  • The Brampton Day Nursery, Huntingdon
The Brampton Day Nursery is located on the High Street in the picturesque village of Brampton.

It provides high-quality childcare in a welcoming, stimulating and caring environment.

The nursery building provides a home from home ethos and each light and airy room is equipped with natural furnishings to a very high specification for the individual age groups they provide for.

It supports children’s interests using the Early Years Foundation Stage and Schematic Play and underpins all care and learning using the Characteristics of Effective Learning.

Staff place high importance on open-ended, heuristic resources and each room is equipped to reflect this; they pride themselves on a child centred and creative curriculum.

At The Brampton Day Nursery, staff are extremely passionate about outdoor learning and endeavour to spend a large part of the day outside; this may be in the impressive nursery garden, where they use "forest school principles" or on a walk in the local area.

Amazing nursery. They really make me feel like my child is safe and in good hands. Keep it up guys - you have really taught my daughter a lot and after looking at a few nurseries, this was the one that stood out the most to us as their values and staff were spot on. Very friendly and non judgemental
(you will be surprised what we came across when we were searching.)

The Brampton Day Nursery are such a friendly and nurturing environment for little ones. We are extremely pleased with how they look after our son, and are always confident he is receiving the best care. He comes home with the biggest smile on his face every day, and they give great feedback and advice.
He especially loves all the outside space and opportunities for messy play!

Our son has been at this nursery for the last 2.5 years and it is fantastic. They provide wonderful and varied activities for the children and really help to start the children on the right path of learning and life skills. In particular, our son has been diagnosed with additional needs and I cannot
fault the care, support and guidance we have all been shown as a family since this process begin. Our son absolutely loves going to this nursery and we are so grateful we can leave him knowing he will be receiving outstanding care. Thank you so much to the wonderful manager and all the lovely staff at the nursery, I cannot recommend them enough.

Our little girl is in the under 2's room and couldn't be happier. She has never shed a tear when going in, and the staff make it feel like a second home. We love the weekly sheets reading up about the activities of their week. We love the nursery ethos and can't wait for her to start forest school.
The manager and her team are exceptional in all parent and children matters. We couldn't ask for more.

The manager is exceptional. She is always striving above and beyond to make every occasion incredibly special and immersive for all the children who attend. The children are offered regular baking, sewing, gardening activities and other practical life-long skills, all of which is so vitally important!
We are so grateful for this wonderful, rich, and holistic head start to our son’s learning journey. Thank you to the team at Brampton Day Nursery.

I’ve really struggled with settling my daughter into a nursery and they have been so amazing, allowed us to do a very phased settling in and are patient with me when I need to regularly call to check in on her, throughout the day. Any concerns are listened to and she seems to be absolutely thriving.
I really was at the point where I didn’t think nursery was an option for us and the support has made such a difference.

Both our daughters have found The Brampton Day Nursery to be a hugely warm, positive, nurturing and fun setting to develop in. We visited a number of nurseries but had a really good feeling about The Brampton Day Nursery - the lovely setting and the staff. It has been a really important part of our
girls' lives - both really look forward to going in, come out smiling and are full of stories about their day. The mix of creative activities is great to encourage their development and the staff are really attentive and caring and we have total trust in them. The manager is brilliant, always handles any questions proactively and thoughtfully, and sets a really positive tone. Our girls have made really close friends and even though our eldest has started school now, she misses the nursery and loves to visit when we're dropping/picking up our youngest, and is greeted with so much warmth. We will be sad the day our youngest leaves the nursery - it has felt like our extended family. We highly recommend it.

We viewed a number of nurseries before we found The Brampton Day Nursery and what a wonderful place it is. Our little boy started part-time in November and from January, he has been going full-time. Bearing in mind he spent over a year at home with me he has settled in fantastically. At first, he found
the drop offs very hard, but after a week of going full-time, he was away and now he can’t wait to get to nursery in the mornings. He always greets the girls with a big smile and walks straight in. It’s so lovely to see. I can’t praise the manager and the team highly enough. What a wonderful nursery and what a wonderful team of lovely, caring ladies. It’s so encouraging to see our little boy enjoying himself and feeling so settled and happy there. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone. If you’re looking for a caring, safe, fun and friendly environment to leave your little one, this is the place. I’m so happy we found you. Thank you for everything you do for our little boy.

