    Both my boys have been to nursery and afterschool club. The nursery is very good, the ladies work really hard with the children and make them happy and safe. My sons have come on so well and learned lots to get them ready for school for all the activities they do. They care for the kids so much and will do so much more to make sure they are happy in nursery.

    After School Club is such a great help to me and my husband, I could not do without it knowing my boy is safe from walking from school to club it is a big help for us working parents and makes our life easier knowing we can trust the staff in a big way and they make the most of the small space.

    If there have been any issues staff and managers have dealt with it straight away and in a professional manner.

    I would say my children are happy and I tell friends how fabulous they are and will be sad when it’s time to leave.

    Thank you ladies, you do a great job.

    The management and organisation of this particular nursery are absolutely absurd. Incorrect or absent paperwork, no access ever given to see or evaluate my child’s learning.
    I can’t comment on what my child was learning as I didn’t see a single evaluation or assessment whilst they were there. I was told there would be a learning portal I would have access to so I could see all my child’s assessments by his assigned nursery worker. I was never given access to the portal.
    The nursery, learning staff and kitchen staff were lovely and really showed care for all the children. It’s such a shame that management was so ineffective and, quite frankly absent, that it overshadowed everyone else’s clear talent and hard work.

    Amazing nursery for my son, he has progressed so much being here and is learning new things every day! I am amazed by some of the things he has learnt. He is doing that well I plan on keeping him in nursery till statutory school age!

    My daughter absolutely loves Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Charlestown. The staff are very helpful and supportive. It offers a clean and safe environment with a lovely outdoor play area. School pick-up/drop-off service is always well organized and punctual. Highly recommended!

    The nursery is lovely and all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. My little girl loves her days at nursery and always comes out saying she’s had a good day. Not a bad word to say really. My little boy also went to this nursery about 5 years ago so I highly recommend this nursery.

    This has been a brilliant nursery for both of my children that have attended full
    time. All of the nursery workers are polite, friendly, great with children amd I couldn’t reccomend it enough. I know my girls are in safe hands when they are there.

    My little boy loves attending Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Charlestown. He gets so excited the morning he is due to attend and loves his key worker. The team are wonderful and always helpful.

    Both my boys have attended this nursery from around 9 months old, and my daughter will be going there too when I go back to work. It’s convenient for us as it’s local, and across the road from the school that my eldest now attends. We have never had any major issues with this nursery, my boys have enjoyed going there, they have a great time and always come home in a great mood. It took a while for them to settle and the staff were great, very patient and understanding. They have dealt with Covid well and professionally and I feel that my son is in safe hands there. Not to mention the fact that he eats anything and everything they put infront of him and it’s generally healthy and nutritious food, he eats so much better there than he does at home.

    My son has been attending this setting for the past 3 years. I am very happy with the care and education provided throughout. The staff really care for the children and go the extra mile. The resources provided in the setting are to a high quality and stimulate and promote learning and intrigue.

    My children are always happy in the nursery even if one of them just started couple of weeks ago. The staff makes sure they settle in very well. Lots of good activities they are doing daily. The meals are good as my children are telling me. The kids can learn and grow a lot from here.

    My daughter started here in January in the raindrops room and was very upset and didn’t settle very well, the teachers were lovely and very patient with her, a few weeks later we all saw a massive improvement. She went in with no crying, started speaking a lot more and began playing with the children, now she comes home every day talking about the stuff she has being doing and always talks about one member of staff! She loves getting up in the morning and going to nursery now. It’s a brilliant nursery, all the staff are lovely and make you feel very welcomed. I’ve also put my little boys name down to start in January! I would definitely recommend this nursery to everyone.

    Being a new mum I was very nervous about my child going to nursery, however the staff made me feel at ease, they supported me and my son whilst he settled into the baby room and I started back at work. He loves going to nursery and enjoys all the fun exciting activities they provide in the baby room. The staff are very approachable and I am given a good hand over of an evening with how he has been and what he got up to that day. I love how I can take his learning journey home when ever I ask, to share this with other family members. My son has developed so much whilst he has been in nursery and I can see that his next steps in learning are being followed and that he is well cared for.

    My grandson attends the after school club and holiday club and since September 2020 it has been well run, plenty of activities for the children to do, trips out, spa afternoon, my grandson has really enjoyed going, he has made lots of friends and it is a big help to me knowing that he is happy playing with his friends and doing lots of activities with the ladies in charge. Well done ladies and thank you so much.

    I just want to say how amazing the staff have been in the raindrop room settling in my son, he was so scared at the start, cried even mentioning nursery but they took their time to make him feel welcome and safe. Today is only his second full day after settling and he ran in, knocking on the doors shouting his key worker. They have also made me feel secure about leaving my son there, I was an emotional wreck at first, to the point I was contemplating on leaving him, now I couldn’t ask for a better nursery to have my boy! Thank you.

    Both my children have been and one is currently in breakfast club and after school club and in over the past 6 years I have never had any complaints. The staff are friendly and helpful, they keep my children entertained and happy with the hours they have them. Both my children enjoy the club and I have a peace of mind that they have happy but mostly importantly safe within the club and with the staff. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

    My little boy has settled really well into the nursery. The staff and management are lovely and have given him the patience and care he needed as a nervous starter. His key workers always have lots of information about how his day has been (for example, what he has eaten, what he’s been playing with, what his next steps are etc). I have seen a big difference in him both socially and academically. Really happy with the nursery.

    I highly recommend this nursery, as I have already done to a few friends who have then enrolled their little one here too. I have had good experiences on numerous occasions with the nursery, any questions asked get answered, any help that can be given is given, I think the nursery is organised well and the staff are very friendly and you can tell they are a tight unit as each one connect as a good team should. Coming from a customer service job myself I know being helpful and going above and beyond for people is a must and I feel this nursery does this. I couldn’t have thought of a better place for my little girl to come to, she enters with smiles and comes out even happier, the girls are all lovely and I’m so happy leaving her there while I go to work.

    My daughter has been there a month and a half and my daughter loves the nursery and staff and her friends. It is a really nice welcoming nursery and they are very polite, my daughter has come along so much since being at the nursery, they tell you all about your child’s day and her progress so I am happy with what nursery my daughter attends.

    My daughter started Brighter Beginnings Charlestown in September last year during the pandemic. I can honestly say this nursery/the staff has been the best experience for me and my daughter. I had questions/doubts, doesn’t every parent or guardian. I can assure you now Brighter Beginnings Charlestown were/is excellent. At first, my daughter screamed clung to me to the point I was crying walking out feeling bad. Raindrop staff comforted her when needed reassuring her that mummy was picking her up. Within a couple of weeks that felt like forever for me she just one day didn’t even look back at me just ran in as she says with her besties. She has good relationships with the staff in raindrop she has come on leaps and bounds. If you have questions or need advice the staff are more than happy to help. As a parent, they gave me the reassurance I needed to know that she was safe and that she was enjoying herself. I could say so much more just not enough space. Thank you for being a part of our journey.

    My son has attended this nursery since last august 2021 and he has come on in so many ways from feeding himself to playing, his speech to understanding and it’s all down to the staff at Brighter Beginnings! Especially my son’s key worker who I can not thank her enough! The staff are always there to help if I need questions answered and the kitchen staff are always very pleasant as well when you see them. Overall I do not think I can find a fault with this nursery and would highly recommend.
