May 4, 2020 at 12:00 amI’ll keep this short. The nursery is of the highest quality, facilities are fantastic but what makes it is the staff. They are all so friendly and genuinely care for the children and the family as a whole. My wife and I feel genuinely lucky to have found Darling Buds. Thank you all.

May 4, 2020 at 12:00 amDarling Buds have looked after my two children. We have been using the nursery for over three years and can highly recommend! The staff are so lovely and my children enjoy themselves so much. They have learnt so many lovely skills and had such lovely experiences. The activities, outdoor play, songs they start singing at home from nursery, painting, crafting, dancing, the food! They have so much fun! I know my children have had the best days here at Darling Buds and are well looked after and loved by the staff.
Thank you Darling Buds Nursery.

May 4, 2020 at 12:00 amDarling Buds have had both my children since they were a few months old and I would never use any other nursery as they are absolutely amazing!
They have helped teach both my children to walk, run, potty train, eat independently and become clever little people.
The staff are very, very experienced and mostly long term employed staff so I have known them for 5 years now and I would highly recommend Darling Buds on this basis.
If you are seeking a safe and stimulating environment for your child to thrive and grow in, Darling Buds is the place to send them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the staff and management there.

May 4, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Darling Buds since she was 11 months.
She is now 4 and she absolutely loves going.
She’s happy, safe, looked after and loved.
I can not recommend this nursery enough.
Staff are fantastic.
She eats foods she would of never eaten with me and loves them.
She has lots of friends and has learnt so much from coming to Darling Buds.
I’m certain she will have many more years of enjoyment and learning here.
Can’t thank the wonderful team enough.

May 4, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son started at Darling Buds when he was 7 months old. The staff were brilliant and put me at ease straight away, suggesting that I could give them a ring during the day to see how he was settling in if I wanted to. They are very good at understanding how hard it can be in the early days to leave your child. My son spends two days a week at Darling Buds, and he has thrived whilst there. He is now 3 and is a confident, happy boy who absolutely loves going to nursery. He has made friends there and has had a good relationship with the staff in each room that he has been in. We definitely noticed his development come along leaps and bounds since he started going to nursery, and I have always felt confident that he is safe and well looked after whilst he is there. I highly recommend Darling Buds as a safe and nurturing place for your children to grow.

May 4, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending the nursery since the end of 2018 when she was 8 months old. The staff have been warm and welcoming since the first phone call querying spaces, to the initial tour up until now when she will be moving up to Poppies. My daughter adores the staff and is always happy to go to nursery in the mornings and happy when she’s picked up (all be it tired but that could only ever be a good thing).
The staff are always chatty and smiling when dropping off and picking up and always take the time to talk about how she has been that day and answer any queries.
They offer a lot of different activities for the children and I can definitely see my daughter learning new things with every week she goes there.
Considering current circumstances with lockdown they have been very professional, they have kept us informed as much as they can and have been in contact to check how my daughter is, which I think is amazing!

May 4, 2020 at 12:00 amMy little girl has been attending Darling Buds since she was just over 4-months-old. Over the years she has become quite the chatterbox and doesn’t stop talking about all of the fun she has at nursery every day – from a huge variety of arts and crafts, cooking, dancing and building obstacle courses in the garden! She’s made great friends and the whole team are genuinely fabulous – I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

May 5, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves going here. She has such a great relationship with the ladies in her room, and she always has a smile on her face when she sees them. Her face lights up when we stand outside the doors to go in. I can’t ask for any more than that.

May 5, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son started Darling Buds in August of last year and immediately fitted it. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel at ease with the decision we had made to change him from the daycare he previously had attended. He is always happy when we drop him off/pick him up and always tells us of his busy day. His key worker, along with many other members of staff, are always happy to fill us in on what the children have been doing, what they have eaten and any other details we may like to know. We are so happy that we made the decision for our son to attend here.

May 5, 2020 at 12:00 amOur little boy has been going to Darling Buds since he just turned one and has always loved it. All the staff are so friendly, welcoming and caring and the management is very accommodating to our needs. We can’t thank them enough. We would definitely recommend Darling Buds as a lovely nursery to go to.

May 20, 2020 at 12:00 amMy little girl has been provided with excellent care in each of the Buttercups, Daisies and Violets rooms. She thoroughly enjoys and has been kept busy with activities such as cooking (and eating) and crafts, which is clear in her memory book and we loved coming in for parents evening to see and hear about her progress!
The staff are lovely and show such compassion toward the children and an abundance of patience.
The food always smells delicious and the rooms of cleaning at the end of the day, which is brilliant! It feels like such a homely environment, would not hesitate to recommend.