When we moved into the area just over 2 years ago, we began our search for a nursery and made a shortlist. We visited the Day Nursery in Brampton first and looked no further! The nursery is set in such a lovely environment - we love how natural everything is, the fact the toys are wooden and the garden
with Forest School was a massive selling point for us. The staff are very kind, attentive and we feel at ease leaving our son in their care. Nothing is too much trouble. Recently, our son has transitioned into the next age of room and had some settling in issues. The staff were very supportive and persevered to help him feel comfortable in his new environment and he is now back to loving going to nursery. He just didn't want to leave his key person from his old room! We love the weekly newsletter where we can see what our son has been up to during the week and also what is coming up in the following week. The photos included are lovely to see. We cannot recommend this nursery enough!

We viewed a few nurseries closer to home but they weren't right for us at all. We were recommended The Brampton Day Nursery, which is further away from us but we were so happy with what we saw online, in the prospectus and how invested the nursery was in the early years learning, that it was an immediate
yes from us. The forest school was a huge bonus and we just felt completely reassured and at ease with the whole nursery environment including the team. Our child has food allergies and we were taken through to the kitchen and shown how rigorous and seriously they take allergies, there was no doubt from us that we wanted our son to attend this nursery.

My daughter started at the day nursery at 6 months old and has enjoyed every single day she has spent at nursery. The staff are always welcoming and my daughter smiles as soon as she sees them at the door each morning. The handovers at the end of each day and the weekly sheet show the wide range of
activities offered and it’s clear the staff are offering activities that are helping to develop play and skills! I would highly recommend the Brampton Day nursery!

We feel extremely grateful to have found a setting for our child that is focused on developing the whole child. We feel relationships are at the heart of this nursery, all staff know our son so well and are invested in supporting him. It feels like a real parent-nursery partnership. The team goes above
and beyond to be inclusive, celebrating and getting involved in a range of events. They invest in a range of wonderfully rich experiences, creating such awe and wonder. Our son is especially fond of the opportunity to join in forest school activities. The transition experience from the baby room to 2-3 room was smooth and reassuring for us all and because of this, he has settled quickly. We always feel well informed, weekly communication is helpful and a real treat to see what our son has been busy doing. We would highly recommend this welcoming setting to others.

Our son has had an incredible early learning experience at The Brampton Day Nursery. The manager's leadership at the nursery has been transformational; She recognised that our son needed more care and support to be ready to thrive at school. She personally spent significant time with our son to build
his emotional intelligence and equip him for transitioning to school. Without her, this would not have been possible. Having said this, all of the staff at the nursery are fantastic with the children and parents - they recognise the anxieties that can come with leaving your child at nursery. They are reassuring and attentive, which means that one feels that their child is being looked after with the highest degree of care possible. I would strongly recommend the nursery - it is an outstanding setting with exemplary staff who put the children’s needs first.

Reply from David Wiggam, Director at The Brampton Day Nursery

Thank you for your very supportive words. The management team at Brampton are very focused on meeting the individual development needs of each child who attends. They have well developed strategies for identifying areas where extra support may be needed. It is always pleasing to hear that they make a real difference to an individual child.

My daughter has loved coming to Brampton Day Nursery and has made lots of friends. She always talks positively about the staff and what she gets up to during her day. Communication has always been responded to promptly and I have been kept informed of my daughter's progress throughout. Would recommend

Our daughter has been attending The Brampton Day Nursery since March 2021. Originally she was due to join in March 2020 and due to COVID, we postponed the start date and the nursery staff were extremely understanding and accommodating, which is an excellent positive before we had even started. The team
are very friendly and welcoming. Our daughter is always smiling at both drop off pick up, this on its own reflects that my little one is really enjoying her time at nursery - as a parent, this provides reassurance that your child is safe and happy. In addition to this, my little one talks about her activities or things she has learnt (which take us by surprise in a good way), sings new songs she has learnt at nursery - this just goes to show how engaging the sessions are. The Manager is excellent, the way she manages children and parents is remarkable. I would highly recommend them and no doubt would use them again.

The Brampton Day Nursery has been a fantastic first nursery for our daughter. She's loved going there, has made some lovely friends and frequently speaks fondly of the staff. Even during difficult lockdown times, the communication has been excellent and we've always been totally reassured that she's
in the best hands. So sad to leave as we move area, but couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough.
