  • 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.

Both my sons love this nursery. The staff genuinely care about the children there and treat them as individuals. We get great feedback on their development and any areas of concern. Both the indoor and outdoor areas are great.

My little boy really enjoys going to this nursery. Staff and management are brilliant. They are always teaching new things and this way really contributes to the development of my son. Also, they are always ready to help and provide advice which might be needed especially for first time mum like myself.
I am extremely grateful to every staff member in this nursery for helping my little boy to grow, develop and improve his skills in different areas.

We’re really happy with this nursery, both our daughters go there. The oldest is in preschool and has learnt so much. The youngest is in the baby room now, and the staff now know both sisters, which are lovely and show it’s a good place as they stick around. The manager is absolutely brilliant, I have
so much faith in her. Her management of the nursery through the pandemic has been amazing. She works tirelessly and knows all the kids and all their quirks. There’s a really creative round of activities linked to real-life each week. The staff are lovely, they seem happy there, and that’s so important as your kids need to be around happy people to thrive. They’ve all done so well to work through the pandemic and make life feel normal for the kids. Well done to all, and thank you!

Reply from David Wiggam, Director at The Brampton Day Nursery

Thank you, Lucy, for your very kind words. We do have an amazing set of childcare professionals, who love what they do, and they are inspired by their manager. They have been brilliant through the pandemic, keeping each other safe and sticking to some tough working routines.

Fantastic nursery setting. My eldest child has been at the nursery since a year and is due to leave for reception class in September. My youngest child started in the baby room in July 2020. The care both have received at the nursery has been fantastic. The children do a range of activities throughout
the week, lots of outdoor activities including forest school, lots of arts and crafts. They support children in the pre-school room get in preparation for starting reception is also very good. The staff have done a wonderful job of keeping the children’s day-to-day lives as normal as possible during the COVID pandemic, despite it being a difficult time for the staff themselves. Overall, I would highly recommend this nursery.

Both my daughters have attended The Brampton Day Nursery and both have received brilliant care and support in this setting. My youngest literally lights up with joy when she sees the nursery door open! Staff appears to be very nurturing and attentive, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to
look after anyone’s children.

I would highly recommend Brampton Day Nursery! All of the staff are fantastic, his key persons, in particular, have been fundamental in looking after my son and helping him to settle in and develop around his peers at the nursery. He loves his nursery days and as parents, we feel extremely happy in
the knowledge that he’s being well looked after and cared for when he’s there.

We love this nursery! The staff are amazing. Always communicating and building relationships with the parents as well as the children. The range of activities provided each day indoors and outdoors is fantastic. My daughter always leaves here so happy and can't wait to go back the next day. The meals
and snacks always go down well and are so well balanced. My daughter has learnt so much from attending and comes home with new vocabulary every week. Both my children have loved this nursery and we would highly recommend this nursery to everyone!

The Brampton Day Nursery have cared for two of our children from 2017 to the current day. As a first time mother, I was hesitant about sending my child to nursery and returning to work, but everyone made the experience less stressful. The induction sessions are a wonderful chance for the children to
settle and for the staff to get to know your child. The Brampton Day Nursery have always been so accommodating for both my children, and its never been a problem if we wanted to do something slightly different to help with their development or settling. I love hearing my children singing their new favourite songs that they learnt at nursery (thank you nursery for providing me with the correct words to sing along!) Both my children love going into the nursery and are always greeted with a smile.

My daughter has been attending Brampton Day Nursery since May 2020. All of the staff have made us feel very welcome. My daughter was very shy due to lockdown and since attending she has come on in leaps and bounds with her confidence. The staff are happy to keep me updated during the day to ease my
mind on how she is doing. I would highly recommend the manager and her team as they have shown such love and care to my daughter it makes the whole process of sending her a lot easier.

