February 25, 2016 at 12:00 amMy youngest son has been attending Newbury Gardens Day Nursery since June 2015. His induction into the nursery was excellent and the warm and friendly staff worked really hard to get to know him and his needs and he settled brilliantly. The daily feedback is always detailed and informative about what he has eaten, how long he has slept and the activities he has done.
The staff are ALL friendly and welcoming. I have experience of other nurseries and preschools and find the staff morale at Newbury Gardens to be exceptionally high by comparison which leads to a great bond between families and staff.
I love receiving the monthly update sheets with information on his development and the staff observations as well as their plan for the next month so we can see the progress he is making and how well the staff know him.
We really couldn’t be happier with the nursery and care he receives which is a great tribute to the Manager and the rest of the staff.

February 25, 2016 at 12:00 amA friendly, bright and colourful nursery with a great outdoor space. My little boy has been going to Newbury Gardens for two years and over that time the staff have helped his confidence to grow enormously. His speech was a little bit behind his peers and he had some wobbles socialising, but his key workers have worked very closely with us to help him blossom into a happy, chatty little boy. I can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended! 🙂

February 25, 2016 at 12:00 amBrilliant nursery, the staff are amazing my daughter has developed and learnt so much. The variety of activities and food is of high standard. The location and setting is just right. I feel comfortable that my daughter is safe having fun and I trust the staff in everything they do.

Learning is excellent. Children are really looked after well. Outside very good. Communications with parents always clear. Food is good and the nursery nurses are very professional but also lovely with children. The management is excellent. Overall I would definitely recommend this nursery

February 29, 2016 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Newbury Gardens since he was 10 months old he is now 27 months, and we’ve been delighted with our choice. The care he gets there is excellent with lots of stimulating activities, outside and inside. The staff who really seem to care.

February 29, 2016 at 12:00 amAfter viewing many of our local nurseries and preschools Newbury Gardens Day Nursery was by far my favourite, and my daughters. I instantly knew this was the place my daughter would thrive in and I was right. Not only is the nursery is itself lovely the gardens are just great for the little ones and come rain or shine or snow they get out and explore. If I ever have any questions or just want to check in all the staff are fabulous always there to help. Couldn’t ask for anything more. I feel very involved in my daughters time spent there, Love the little parties and sessions where parents can come and be a part of what they get up to and seeing what the children are getting up too. Would highly recommend to anyone .

February 29, 2016 at 12:00 amWe are very happy with the standard of care our child receives. The staff are lovely and welcoming, and a wide range of activities are offered. The gardens are fantastic. The food is lovely too. Our daughter loves it so much she never wants to leave at pick up time! I would highly recommend this nursery.

March 1, 2016 at 12:00 amA very good nursery and my son is very happy attending five days a week. Lots of activities and interaction with meals cooked on the premises. Only negative I can add is that it only opens from 8am – 6pm which can prove difficult at times, other competitors in the area open at 7:30 am – 6pm which would make things so much easier.

September 23, 2016 at 12:00 amA lovely nursery in central Newbury. The staff are fantastic with the kids and do some great activities. They even bring in external professionals in for particular activities (e.g. sports) which bring additional diversity to the day. The children sometimes go to the local park too. The nursery has a fantastic on-line system for posting pictures and videos of your child at nursery to show key milestone events. The food is good and I understand they also provide meals for their staff which I think reflects that the management care about their staff (not all nurseries do this). The staff turnover seems quite low which suggests the staff are happy. I do have experience of other nurseries and I would say that this one stands out compared to others I know. I’d like to say thank you to the staff for taking such good care of my little boy while he was at Newbury Gardens Day Nursery.

February 2, 2017 at 12:00 amGreat and friendly staff! A lot of activities for children from 6 months old. Child development report is produced regularly to parents. Daily update on how the day was sent. Encourage Healthy eating habits with a variety of fruits and vegetables included in the menu. Lovely and well-arranged garden area for outdoor activities.

