Amazing nursery, very loving staff who clearly care deeply for the children. All the teachers knew every child's name, even those outside the room/class they were supporting. Very pleased with this nursery, wouldn't send my little one anywhere else in Maidenhead!

A wonderful nursery, that really cares about the children and staff. My little one loved it here, they were very accommodating and helpful when it came to irregular eating and potty training. Plenty of activities to keep children engaged, encouraged exercising, music and instilling confidence. Experience
with Bumblebee and Pre-School rooms. Staff always very happy and calm.
We would never have left them only we moved away. I can't recommend these guys highly enough.

Mulberry nursery are so nurturing. Both my children went there and have very different characters. One extremely shy and one very social and confident. Both were looked after and nurtured in the appropriate ways they needed to be. They both loved it there.
My son who was in the bumblebee room said
he didn't want me to pick him up early afternoon as he wanted to be with his friends and have his snack!
The Bumblebee team are just absolutely second mums to my children. We leave our kids for sometimes 8-9 hours per day for the whole week and the staff get to know our child just as much as we do.
We will miss you all but I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

We are absolutely over the moon with our experience at Mulberry. We moved our children here in September and have loved every minute. The setting is welcoming and well-organised but the staff make it amazing. The personal attention that both our children receive is off the charts. My daughter in particular
had had a hard time settling in at her previous nursery but is now excited to go and comes home full of stories about the things she has learnt. Both have made major developments in social and literary skills and we get lovely, detailed and helpful feedback from the team on a regular basis. Honestly couldn't recommend better!

Mulberry is such a warm, caring environment, where the staff care deeply about the children. My son was there for 2 years and couldn't wait to go. It feels like a family and a real community. The facilities are great and just the right size to have lots to do for the kids but still feel intimate enough
and not overwhelming. We got extremely thoughtful advice on how my son was interacting with other kids, his opportunities and how to accelerate them - he was sent home with a writing aid completely unprompted. The assessments and app are a great way to be kept in the loop. Where Mulberry really stands out is their people - their professionalism, how much energy they put into making the nursery fun and updating parents, including them in events such as Mother/Father's day teas and a summer fete. The graduation was exceptional and emotional for parents and nursery staff. Couldn't recommend them more!

Thank you all for a wonderful decade of care for our children. Our three children have all thoroughly enjoyed their time at Mulberry which has been like a home from home since 2013. They have been looked after by an absolutely brilliant group of people over the years and we are so grateful to each and
every one of you who has given such care and attention. We will all remember Mulberry fondly as a warm, fun and loving environment which has been an extremely positive start to the kids' social and academic lives.
We wish you all the very best for the future and hope that the nursery continues to thrive.

Both my boys have been to Mulberry so we have been there virtually daily for circa 5 years. We did not know the area before moving to Maidenhead so Mulberry was a bit of a gamble for us but we properly fell on our feet. I am honestly sad that the boys are leaving now! The staff have become like our
second family. They are professional, empathetic and kind. They have guided us through the ups and downs of nursery and I couldn't have been happier with their support. Thank you Mulberry!

Our daughter joined Mulberry in September 2021 after we moved to the area and attended until the week before she moved to reception in September 2022. I cannot praise the staff enough for helping with her transition. Once she was settled my daughter loved going 3 days a week and the bond between not
only the children but the staff were amazing to see. I had full faith that they had her best interests at heart and really cared about her development and wellbeing. My husband and I saw an amazing transition in her daily conversations and more recently her handwriting skills which we give full credit to the Mulberry team for. We cannot thank the team enough for everything they have done for us the past year and would recommend them to anyone! Thank you!

My son has been at Mulberry since he was 18 months old, until his final week at preschool.
Mulberry have not only been extraordinary, but somehow in my heart they have been some sort of a true extension to us parents. The staff are simply beyond exceptional people, their kindness contributed to our
child's happiness in many ways. Our son developed bonds with the staff, with his friends there too, and amazingly, he was every morning excited to go to the nursery, sometimes even forgetting to say bye-bye to me after I dropped him off at Mulberry. More than that, the head of the staff had been supportive and patient with us, helpful and she is so devoted to her role. All staff were always pleasant to see, talk to and exchange with and relying on them made me feel safe and mentally so satisfied. Our son will miss them so much and so will I. We love them all. A magical nursery!

Fantastic staff. My boy was asked to leave his previous nursery two years ago because they were not willing to spend the time giving him the support he needed. So happy we found Mulberry. Led by great management, they have instilled a great ethos in the team. My child was given the support he needed
and under their care, he has thrived. Thank you so much to everyone at Mulberry!

This nursery should be rated outstanding. I started sending my son there since he was 10 months old. The ladies there were amazing with him. I feel so confident every day thinking that my little boy is with a group of kind, friendly people. They really are doing their best to look after the little ones.

