My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds since going to Budbrooke. She has developed so much in all areas and always comes out happy and smiling. The staff are brilliant and really take time to understand each child and create a lovely environment for them to play and learn in.

Finding the perfect nursery as a first-time parent, can be overwhelming. We looked at many nurseries in the area, but nowhere had the warmth and charm that Budbrooke House offered and continues to offer! The team welcome my daughter into the nursery with a warm smile and always check how we all are.
The team have become a second family to us. I am envious of the meals she is served, as they are so well thought out and sound delicious. Somehow, she eats everything at nursery and nothing at home! The activities on offer are fun, exciting and engaging. We love to see the photos of her on their online app each day - she is always smiling and looking busy! The whole experience from show-round to moving rooms has been nothing but easy.
Thanks for everything you do Budbrooke House! We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a family-friendly nursery.

We really love this nursery and so does our little boy. We have seen really positive developments since he has been going to the baby room from about 6 months old. The staff are all lovely and even though he has a little whinge when we drop him off, its clear that he has had a good time when we pick
him up. The nursery meals have helped us broaden what he eats at home. We also really like seeing the updates and photos on the app. Thank you, Budbrooke!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such positive feedback. I will pass on your kind words to our Baby room team.


We take pride in providing a varied, nutritious and tasty 8 week menu and it is great to hear the positive impact on your family.


Many thanks again for your review!

For me, it’s the amazing learning activities they do daily, the different fresh food my daughter is offered for lunch and dinner and clear communication using the app. The staff are very friendly and informative. The indoor and outdoor facilities are to a high standard and kept clean throughout the
day as when I’ve been there for collection at different times I’ve seen a cleaning regime is followed. All in all, gives me confidence my daughter is in a safe and fun learning environment

Our little girl has been attending nursery here since she was 6 weeks old. From the very start, all of the nursery staff were informative and attentive in making sure that all of her needs were met and that we are kept up to date on her day as it progresses through their app. As she’s grown, she’s learnt
so much! She can feed herself with a knife and fork, she can shake her head for no, she knows what she wants and will lead you to it. She has an amazing interest in books! She’s learnt all of this at Budbrooke and has formed a close bond with her key workers.
They do different activities each day that allow her to experience a variety of different themes, textures, smells and colours.
I’ve since changed jobs but rather than move nursery, I take a 30-minute detour from my commute each morning and evening to drop her at Budbrooke. There’s no other nursery I’d rather her be at!

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It is lovely to hear you recognise the different learning opportunities we provide each day. It has been a pleasure to watch your daughter grow. Thank you again, I will pass on your kind words to the team.

Budbrooke House Nursery has gone above and beyond what I would have asked for in childcare for my toddler. My daughter attends the nursery and has done for over a year. She talks fondly of the staff and all the fun activities she does. The communication from the nursery has been fantastic, using the
app as a way of handing over to parents, but virtually and throughout the day. I can be at work and see what my child has had for lunch or what she's been up to. That being said, the staff always make time to hand over to whoever is collecting the child and gives them an outline of what's been going on that day. I honestly feel as though every staff member enjoys their job and really wants to provide an excellent learning environment for the children. The moving between rooms is carefully managed, including visits and meetings with new key workers. Their open-door policy (calling whenever during the day), really helped during settling periods. Such a blessing to have a place at this nursery!

Budbrooke House is just an all-around fantastic nursery. My son has been there almost a year now and you can see the visible excitement on his face as we arrive and he realises we’re on our way in! The staff are always welcoming, friendly and very helpful. It’s not just their kind words, but their actions
too, that show you, they genuinely care for the children. Their communication is impeccable and their documentation of his day, through updates and photos are thorough and highly detailed. We always feel at ease leaving him with the team, knowing he’s receiving the highest level of care and attention. In addition, all meals are varied, nutritious and have introduced him to so many foods we’d now consider his favourites. Budbrooke House comes highly recommended.

Budbrooke nursery and preschool are both equally fantastic. My 2 daughters have attended both settings and have thoroughly enjoyed their time there. Both girls have dairy intolerances and still benefit from a good varied diet when attending the settings.
I would highly recommend this nursery and preschool
as it has great facilities, early drop-off options, extended hours for working parents and friendly, caring staff members.

