I was very nervous about starting my son in nursery but the team at Poppies made me feel at ease. Communication is fab, love seeing the photos of my son's day. When we go to pick him up, he is happy and smiley, which is lovely to see.

My child has been at Poppies for just over 2 years now and we absolutely love it. He wants to go in even at the weekends and knowing he's happy and flourishing in such a homely, warm environment is so reassuring for me. The staff are all amazing, he's gone all the way through from the baby room up to
pre-school and he's had a great relationship with the staff in each room! I literally don't have a negative thing to say about Poppies!

One of my children currently attends Poppies Day Nursery, he started late as he's pre-verbal so have been very worried about sending him to nursery, however, Poppies Day Nursery has set my mind at ease with friendly staff that are happy to chat about his day and answer any questions, they have 2 apps
1 to tell me about his day and another with pictures of my child and they are teaching him signing so he can use signs to express what he wants or need. He's very happy and has come such a long way, I highly recommended.

My sons have been going to the nursery for a year now. They absolutely love it. We had a negative experience with childminders and fortunately found Poppies. They are kept busy, learn lots of things and have plenty of outdoor activities. They love the food as well. Most importantly, all the staff are
friendly and respectful, they get to know your children and care for them.

We have loved Poppies Nursery from the day we looked around. All the staff make you feel so welcome and at ease. Leaving the twins for the first time at 10 months old was daunting but I couldn't thank the staff enough for making it such a stress-free experience. 6 months later and we are still yet to
have a wobbly drop-off, I put this down to the brilliant staff with their warming nature creating such a loving and calm environment. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

I decided to remove my son from his previous nursery due to a bad experience, once I found poppies I knew this was the right fit for us as a family. The staff are incredible and the building is absolutely beautiful. Management is friendly and very approachable and makes the settling-in process incredibly
smooth. I could not be happier with poppies my son is absolutely thriving and I can't thank the staff enough!

Our daughter started at Poppies in Aldershot when she was just 22 months old and stayed for exactly a year until our recent relocation. This was her first nursery experience, and we couldn't have asked for a more nurturing, supportive environment. She absolutely loved her time there and still talks
about how much she misses it and wants to go back.
All the staff went above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming space, making her feel safe, happy, and engaged every day.
We are so grateful for all the wonderful memories and the solid foundation you provided. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and professional place for their child to thrive.
Having the app to keep track of their daily activities was a bonus plus photos. Thank you for everything!

My child started at Poppies Day Nursery a few months ago, and it has been an excellent experience. The staff are warm and welcoming, and they genuinely care about each child. My little one has settled in beautifully and is always excited to go to nursery in the mornings.
The facilities are clean and
well-equipped, and there is a wide range of activities for children to enjoy. The outdoor space is also great, and my child loves spending time there.
I have been particularly impressed with the communication from the staff. They keep me updated on my child's day, and they are always happy to answer any questions I have.
I would highly recommend Poppies Day Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and fun environment for their child.

My daughter has been at Poppies for 2.5 years now and the difference in her is unbelievable. The atmosphere and space they provide for my daughter to learn and grow each day is brilliant and the way she comes home telling me about her day with the biggest smile on her face is something I'll be forever
grateful for.
Brilliant staff. Brilliant nursery.

My son has loved his time at Poppies. The team there are so nurturing and caring, that it feels like one big family. When my son started, he was very unsure of his new environment, but one staff member in particular would always be there for cuddles and that caring response that a mother would give
in that situation and I can't ask for more, i know his emotional needs were always taken care of. The staff do a variety of activities and my child always talks about what they have done that day. We're sad to say goodbye and start school, but I think my son is well prepared under the guidance that Poppies have given. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.

I could not imagine a better place for my daughter. The staff is amazing and really goes above and beyond to help my daughter feel safe and learn English (she was only 2 months in the UK and for the first time without mummy). This adaptation time went really well as after a few weeks my daughter was
asking even for more days at nursery. She always came out very happy and I knew that she had a good day. It was such a relief, as it was as hard for us parents as for her. The director/manager was responding to any emails or requests. It is just a fantastic place for children to be almost like a second home. We highly recommend Poppies Day Nursery to anyone looking for a caring and reliable childcare provider. Thank all of you, for making this first contact with the outside world of my daughter such a great experience.

We had such a wonderful experience at Poppies Day Nursery! The staff were amazing and really went above and beyond to make our daughter feel comfortable and happy during her time there. We were also really impressed with the flexibility of the nursery, which allowed us to schedule appointments and pick-ups
that worked for our busy schedule. We appreciated the low cancellation rate, which meant that we could rely on Poppies to always be there for us when we needed them.
One thing that really stood out to us was how well the staff considered our daughter's special requirements. They made sure that her birthday was a special and memorable day by planning activities that she would enjoy and ensuring that she felt included in the celebrations. It really meant a lot to us as parents to see how much care and attention the staff put into making her day a happy one.
Overall, we would highly recommend Poppies Day Nursery to anyone looking for a caring and reliable childcare provider.

One of the best nurseries around the area. Very professional and friendly staff. Specially, Trisha and Carly. Great thoughtful setup, " The Curiosity Approach" for early learning and skills development. My child cannot stop talking about how much fun nursery is. Highly recommend anyone who is seeking

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for Poppies Day Nursery Aldershot is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.920 for Poppies Day Nursery Aldershot is calculated as follows: ( (211 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.92

  • 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 Poppies Day Nursery Aldershot is based on 19 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 19 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.
