September 15, 2024 at 8:54 pmThank you so much for everything. The educators were exceptional, considerating also the fact that my daughter when she started, spoke mainly Italian. Unfortunately, my daughter was able to attend only for a few months because of covid-19. It’s incredible how much she has learned in such a short time.

October 14, 2024 at 12:28 pmThroughout the pandemic, fantastic standard activities were suggested for the kids to complete every day. Following the initial lockdown, the nursery opened as soon as it was allowed and seemed to manage within the new constraints with ease, demonstrating their professionalism, planning and adaptability. Parents receive excellent standard and comprehensive written, verbal and online feedback and reports which demonstrate their expertise in understanding and developing the kids. She has enjoyed every minute of her time there as a result of the management achieving the perfect balance between a structured approach and being extremely nurturing. The team truly get to know and caregiving for the kids and encourage them to achieve their potential. My daughter has thrived at Bishop Challoner Nursery.

November 11, 2024 at 6:04 pmI also such as the fact that tapestry is extremely well utilized by the nursery to keep parents updated on their youngster’s progress on a daily basis. The nursery team focus attention on various abilities and explains via tapestry what abilities are enhanced by doing a particular session. This helps further nurture what they are being taught. Team are always at hand to deal with any concerns and I find their response times extremely quick which is extremely much appreciated. My son has recently joined Bishop Challoner (September) and I am extremely pleased with how well he has settled in and how professional all the team members are.

November 29, 2024 at 8:41 pmI am so content that we chose Bishop Challoner! Bishop Challoner has outstanding resources and provides fantastic opportunities for development both inside and outside of the classroom. I such as that my kids get to see each other and develop together during focus activities planned by their educators. I am so content with the caregiving and education that my kids are receiving at Bishop Challoner. My kids are so content and will tell me about their day and the friends that they have made. Bishop Challoner communicates with us as parents extremely well regarding their Eyfs and reception curriculum using the Tapestry platform, which we adore using. I truly such as their Christian values and how it is implemented within the kids’s development.

January 5, 2025 at 10:30 pmThe team are kind, loving and nurturing and the educators always go over and above. Bishop Challoner has given my son the perfect start to schooling, the setting is perfect and the blend of playtime and development provides a fantastic foundation for their time at centre. Our son attended Bishop Challoner and we couldn’t have been happier with the level of caregiving, development and attention he received. For us, the ethos and warm‑hearted, nurturing approach is something that we wanted to maintain and our son will be continuing his time at Bishop Challoner and moving into reception in September, we cannot wait for his next Chapter at Bishop Challoner. I would not hesitate to highly recommend this incredible nursery and all of its remarkable educators.

February 4, 2025 at 5:23 pmIt has surprised every single one of my expectations and is light years ahead of my daughter’s previous day nursery. It is nurturing and structured and mist importantly my daughter has adored every minute of her time there, even asking to attend on her birthday. Thank you so much Bishop Challoner nursery. I truly believe Bishops Challoner Nursery is the best in the area.

February 13, 2025 at 8:29 amTeam members are extremely warm‑hearted to kids and one can feel they have years of experience with this extremely specific and demanding age. Bishop Challoner Centre nursery has been a extremely inviting place and what better feedback than my youngster asking when she’s going back to nursery and telling me all about her friends and educators! My youngster is content, I am content so I am sure the nursery team are doing an incredible job! Also, there’s a well-framed updates system between the parents and the team which makes us feel more supported.

March 26, 2025 at 2:40 amThank you Team BC – you rock! The team are all warm‑hearted and nurturing and my son could not be in a better place. The setting is everything we want for our kids. The smile on my son’s face when he rushes into the nursery every morning is matched only by the grin he has when he leaves for the day. Secure, enjoyable, enterprising and educational.

April 14, 2025 at 10:34 pmThanks to their fantastic remote updates tool, my daughter was able to know what to expect and who would be teaching and nurturing for her. Despite all the restrictions, the Nursery Leader and the Admissions Team were able to provide a reassuringly thorough transition for our daughter. The team have been incredibly inviting and my daughter did not even look back on her first day! She is just so content and always looks forward to going in each day. Bishop Challoner’s nursery and preschool came highly recommended to us, even so, my husband and I have been amazed by the exceptionally elevated level of caregiving, expertise and professionalism of the entire nursery team. With regular progress and achievement updates including photos and videos, I am completely certain we could not have chosen a better place for our daughter. A huge thanks to the educators for the peace of mind we have in the knowledge that our little one is in extremely excellent hands.

April 18, 2025 at 12:09 pmI leave my youngster there and walk away with peace of mind that they are content, cared for and secure. My youngest youngster started Bishop Challoner Nursery in September 2021, my eldest went to the nursery previously and overall, I can’t praise it enough. The kids have their own playground within this area and it is full of toys and activities for them. The classrooms are full of resources and work done by the kids. The team are the biggest credit to this nursery. The thought they put into everything is superb and they truly do get to know every youngster. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend this early years setting to anyone. The nursery department is in its own secure area within the centre grounds. They are a dedicated team and the head of the nursery excels in every aspect of her work.

April 24, 2025 at 12:56 amThere are daily and weekly routines as well as a wide variety of activities and development opportunities. Team take time to develop about their charges and understand each youngster’s personality and individual needs. Older kids enjoy the excitement of attending forest centre weekly and spending time with the Reception class. There is a fantastic family feel to the nursery and a seamless home‑like-nursery working together attitude. Independence and a can-do attitude are encouraged from the start. The nursery embraced remote development during lockdown; as a parent, I felt extremely supported and my youngster still felt extremely much part of Bishop Challoner and her development continued. I highly highly recommend Bishop Challoner. My daughter started at Bishop Challoner Nursery just before her third birthday, she attended full time for two years. She adored every one of the team and they had a fantastic rapport with her. I feel my daughter has been given all of the tools and assistance necessary to prepare her mentally and physically for Reception.

June 3, 2025 at 7:09 pmI was pleased to meet the management team. I have been looking for a nursery for my daughter age 3 during the summer holidays, I’ve been looking around but I wanted a nursery that could change her experience of development. They’ve been so supportive and they contacted me with so much kindness. I’m so satisfied with the nursery.

July 9, 2025 at 3:56 amHighly recommended. Approachable, patient team at Bishop Challoner extremely inviting and each youngster made to feel special. Attentive and individualised caregiving so kids are encouraged to express themselves and explore new activities which is what nursery should be about.
