Overall Experience

My kids have been going to Brookvale Nursery since 2021 and this year my youngest said goodbye as she is starting reception from September. It's been quite a journey for us but staff at Brookvale made it superb and I couldn't be happier seeing both my kids there. They would come back home every time

happy, tired from various activities and excited to go the very next day. They could do all the messy activities like playing with water, sand, mud, playdough, paints, that, as a parent, you would not like to have done at home. The playground of the nursery is very big and it would be used on a daily basis, so kids come home both tired and smiling. Staff are simply brilliant, with their positive attitude and warmth. Very communicative, very inviting but still focused on what is the best for your child. Thank you, Brookvale Nursery, it's been a good journey!

Reply from Amanda Herd, Nursery Manager at Brookvale Nursery

Thank you for your kind words, it's always good to hear that we are doing a good job. We do our best to meet the needs of both children and parents and from your comments, we are getting that right. It has been an absolute privilege helping your children to grow and we wish them every success at school.

Overall Experience

I couldn't be more happy with the whole team at Brookvale Nursery. My older boy attended preschool there for less than a year before going to school and was so well prepared that the transition didn't cause any stress. I have my second boy who started in babies and is now in the toddler room. Every

day he is learning new things and honestly having the time of his life there. He loves going in the morning and is just running into the room with a smile. Now we expect our third boy and I am confident that when he is ready to start his journey in nursery, the team at Brookvale will take all necessary steps to support us and the baby for a smooth settle.

Reply from Amanda Herd, Nursery Manager at Brookvale Nursery

Thank you for your lovely comments. It's been a pleasure to watch your children grow and develop and we look forward to welcoming the new arrival soon.

Overall Experience

I'd like to express my sincere gratitude and sheer thanks to all the staff, my little girl has settled amazingly since September and I can't thank you all enough for all the time, support, acknowledgements and messages of response keeping me up to date with her time at nursery and the constant reassurance

the girls give me when she was first starting and always reassuring me being a single worried mum. It's a relief seeing her go to the girls and the smile on her face and how happy she is when I leave her now, just shows how settled she is and feels safe. She loves it and since moving into the toddler room she is just thriving in every way and aspect. I'm looking forward to watching her grow with all the staff's support and encouragement Thank you from the bottom of my heart you ladies and gents are fabulous.

Reply from Amanda Herd, Nursery Manager at Brookvale Nursery

Thank you for your lovely comments. We always try to offer support where we can, we understand that parenting is not an easy job and that leaving your child with others means developing trusting relationships. We are so thankful that you trust us to care for your child.

Overall Experience

My little girl started the nursery in September 2023, and since being there, her development has been amazing, they have helped her through her speech as she wasn't speaking much before starting and also interacting with other people and children. They are very welcoming and very informative on the

day she has had when it comes to driving or picking up my daughter.

Reply from Amanda Herd, Nursery Manager at Brookvale Nursery

We pride ourselves on making children's communication development a priority, as this is the foundation of all other learning. We are very pleased to hear that your child has made such good progress in such a short period of time and we are sure that this will have a positive impact on her learning as a whole. Thank you for taking the time to comment on our setting.

Amazing nursery! My daughter is always happy there and excited to go. She's learnt many things since joining that I haven't taught her myself! Staff are always kind and are very easy to contact. They also will contact me if she is upset going in to let me know she's okay and send pictures, which helps

a lot as an anxious parent. Couldn't ask for a better experience!

Reply from Amanda Herd, Nursery Manager at Brookvale Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to review our setting. It's great to know that you feel your child is making good progress and learning lots of new things in nursery. We like to feel we are here for parents too and understand it can be difficult to leave children, especially if they are upset, so it's also good to hear that you feel communication between nursery and parents works well and helps you feel reassured.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery from baby through to preschool and throughout that time the staff have been fantastic. All the staff put the care of the children as the No.1 priority. The activities and teaching given to the children offered great variety and fun, we have seen such a positive

improvement in our daughter’s development and confidence throughout the time there and can only thank the team for the genuine care they have offered as well as often going above and beyond in delivering. Without hesitation, I would recommend Brookvale Nursery!

The nursery staff have all been absolutely amazing with my child with special educational needs. They have accommodated his individual needs and ensured he's receiving assessments and funding that he needs, ready for starting school in September.
Communication via the family app is brilliant and it's

a fantastic way to keep track of your child's development. My son has settled into this nursery perfectly and always comes out with a smile. I'd highly recommend this nursery to anyone local.

When my son first started nursery he was very upset and refused to interact with staff and children, which was very upsetting for any parent to see. Staff were very patient and treated my son amazing, now my son loves going to nursery now he has lots of fun and has really come out of his shell which

is amazing to see. Thank you so much to all the staff for all your hard work. "Five-stars". Amazing nursery.

My little girl has attended this nursery shortly after her first birthday. All staff are like a second family to us. They are so friendly but professional, it’s hard putting your child in someone else’s care but honestly, I wouldn’t send her anywhere else. A lovely learning environment where my daughter

has thrived from day one. It will be a sad day when she leaves.

Have been using this nursery since 2018, for preschool and baby room. I feel like my children were/are very well looked after. They have come on a lot with their confidence and communication massively. They also learn a lot in the educational area and general knowledge area.
I will be sending my baby

to this nursery when he is 9 months old without any doubts as I feel comfortable that they are safe and well looked after.
I would highly recommend them.
