October 14, 2024 at 2:25 pmAfter looking at multiple nurseries we knew Charley Barley’s was the one due to its home-from-home sense. The smaller class sizes made it sense more like a family which we knew would suit our son over a bigger setting. All the team are fantastic and work so closely with the kids, I really sense they are nurtured and encouraged here, building self‑assurance to communicate and try new things. Our son’s development has been a joy. Our son started at Charley Barley’s Childcare centre nearly a year ago and he has been going from strength to strength since then.

November 24, 2024 at 6:35 pmWe moved our son from his old childcare centre to here in November last year, as we moved house and have been so impressed with the team, the team, the updates, the policies in place and the kindness of all who work there. Everyone is so compassionate, attentive and really and truly want to get to know your kid as an individual and cater for their needs.
Would highly suggest. Charley Barley’s is without a doubt an outstanding childcare centre led by exceptional management.

December 25, 2024 at 11:21 pmOur son started in the baby room and is now in teenies. The team are all incredible – so great with the kids and keep us well informed. They do enjoyable activities and assistance their discovering. The childcare centre are consistently trying new things and constantly trying to improve which is commendable. We adore it! Charley Barley’s Childcare centre is such a fantastic childcare centre.

December 29, 2024 at 4:28 amFor our kids, it feels like a home-from-home – they adore their childcare centre workers and talk of them fondly. For us, as parents, we trust them implicitly – our daughter has medical needs which the childcare centre manages beautifully. They are responsive to concerns, they plan activities thoughtfully and my kids are excited to attend. I couldn’t ask for more! I couldn’t speak more highly of our journey with Charley Barley’s Childcare centre.

January 8, 2025 at 9:33 pmBefore 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 team are extremely supportive, well‑informed and enthusiastic about each kid 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 kids and cater to their individual needs as much as they can. The owners also are very welcoming and approachable and are consistently open for a chat about how my son is doing. They could definitely be forgiven for not knowing about every single kid in the childcare centre but they also take time to know everyone to ensure all kids are getting the best possible care. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest them. My son has attended Charley Barley’s Childcare centre for a couple of months now, since he was 9.5 months, and has come on leaps and bounds since he started.

January 24, 2025 at 6:31 amThey go above and beyond in every sense. Their programming is creative, enjoyable and filled with developmental benefits. They communicate well with parents and are very accommodating of any needs specific to your kid. 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 cheerful with our decision that we often pinch ourselves. I’d highly suggest them to anyone considering a childcare centre in the area. Charley Barley’s Childcare centre is an incredible childcare centre filled with remarkable team.

February 6, 2025 at 7:23 amThe team are consistently so welcoming, and both my kids adore it there. My firstborn had major separation anxiety, and they made the transition very smooth. I adore how much my kids learn there, consistently coming home knowing something new. Excellent childcare centre!

February 9, 2025 at 9:05 pmMy 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 great 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 consistently present and communicate well with any changes or general goings on in the childcare centre. All the team, 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. A remarkable childcare centre with excellent care and updates.

March 16, 2025 at 2:34 pmIncredible childcare centre!
Really helped my daughter settle in and made a worried mother very cheerful and relaxed!
Adore the childcare centre and its spaces.
Adore the garden and the team are incredible.
Also, like the way they care so much, which is hard to find these days.

April 10, 2025 at 5:24 pmHe attends full-time and the childcare centre offers exceptional value for fees as it includes meals, nappies and suncream. The team are inviting, welcoming and offer exceptional assistance to our son; he really enjoys childcare centre life. He has progressed so well due to their focus and interest in all of the kids – they consistently 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 team are very open and extremely supportive to offer help or assistance where they can. The childcare centre has outstanding updates with parents via emails and photos/videos through the app (which is updated very regularly). We are very cheerful with our choice of Charley Barley’s as our childcare centre and couldn’t suggest the childcare centre more highly. Our son has attended Charley Barley’s Childcare centre from the age of 1 and has had stellar care to this date.

