January 13, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my daughters have attended this nursery, with my youngest still attending. I’ve always found the staff go above and beyond to care for each child. They take the time to get to know them as an individual, knowing particular activities that they enjoy and make their time at nursery special by the wide range of activities arranged. I’ve found the management to be exceptional. The managers know the children as well as the staff in the rooms, are friendly, approachable and have the best interests of the children and staff at heart. The nursery continues to evolve and the workers have continued to put the children’s needs above their own through these difficult times, providing reassurance and ensuring as much normality for children as is possible at this time, which shows how much they genuinely care for those they look after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

January 13, 2021 at 12:00 amThe team at Ashbourne are amazing! Each day I am informed of my daughter’s activities for that day and she loves it there! I have used other nursery’s in the past for other my eldest and it was difficult at times to see her not want to go in, but I have never experienced that here at Ashbourne, in fact she’s ready and waiting to go with her boots on most mornings. Well done guys, amazing work.

January 13, 2021 at 12:00 amThe team at Swanbourne are lovely. My daughter has a wonderful time at nursery. They do lots of varied activities. I particularly enjoy seeing updates on the tapestry app and seeing her progress and the activities she has been doing.
We are always told about her day when we collect her.
I feel happy and relaxed that the team always provide excellent care.

January 14, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my boys attended this nursery starting in the baby room all the way through until starting school. It is such a wonderful place, both enjoyed their time there so much. It is in a wonderful setting on a working farm and the nursery staff embrace the setting getting the children out to see the animals, onto the allotment and generally enjoying and learning in the outdoors. The staff are all so friendly and caring both my boys still talk about the staff and the clear bonds they all formed. If you are looking for somewhere to send you child look no further!

January 15, 2021 at 12:00 amAshbourne at Swanbourne are an outstanding nursery with a warm welcoming team of staff! My son started here after trying out 2 different preschools and settled in comfortably in the first week alone! He loves coming to ‘school’ and talks about it frequently at home!
He always has access to his favourite things and that makes his time at nursery so enjoyable for him while being able to learn and try new things too.
The team have made me feel happy and comfortable to leave him after not being able to in previous settings so for this I’m forever grateful.
The manager is always willing to answer any questions or queries and always does so in a professional and informative manner.
They go above and beyond and are truly a fantastic nursery!

January 15, 2021 at 12:00 amGreat nursery!
I’ve only managed to drop and collect my son a few times due to work but the ladies are very welcoming and inform me all about his day upon collection. Due to not being able to pick up and collect often I love receiving the tapestry notifications to show me what he’s been up to at nursery and my son loves looking through them with me and telling me about his day.
He has settled very well and being a very outdoorsy boy the allotment area is one of his favourite places.
The ladies welcomed him, showed him unknowingly his favourite toy (animals) and took the time to get to know his likes and dislikes.
Highly recommend.

January 15, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son started nursery at 7 months old. The staff were amazing at helping him settle, along with offering support to us as parents with constant communication and photographs of his time there. The staff are really friendly and caring, they offer what I feel to be a safe and nurturing environment. Our son has come on leaps and bounds since attending Ashbourne.
Watching his journey has been incredible. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare! It was the best decision we made.

January 15, 2021 at 12:00 amThe nursery have been exceptionally welcoming not just to my own daughter, but also to the little boy who came to us in foster care. They have been incredibly supportive and he has made immense amounts of progress with them, having been developmentally delayed when he came to us. Both children always have so much fun there and look forward to going.

January 18, 2021 at 12:00 amI can not express the amazing changes in character, development and well-being we have seen since moving to this amazing nursery. With 3 children here we see quite a few different members of staff, but all know every detail about our children. The level of care we have seen has been second to none, it truly is a second home for our little ones and even when they aren’t at nursery our conversations and role-play evolves around the carers and the environment. They love each and every one of their carers as much as their carers love and care for them.
We have also seen daily, the level of consideration and thought that goes into the children’s day. Ensuring that every aspect of their day helps their development in some way. From the sensory room to fine motor skills, running and their favourite place, the allotment. With regular trips to plant, harvest food, learn about nature and have fun!
We could not recommend this nursery more. Thank you to each and every one of your incredible team.

