December 7, 2018 at 12:00 amBrabyns has given my daughter the best possible start to her schooling life. The teachers are wonderful and she has improved in all areas from starting there. They have the care factor which you don’t get in all nurseries. Would recommend highly.

December 14, 2018 at 12:00 amThe entire staff are very welcoming and ensure they know each child as individuals to encourage their interests and development. The warm friendly fun atmosphere is a wonderful foundation for all the wide variety of activities undertaken.

February 11, 2019 at 12:00 amThis doesn’t really have the feel of a nursery – it’s more like a very small school.
I just love the way the children wear a uniform and all look so very smart.
The small number of children and high number of staff make it feel like a big family and all the children know each other and the teachers really well. Every weekend there is a birthday party and everyone is invited. The head knows every child by name.
The level of learning is high and the children have a wonderful mix of subjects and playtime.
There are school plays and nativity plays and the older children in school have time to mix and buddy up with the smaller ones to read.
Having visited many other nurseries when searching for ‘the one’ I just knew this worked for us and I’d highly recommend it to anyone.

February 14, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son started in November after just turning two years old. The nursery teacher and her team welcome my son every morning with beautiful smiles, ensuring he always feels welcomed. This is so important as it shows they genuinely care and want my son to feel part of the nursery. All the staff take the time to speak to me and ask questions relevant to the developmental progress of my child.
I feel comfortable communicating any concerns and I value their feedback and advise. I look forward to watching my son blossom in this caring, nurturing environment whist maximising his potential at the same time.

March 22, 2019 at 12:00 amMuch more than your everyday ‘Private Day Care Nursery’.
My little boy is 2.5 years old and has excelled in all areas since starting Brabyns.
Not only is the standard of teaching outstanding, the staff look after each and every pupil in such a nurturing way.
The staff take a genuine interest in each child, they are warm, welcoming, friendly.
My little boy gets cuddles off the teachers every day.
He loves it here.

March 22, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter absolutely loves going into kindergarten every day. The staff are all wonderful. They really get to know each individual child, which was very important to me.

March 22, 2019 at 12:00 amFantastic. My children have flourished at Brabyns Preparatory School, Spanish lessons being their particular favourite. All of the team are adept at quickly identifying the right amount of nurture and challenge needed by each child. Warm, fun and friendly. Top class!

July 10, 2020 at 12:00 amBrabyns nursery gives children the best start. The setting is wonderful, resources are updated frequently, the staff are best in class and where relevant (kindergarten) the education is superb – a winning formula!
Without a doubt, the best in Marple and the surrounding area.

November 24, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter has attended Brabyns nursery for almost a year now since we moved to the area and she has thrived and grown so much during her time there. She is naturally quite shy but in recent months she has grown in confidence, likes to regularly chat about her friends and teachers and what she has done at nursery. We have been nothing but impressed with Brabyns and look forward to sending our younger daughter in February.

November 24, 2020 at 12:00 amBrabyns is a fantastic school and nursery with wonderful staff!
It has such a warm, friendly, family feel which was one of our primary reasons for choosing it. The staff really took the time to get to know our daughter and as such, she settled in really quickly.
The children have access to so many lovely activities and our daughter is always so excited to go to “her school.” Communication is also fantastic and means we get a glimpse into the wonderful time she is having there.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anybody.

November 24, 2020 at 12:00 amWhat an amazing nursery, I could not recommend it more! The staff are excellent, my son has progressed so much in the short amount of time he has been here.
The staff are so loving towards my child and very reassuring. I feel my child is in very safe hands when he goes into nursery and I know he is very much cared for by all the staff here.

November 30, 2020 at 12:00 amWe have been sending our child to Brabyns since September 2020 and have been extremely impressed so far – this isn’t your average nursery – in particular,
+ Facilities and specialist teaching: As the nursery is attached to the primary school it can take advantage of all the facilities and specialist teaching (e.g., Spanish, Music, Dance) This is a real bonus!
+ Staff: Each and every one of the staff: both within the classroom and out – really strive to get to know the child. This was evident right from before our child joined the school and has continued ever since.
+ Differentiation: As a result of knowing each child they always look for the appropriate learning opportunities for the child – stretching them or supporting them as required.
+ Communication: This is fantastic – there are multiple channels to ensure there is an active dialogue so that we as parents can continue to support the learning at home.
Overall we have been very pleased and highly recommend Brabyns to other parents.

November 30, 2020 at 12:00 amMy little boy has had such a lovely gentle start to his school life at Brabyns kindergarten under the care of exceptional staff.
He struggled leaving me at first, as he had never been to a nursery or childminder in the past, but the teachers persevered with such kindness and patience they very soon won him over and he now loves it!
They have been outstanding with his food allergies too. I was astonished to be approached by the catering staff to have the opportunity to speak in more detail about this and his preferences.
I feel my little boy is very well cared for in a loving, family environment by dedicated staff who are so incredibly hard working. Queries are swiftly answered, along with a huge provision of resources and feedback to further support learning at home. Academically I’m very impressed too. The teachers enthuse him to learn and he is progressing well. The days are varied and fun and have the benefit of music/performing arts with a specialist teacher, which he loves.

May 28, 2021 at 12:00 amWe could not have hoped for our son to have had a more perfect, well-rounded experience. The environment and teaching schedule are marvellously holistic, engineered and adapted to fit in with the children’s needs, interests and passions, and much more besides! The staff; gentle, and experienced have given him a well-rounded start to his education, a wonderful budding confidence in his own abilities and a healthy curiosity of learning. When it became apparent that our son has some additional needs, the support offered by school and their SENCO but particularly two nursery teachers have been amazing. They reassured and supported us all, throughout the process. They know our son down to a tee and so was easy for them to understand our son’s needs, and even offer some suggestions for us to try at home on top of recommending some brilliant specialists to refer him to. The speed and professionalism in which strategies were implemented and put in place are second to none.

February 25, 2022 at 12:00 amHighly recommend – a brilliant preschool in every way. The teachers are so amazing with the children and you can see this with how much the children love them. My child has come on so much after joining Brabyns as the 1-1 care is so fantastic.

December 13, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my daughters have attended this nursery and thrived in the setting! The staff are caring, attentive and focused on building the foundations needed for children to succeed in later years. My children always came home with lots of exciting stories about all the fun activities they had done during the day. I could not recommend the team and nursery enough!

December 13, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughters have both attended the nursery. The level of care, love and focus is amazing. The staff show a genuine passion for their development and regularly seek you out to discuss this. Constant pictures and videos via the app, which is great, not to mention an interest in their development at home. The head of early years and kindergarten teacher and three other staff members, in particular, have all been fantastic. I would absolutely recommend the nursery.

December 13, 2022 at 12:00 amBrabyns Nursery is a lovely setting. All of the staff are so friendly, caring and helpful. Both of my children have thoroughly enjoyed their time in the nursery. A great beginning to their educational journey.

December 13, 2022 at 12:00 amBrabyns prep has been absolutely amazing with my 2-year-old daughter. She’s completely come out of her shell since she started. As a lockdown baby, she was very shy and unsure of others. However, she’s extremely confident and happy to play and be around other people now without being shy. The teachers are just so lovely and have the time to talk to you. Make effort with each individual and ensure a kind, loving nature is still given with education. The whole school and staff are really lovely and very understanding. I’m extremely grateful to all the staff for their support in bringing my daughter out of her shell.
Thanks, Brabyns.
