Mulberry Day Nursery is a beautiful property converted to create a happy, sociable nursery where every child is treated as an individual. Much of the character has been retained to provide spacious and interesting rooms with first class facilities.

The nursery has four main playrooms for individual age groups with sensory areas and quiet areas. There is a discreet CCTV system which enables parents to view their children when they first settle into nursery life, and an intercom system for security.

Outside there is a fully enclosed (safety surface) garden with age appropriate activities featuring a Mud Kitchen, construction area, gardening area, sandpit, music area, art studio, digging area, bug hunting area and an outdoor classroom. The nursery has a new Roof Garden which was completed in 2013. They have now achieved their Green Flag for Eco Schools.

Fantastic staff. Good fresh food. Great location and out door garden. We are very happy. Sometimes a bit disappointed when school was too full to take our child for extra sessions.

An excellent nursery. The staff are all really friendly and committed to welcoming the children on arrival. My boy's key worker especially, along with other staff also, seem to know him really well and work hard to ensure he enjoys nursery. His key worker goes above and beyond to work closely with him
and develop his learning. The facilities are excellent and the children get a lot of outdoor play, including a fantastic forest trips. Lots of events are put on also to ensure parents feel connected and informed.

We have been very happy with the care our daughter has received over the last 2 years. The food is always excellent, staff caring and friendly towards us and our child. Nothing is too much to ask. I do occasionally feel the pre-school room is quite busy but am sure this is standard for such an age group
of children. On the whole, our daughter is always very happy there and has been since she started at 12 months old.

My son attends preschool 3 mornings per week. He appears to enjoy it and always seems happy and confident there, he chats about things he's done and friends he has. They seem to do a wide range of activities. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming and seem to know my son well.

My son settled in well within a week of starting. The nursery has a very nice preschool room and a lovely outdoor garden.
I am so pleased with the staff, they are caring and friendly.
They are helping my son improve his skills and confidence level.
I am impressed by the way they have arranged a local
forest trip for the preschool kids. I would definitely recommend the nursery.

My son has attended Mulberry for almost 9 months. He has struggled with his communication and speech development he has been a little slow. Since this was raised to management I've been incredibly happy with the focus the nursery has given. Management, keyworkers and all room staff have afforded a lot
of time and attention to help him with his speech and update me on his progress and areas of attention. They have also supported and worked with me on some behavioural difficulties and given tips when pressed for time. Management have personally met with individually to ensure I'm kept up to date on a monthly basis with what staff are working on him with.

My two boys have been extremely well looked after by the pre-school and ladybird teams at Mulberry. My eldest's speech difficulties were taken seriously with good strategies to help him. We have seen them develop into happy and confident boys. Thank you for everything.

My 2-year-old has been at Mulberry for 6 months and is doing well there. The staff are friendly, caring and he is always happy to go for a hug at drop-off. He has formed a good bond with his key carer who seems genuinely fond of him. He is a fussy eater at home but during his 3 days a week at nursery
he eats most of his meals and snacks. They have a chef there and the meals look nutritious. His language skills have improved a lot since starting there and he comes home singing songs and counting to 10!

It has been my daughter's first month at the nursery. The staff at Mulberry have been amazing. They are caring, reassuring, helpful and personable. My daughter loves coming to nursery and it has really helped with the transition. I get daily updates on what she has been doing, eating, sleeping etc which
is lovely when I have been missing her all day. Would highly recommend to any parent.

My daughter has settled in well to Mulberry Day Nursery and talks so highly of her key workers. I am both surprised and extremely pleased with my daughter's progress since starting Mulberry. All the staff that I have dealt with have been very caring. On collection, I love how detailed the handover is
allowing me to know what she has eaten and if she's napped. Couldn't be happier with Mulberry Day Nursery.

My daughter who is 3, started at Mulberry Day Nursery after we moved house. The nursery staff handled the transition beautifully. Extremely friendly and kind and they carefully documented all my child's needs to ensure the process was smooth. The staff are quite simply outstanding, every time I go into
the nursery they are singing, doing story time and outdoor play. They organised a lovely trip out for the pre-school children which is wonderful, visiting a local forest park. I am so impressed by the attitude and professionalism of this great team of people and I would recommend Mulberry Day Nursery to anyone!

Mulberry Day Nursery (Maidenhead) is a very well organised, friendly and caring nursery, with lovely staff, great outdoor space of thoughtfully selected indoor activities, which change to meet the children's interests. Our daughter has settled quickly, which is a testament to how happy she is and the
investment staff have made in building a relationship and encouraging her to develop relationships with other children.

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.
