Our son, who is now 6, attended Briercliffe Day Nursery and it has been our first choice for our now 8-month-old daughter. Our son had such a wonderful experience there and it is down to the fantastic staff. They are all welcoming and accommodating but most of all amazing with the children. So many
members of staff still work there three years on which I again think shows their commitment to the nursery and children. We're looking forward to our daughter creating many happy memories there.

I would 100% recommend Briercliffe Day Nursery to any parent out there. From the tour we undertook when our son turned 1, to now having been in the nursery for 14 months, we couldn't imagine sending our son anywhere else and feeling as relaxed as we do now. Our son is extremely well cared for and the
nursery feels like home from home. We have a great relationship with the staff at the nursery and they really give the impression that they truly care about the children and their development. Our son comes out of nursery every day with a smile on his face.

We honestly could not have wished for a better start in life for our daughter who is now in her last year of pre-school. The wonderful staff and environment are beyond what we could have hoped. They are so kind, caring and the level of education is perfect. The nursery itself is set in a perfect setting,
which is also near my daughter's primary school. Briercliffe Nursery has a lovely area inside where every child is encouraged to express themselves, plenty of role-play, amazing food for dinners and snacks. Outdoor is an amazing playground with slides, tunnels, climbing bits and my daughter's favourite balance bikes etc. My daughter is the most confident, happy and caring little girl and loves going so much that I think I may need to extend her hours! Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff members, I honestly am dreading the day she has to leave next September. This nursery has been more than perfect for us and we cannot thank you enough.

Briercliffe Nursery was recommended to me by neighbours and I'm happy to say they don't disappoint. My little boy isn't the easiest around people other than me, his dad and his siblings, but within a couple of days, he was running through the door at nursery in a morning. His social skills, his talking
and the way he eats his food has drastically improved since starting, so I am very happy with the service they provide. The regular updates on the app as well, is such an added bonus.

All my children have been to this nursery and they have all loved it, the staff work so hard to support the children in every way possible and will always go the extra mile for them, I am extremely happy with the care they have provided for my children and how much my children have come on in leaps
and bounds since attending Nursery. I would like to thank all the staff that have worked with my children over the years for all the hard work and effort they have put in.

A lovely nursery with very friendly staff who go above and beyond with the children who attend. We have had three children in the setting now, so have experienced every room and stage as one of our eldest has moved through each room and age group. All of our children have had a lovely experience within
this nursery with our youngest still being there and thriving whilst in their care. The managers are all very professional and caring towards all the children and families and the children's key workers really get to know the children inside out, which makes nursery a home away from home, for the little ones.

My daughter who is almost 2 has been going to Briercliffe Day Nursery since she was 11 months old and she absolutely loves it. My older daughter went to the nursery from 10 months until school age and she also loved her time there. My little one skips in every time I take her and has made special connections
with both the other children and her key workers. The premises may appear small compared to other nurseries however I feel that this adds to the homely and welcoming feel that it gives you, I also like the fact that the nursery nurses can keep an eye on your child at all times ensuring maximum safety. You receive daily updates on an app in regards to what your child has eaten, sleep times, toilet habits and also pictures of activities which are always good to see. Overall I think it's a brilliant nursery and would recommend it to my friends and family.

Both of my children have been to Briercliffe Day Nursery and they have loved it and have always come out happy and smiling. The staff are all really lovely and become more like friends. Great menu every week for the children to enjoy and they are always doing fun activities. I would definitely recommend

Briercliffe Day Nursery has looked after both my children and have done so to a high standard. They have a low staff turnover and maintain high standards. My son who is currently at the nursery is always excited to go in the morning and has lots to tell me when he comes home. The staff are very helpful,
always motivated and enthusiastic.

I am really pleased with how our child has settled into nursery and enjoys coming. All the staff are really friendly and flexible and respond to feedback in a positive manner. We love seeing pictures of their day at nursery and if anything could be improved, we'd like to see more.

I highly recommend this nursery! The staff are all so friendly and make such an effort with parents and children at drop offs and collections, showing an interest in their out of nursery activities too. They update online accounts so I know what my son has been learning and playing. They recently encouraged
parents to attend stay and play sessions, to see their children in the setting, whilst providing an update on their achievements and learning needs. My son is settled at the nursery and I feel his needs are recognised and well-supported.

My son has been at Briercliffe Nursery since he was 9 months old and even through covid, has loved attending. He has a fantastic range of foods and as parents, we love the way that we get updates through the portal and can see how he is getting on throughout the day.

My son loved the nursery and the staff. He would always tell me the ladies were his best friends and learnt so much. The nursery offered a wide range of activities, so my son would always come home telling me about the fun he had that day.

Both my children have been here and they absolutely love/loved it. The staff are amazing at what they do with the children and if there are any problems it gets resolved straight away. I have noticed that the children do come on in leaps and bounds with their learning, but they also have lots of fun
doing so as well. Would highly recommend this nursery to anybody that asks.

Both my children have attended Briercliffe Nursery and have flourished throughout their early years. The staff show so much enthusiasm and care. The nursery is a lovely, local, nurturing environment and throughout the years my children have attended, I have had no issues or complaints.

Amazing nursery with lovely members of staff through all age groups. Always doing something different and the menu choices (especially for children with food allergies) are the best in the area! Wouldnt send my son anywhere else.
