amazing. We genuinely feel like our child has had the best possible start at Brambletye Nursey. The new head has been amazing and fantastic new things are introduced almost weekly under her stewardship. It is a great time to be a part of the Brambletye Nursery.

The nursery at Brambletye is incredibly special and we are very grateful to the wonderful staff for creating the most magical environment for our children there. They are exceptional, taking so much care to truly get to know the children and to give them all the attention and affection we could wish for. They genuinely care about bringing the best out of them, making every effort to ensure that they're happy and thriving. The activities on offer are wonderfully varied and it's clear that so much thought goes into making each day engaging and fun. Our children leave inspired and excited by what they have done that day - developing an enthusiasm for learning, all whilst they play and have the best time. They are fortunate to spend lots of time outdoors exploring the stunning grounds and enjoying the school's exceptional facilities too. The atmosphere is warm and nurturing with a lovely family feel and I just couldn't recommend it more highly. I feel so lucky that we found Brambletye.

My husband and I would highly recommend Brambletye to any parent looking for a very happy and enriching nursery experience for their child/children. From our daughters first day, we knew we had made the right choice! All of the staff are truly dedicated and passionate about caring for children, enabling our daughter to flourish in such a stimulating environment whilst learning and building confidence every day. We receive daily photos of her adventures and love the open communication, leaving us feeling very secure knowing she's in such capable hands. Thank you Brambletye!

We absolutely adore the nursery (and Pre-Prep) at Brambletye. Our daughter joined in her pre-school year and settled in immediately, throwing herself into every opportunity and blossoming under the care of the incredible staff. She is now in the Pre Prep (also fab) and our son is having a similarly wonderful time. He started part time just days after his 2nd birthday as he was so desperate to be there! The staff are wonderful, kind and so caring, and create such a fun learning environment for the children. The spaces they have, especially outdoors, are brilliant and we love how much time the children spend outside playing and learning both in the outdoor classroom, on the playground, at school in the woods, and exploring the extensive grounds of the school. Being part of a school environment also means they get exposure to lots of experiences that they might not otherwise - the school theatre, music, French, swimming, etc. It's just fab!

My youngest has been attending the nursery at Brambletye since September 2024 and we couldn't be happier. It's such a warm and nurturing environment for the children and every day I am amazed at the progress she is making there creatively, socially and academically despite it remaining such a fun and playful environment for the children. The teachers build such strong relationships with the children and really harness each child's individuality - it's clear how much they care about the children (and us parents!) and that they are genuinely passionate about their work. Would highly recommend!

My Daughter started at Brambletye Nursery just after turning 2 years old. I was very apprehensive at first, but after her settling-in sessions, I knew I had made the right choice. Now, a year on, she is thriving and very happy. The staff are absolutely wonderful-caring, attentive, and nurturing. One of the highlights is definitely the woodland and outdoor play areas, which provide amazing opportunities for exploration and nature-based learning. I highly recommend Brambletye Nursery to any parent looking for a warm and enriching environment for their child.

My 2 children both started Brambletye nursery full time when they were 2. They are almost 3 and 5 now. They love going to Brambletye nursery and every morning run to the nursery super happy. The staff is caring and provides continuous feedback on children's development, formal and informal. From Nursery 3 when they are a year before pre-prep children get swimming classes and French lessons too. My son's ability to swim is incredible currently. Overall, the experience with Brambletye is very pleasant. The school ensures that they do parents events and evenings too, so parents can get connected. The playground and indoor facilities are great, lots of educational materials for children.

Our daughter currently goes to Nursery at Brambletye. We are so happy with her being there. The staff are very kind, nurturing and friendly and the garden is a beautiful, bright play space full of educational resources as well as play equipment that is clean and welcoming and inspires their imagination. She really enjoys the fresh and varied dinners offered every day. She loves to explore the Brambletye woods. The nursery makes good use of their beautiful grounds frequently which really appeals to her as she loves exploring outdoors and being amongst nature. She goes in so happily every morning and comes out everyday with a big smile on her face. We are very grateful for Brambletye giving her the very best start to her education.

Brambletye Nursery is fantastic, we attended Bramble Babies before enrolling our son in Nursery (after viewing a lot of others) and he absolutely loves it. The pre-prep head knows all the pupils and engages with them daily. Staff are really friendly and caring. It really has a family feel, so glad we found it.
