The nursery provided a welcoming environment for my son, despite him not being a native English speaker. I was impressed by the care staff who demonstrated professionalism and genuine warmth. We noticed substantial improvements in his social skills and overall development since he started attending. The nursery has created a nurturing space that has benefited him significantly. I am grateful for the positive impact it has had on my child.

Both my children have attended this nursery over the past 4 years and really enjoyed it. The whole nursery from the management, to admin to the child carers has been fantastic. My children have enjoyed the wide range of activities, outdoor time and food! I have always been happy to know my children have been well looked after, cared for and safe whilst at nursery.

A wonderful nursery. Staff provide unparalleled care. My child gets so much fun, learning and variety. Staff stay with the nursery for a long time which gives consistency and speaks to the nursery being a good employer which was important to us. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

The peace of mind provided by Berkeley Gardens nursery is priceless. My daughters both love it there. The staff are amazing so warm and friendly. Logistically drop-offs and pick-ups and all the communication is easy and enjoyable. I'm regularly surprised and impressed with all the new skills and stories they come home with concerts, parties, sports day and French.

I sent my first child years ago and didn't hesitate to send my second child as I already knew that it was the best place for them. I feel that the parents are listened to, staff have a great attitude, facilities cater to throughout the childs growth from baby to pre school. My child had totally come out of her shell since starting a year ago.

Everyone at Berkeley Gardens goes above and beyond, they make our lives so much easier and as a result our son loves going there (even asking to go at the weekend!). To give an example; we we're going away and dropped him off in the morning, pack and get ready to go, and when we pick him up - he's had an extra snack and just had his nappy changed! Outside space is brilliant, activities are endless, food is good and varied. He's learnt so much and is growing more indpeendent (and opinionated!) by the day.

I currently have a my child in the nursery and he has been there since jan 2024 and my eldest child was there for 2 years before and they both love it. We are very happy with how they are treated, the activity they do, the food they are fed, the communication and community it great and we would alway recommend to friends and family

Great nursery! We daily receive the feedback about our child and we know that he is being suppported and cared for. Staff is very friendly and nice, always ready to have a chat about any conserns we have. I could not recommend this nursery more. Thank you, all the staff, who is there for our children :)

Absolutely amazing nursery with wonderful caring staff. Thank you for everything you do to stimulate learning and genuinely care for the children. The staff are hardworking and friendly, my child always looks forward to going to nursery! Looking for funded nursery space for my 2yrs old twins.

My daughter has been with the nursery since she was 13 months started when Covid hit and the nursery has always been great to keep you up to date with their day with photos and written-up dates. They have extra weekly activities like wiggle waggle my daughter loves dancing each week and learning new routines. The staff are great and always have time to talk if you need them it feels like a family-run nursery. They have a great outdoor space which they use as much as they can which is great for all the children to explore. We are sad to be leaving the nursery in August to begin school but the memories and friends my daughter made in her early years have been amazing. Would recommend to anyone to send their children here.

This nursery is beyond words. It is such a pleasure to talk to the staff and my daughter is so happy to go there! the pictures and videos they have from each time my daughter goes show how much effort they go through to ensure the children are safe and happy. I have on occasion needed the nursery's help with various things and they are very accommodating. The fact that my daughter spent very little time getting used to the nursery speaks for itself. I'm so grateful for their help, as a mother it just brings some relief knowing that I'm dropping my child to a place she loves. The best nursery in locally.

Very well organised and managed nursary. Children all seem happy and well cared for. Good facilities inside and out and helpful staff. Never had any concerns and our child has been a happy attendee for 3 years. Very happy to recommend.

This is an exceptional nursery, taking quite fantastic care of our two children’s mental and physical development. Where there are issues with, for example, our children’s behaviour, the nursery takes significant time to explain them to us and helps us to work through them with the child. I can’t recommend us nursery highly enough. It has transformed the lives of our children.

Both our children are with Berkeley Gardens Day Nursery and they have been happy and fulfilled there from day one. Even our baby who was born in lockdown immediately took to the warm, welcoming and highly competent carers he was placed with there. The nursery have supported us with our eldest who is showing signs of autism and their care and support has made both him and us more confident. We’ve moved across town but still bring the children here because we know they will get the best care from the best people. Highly recommend.

I can not recommend Berkeley Gardens Day Nursery enough. It has been fabulous for my son’s development and social skills. There are so many activities on offer each day and also French lessons and Wiggle-Waggle dancing. The staff are amazing and they are very good at providing regular feedback and updates. My son loves going to nursery, which is a huge relief in the mornings when I drop him off. He doesn’t even say goodbye to me!

Really happy with the level of care for my son at this nursery. Ever since he started he settled in really well and he enjoys going. As a parent, they have put me at ease to leave him the whole day whilst I’m at work. Highly recommended!

I rarely write reviews except something is truly exceptional or when it is the opposite. Berkeley Gardens is a brilliant nursery and extremely well managed. The staff and in-house team go above and beyond in providing a great childcare experience (I tried two other nurseries before this). I only hope they maintain the very high standard we have now come to expect. Drop offs are guilt free. Door policy with camera before opening is brilliant. The food, healthy and fresh. The fussiest eater will try. Nappies wipes included. My child's key person is truly phenomenal. Not phoney or fake nice. Toys, outdoor space are a child's dream come true. My feedback and concerns feel valued. Without looking like a paid reviewer (I'm just very demanding like most parents), if you are looking for a nursery for a very loved little one and not just any will do, then look no further. You will not regret it. One thing, it is not cheap. It is very good value (think a really good Waitrose) which is miles better than cheap.

Excellent and flexible day nursery with super friendly staff. My 17 month old has been attending since January 2017 and really enjoys himself there. I have been impressed with the range of activities he does and that he has been taught to feed himself by his key worker.

My son attended the nursery from 2016 - March 2017 and unfortunately, due to work and future plans we had to relocate to Farnborough. I have to say, without doubt, this is the best nursery by far and trust me when I say this because I have tried other 3 places before they had space for my son. I just really wish I could take them with me. The staffs are exceptionally awesome in the way they take care of the children and all the activities they filled in all week. The morning cuddles and evening updates. Amazing place and hardworking people. My son has learned a lot and made lots of friends that he is already missing.
