What Parents Love About Us

A D

Father of Child

Our daughter is so happy with everything in this nursery. We never had any important issues with them. Even though we moved to another town, we kept our daughter in the same nursery not to change her friends and staff she knows. Thanks to everyone for contributing to our daughter.

Mother of Child

Babblebrooke Day Nursery is a very good nursery, the staff are excellent, they have a large variety of activities for children, the food menu is diverse. Since she attended Babblebrooke, my daughter learned so many things, she is always happy and content to be there. I would highly recommend this nursery.

S F

Father of Child

My daughter has been going to Babblebrooke for the best part of a year now. When she started the nursery there were a few changes, a new manager and new staff had just started. All of the staff are so professional and have an amazing touch with the children. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds in the year she has been there. Her key worker has built an amazing friendship with her and it shows in the way she learns and conducts herself. I wax lyrical about everything the staff do but the best thing I could say is that I do not regret bringing my daughter here and wish she could’ve been here with this team for longer. Keep up the good work ladies you are amazing.

Mother of Child

Our daughter has been attending Babblebrooke Nursery since June 2022 and we've always felt she has a great experience with the key workers, all staff and friends. They make the time at nursery very engaging for her and she gains many social skills from being around kids her age. It's been great to see her thrive through the rooms (baby room, toddler room and currently in pre-school). The key workers in preschool are especially amazing with the activities they set up and the forward-thinking ways they encourage development and play. There's always an opportunity to learn! We are very pleased overall and would recommend Babblebrooke to anyone thinking of sending their child.

My daughter attends the nursery 3 days a week in the toddler room and always comes out with a smile on her face. The staff there are great and my daughter has a great connection with her keyworkers. We are also sending our 9-month-old there next month.

Mother of Child

My child has settled really well, the staff are very professional and friendly, they pay a lot of attention to the child’s development and will often contact me to discuss anything related, they reply to messages quickly and will update me if I need anything. I noticed a few things have improved from last year which is great as a parent it gives me relief they are working on getting better and better each day and my child is in a safe and looked-after environment.

I am so grateful for this nursery, my son has attended here for 2 years and is currently in preschool he has additional SEN needs and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for the way he is cared for by the staff at Babblebrooke, especially his key worker, she is so good with my son he loves her she has helped him so much with his speech delay and developmental delay and since joining Babblebrooke he has progressed to a level I never thought he would. I can’t rate this nursery high enough it’s lovely and clean and the children always look happy and content and the staff are lovely always on hand with any queries or parenting advice. Thankyou Babblebrooke!

Babblebrook is a fabulous nursery - my daughter is in the toddler room and they’ve been great in helping with her speech development. She now spends the car journey home telling me about her day! The staff are all so polite and seem genuinely happy to be there, and the updates and photographs are a great touch!
