Charley Barley's Nursery

Charley Barley’s Nursery is an amazing nursery filled with fantastic staff. They go above and beyond in every sense. Their programming is creative, fun and filled with developmental benefits. They communicate well with parents and are very accommodating of any needs specific to your child. We moved to the area during COVID and selected Charley Barley’s online without even visiting, so it definitely felt like we were taking a big gamble… But we truly won the lottery and have been so happy with our decision that we often pinch ourselves. I’d highly recommend them to anyone considering a nursery in the area.

Totally amazing, my child has special needs and they handle him very well. Love the little nursery, will be sending my daughter there as well, my son loves the school! Lovely people, lovely school, just amazing.

I have sent both of my children to Charley Barley’s Nursery from the age of 1 through to and including pre-school and I love it there.
The nursery has always been flexible and supportive with myself, as a parent, but more importantly, my children have always been so happy. All the staff over the years have been kind, loving, nurturing and looked after my children with true care, I could not have chosen a better setting and I thank them all for looking after what’s so precious to me as I would myself.
Charley Barley’s is constantly coming up with new ideas and ways to keep the little ones entertained and learning as well as sending home ideas for us parents to do the same! A great nursery full of great people…thank you!

I couldn’t speak more highly of our experience with Charley Barley’s Nursery. For our children, it feels like a home-from-home – they adore their nursery workers and talk of them fondly. For us, as parents, we trust them implicitly – our daughter has medical needs which the nursery manages beautifully. They are responsive to concerns, they plan activities thoughtfully and my children are excited to attend. I couldn’t ask for more!

I couldn’t be happier with the nursery, we love all the staff, they are flexible when they can be and they really care for our little boy. We have nothing but good things to say. The staff are really knowledgeable and do a fantastic job.

My daughter left Charley Barley’s 4 years ago and it was the most positive and wonderful experience, so when we looked at nurseries for our son, Charley Barley’s was our number one choice!
There is something really special about Charley Barley’s and the little things they do set them apart. The warm and welcoming environment, the learning opportunities, trips to the local area, the daily feedback, the app observations, family picnics in the summer, regular parents evenings and the support they give during big life changes outside of nursery but most of all its the passionate and caring members of staff that make this nursery stand out.
My son has been cared for, encouraged and nurtured since his first day, he has grown in confidence and tells me he loves his Barley’s days!

Charley Barley’s Nursery has been an amazing nursery for our two children. The dedication that is put into this business really does show on the staff and children. The children are always happy, which is a reflection of how the nursery is run and how the children are looked after. We are updated at every moment, which is very reassuring as it’s been a difficult time for all nurseries since Covid. I would highly recommend Charley Barley’s Nursery and will be sad for my eldest to leave this year.

A fantastic nursery with great care and communication. My boy started at nine months and settled straight away, he’s now been attending for five months, and we couldn’t be happier. We get good updates on the app, and find the care diary very useful to know how his naps and eating has be throughout the day. The managers are always present and communicate well with any changes or general goings on in the nursery. All the staff, not just his key workers, know my son by name and greet and say goodbye at the end of the day, which is really lovely. While the garden isn’t massive, they seem to work it well, so he gets lots of time outdoors, and where possible, they take them on trips to the park nearby.

Our son has attended Charley Barley’s Nursery from the age of 1 and has had superb care to this date. He attends full-time and the nursery offers exceptional value for fees as it includes meals, nappies and suncream. The staff are warm, friendly and offer exceptional support to our son; he really enjoys nursery life. He has progressed so well due to their focus and interest in all of the children – they always seem to be doing something interesting every day – trips, visits to the library, the post office, local parks and playgrounds, regular yoga sessions and too many more occasions to count! If we need advice or guidance as a parent, the staff are very open and extremely supportive to offer help or support where they can. The nursery has excellent communication with parents via emails and photos/videos through the app (which is updated very regularly). We are very happy with our choice of Charley Barley’s as our nursery and couldn’t recommend the nursery more highly.

My son has attended Charley Barley’s Nursery for a couple of months now, since he was 9.5 months, and has come on leaps and bounds since he started. Before he started I was worried he was a bit behind developmentally but since starting at Charley Barley’s, he has improved dramatically, particularly with his physical development. The room staff are extremely supportive, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about each child and they provide lots of updates throughout the day about how my baby is doing, which is lovely to see when you have to be working! They really take the time to get to know the children and cater to their individual needs as much as they can. The owners also are very friendly and approachable and are always open for a chat about how my son is doing. They could definitely be forgiven for not knowing about every single child in the nursery but they also take time to know everyone to ensure all children are getting the best possible care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