My daughter has settled so well in the nursery. Everyone is so lovely and polite, and they really do treat children as individuals and they make sure their needs are met. Also, its all about learning through play, so staff provide amazing activities and learning experiences for children, amazing! At
the end of the day, a lovely feedback is given so you know all about your child's day. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Both of my children attended Mulberry from 9 months until they started infant school and they both loved it, as did we as parents.
The staff are lovely and caring, the food is varied and healthy and the facilities and space are good.
We had only positive experiences and would definitely recommend

I can not praise this nursery and its staff enough. They have been amazing in looking after my son and helping in his development; he has changed so much since starting and improved in all areas. The staff and management team genuinely care so much about all the children and it is shown as soon as you

We have used Mulberry Day Nursery for the last 7 years for both our children. They have both enjoyed their time here, the staff are friendly and engaging and, prior to Covid, we always received full feedback on what the children had done all day.
Covid proved challenging for the nursery but they adapted
well and my younger child continued to be happy with their time here until they finished very recently.
I would recommend the nursery to anyone looking for an all-inclusive set-up with good opening hours and a great location if you're a commuter into central London - only 5 minutes walk to the train station.
I feel that my children were/are fully prepared for school life, with lots of communication and interaction around how each of the local schools are set up. They have taught the children basic numbers and letters as well as 'non-academic' subjects such as dressing themselves independently which is all necessary for a successful start to school life.

Even though my little one started at Mulberry in the middle of the pandemic, the staff did their utmost to help me feel comfortable leaving my then 5 month old with them for full days of nursery.


The food is amazing, the activities planned for each day keep the little ones engaged and the updates

through their parent portal are great to ensure we as parents don’t miss out on what our little ones get up to.


8 months later, my little lady loves going to nursery and is so excited when I drop her off in the mornings.

I made a move to Mulberry Day Nursery from another nursery as I was so dissatisfied with the previous one. Mulberry staff are made of honest, genuine, experienced and most importantly from caring people. I see the nursery manager and deputy manager very often in the room where my baby is and this shows
how close they are with kids and the staff (not like other nursery managers who have no idea what’s going in the rooms).
To be honest, no further comment as you will feel the atmosphere when you meet staff and kids. It is like coming from three-stars hotel to five-stars hotel!
I see happy kids and happy families!
Lots of activities and games on going and my baby boy is so happy there!
Let’s give an improvement area though, the parking on the street is sometimes difficult so hoping the nursery opens their car park to visitors (closed due to the Covid) so there is more space to park!

My three year old daughter has been attending Mulberry Day Nursery (Maidenhead) since she was eleven months old. She has progressed through the nursery and is now in the pre-school room. Due to Covid-19 she has had extended leave from the nursery since November 2020 and has not spent time with anyone
other than her immediate family. She returned to Mulberry Day Nursery (Maidenhead) at the beginning of February 2021 and I can honestly say that she has coped with the change to her routine and care so well. The staff have been sensitive and supportive of this transition and have enabled her to restart her attendance with confidence and joy, whilst reassuring me that she is engaging with staff and peers well. I could not recommend this nursery enough and am certainly thankful for their ongoing support and professionalism at this difficult time.

Fabulous nursery, really caring and lovely staff. My son started off, and now my daughter attends and both thoroughly enjoyed the huge range of activities, toys and garden play. They have such a wide range of equipment and always thinking of new ideas.
During this challenging tiume, the staff
have gone above and beyond and really made birthdays for example, very special occasions.

We have been so impressed with the way Mulberry Day Nursery have looked after our two children, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. The nursery's response has been excellent, placing a priority on everyone's safety and wellbeing. Key workers, caterers and management clearly care about the children
and are always open to looking at ways to keep improving.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for Mulberry Day Nursery (Maidenhead) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.871 for Mulberry Day Nursery (Maidenhead) is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.871

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.824 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mulberry Day Nursery (Maidenhead) is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 91 number of registered child places is 18.2. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.824

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Kristina Edgson

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2015

Kristina is the Manager of Mulberry Day Nursery and has a wealth of experience, having worked in the early years sector for 16 years. Kristina has an NVQ Level 3 and NVQ Leadership and Management and has worked at Childbase since 2015.


What is your favourite feature of your nursery?
I really like the homely feel we have here and that it feels like a second home for so many. I like our Preschool room and the fact it has lots of different rooms so the children can focus on different things in each space. They also have their own outdoor terrace upstairs to be able to explore things they can’t necessarily do in the shared garden. Our main priority in the nursery is to help the children feel safe and secure so they are able to thrive throughout their learning. We have a large outdoor space which we utilise a lot and ensure the children experience the outdoors in all weathers.


What are you most proud of about your nursery/team?
I am really proud of my team for the way they build bonds with the children and make the nursery feel like this is their second home too. We have achieved our Eco Flag with distinction which the children are passionate about. We really enjoy getting to know all our families and making the parents just as at home as the children.