January 21, 2021 at 12:00 amA fantastic day nursery in a lovely village setting surrounded by farm animals and tractors. The real selling point though is the dedicated and enthusiastic staff who do a fantastic job at caring for all the children. Our son has attended since he turned one year old and now runs through the gates with excitement each morning. Attending this nursery has built his confidence with other toddlers and really helped his cognitive development through the creative tasks that are set out each day. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a more intimate nursery setting for their child. Well done and thank you to the wonderful team at Swanbourne!

January 25, 2021 at 12:00 amThe team at Swanbourne have been amazing. I was nervous going back to work and leaving my baby who has allergies but the care he has received has been amazing they are so good with his allergies. My son has really thrived at the nursery in both duckings and lambs. He’s a really outdoorsy boy and it’s great how much time they spend in the garden and visiting the farm he’s very excited to see the tractors and hear the cows when I pick him up. I can’t thank the team enough.

January 29, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son has attended the Swanbourne setting from 11 months old; he will turn 4 this year.
As he’s progressed through each room, my husband and I have always been very impressed with the level of care provided by the team at Swanbourne. Our child has formed an attachment with each key worker allocated to him, which is lovely to see and makes us, as parents feel at ease when dropping him off. We love that there are always outdoor activities available and a weekly trip to the allotment is his favourite. There is always clear communication from the manager and her team and they have handled last year and now this year fantastically. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery! Thank you to all the team at Swanbourne!

February 2, 2021 at 12:00 amMy nephew has been going to Ashbourne at Swanbourne for the past year. He has absolutely thrived in the nursery environment. The staff are incredibly friendly and reassuring. They make drop-offs so easy, they are all brilliant. I cannot fault the nursery or its staff.

February 2, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have attended Swanbourne, from 2017 until present and the staff have shown nothing but care and love for them through their time there. My oldest is now at school but the nursery was flexible for her to attend during holidays when she was still within their age range. I feel confident and trusting in leaving my children with the staff at the nursery and they always come home after having such fun. Throughout the years, both children have been looked after by various staff and they have all been amazing. We have been very happy with the nursery over the years and will be sad when our youngest leaves.

February 2, 2021 at 12:00 amOur two boys both attend at Swanbourne and we couldn’t be happier. They love going to nursery and I know that they are incredibly well cared for by the amazing staff. The nursery has a real family feel and they really nurture the individual personalities of the kids. I am always amazed by how much the boys learn and how creative the carers are with a huge variety of activities on offer. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone trying to make a decision on where to send their children.

July 14, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son attended Ashbourne Day Nursery at Swanbourne from 10 months old and is due to graduate in August 21. The care and support given by the whole team throughout his time there has been excellent. You know that your child is in safe hands and if there are any problems they always communicate with you. I believe that if my son had never attended this nursery his learning and development would not be what it is today. I can’t thank the team enough.

February 14, 2022 at 12:00 amAn amazing caring and developmental nursery. We recently moved here recently from London and I am astounded at how quickly my son has settled here – he absolutely adores the staff here and he has developed so much.

February 15, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son (2.5 years) has been at this nursery for around 8 months and although he had a rocky start, he soon settled in, began to make relationships and bonds with his key worker and with little ones in his class. He eats better here than he does at home, always comes home having taken part in lots of different activities inside and out, and is always happy to go in. My daughter started at the nursery when she was 8 months old and honestly, I think she likes it better there than at home. She loves her key worker, often not wanting to come back to me at the end of the day (charming!) but I love that because I know she’s being taken care of and has had so much fun. Both rooms do lots of super creative activities and crafts and also take the children to the farm next door to see the animals! I’m so glad we found Ashbourne. One of the girls also babysits for us and I know the children are in very safe hands. The people who work there really make it a special place.

June 21, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been going here since six months old and now he’s 2, all the staff have been amazing with him, he has progressed so much and every day he comes out with a huge smile after an amazing day! Highly recommend!

June 21, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been coming to Ashbourne at Swanbourne since January of this year, he has settled in fantastically and really enjoys his days there. He has made lots of friends and made some strong bonds with the staff. I recommend the nursery to everyone
