April 6, 2017 at 12:00 amI rarely write reviews except something is truly exceptional or when it is the opposite. Berkeley Gardens is a brilliant nursery and extremely well managed. The staff and in-house team go above and beyond in providing a great childcare experience (I tried two other nurseries before this). I only hope they maintain the very high standard we have now come to expect. Drop offs are guilt free. Door policy with camera before opening is brilliant. The food, healthy and fresh. The fussiest eater will try. Nappies wipes included. My child’s key person is truly phenomenal. Not phoney or fake nice. Toys, outdoor space are a child’s dream come true. My feedback and concerns feel valued. Without looking like a paid reviewer (I’m just very demanding like most parents), if you are looking for a nursery for a very loved little one and not just any will do, then look no further. You will not regret it. One thing, it is not cheap. It is very good value (think a really good Waitrose) which is miles better than cheap.

April 6, 2017 at 12:00 amExcellent and flexible day nursery with super friendly staff. My 17 month old has been attending since January 2017 and really enjoys himself there.
I have been impressed with the range of activities he does and that he has been taught to feed himself by his key worker.

April 6, 2017 at 12:00 amMy son attended the nursery from 2016 – March 2017 and unfortunately, due to work and future plans we had to relocate to Farnborough.
I have to say, without doubt, this is the best nursery by far and trust me when I say this because I have tried other 3 places before they had space for my son.
I just really wish I could take them with me.
The staffs are exceptionally awesome in the way they take care of the children and all the activities they filled in all week.
The morning cuddles and evening updates. Amazing place and hardworking people.
My son has learned a lot and made lots of friends that he is already missing.

January 24, 2020 at 12:00 amReally happy with the level of care for my son at this nursery. Ever since he started he settled in really well and he enjoys going. As a parent, they have put me at ease to leave him the whole day whilst I’m at work. Highly recommended!

March 6, 2020 at 12:00 amI can not recommend Berkeley Gardens Day Nursery enough. It has been fabulous for my son’s development and social skills. There are so many activities on offer each day and also French lessons and Wiggle-Waggle dancing.
The staff are amazing and they are very good at providing regular feedback and updates.
My son loves going to nursery, which is a huge relief in the mornings when I drop him off. He doesn’t even say goodbye to me!

August 10, 2021 at 12:00 amThis is an exceptional nursery, taking quite fantastic care of our two children’s mental and physical development. Where there are issues with, for example, our children’s behaviour, the nursery takes significant time to explain them to us and helps us to work through them with the child. I can’t recommend us nursery highly enough. It has transformed the lives of our children.

August 10, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth our children are with Berkeley Gardens Day Nursery and they have been happy and fulfilled there from day one. Even our baby who was born in lockdown immediately took to the warm, welcoming and highly competent carers he was placed with there. The nursery have supported us with our eldest who is showing signs of autism and their care and support has made both him and us more confident. We’ve moved across town but still bring the children here because we know they will get the best care from the best people. Highly recommend.

June 12, 2023 at 12:00 amThis nursery is beyond words. It is such a pleasure to talk to the staff and my daughter is so happy to go there! the pictures and videos they have from each time my daughter goes show how much effort they go through to ensure the children are safe and happy.
I have on occasion needed the nursery’s help with various things and they are very accommodating.
The fact that my daughter spent very little time getting used to the nursery speaks for itself. I’m so grateful for their help, as a mother it just brings some relief knowing that I’m dropping my child to a place she loves.
The best nursery in locally.

June 12, 2023 at 12:00 amOur boy has been in Dragonflies for 18 months and he loves it he has learnt so much from being there made loads of great friends and the staff look after them all so well.
We are so glad he got to spend his years before school there and we are going to miss him being there a lot.

June 14, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been with the nursery since she was 13 months started when Covid hit and the nursery has always been great to keep you up to date with their day with photos and written-up dates.
They have extra weekly activities like wiggle waggle my daughter loves dancing each week and learning new routines.
The staff are great and always have time to talk if you need them it feels like a family-run nursery. They have a great outdoor space which they use as much as they can which is great for all the children to explore.
We are sad to be leaving the nursery in August to begin school but the memories and friends my daughter made in her early years have been amazing.
Would recommend to anyone to send their children here.