May 20, 2020 at 12:00 amOutstanding! Writing a review of Darling Buds Nursery has to be one of the easiest things I have done. My daughter has attended from 9 months through to age 4. We visited 4 potential nurseries before deciding easily on Darling Buds because of how warm and welcoming they were and with how quickly they made an effort to make my daughter feel comfortable even at the visits. You could see immediately that the employees genuinely care for the children and were fun, smiling, engaging and happy. It immediately put us at ease. They happened to be the most competitively priced of all the options we visited but the price was not the deciding factor.
If you are going to leave your child with other people to look after them you know you want them to treat them with the care and compassion that you would. I felt Darling Buds did exactly that. I have recommended them to anybody that will listen. Friendly, flexible, engaging, educational, caring. Most importantly, my daughter loves attending. Outstanding!!

February 23, 2021 at 12:00 amMy three children have currently started at the nursery. I was extremely dubious at first. I am a qualified nursery nurse and worked in many nurseries, so I’ve had my fair share of experiences first hand. From the moment the door opened my children were welcomed straight away. My two-year-old doesn’t do well with change but the moment her bottom lip went the staff took control in a settling, happy and nurturing way. Because of the coronavirus I haven’t actually been inside the nursery myself, however from what the children have told me, they are beyond happy and excited being there. As a result of covid. I wrote each room and networker/s a letter explaining the ins and out of each child. They were extremely grateful and have supported my every wish. The owner herself picks up and drops off my children, my children have developed a strong connection with her and are so excited in the mornings they eagerly wait at the door and call her name! Highly recommended.

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amOur little one has been attending since September 2020. Due to Covid-19 she hadn’t spent much time around other people or children so was nervous at first. The staff were so welcoming and we have seen a massive difference in our daughter. She gets so excited when she knows she is going to nursery. She has moved from buttercups to violets and is thriving. The staff are always happy to answer any questions and are very caring towards our child. She comes home with diary entries that we love as it shows us what she has been doing that day. Plus, plenty of crafts come home too which is lovely. We are expecting our second child and will have no worries sending our second child here as our daughter is so happy there. Massive relief when you see them go in happy and come out happy.

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending since eight months old and is now four, he loves Darling Buds Nursery and the girls so much, he will cry if he can’t go. I know my son is in a safe, secure environment and the girls go above and beyond with all the children. My son has learnt so much since he started and I can’t imagine him going anywhere else. I highly recommend everyone to this nursery. What more do you want than friendly staff, home cooked meals, a safe and happy environment. I would give ten stars if I could.

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son started Darling Buds Nursery in September 2020 and from the first day, he happily walked in and came out with a huge smile on his face. He had attended a different nursery prior to this and wasn’t always eager to go and would rarely eat his lunch there. At Darling Buds Nursery he was always excited to go and ate all his lunch, which was a great relief knowing he hadn’t gone hungry. The staff at Darling Buds Nursery are so welcoming, loving and caring towards the children and so friendly towards the parents. He has learnt lots whilst at the nursery too, he can count to ten in Welsh and knows his colours in Welsh too. Unfortunately, now that my son has turned three, he has had to leave Darling Buds Nursery this month and go to the local school nursery and he was quite upset. He misses Darling Buds Nursery and his friends lots and asks regularly when he can go back.

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth of my boys have been attending Darling Buds Nursery ever since 2016. They both absolutely love it! The staff are providing fantastic care and the management is absolutely brilliant. Having used a different nursery in the past, I can definitely say that Darling Buds Nursery are second to none!

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son joined Darling Buds Nursery in February 2021. He has been enjoying every minute. The staff are professional and kind. Feedback about activities and food is given every day. I can’t thank Darling Buds Nursery enough.

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son is eighteen months old and my daughter is five and a half years old and both are in the nursery. Staff are very friendly, helpful and caring, they all look after my kids very well. Whenever I needed any help they were there for me and for my kids. I am very happy I got space for my kids in Darling Buds Nursery, I can only say good about them. Well done ladies.

December 18, 2022 at 12:00 amI have two children, the eldest is three, and the youngest is a year old. The eldest is very hard at work and wears a brace for her scoliosis. She started going to Darling Buds when she was one, just after the lockdown, and she has been loving it since then. All the girls have always been smiling, helpful and extremely supportive. I am immensely grateful for their hard work. I can see the progress she has been making throughout the years, and I feel she is extremely lucky to be there. The little one is super happy, she started three months ago, and every morning she wants to put her coat on and go to the nursery. I am impressed by all the stuff and skills they have been learning; it is an excellent learning environment, and it is a true investment for their future. The food is also very healthy and fresh.
