Gooseberry's have been fantastic nurturers of our daughter; she always has a jolly time and comes home smiling and happy. The staff are great and there is a clear culture of caring for the children, and supporting them (and us) at each new milestone. Thank you!

GB has lovely care staff, really effective facilities for kids, helpful office team and great comms on activities and issues. A super nursery, and have happily have sent both our kids there. It provides such a brilliant extra dynamic and education for our young ones that we can't recreate at home.

It's a brilliant nursery. The staff are really dedicated and they know the children really well. Activities and learning is really strong. Outdoor spaces are good, not huge but decent size and they also use the nearby grounds/airfield as larger outdoor activities so they make the best of the location. It's a really good experience and our kids have been so happy there.

We are so pleased with Gooseberry Bush Nursery for our daughter. She has been at the nursery since 13 months old, and she is thriving there. The staff are all attentive, full of energy and it feels a really safe and happy environment for the children. We love the outdoor space particularly, and are pleased with the activities our daughter does.

Couldn't fault Gooseberry bush at all, all of the staff in the Spikes room really care about the development and advancement of the children, they have a great bond. My son will quite often come home and show off his new skills that he learnt that day. I love how often they take the children outside, it really helps being located at an airport (we now have a plane obsessed child).

Incredible nursery. Lovely staff which understands and embraces individuality. Our daughter has been at nursery since September. Don't think twice about sending your child to Gooseberry Bush Nursery.

My little girl has been at Gooseberry Bush since she was 9 months old (now nearly 3) and has always enjoyed it. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly and they plan lovely activities for the kids (and for parents to join in on special occasions). They are very conscientious when it comes to allergies and injuries and I’m always confident she’s in good hands. I would highly recommend this nursery and am grateful we found such a good one when we moved to the area.

A fantastic nursery, with well-trained and caring staff resulting in a very positive atmosphere for the children. They are kept busy with a variety of interesting activities and supported through their learning journey from their earliest stage.

My two-year old daughter has been attending Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery (Kemble) for almost a year and we are so pleased with the level of care. The staff are so caring and enthusiastic, making sure all children are happy and settled as quickly as possible when they arrive. Parents are kept really well informed via the app, showing the varied meals and snacks provided each day, nap times and nappy changes. We love that children are presented with so many opportunities for outside play, craft activities and taken on little walks to explore beyond the setting. All of this excellent care is provided in the most safe and secure environment. Thank you Gooseberry Bush!

All of the staff show a lot of interest, compassion and care towards the children and I always feel that our two-year-old is well taken care of. The variation of activities from day to day is brilliant as well as the different meals that are served throughout the week. Most of all, I find Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery, Kemble to be extremely trustworthy and safe which puts my mind at rest knowing that he is having a wonderfully fun time in an environment he can thrive.

We are so pleased with the care at Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery. The staff are amazing and my child loves it there. They have been amazing with his food allergies, which unfortunately other nurseries cannot accommodate. I'd highly recommend them.

Our daughter currently goes to the nursery, so did her two brothers before her. All my children have loved their time at Gooseberry Bush and have thrived in their development. Each day she is happy to go into nursery and loves the staff, they take the time to get to know her and use her interests to lead her development.

Our child has been at Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery for eight months. Overall, we are very pleased with the nursery. The quality of adult care is high, which in my opinion is the only thing that really matters to a child; their bond and interaction with their adult caregivers. They keep us informed of what our child has done that day (any incidents) and are very willing to work with us around naptimes, potty training and etc. rather than imposing their own approach. The children always seem calm and happy at drop-offs and pick-ups. He has developed in confidence and communication. They go outside every day in all weathers. The facilities are not particularly photogenic, but that doesn't matter to a child. The only minor issue is that our child was moved out of the baby room very quickly without transition period (due to illness) and so he didn't settle at drop-off for months. However, the nursery were then very willing to do much more gradual transition to the next room which worked brilliantly.

Our daughter has been at Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery since the start of the Covid lockdown and we are constantly impressed and admiring of what a wonderful place they have created. We feel completely confident in their standards of care, which take a practical and reassuring approach so that we never need to question or worry about her care or their decisions. They have equipped our daughter with all the skills she needs to start school this year and meanwhile she has had the most fabulous, stable and enjoyable time here for over nearly four years. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery, it is unpretentious and bursting with staff who in our opinion are heroes. Our daughter has formed a wonderful friendship group and appears to have a very kind and relaxed approach to managing relationships, which they have nurtured. We shall be very sad to leave when our daughter goes to school this year, as the Gooseberry Bush has been our unwavering guide for all these years (and she eats everything they offer her!).

The staff at the Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery could not do more for the children in their care. My child is in the preschool class, she has come on leaps and bounds. The staff create an environment that encourages her to learn and I feel confident she will be ready for school come September thanks to their commitment to their children.

My son has recently started at Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery and I cant recommend them enough. The staff there are so friendly and have been so welcoming. I can already see a big step in his development from all the different activities they take part in each week. The app is great and allows us to see what he is getting up to throughout the day and put our minds at ease.

Brilliant nursery! They do all sorts of fun activities that keep them busy and learning new things. The staff there are so lovely and accommodating, my son comes home very happy! They keep me updated throughout the day with what he has eaten and how he has slept, which is great.

The children had great fun getting involved with so may different activities, the outside space was fantastic and the food provided was really healthy. A really lovely, caring and nurturing environment.

My daughter has attended two of the Gooseberry Bush settings and I can honestly say they are both amazing. My daughters development has come on leaps and bounds and the way they happily adapt to any child's needs is second to none. The staff are always so friendly and happy to assist in helping to ensure home routines are followed in their care. The outdoor space they have available is brilliant, with mud kitchens and all the outdoor play you could imagine. My daughter loves going to nursery! Happy child happy parent!

My son was originally at another Gooseberry Bush and then transitioned to Kemble as it was closer to us. As expected, Kemble is also of a high standard.. this was evident from their outstanding practice and quality of learning. I particularly like how informative the staff are about my son's development and I have no worries that they will prepare him ready for school. The management team are also very approachable and the children are really at the heart of everything they do. Would highly recommend it!
