Newbury Gardens Day Nursery

from Amy P (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Both of our daughters have attended Newbury Gardens Day Nursery, one recently left to go to school and the other is still there.
They have been treated with so much kindness since joining the nursery, in each and every room. Despite only being in two days a week, everyone knows their names, what is
going on at home, even the name of bunny comforters!
They have lots of outside time, craft time and independent play. We really rate the nursery, the team and the communications we receive, the team take a genuine interest in them and what is really heartwarming is that they still ask after them when they move rooms. Senior management are hands-on and always engages with both children and parents.
Weekly updates are lovely, there's not as much app-based contact as some other nurseries but I'd sooner have them looking after the children than always on a screen! Sometimes they even do little trips out. The gardens are big and age-appropriate. We can only speak from our experience but the nursery has been fab.

I would thoroughly recommend Newbury Gardens. The staff are fantastic - a really friendly and caring team that made both my children feel loved and safe. The food is marvellous and they put so much effort into arranging fun, educational things for the children to do. I've felt really fortunate to
be able to entrust my children to them and would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to other parents.

As a mum of three young children, having Newbury Gardens Day Nursery has been invaluable. The care and attention the children are given by staff, with endless opportunities for outdoor play and craft activities make for a great atmosphere in each age-appropriate room. I feel safe in the knowledge that
my babies are getting the best possible care, one thing less to worry about as a working parent!
It is also worth noting that the hygiene is great here - any outbreaks of typical childhood illnesses (present in every and any nursery) are swiftly dealt with and contained.
Communication is great and management always has time for queries.
The building is well-loved and you can see that little people are the focus here.

Newbury Gardens Day Nursery

from L V (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Really brilliant nursery and very convenient to professionals who work in London as it's so close to the train station.
They do not show pictures of their huge garden on their website so we initially thought they had no outdoor space. How wrong we were!
My son has come along hugely in confidence since
joining them. Their manager is just lovely. We were really surprised to be offered as space as my son had allergies to various foods and we thought he would be low down on their list for allocation for this reason. Not only did they accept him but they were so careful with his allergies (much more careful than the nursery he went to before).
We highly recommend.

It is a small nursery giving it a lovely family/community feel. They offer a variety of fun activities and

Excellent nursery. Friendly, professional, and the children are all happy to be there too.
They provide a wide variety of fun activities for the children to entertain them, and the food is varied too.
We’ve been particularly impressed with the lady (who has now moved department) and another in the
bunnies room too.

Woodley Gardens Day Nursery is a super friendly, welcoming and caring environment for my child. I feel so comfortable dropping them and picking them up from our nursery. Knowing they are in a safe place, being cared for, educated and disciplined. The food reviews from my child are superb! The staff
are very approachable, honest and give great feedback of my child’s day.

My son has attended the nursery since he was 10 months old and he is now 4! The nursery staff are lovely. The nursery carries out classes during the week which my son loves. He has made some great friends, looks forward to coming to nursery and has had a lovely experience here. I would recommend the
nursery and we will be sad to be leaving in September. Thank you all at Woodley Gardens Day Nursery for all your care and support throughout the years!

Berkeley Gardens Day Nursery

from Louise P (Mother of Child) published on 14 June 2023
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

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.

My daughter has been with Newbury Gardens for just under a year. In that time, her confidence and happiness levels have grown, she loves her time at nursery, and we enjoy seeing her development through the shared photos and updates. All the staff are excellent; they know my daughter even though they
work in a different room, and her key worker has formed a lovely bond with her. There are lots of activities, and she is able to spend a lot of time outside in the garden and enjoys the food. Overall, I would definitely recommend Newbury Gardens!

I couldn't have hoped for a better experience with a nursery. My son's key person was fantastic at helping him to settle when he started in January and he has been thriving at the nursery ever since. The staff are so warm and caring, as well as always professional. It's lovely to see the bond my son
has with them. They run a great range of activities for the children. They have also been so responsible and careful in relation to my son's allergies. I really feel that my son is being well looked after every day and that his individuality is recognised and nurtured.

Our Son has been at Newbury Gardens Day Nursery for over 3 years. I could not imagine sending him anywhere else. The staff throughout the nursery have been absolutely amazing, and any questions or requests are answered promptly. We have nothing but praise and admiration for the care they have given
to our son. He absolutely loves attending and will often talk about the members of staff and what they have done with him or the games that they have played. There is genuine care and interest in every child.


We are well informed about what the children have been doing and the staff are happy to talk through his progress. He has learnt so much during his time there and the staff have been unwavering in their kindness and support through the pandemic and all the challenges that they have faced. Not once has anything ever felt like it was too much to ask. We are eternally grateful and I will continue to recommend it without hesitation.

My daughter was 11 months old when she started at Woodley Gardens Day Nursery and left just a day before she started her school. The 4 years that she's been at this nursery she's had the best time of her life. They have helped her in shaping her confidence, manners, and overall personality. The staff
is super accommodating and superbly amazing. I can't thank them enough for all the hard work they put in for my daughter and all other kids.