April 15, 2025 at 2:04 pmThe inviting and welcoming setting, the discovering opportunities, trips to the local area, the daily feedback, the app observations, family picnics in the summer, regular parents evenings and the assistance they give during big life changes outside of childcare centre but most of all its the passionate and attentive members of team that make this childcare centre stand out.
My son has been cared for, encouraged and nurtured since his first day, he has grown in self‑assurance and tells me he loves his Barley’s days! My daughter left Charley Barley’s 4 years ago and it was the most positive and fantastic journey, 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.

May 12, 2025 at 9:11 pmThe team are welcoming, engaged and supportive. The activities and trips they do with the kids are varied, educational and enjoyable.
They provide a inviting and nurturing setting and have also been supportive with advice and assistance whenever I have had any issues with my kids’s development or behaviour.
I would highly suggest this childcare centre. I have been very impressed with Charley Barley’s Childcare centre for all of the six years that they have been looking after my kids.

May 26, 2025 at 6:43 pmThe childcare centre has consistently been flexible and supportive with myself, as a parent, but more importantly, my kids have consistently been so cheerful. All the team over the years have been compassionate, loving, nurturing and looked after my kids 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 discovering as well as sending home ideas for us parents to do the same! A excellent childcare centre full of excellent people…thank you! I have sent both of my kids to Charley Barley’s Childcare centre from the age of 1 through to and including pre-school and I adore it there.

May 28, 2025 at 4:39 amAdore the little childcare centre, will be sending my daughter there as well, my son loves the school! Lovely people, lovely school, just incredible. Totally incredible, my kid has special needs and they handle him very well.
Toby Brooks
June 1, 2025 at 3:58 amThe best team who have cared for my kids like their own, consistently a cheerful face to welcome them and encourage them. Loads of development ideas for them, trips and playtime in the garden. Will be so sad when they no longer go there. Both my kids have gone to Charley Barley’s and I honestly couldn’t fault them.
Elliot Hayes
June 3, 2025 at 4:41 pmShe now thrives going in and can’t wait to tell me about her day when she gets home! They consistently give a full detailed handover at the end of the day. Can’t thank the girls enough for making me sense so reassured when dropping her off. When my little girl first started she was so unsettled and struggled adjusting, the girls that work there go above and beyond to make sure she’s cheerful.
Jordan Grant
June 4, 2025 at 6:43 amThe dedication that is put into this business really does show on the team and kids. The kids are consistently cheerful, which is a reflection of how the childcare centre is run and how the kids 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 suggest Charley Barley’s Childcare centre and will be sad for my eldest to leave this year. Charley Barley’s Childcare centre has been an incredible childcare centre for our two kids.
Riley Keller
July 3, 2025 at 2:19 amOur kid is clearly thriving at Charley Barley’s and every time we go to pick her up she is having a excellent time. The team are attentive and welcoming and the feedback and updates we get are excellent. We’ve had informative ‘parents’ evenings’ where we’ve been able to chat face-to-face with the team and get nice updates on how our kid is doing.
Every time we go to pick our daughter up, all the team, no matter which room they’re in, know her name and say goodbye. The team have also been excellent every time we’ve had a query and are consistently cheerful and willing to help.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier and would highly suggest Charley Barley’s to other parents! Our little one has been going to Charley Barley’s Childcare centre for around nine months now and we couldn’t be happier with the team and the childcare centre as a whole.
Shawn Pierce
July 4, 2025 at 3:31 pmWe have nothing but great things to say. The team are really well‑informed and do a remarkable job. I couldn’t be happier with the childcare centre, we adore all the team, they are flexible when they can be and they really care for our little boy.

July 6, 2025 at 9:59 amOur daughter has significant medical needs, this has never been an issue, with outstanding assistance every day. All team go above and beyond. Stellar childcare centre where every detail of a childs welfare is considered.
