We couldn't be happier with our experience at Poppies. Our two children settled in beautifully - far beyond what we expected - and that's entirely thanks to the incredible team. Every single member of staff is exceptional: warm, enthusiastic, and truly passionate about what they do. Coming from a London nursery, we thought we had high standards, but Poppies has completely exceeded them. The level of care, attention, and love our children are receiving is simply on another level. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a nurturing and inspiring place. A huge thank you to the entire team for doing such an excellent job - you've made this transition feel seamless and joyful for our whole family!

Wonderful nursery, very happy with the love and care the nursery is giving my child. I really feel the nursery has taken the time to know my child. Always a very friendly face by management at the door. It's a happy place with lots of kindness and structure. What more could you want for your child?

Can not fault poppies day nursery. The staff are brilliant with the children and are really friendly and very approachable if we have any questions. We get daily updates regarding eating, nap times, nappies and get nice photos of our daughter having fun. All this is done through a very easy to use app. My daughter loves going to nursery and it has 100% helped with her confidence.

Our daughter has attended Poppies for nearly 6 months now in the under 2's room and we couldn't be happier with the nursery as a whole. Her excitement at drop off speaks for itself and not once has there been any tears (making it a lot easier for us to leave her!) We're first time parents both in full time employment and it makes such a difference knowing she's well looked after, safe and happy there. The communication has always been great both on emails and when the nursery need to call for any reason throughout the day, we always feel very kept in the loop. The daily updates on the app are very much appreciated to know nap durations, play descriptions and what she ate. All the staff are really friendly and caring and I feel they know and look after our daughter well and we couldn't ask for more. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

We are very happy with the care our daughter receives at Poppies. She has an allergy; this has always been taken incredibly seriously, and she really enjoys their carefully prepared, nutritious meals. The outdoor space is lovely, and her key workers are kind and caring. The additional family engagement events, like Fathers' Day play or a Carnival day on a Saturday, have also been thoughtful touches.

We are really happy with Poppies Day Nursery. Our daughter settled in immediately and loves going there. She’s bonded really well with the staff, who I feel genuinely care about her and her development. She enjoys all the activities to the max! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to other parents.

Our daughter has attended Poppies in Maidenhead since October 2023 and she is thriving. Her development has come on in leaps and she loves her key workers. It’s wonderful at the end of every day to see what she has been doing. She enjoys playing with all of her friends and eats all of her food. The meals prepared by the Chef are brilliant, a perfect combination of tasty and healthy. It’s a joy to see how she responds going into nursery in the morning and how happy she is during the day and when we pick her up. The staff at Poppies are amazing and we can't imagine her going to nursery anywhere else!

I will say firstly that my child does not have any hesitation in attending the nursery and has a good social time. He does enjoy it there with his friends. Since January 2023, the nursery has had 4 managers. This has meant there has been a lack of consistency and a huge lack of communication. The latest manager is trying to improve things where possible but this is too little too late for us and have withdrawn our child. The majority of the permanent staff are lovely, however, they are severely short-staffed. Rooms are always filled with cover staff meaning the children have a lack of consistency with their carers. We were asked to not bring our child in one day because of a lack of staff. There is a severe lack of feedback. Zero pictures or videos of activities our child has taken part in. No individual feedback. There has been one parent's evening in the last 12 months. We've had one observation since July 2023. We have spent thousands and feel ripped off. I wish I could write more.

Our two sons have been going to Poppies for 9 months now since we moved to the area. We were very pleased with how well and quickly they settled into the setting, both in the baby room and the preschool room. The team are incredibly friendly, helpful, and on the ball. The staff, both in the rooms and the senior staff, really care for the kids and take time to do proper handovers so we can support them together. The nursery itself is purpose-built so has plenty of space, outdoor areas, and easy parking. The facilities are much better than the other nurseries we saw in the area. The children enjoy the food and the activities, and our older son comes home talking about letters or new ideas he's come across in the books or the activities in preschool. Thank you Poppies.

Our little one has been going to Poppies Day Nursery for the past few months, and from day one, the team has been nothing but outstanding! Starting from the settling sessions through to the everyday care for him, the team has met and exceeded our expectations! Since he started, he has become much more confident and independent, thanks to the amazing carers supporting his development and learning!

Our son recently started at Poppies back in April after a move from London, and we have been so pleased with how well he has settled into the new setting. We looked at a lot of nurseries in the local area, and Poppies really ticked all the boxes for us in many ways. The team are incredibly friendly and has been so understanding when we had many delays with our move to Maidenhead, which was a huge relief! The nursery is purpose-built, clean and very conveniently located with great parking. Our son is in the toddler room, and he honestly loves going to nursery and often talks of his favourite teachers. This is a very obvious sign that the staff are incredibly caring, loving and nurturing to the children. They also have a great garden which I found was something not all nurseries had as we feel outdoor play is crucial for children. We would really recommend Poppies as it really is so important to feel your child is safe and happy, and we can 100% agree that we feel this at Poppies.

My son has been at the nursery (under 2’s) for over 6 months and absolutely loves it. As a parent, I’m pleased with the genuine level of care the nursery professionals show. The nursery itself is clean and tidy and the learning and creative schedule is great. Fantastic app, engagement from everyone, and the quality of the handover means we don’t miss a thing.

I viewed a handful of nurseries before I found Poppies in Maidenhead. I loved it as soon as I saw the lovely, clean, open space. The staff are so friendly and make you feel at home straight away. My little boy has been happy here since day one. My child loves playing with all the wooden toys and the sand pit. I would highly recommend Poppies.

Such a great team. My son loves to go in and always comes home happy. The app is great but I also get a great handover from the team. Great co-parenting! Thank you.

We love Poppies Day Nursery. My little one has settled in very well with lots of love and support from the baby room staff. He always comes home happy and his development since starting is wonderful. His key worker is the best and their bond is lovely to watch. We couldn't recommend it more highly. Very happy with our choice.

Our son has been at Poppies Maidenhead for 3 months from 13 months old. All of the staff have been amazing at helping him (and us!) settle into a new routine of nursery and work. One member of staff, in particular, has been absolutely awesome and genuinely cares for the kids she is responsible for and our son has built up a great relationship with her. We are new to the area, so finding a nursery that worked for us was important. Really pleased we chose Poppies.

My son has been using the nursery for about 6 months. I can see the hard work the team puts in with my son. His social development has come on leaps and bounds since he has been with Poppies. I would highly recommend this nursery if your child has any allergies and here for taking care.