February 27, 2019 at 12:00 amThe caretakers at Owls are really good and they do give us all the necessary information about our child. Secondly, all the concerns we have can be very comfortably discussed with the room leader and the culture of the nursery is very open.
On the fees, we could inform them of our holidays in advance and appropriate discount was given on our monthly fees which was very helpful.

January 28, 2020 at 12:00 amI was very sceptical when I first started dropping off my seven month old here at the nursery. But it took just two weeks worth of sessions here to put me completely at ease. My child absolutely loves the nursery. She learns so much here and has become confident at interacting with others and learning new skills due to her time here. The care here is amazing, as a mother I am completely satisfied. They make them do a range of activities and encourage them at picking up new skills. The staff are very patient and take time to interact with parents and resolve any concerns. Parental input for the child’s food and nutrition needs are given a lot of importance which was very important to me as my child was really small. Overall this is a perfectly nurturing environment and I can blindly recommend the nursery to everyone.

August 12, 2021 at 12:00 amSuch a brilliant nursery! We moved our little one across from a different nursery due to relocating and it was the best thing we did. They have really helped with the development of our daughter whether that be table manners, handwriting or more active play and we would definitely recommend Newbury Gardens Day Nursery. Sadly, our daughter is just about to start school but we will miss all the team.

March 22, 2022 at 12:00 amWe are so delighted with Newbury Gardens, my son is so happy there and comes home glowing every day. The staff are second-to-none and look after him with care, respect and kindness. They teach him good manners and to be kind to his classmates. They also make a big effort to keep us informed of his progress and of any issues. He loves the food provided and the environment is well kept and well thought through. I would 100% recommend Newbury Gardens Day Nursery and will also be sending my daughter there when I return to work. Thank you!

March 29, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been at Newbury Gardens Day Nursery for over three years now. I would not think of sending her anywhere else. Our son is joining soon despite there being other nurseries closer. The staff are fantastic and the care and support provided are outstanding. I cannot find any fault in all the time my daughter has attended.

April 15, 2022 at 12:00 amOur Son has been at Newbury Gardens Day Nursery for over 3 years. I could not imagine sending him anywhere else. The staff throughout the nursery have been absolutely amazing, and any questions or requests are answered promptly. We have nothing but praise and admiration for the care they have given to our son. He absolutely loves attending and will often talk about the members of staff and what they have done with him or the games that they have played. There is genuine care and interest in every child.
We are well informed about what the children have been doing and the staff are happy to talk through his progress. He has learnt so much during his time there and the staff have been unwavering in their kindness and support through the pandemic and all the challenges that they have faced. Not once has anything ever felt like it was too much to ask. We are eternally grateful and I will continue to recommend it without hesitation.

July 1, 2022 at 12:00 amI couldn’t have hoped for a better experience with a nursery. My son’s key person was fantastic at helping him to settle when he started in January and he has been thriving at the nursery ever since. The staff are so warm and caring, as well as always professional. It’s lovely to see the bond my son has with them. They run a great range of activities for the children. They have also been so responsible and careful in relation to my son’s allergies. I really feel that my son is being well looked after every day and that his individuality is recognised and nurtured.

March 22, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been with Newbury Gardens for just under a year. In that time, her confidence and happiness levels have grown, she loves her time at nursery, and we enjoy seeing her development through the shared photos and updates. All the staff are excellent; they know my daughter even though they work in a different room, and her key worker has formed a lovely bond with her. There are lots of activities, and she is able to spend a lot of time outside in the garden and enjoys the food. Overall, I would definitely recommend Newbury Gardens!

July 14, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery. Friendly, professional, and the children are all happy to be there too.
They provide a wide variety of fun activities for the children to entertain them, and the food is varied too.
We’ve been particularly impressed with the lady (who has now moved department) and another in the bunnies room too.

July 21, 2023 at 12:00 amNewbury Gardens Day Nursery has provided both of our children with a really caring, supportive and fun nursery experience. The staff work incredibly hard to really get to know the children and with their gentle help, we’ve seen both of our children really develop and thrive here.
