November 24, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Best Childcare Nursery for over a year and a half and loves it. The nursery staff really tune in to the interests of the children and tailor activities to build on these interests. I can tell time and effort is put into the reports we receive and are specific to my son and I love the pictures we are sent. Some of the reasons we chose this nursery were the good quality vegetarian food and a focus on being environmentally friendly which comes through in activities. My son always comes home tired and happy as they pack so much into the day and has made some lovely friends and really grown in confidence.

November 24, 2020 at 12:00 amOur whole experience with Best Childcare Nursery is so positive. Our child has been in both the 0-2 room and now in the 2+ room and we have had a wonderful experience throughout (our 2nd child will be joining soon too). Our little boy always comes home full of joy and smiles from nursery and they do so much lovely, creative stuff with the children. The learning is one element that we love but also we love their focus on the children’s emotional needs and the strong sense of coming together, caring for others, slowing down. The environment is so nurturing, caring and warm and I really feel they take the time to know your child’s individual personality which is great. As a parent, it is reassuring to know that you are leaving your child in safe hands but also to know that if they need a hug they will always get one.
Communication with the nursery is really good and the workers provide such good detail when you do pick up/drop-offs. The breakdown of what the children do each day is lovely on the app.

November 24, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has now been attending Best Childcare nursery for the last 5 months and she thoroughly enjoys her time there.
The staff are extremely warm, caring and dedicated. We get daily updates, including photographs, of what she is doing, so appreciated during this difficult time when we can’t go into the nursery and witness it for ourselves.

November 27, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has enjoyed coming to Best Childcare Nursery from day one. He settled very quickly at the start, too. Staff always make sure that his needs are met and engage him in a wide range of learning and play activities which allow him to be curious and imaginative as well as for him to take risks and solve problems independently. He loves to get involved in messy play experiences and often comes home dirty which indicates that he has had a wonderful day. He appears happy and is starting to talk more about the little friendships he is developing now. My son particularly loves the outdoors. The Forest School approach as well as the Hygge elements implemented by the nursery are great ways for children to develop and learn. Staff communicate well with parents, not only at drop off/collection but also through the platform. It is lovely to hear, see and read about the things my son enjoys so much at nursery.

November 27, 2020 at 12:00 amBest was very accommodating when we had to find emergency childcare at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
They have shown lots of love and care towards my son, and he really enjoys his time there.
Communication is very very good compared to other settings we have used.
I am always very impressed with the staff; their friendliness and gentle approach to the activities they do with the kids.

November 27, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter loves attending Best nursery. She runs in and out happy each day. The activities are varied and seem lots of fun. I like the focus on creativity and on social skills/learning to be good friends to each other. I have been during nap times and meal times and it seems calm and the food appears to be healthy (and vegetarian!). There are some lovely caring staff members, who really get to know your little one.

December 29, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter loves going to Best Childcare nursery and all the staff that work there. We’ve felt from even before she started that the staff had a genuine interest and care in her well-being. I’ve always had absolute confidence that she is well looked after, cared for, relaxed, has fun and is developing in a positive way at nursery. We’ve felt supported by the nursery during this difficult time and are extremely grateful that Best remained open for key workers throughout. The food is good, healthy and mealtimes are structured in a positive way. We’re really pleased that we chose the nursery and would certainly recommend it. Thank you Best Childcare!

January 28, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son loved Best Childcare. We felt the staff went above and beyond to make sure our son was happy and best utilised his interests. The care and attention the staff put into every aspect including mealtimes, storytime and more is outstanding. Even during covid, we felt he was safe and everything was handled brilliantly. We would definitely recommend it.

November 2, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has thrived at Best. She skips in most days, loves the staff, and has made friends with the other children. Best have focussed on her development, asking for our input on what we would like them to support on a monthly basis. She has the opportunity to engage in a brilliant variety of different activities, including painting, baking, baby yoga, pyjama drama, loads of outdoor play and even obstacle courses. The communication from the nursery is very good, whilst you don’t get informed live of every meal and every nappy change like you may do from some, you get a detailed verbal update at the end of the day, and a summary of their activities including lots of photos on the app on a daily basis as well. They show the kids a lot of love and care and it feels like a home from home. Really love the nursery.

November 2, 2021 at 12:00 amStaff are very caring – all staff seem to love their job and all know the names of all the children right from the first week, even if they are staff from the different age group rooms than your child is in. Menu seems great and the fact they offer breakfast is really helpful.

November 2, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son loves going to Best Childcare, all the nurturers care about each individual child and go out of their way to bring out the best in them. Even during some difficult behaviour the staff persevered and worked with me to get through it. They go above and beyond and I recommend them to everyone!

November 2, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son is thriving at Best Childcare. The forest school environment is magical and inspires creativity and learning. The nurturers care for the children and support for parents is excellent. Highly recommended.

January 4, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has attended Best Childcare for the last nine months, and it has been the best decision we have made. She has absolutely thrived in the kind, caring, nurturing and supportive ethos of Best Childcare. As soon as you enter the setting, it is a magical, calming environment where every child is happy and engaged in any variety of activities – this could be snuggled up enjoying a story, French, yoga, in the construction area or the home corner helping to prepare food for the day. The communication from staff is via an app, and daily it is updated regarding what has happened during the day, as well as clear feedback on collection. All staff are extremely friendly and fully invested in each child, and any concerns are addressed immediately. They regularly enjoy trips into the local community and even enjoyed a full nursery trip to the forest. We would highly recommend Best Childcare Nursery.

January 9, 2023 at 12:00 amOur little boy has had a superb first year at Best Childcare Nursery. He absolutely loves his experiences at nursery and the nurturers have taken fantastic care of him. He is looking forward to more adventures in the ‘big room’.
Thanks for taking such great care of him!

January 16, 2023 at 12:00 amBest Childcare has been amazing for our daughter for the last six months. Her confidence, speech, social skills and even sleeping have all come on leaps and bounds since starting at the nursery. All staff are incredibly welcoming and caring and have such a calming effect on the children! We get regular updates through the app and are often invited into the nursery to participate in events. Thanks to all the staff at Best!

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amSince my daughter started going to nursery, she speaks very good English for her age. She is more confident when playing and using her imagination when playing with her toys. She is very happy to go to the nursery and play with her friends.

January 20, 2023 at 12:00 amOur child has settled really well and this has been massively down to the caring staff and wonderful learning environment. He loves having the freedom to make things, get messy and take part in lots of different activities.

January 20, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my grandchildren have received excellent care. They are both developing into curious learners who love learning. They respect others. They are creative and love music and dance. What an excellent start in life. The eldest one started school with confidence because of this beginning.

January 20, 2023 at 12:00 amAn amazing nursery that our two boys have loved going to. Lots of brilliant activities, messy play and even yoga. Thoroughly recommend it to all.

April 28, 2023 at 12:00 amMy baby boy has been at Best Childcare Nursery since he was 14 months old and is thriving there. The staff take great care in their work, evident through the clear positive bonds my baby already has with them, the care and attention he receives, his smiles on drop off/pick up and my observations when I have been at the nursery for any duration of time. The communication has been excellent and any queries or worries have been listened to and responded to quickly and compassionately. The overall ethos of the nursery is completely in line with how I wanted my son to learn about the world, through nature, adventure, joy and nurture. The feedback from when he is there is great, both verbally, written and through pictures showing what my son has been getting up to and enjoying through his days at nursery (including outdoor trips, indoor play, dining outside in their beautiful outdoor space etc) and this gives me complete peace of mind he is safe and happy. I wouldn’t want him anywhere else.