Before starting Budbrooke our son was at another nursery. Moving him was the best decision we ever made! The staff are great and always smiling, the menu is nutritious with second helpings of meals always offered, and communication has been really good in regards to his development.
I honestly couldn’t
recommend them enough and our little boy loves it there

Our child has been at Budbrooke House for just over a year and a half and we cannot fault the nursery at all. Our son has developed so much in that time and he thoroughly enjoys going to nursery every day. He often talks fondly about what he has done during his time at nursery, activities and about
the staff and friends he plays with daily. Each member of staff is warm and friendly and always happy to help or give advice as and when needed. It's clear that they take pride in their work and enjoy working as part of the Budbrooke team and with the children in their care. Our child follows a vegan diet and when we told the nursery they weren't phased by this, just happy to accommodate our child's dietary needs. They provide delicious meals, where our child will often ask for seconds! We fully trust that Budbrooke House are giving our child the very best opportunities to develop, grow and enjoy his early years of life. Our biggest thanks to all the team at Budbrooke House Children's Nursery

My daughter has been here since she was 11 months old and now at 25 months she has grown and developed under the careful, passionate and imaginative nursery team.
My daughter skips into nursery every day, and on the way home tells me about all she has done, from finding dinosaurs in ice to hot chocolates
in the snow, to races in the garden. The staff are all so diligent and caring, and the imaginative play is just amazing.
Everything is well organised, and during the pandemic as a key worker, they have gone above and beyond to ensure that I can go to work, even on days that she is usually in nursery, so I can go to the frontline knowing my daughter is in safe hands.

My daughters have been attending the nursery since September 2020. We are so happy with this nursery. The staff are all so lovely, the girl's keyworkers and our daughters have such lovely relationships with them. My girls absolutely love going to nursery and I always know that they are well looked after
and given a cuddle if they need one. They are always very happy when I pick them up from nursery and excited to share what they have done in the day. I like the app which tells you what they have been doing throughout the day.
Would definitely recommend this nursery. Thank you!

At Budbrooke, the nursery staff are amazing. If contacted they are always happy to assist with any questions I might have. Their feedback and progress on the app are amazing and convenient. With our eldest, we were scared she would not adapt to a nursery surrounding, but the ladies have made her feel
so welcome and loved also cared for. Our daughter comes home tired from playing and learning and can't wait to go to nursery the next day. Also, the ladies are there to support the parents, it really is an amazing nursery and I would 100% recommend it to anyone.

My daughter left the baby and toddler nursery in September 2020. She has moved to the preschool and is settled in so well, thanks to the cohesive settling in sessions between the settings.
I cannot thank the Budbrooke house enough for providing my daughter with such a fantastic start in life.
The
activities on the online learning journal are beautiful to look at. It made me so reassured that she was having a great day, whilst I was busy working.
A fantastic team. Thanks, Budbrooke House.

We have recently moved to the preschool from the baby nursery. My son had the best possible start to life here. The team are passionate, hardworking and loving. The food is healthy, balanced and nutritious. My son had better lunches than me. I am forever grateful for the love and care my son received
here. Thank you.

Our youngest is well into his 2nd year at the baby nursery (our eldest having been there previously). He has a great time with lots of fun activities going on every day, especially in the great outdoor space.
The staff are all excellent, especially implementing the recent COVID measures. Staff are
always friendly and approachable if you ever have any queries or concerns. It is nice that a lot of the staff are there from when our eldest attended.
The daily updates via the Blossom app are also a nice touch.
Would thoroughly recommend.

My daughter attends and absolutely loves her time there. She often comes home and excitedly talks about what she has been doing. The feedback from staff is always comprehensive and informed, and any day to day issues are quickly highlighted and dealt with. The variety of activities is impressive, and
the outside space is something which really adds benefit to the overall facility. All in all, excellent for both parents and children.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.978)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.978) out of 10 for Budbrooke House Children's Nursery, Warwick is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.978 for Budbrooke House Children's Nursery, Warwick is calculated as follows: ( (317 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.978

  • 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 Budbrooke House Children's Nursery, Warwick is based on 27 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 43 number of registered child places is 8.6, which has been reached with 27 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.
