Both my children attend this nursery and they have learned and experienced a lot, the staff are amazing and have always taught the children everything to prepare them for school.
The children always enjoy going to school and have lots to talk about at the end of nursery days.

My daughter has been at Country Day Nurseries since she was 1 and started in Snowdrops class. She is now 3 and has moved up through all the classes into Big Acorns. In every class, she has been nurtured and loved by amazing teachers that truly care about our children. She loves going to nursery and
we love knowing that every day she is in great hands. Baby number 2 will be joining too when the time comes.

My little boy started at this nursery at 15-months-old in September 2021, he started off as a shy little man, however, in the space of just a few months he has come on so much, he’s now such a chatterbox which is just amazing to see.
With him being a lockdown baby I was so worried about leaving him
somewhere new and with new people, as I hadn’t done this due to the numerous lockdowns, however, the staff put me at ease and continue to do so. I highly recommend this nursery for your little ones, they truly are just amazing staff, they have amazing grounds for the little ones to explore and the activities they do with the children are great. I love that we also get weekly updates on the app. Thank you Country Day Nursery for everything.

I am so happy with this nursery and my son absolutely loves going. I find all the staff so lovely and engaged and they go over and above to make every child feel valued. The setting is perfect for kids to play outdoors and learn about nature and run off their energy. We've moved through all the rooms
and they've been fantastic at every stage, my son adores the friends he's made and all his teachers, and his learning and development has exceeded all expectations.

Country Day Nurseries has been a fantastic nursery for our family. The support our children have received over the years has been wonderful and their growth and development has been really enjoyable to watch across all rooms of the nursery. I really can not fault the staff, from the welcome we receive
in the morning to the range of activities and resources they offer and also simply the care they show towards each child as an individual. The setting is beautiful and provides such an ideal mix of indoor and outdoor learning, the children have very regular use of the secure woodland space and also the individual garden areas which was a very important factor for us when choosing a nursery setting - something more than just a small garden. Lots of happy memories and friendships have been made here! Highly recommended by us.

What a special place Country Day Nursery is. If you are looking for a nursery that offers plenty of outdoor space for your child to explore, a caring and supportive learning environment, healthy and nutritious home-cooked meals and a place where your child will be excited to attend then look no further.
Country Day Nursery offers all of this and more and we cannot thank the staff enough for their care and support for our child. You really will be leaving your child in the best of care.

I have used this nursery with both my children and could not fault it. In what has been a hugely disruptive year, the flexibility that was afforded to us as a dual key-working family was brilliant. Additionally, the care and attention that my son received meant that he has viewed this year’s changes
as exciting and fun rather than unsettling. As a military family, we are also very pleased with the value of the childcare. A discount is offered which has been invaluable to us. Overall the staff have been wonderful, the setting is beautiful and continues to evolve and improve. We have had no complaints in 6 years!

From the first moments walking around Country Day Nursery, I knew it would be the one for our daughter. The staff were welcoming and smiley. The sensory room is lovely for little ones and I love their ethos of taking the babies outside into the gardens daily. My daughter hadn’t been looked after by
anyone else until she started nursery. But the ladies in Snowdrops welcomed her with open arms and she settled quickly because of their love and care. Our baby has come on leaps and bounds since starting, she is now a confident toddler. Thank you, we appreciate everything you all do for her.

Country Day is a lovely, friendly and happy place, where our two boys are excited to go each time. The setting is wonderful with safe, wide outdoor spaces. There are four rooms across the nursery which children progress through as they grow.

My son has been attending the Nursery since July this year and he absolutely loves it. Every day he comes home excited to tell us about his day and how much he loves the staff there. The nursery is such a lovely location with woods right on their doorstep. The staff are so lovely and easy to talk to
which makes me feel comfortable and trust them leaving my son there.

Country Day Nursery is absolutely brilliant. The staff are all so lovely and welcoming. My son started in January this year, he loves every minute. They do so many activities and he has progressed so much in such a short space of time since going.

