We have two children at Combe Down - one who is just about to start school and another who has been attending for just over a year. We could not be happier with how well our little ones are taken care of, and how much they have blossomed since attending. Our eldest has some Special Educational Needs, and the support that Combe Down has provided has been invaluable. We have also found the nursery to be very accommodating e.g. schedule changes, and ad hoc arrangements (extra sessions, etc) - which was not the case at a previous nursery. Overall this is a wonderful place, our children are so happy to be dropped off each morning and we know they are in good hands.

Our daughter has had a lovely time at Combe Down Nursery and has made good progress. We have found all the staff to be kind, caring, helpful and friendly. They encourage good behaviour from children and plan fun activities. We have only ever heard good reports from our daughter about the things that she has done and the interactions she's had with staff and children. We feel that our daughter has been safe and happy within this establishment and would recommend Combe Down to other parents.

I have two daughters at Combe Down Nursery, one in the baby room and one in pre-school. My youngest has always been really happy at drop off and is thriving; she even dropped her afternoon breast milk almost immediately. The staff genuinely seem to enjoy her and are invested in her development. Communication with home is excellent. My eldest took longer to settle, as is her nature. The staff were patient with her and welcoming. Luckily she is a talker so I get to hear all about the strategies they have put in place to make her feel better, the friends she has made, the activities she does and the songs she learns. She regularly tells me about members of staff, how they help her, their hobbies and families etc. which is testament to the good relationships they have clearly built with her. She loves going out to forest school and is so proud of the crafts she brings home (which is a lot!). Food is cooked on site - my eldest has told me all about the chef. Happy children = happy mummy!

My son started at Combe Down nursery in the baby room and is now in the preschool room and preparing for school. The staff at the nursery are nothing short of outstanding; from the management and carer team to the in-house chef. My son has needed a lot of extra help over the last year and not only have the team provided the support, they have gone the extra mile in creating their own resources, teaching Makaton and keeping us regularly updated with his progress. My son loves the nursery and always looks forward to going and made some strong friendships bonds too. He will be so sad to leave. I cannot speak highly enough of the team.

The nursery is amazing the staff are very welcoming and professional, my child started in baby room and is now in toddler room. She really enjoys coming in and always comes out with a smile on her face, she has always done different activities such as painting cooking and messy play plus she really likes the food and eats it all. Would recommend this nursery to anybody who is looking for a setting for their child.

The nursery is fantastic. The staff are very professional and are extremely caring. We feel like they know us and our son very well and they know exactly how to care for him. This is reflected in the settling in process, where it did not take him long to settle in. We would recommend the nursery to everyone. We really like the way they also have lots of extra events - they really go the extra mile.

The management has been and continues to be very considerate, helpful and supportive towards us as a family. My child enjoys his time at nursery and is a big fan of the food.

My daughter has developed quite quickly since she has attended the nursery. She is happy to go to nursery every day and she loves most of the activities she gets involved in. Her English has also improved hugely. I think the nursery is very well organised and kids do lots of educational activities while playing different games and enjoying them.

My daughter really enjoys attending the nursery. All the team are excellent and friendly and they all know her name. There's a good range of activities throughout the week. We like the size of the nursery and hope it will stay relatively small. The holiday times are great as they get to venture further afield with smaller groups.

Excellent provision from a friendly and dedicated team. Management was previously poor and there were inconsistencies with staffing, however since new leadership has come in, the team appears much happier and united. My child loves going to nursery and I feel confident sending her there.

Overall, this is a lovely nursery, with friendly, helpful staff. Lots of interesting activities for the children and a lovely garden. Recent building work means the pre-school room is fab and am sure the continued works will improve the whole nursery. It could be made more clear what the children eat eg. changing the menus each term and sending menus in advance to parents. A better hand-over at end of day also useful, but minor points.
