St Bernards Day Nursery Ltd

Both my boys who are two and a half years and nine and a half months old go to St Bernards Day Nursery Ltd and they are loving it. It took them a very short time to settle in. I was worried when my younger son was supposed to start going as he was only eight months but after a week he was smiling at me when leaving him with Aunties. My older boy would like to go to play there on the weekends too, only if he could. They do lots of messy play which the kids love. We could never do it at home that much. My older son was potty trained by Aunties with great care and smart strategies, as he refused to do it at home for a long time. Aunties are always helpful with any questions we may have. They post daily with what the kids have been doing whilst there and always respond promptly on any questions we may have. They eat five meals a day, freshly prepared at nursery and the kids eat it all, this is unlikely when at home, although it might be my cooking. I would more than gladly recommend St Bernards Day Nursery Ltd to everyone!

From the moment our son attended around his 1st birthday, his development week on week was noticeable. He formed good relationships with so many of the staff and always leaves with a smile on his face. The staff are always on hand to support him with anything regarding his development and have been especially helpful with his potty training recently.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend St Bernards to anybody looking for a safe, happy, healthy and educational setting to place their child.

St Bernard’s is a fantastic nursery. The staff are amazing and really love their jobs. They take so much care and attention to each child. Our son has learnt so much over the past 3-years being there. we’ll be so sad when he has to leave to go to school.

St Bernard’s has been incredible, especially so during the unknown and ever-changing Government rules of Covid. We couldn’t be happier with the care and can’t wait for our 2nd child to start here too. We get daily updates about what our child has been up to while in the nursery, which is always lovely to see. Their activities are mostly topic-focused for a day so they get to experience a range of different games and crafts. I highly recommend them, though they do have a waiting list, so best to get a request in sooner rather than later.

St Bernards Day Nursery is the most amazing nursery! We looked around five locally, but nowhere else gave us that ‘this is the one’ feeling like St Bernards did. Our oldest daughter attended from 11-months to starting school in 2020, and our youngest daughter has attended for the last 10-months. The staff are fantastic, caring, passionate, and they always have time for the children. It’s a real home from home. They supported the children brilliantly through the pandemic, opened up for keyworker families from other local nurseries, and they’ve also gone above and beyond when needed, especially when our family were struck by tragedy. They are an extension of your family, and we feel sad just thinking about the time when our daughter leaves to start school. We have no hesitation in recommending St Bernards and always do when somebody asks.

Being a first time Mum to a premature baby, I was quite nervous about leaving my child with anyone, but all the staff at St Bernard’s have been amazing. They have really listened to my concerns about his health and the ongoing medication my son has to take. I love that they give me an update every evening, and then when I get home, I get to see what he’s been up to on their parents’ app. The nursery is very spacious for the children to learn and grow and has a lovely outside area for them to play in and get some fresh air. All the staff are lovely and friendly. I wouldn’t send my son anywhere else.

I could not be happier with this nursery and am so glad I ‘shopped around’ to find it. It was worth the wait for a place! Despite only attending one morning a week, my daughter has a lovely relationship with her key worker and is always so happy to see her when we drop her off. I’m always amazed at how many activities are crammed into a morning. They really play to children’s interests, like playing with babies when my daughter’s little brother was born, and she often brings home things she’s made. We get optional monthly suggestions for activities to do at home, including age-appropriate learning objectives, which I think is really helpful, and it’s nice to link home and nursery. Parents are regularly invited in for seasonal events at weekends, which feels really over and above; we get daily app summaries and a ‘parents evening’ coming up too. The manager was really helpful when I was having trouble with her sleeping at home too – again, over and above! I’d recommend it to anyone!

We are first-time parents and weren’t sure what to expect from a nursery. We instantly felt welcomed when we viewed the nursery as it has such a homely feel. The team at St Bernard’s are absolutely fantastic and really put us at ease. They are really informative and keep us updated on our child’s day; it’s always lovely to see what she has been up to whilst we are both working. We noticed such a difference in our child’s development within the first month of attending the nursery. I would highly recommend St Bernard’s.

I think it’s really difficult to beat them; they are really great! I’ve got two sons, one at preschool full time and a younger one in the baby room who attends only a few hours every week. Both of them are enjoying it! They don’t just keep them safe when parents go to work, but they educate them, entertain them and help them grow to become better. Particularly the older one who spends more time there, he’s having the time of his life at St Bernards! He’s learning a lot too.
The staff are great, they have lots of activities every day and although it’s always fun, what amazes me is that it’s also organised, the children participate, and it’s evident that the staff have good control of what’s happening. This year they went for walks and visited a farm too. They have cooking sessions (my son loves that); they have a Spanish teacher teaching them Spanish and a sports teacher. I am also grateful for making a big effort to meet our dietary requirements for both children.

My child has been going to St Bernard’s for almost a year now. All the staff are excellent and child focussed. The nursery is always clean and well kept. Activities and rooms are bright, accommodating and engaging for the children. The outside area is a real hit with my little one- who loves exploring! I love being able to go in and pick up my daughter in an evening and seeing her fully engaged with adults and peers. We have been invited for parents evenings and Mother’s Day celebrations which is a lovely bonus. My child is vegetarian and the meals are a fantastic variety, catered to her needs. I couldn’t be happier with sending my daughter here and would always recommend it to others.
