November 8, 2019 at 12:00 amOur daughters joined Atelier shortly after the Chippenham nursery opened. Their previous nursery was fine but it was obvious from the outset that Atelier was a cut above average.
The building and garden are great and the management are obviously well-organised and proactive. However the most important factor is obviously the staff. We were interested to note the rigorous selection and trialling of key workers when the nursery opened. It was worth it – the staff are organised, imaginative, energetic and positive.
We were initially slightly sceptical about the “free-flow” approach but have since become converts given it’s applied so well. We still don’t really “get” some of the Atelier terminology or theory employed but it clearly works really well. So our quibbles have proved wrong!
Atelier is slightly more expensive than average but both our children have been very happy and we have always had 100% confidence in the staff.

November 8, 2019 at 12:00 amAtelier is a wonderful nursery, it’s exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff are amazing and I feel like I am leaving our son with a loving family each day, where he will be safe, happy and nurtured each day. He adores it! I love their family group system which means our son doesn’t change rooms or key worker on a regular basis. Instead his group are consistent and he benefits from learning to interact with children of different ages. I can’t speak highly enough of Atelier, they take nurseries to another level!

November 27, 2019 at 12:00 amOur daughter loves the free flow approach at Atelier and has been attending for 2 years now. The staff are all very friendly and it is obvious they genuinely care about the children. It is more expensive than other nurseries in Chippenham but the facilities, opportunities for exploration and play are excellent. I found choosing a nursery quite daunting but the warmth and welcome we received at Atelier made it an easy choice for us.

December 16, 2019 at 12:00 amAtelier have the most outstanding offering in this area. We visited a couple of nurseries prior to visiting Atelier and were considering me not returning to work as we weren’t comfortable with the settings we’d seen. Then we saw Atelier and were instantly overwhelmed by the caring nature of the staff and the amazing opportunities and space it had to offer. I signed my son up immediately. During settling in sessions, we worked together and I felt just as supported as my son. My son has been going since it opened and will leave next year when he goes to school – I don’t know what I’ll do without them. All of the staff make an effort to get to know each child and the parents, it really has a family feel. My son loves the free flow and has absolutely flourished here. His development has consistently been encouraged and he loves it!