My little one started in September and after not seeing many people due to the current pandemic he was quite wary of new people. He is now into his second month and he loves it. He looks forward to going and I’m always greeted with a huge smile when I pick him up. The staff are so lovely and always
update me on his day when I pick him up. The location is wonderful with a beautiful old building surrounded by secure woods. He loves being outside and I know he gets to play a lot outside so he’s very happy. Country Day Nurseries have most certainly made this huge decision (to start him at nursery) one which I am so pleased to have made. Thank you so very much.

Our son started Country Day the beginning of September and he has settled in really well. Being my 1st child I was naturally anxious about leaving him, but the friendly staff made it so easy for us. We chose Country Day due to the location and the lovely grounds they have, we really like the outdoor
approach they offer as our son loves being outside exploring in all weathers! The menu offers a wonderful variety of different foods which our son loves and even has seconds on some days!
We would highly recommend Country Day and are very happy with our choice of nursery especially when drop offs and pick ups are greeted with lovely kind staff and a very content child!

Both my boys go to this nursery after we switched from another Andover based company. Our eldest (almost 3) loves the grounds, bikes and of course the pirate ship. He has improved in his sharing and controlling his emotions. He is thriving here. Our youngest (almost 1) like most babies his ages lacked
the engagement with other adults and children Due to COVID-19. He just loves his group and staff who he now smiles at every time and on top of that eats, eats and eats some more.
I have already recommended this nursery to a friend who has switched and more friends joining in the new year, which goes to show how good its reputation is.

I have 2 children that attend the nursery the staff have been fantastic I’ve found them all very kind and help helpful. My two children settled in so quickly and both love attending which makes drop off so easy. The nursery is in a beautiful setting with lots of outdoor space to explore. I’m so happy
with how they have progressed since joining the nursery. They keep you up to date with picture and videos of what the children have been up to which is great as I can see by their faces how much fun they are having. The food menu is amazing - both my kids enjoy the food and most days have seconds. I would recommend Country Day to all.

I’m really very happy with our choice of nursery for my son, who started at Country Day at 10 months old and is now approaching two and goes happily to nursery three days a week. As my first child, I was understandably anxious to leave him in an unfamiliar setting but the staff at Country Day couldn’t
have made me feel more at ease. Not only is the setting beautiful, but it is the staff members that I’ve met to date that make this a really special find. My son’s development has come on leaps and bounds in his year at Country Day and the staff keep us informed of all activities and any special milestones via an interactive platform. I would recommend Country Day to all. It’s been a lovely place for my son to spend these early years!

Since day 1 from when my son started at Country Day Nursery, the staff have been so warm and welcoming not just to me but with my son too. Everything has been really clear from the start. Like all kids, he struggled the first few days settling in but 4 weeks in at 2 days a week and he’s absolutely loving
it there, settling in so well. The range of food they have on the menu is brilliant. I love the fact they have so much outdoor space for the children to play in as well. Would recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter has just joined the Nursery in the Big Acorns room as of August 2019, the team have been so welcoming to her and she absolutely loves going! The food the nursery provide is amazing, my daughter definitely eats better than me!
Nothing is ever a problem and the nursery are very accommodating.
I have had no issues so far and feel that if I did, I could speak to any member of the team.


My daughter's favourite part of the nursery if the Woodland playground!

I have 2 children in the nursery and they are both well settled and comfortable with the staff so drop off times are stress-free. They have been there for 9 months and the change in both of them is wonderful. Our son has additional needs, and we receive outstanding support from the nursery with this.
They have helped us to find new ways and new people to aid in his development and it's starting to pay off.
The setting itself is brilliant, the outdoor spaces are fantastic with our children thoroughly enjoying all of the exploration possibilities. This is one of the main reasons we chose this nursery. The facilities inside are also amazing, the toys and activities are endless. Our children love spending time in their sensory room.
The menu is fantastic, the children try new things that they wouldn't normally try at home and the nursery has been very accommodating for any dietary requirements. The staff at the nursery really are second to none, can't say enough about them! Fantastic!!

The nursery has changed so much over the last few years and all for the better. There are so many opportunities for the kids to explore outside, my daughter loves the pirate ship and the wooded areas. They go outside whatever the weather and indoors have a huge variety of activities to keep them busy.
The most important thing to me though is how much my daughter loves the staff. She has her favourites naturally but the staff have all taken the time to get to know her. We're very happy with the nursery and have recommended it to others.