Our daughter joined earlier in the year from a previous nursery where she had been since a baby. This was a big move for her (and us) and I can't thank the team at Brampton Day Nursery enough for making her feel so welcome and loved from day one. Very quickly, our daughter was speaking excitably about
new friends and staff and we have never had a problem of her leaving to go to 'school'. She comes home happy, clean with new learnings daily. The staff are very personable and can't support you enough, even through COVID and nursery closure the team ensured the children were engaged with them via Facebook activities etc.. Highly recommend, we only wish we moved here earlier.

My son has been attending The Brampton Day Nursery full time since he was 11-months-old; they have played a huge part in his development and helped him achieve all of the milestones.
The staff have always been very supportive and understanding of his needs, and he has clearly made strong bonds with
the staff and his nursery friends.
The nursery itself always has high standards, and the setting is wonderful for the children, lots of different areas of play as well as one of the best children's gardens I've seen.
During forest school, my son often does tasks that he would never have been able to do at home. They are always improving the setting and bringing in new exciting things for the children to experience.
My son is very happy there, and I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Brampton nursey has looked after my daughter since she was 6-months-old, I don't need to say anything more, as she now goes into her final year in preschool.
The transition back to nursery after Covid 19 has been excellent, all staff, especially the nursery manager, has gone over and above their usual
duties and I cannot thank them enough.

My eldest went here from March 2015 - August 2019, and my youngest from March 2019 to present. We love the intimate setting of a village nursery and have always been happy with the care and 'education' our children have received there. I will say that, had my eldest not already been at The Brampton
Day Nursery, I would probably not have sent my youngest, this is almost solely due to the frequent turnover of staff. There have been that many managers that I struggle to keep up. The young, inexperienced staff are sometimes more obvious because of the turnover being so often - continuity is a problem.

Reply from David Wiggam, Director at The Brampton Day Nursery

Thank you for the very positive comments regarding the care your children have received at The Brampton Day Nursery. Continuity of staff is always something that we strive to achieve, but maternity leave and a very challenging recruitment picture for childcare staff nationally do make this extremely difficult. We have always been focused on maintaining the standards of childcare we provide and as we have retained our outstanding OFSTED rating (2019), I would make the point that our staff are all working extremely hard.

My son attends the nursery every day and I cannot speak highly enough of the service they offer. When they tell me what they’ve been up to at the end of the day I can’t believe how they’ve managed to fit it all into one day! Music, cooking, painting, stories, the list is endless. They have excellent
outdoor spaces and I love the emphasis on outdoor play, including the Forest School approach.
Food is all freshly prepared on site, varied and nutritious. The staff provide detailed feedback daily at pick up and are always happy to spend time discussing anything in further detail. But most important for me is the wonderful bond the staff and children have. I know my son is in the very best hands and loves being at nursery. He can hardly wait for Monday morning to roll back round again!

My daughter has attended 2 days/week since January 2019 and I have been thoroughly impressed.
She is thriving and really coming on with her speech and development.
The daily handover is detailed with her food and drink, wet/dirty nappies, sleep times etc as well as what she has been doing all day.
When
she had a little bump on the head from playing outside I was impressed that nearly all the staff knew of the incident, so I was very reassured regarding what had happened and the management of a little accident like this.
The best review of all is that since about the 3rd week of my daughter attending she goes running in and waves ‘bye bye’ from the far side of the room.

My daughter first started at the nursery in June at 12 months old. Naturally, she was unsettled initially and we had a lot of tears, but I’ve been extremely impressed with how the staff have helped her settle in, and on only week 3 she’s much more settled and has been joining in with activities and
playing with the other babies which is lovely to hear.
The facilities at the nursery are brilliant, everything is clean, there are different structured activities every day and the food is cooked fresh each day at the nursery.
The staff have been lovely, as a mum, leaving your baby at nursery is hard enough, but they’ve been really reassuring and nothing is too much trouble, even when I’ve phoned to see how my daughter is throughout the day!
When I collect my daughter, one of the nursery staff will let me know what she’s been up to, how she’s eaten, napped, nappy changes etc and they spend the time to talk me through everything which is the nice personal touch you receive at the nursery.
