Our three year old and two year old go here once per week, and to Christopher Robin in London Road four times per week. When my wife went back to work full time, our regular nursery didn't have our fifth day available, but we didn't hesitate in putting our children into nearby Burpham. Everything we
like about Christopher Robin is transferable between the two.


The staff are all excellent and all form bonds with the children. You can tell they love kids and are very patient, not just doing care as a job. They allow the children to play with what they like to do. They encourage safe interaction with other children and good manners. The manager is hands on and always knows what both kids have done that day if we need to call for any reason.


The outside space is MASSIVE and very safe and interactive, the best I've seen at any nursery. Overall, we're delighted at the care the children receive here and know that they are enhancing how we aim to raise them; happy, confident and empathetic.

I thought I didn't like nurseries and I have definitely been converted! Our daughter's care was shared between close family until she was 2 and 3/4. The situation changed and after an unsuccessful 2.5 weeks we decided to try a nursery and I visited four. Christopher Robin was neither the most convenient
nor the cheapest but I got a good feeling about the place from my first phone call with the manager. After visiting I was left with the feeling that this was a place I could leave my daughter. Two close friends also highly recommended it to me, one who used it from 2008 - 2016 and another who currently has a child attending.


My daughter started in early March and has settled really well. I've been most impressed with the genuine warmth and affection the staff have for her already, especially her key worker in Kangas. My fussy eater is already eating new foods. She loves playing in the garden. I've also been impressed with the interaction from staff in other rooms.

My daughter loves going to nursery and is very settled. She has multiple food allergies which are easily catered for. The nursery teachers are friendly and get to know the children individually. We're very happy with the care she receives here.

My son has attended this nursery for more than two years and throughout the level of care, kindness and fun has been outstanding. I chose the nursery largely on reputation and for its wonderful garden but have learned that it's greatest asset is it's long serving staff who work diligently and enthusiastically
every day to ensure the children are well looked after, engaged and educated. Going back to work full time feeling positive about childcare was a huge relief to me.

As our daughter has only been at the nursery for 3 months, it is hard to provide an in-depth opinion, but our impression so far is of a very well run school where our daughter is well cared for and has fun.
Our only negative point would be that, although the outside space is excellent, the layout
inside is a bit cramped in places, with nowhere to leave buggies inside when collecting and dropping off and circulation space is quite limited.

Christopher Robin is a lovely nursery. My eldest has attended for the past 3 years since he was 6 months old and has always been very happy. My youngest started at a similar age and settled in very easily. Both have formed excellent bonds with the staff. I find the girls to be caring, kind and always
seem to have the boys best interests at heart. My favourite days are nursery days as the boys are so settled and worn out in the evenings after a fun day playing!

My two children have been at Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Burpham and my little boy is still attending. We love it. From the support given to the nervous mummy dropping off her little precious bundle at 10-months-old to kind, caring teaching in 'Tiggers' and everything in between - it has been great.
The manager is superb - friendly, flexible, welcoming and happy - she is a great manager. It is more like and extended family rather than a day care service. Thanks.

The nursery is fantastic, it has a wonderful outdoor area where children can play in nature while participating in various activities. My girl enjoys being in the nursery very much. The staff are extremely good, they are very attentive and loving. Our girl shows great affection to her lead person and
other teachers in the same room. The nursery is trying to regularly change the layout, toys and activities so that babies can experience different things. The foods are delicious and well suited for baby's needs according to their development stage.

Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Burpham is a very special place: warm, welcoming and professional. Every member of staff shows a remarkable level of commitment to providing the best possible care for the children. They don't take long to develop a loving relationship with the children, reassuring them
whilst at the same time challenging them to develop new, positive behaviours where necessary. There are firm ground rules in place to help the children to be successful in their first social setting outside the home.

Excellent nursery. I have had both my daughter and son go to this nursery. Great staff, good leadership, children are educated as well as have fun.
Would highly recommend this nursery and have friends in other Christopher Robin's and they are very happy with the nursery.
Great key workers! More importantly,
the kids love it.

We have used CRNB for the last 5 years, for my oldest child and now our youngest. They both started at age 1. Christopher Robin is a lovely nursery and the children have been very happy to attend and have each made good friendships whilst they are there. The staff do an excellent job caring for the
children and encouraging and supporting them to learn through play. The garden at Burpham is a fantastic area with the children spending most of the day outdoors in the warm sunny weather.

Leaving your child for the first time is really hard for any mum, there was such an effort to make the transition as easy as possible. Now, my daughter can't wait to get to the nursery which is such a weight off a working mums mind. When I drop my daughter off, I know she is loved by the ladies who
look after her, they update me on her day with a smile on their face and I know they are almost as proud of her achievements as I am.

From the moment I went into the nursery for a look around, I knew it was the place for my daughter. The staff are all friendly and my daughter loves them. She looks forward to going to school every day and has come along leaps and bounds since starting here. I am always fascinated with what she has
learnt and the beautiful things she makes during the day. I have referred another friend and her daughter is just as happy as mine. I couldn't recommend enough!

We have been with this nursery since January 2012. Both our daughters have been here since they were one and we could not have been happier with the care and attention they have received. As parents, we have always been informed and updated about their progress regularly. There has never been any reason
for us to challenge the nursery team and we have always had confidence in their ability to provide and care for our children. We are very happy parents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Burpham 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.898 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Burpham is calculated as follows: ( (469 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 512 Ratings = 4.898

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Burpham is based on 43 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 43 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
