February 15, 2021 at 12:00 amWe’re very happy with our choice of nursery. Our child’s development and behaviour has really been honed here, and the staff are always very friendly and engaging.
Our child often talks about her teachers at home, which shows a positive impression has been left on her. She’s always very much looking forward to going to nursery!

February 15, 2021 at 12:00 amMulberry Bush have cared for my children since 2012 and have received an excellent level of care. My youngest, who is currently in the Pre-School room, loves coming to nursery. Drop-offs are so much easier when your child is happy to walk in without a backward glance! The staff are caring and always approachable. I have recommended Mulberry Bush to friends in the past and would do so again without hesitation.

February 16, 2021 at 12:00 amWe are very happy with the care that our son receives at Mulberry Bush. He took a little time to adjust when he first started and we were very grateful for the kindness and patience the staff showed him. He always eats all of his meals and is all smiles when we collect him at the end of the day.

February 18, 2021 at 12:00 amThe management team and staff are amazing! They are so approachable, friendly and helpful. I am so happy with how my child has settled into the nursery. The staff are extremely welcoming and really hard working. Couldn’t be happier with the experience and learning provided for my child.

March 8, 2021 at 12:00 amWe couldn’t be happier with Mulberry Bush. The staff are so kind and caring, they all know our son, even those in different rooms. At first, we were worried, as our son joined the nursery as a 3-year-old and without knowing a single word in English, but the staff are incredibly lovely, kind and patient with him. We have absolute full confidence in them when we leave our little one in the mornings. Great learning place. We couldn’t have chosen a better nursery.

July 15, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy absolutely loves nursery and all of the staff. There is a great amount of thought put into the activities and it helps him so much with his development. He loves going and has some great relationships there.

July 26, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been coming to this nursery since 2018 and she loves it. She has always had a great time and is comfortable with all the workers there – they are all lovely and enthusiastic. She never hesitates to go in and has taken part in a wide variety of activities. She is in pre-school now and we’re really enjoying seeing the progress she makes each week and what she has been learning. Thank you to all the staff at Mulberry!

March 16, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter is nearly two and has been going to the nursery since she was just over a year old, she is now in the toddler room and hasn’t been there very long but the difference in her development that I’ve seen in such a short time is amazing. Well cared and I wouldn’t want any other nursery to be looking after my daughter she is happy where she is.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff set up and facilities are all fantastic. Great communication when we need flexibility with bookings. Our daughter absolutely loves coming to Mulberry Bush.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy grandson loves coming to nursery morning. I feel his development and needs are all being met. The staff are all very welcoming and keep me informed of all that’s happening on a daily basis. This last term has been particularly inclusive, parents and carers have been invited to take part in many of the activities.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my children enjoy attending nursery. The staff are kind and helpful. Since the manager returned from maternity leave there has been a huge improvement in communication and experiences planned. We receive feedback daily from the staff in the rooms. We receive monthly newsletters and are invited in for certain events eg Valentine’s Day and Easter egg hunt.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amIt’s been a difficult few months since the Ofsted report was released and the nursery has bounced back with great momentum. Unfortunately, I am unable to recognise it as excellent just yet as there are still issues with frequent communication, updates to learning journals and individual feedback about the progress of the child. The last parents’ evening was in 2021.
Fingers crossed the nursery continues to improve and build on success.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amWe’ve been really happy with my daughter’s development since her arrival. They have been flexible with their availability for her (we’re both self-employed so things chop and change regularly with our schedules) on a week-by-week basis. She has bonded fantastically with her care team.
Points to improve on for a 5* rating – Safeguarding: The care and attention from the staff is great, but we felt to warrant 5* the safeguarding for potential hazardous situations needs a little more attention (all easily fixable issues)
*Larger cot with higher sides.
*More rugs would avoid any bad bumps.
Cleanliness – The cleanliness is very good, but one thing that we noted was the use of bleach/detol being used for the end-of-day cleaning, whilst the children are still in attendance. Cleaning chemicals are notoriously bad for general health, especially bad for babies, so switching out those for safer eco products would be much better or completing the end-of-day clean after all children leave.

April 28, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child is always happy to go to preschool and see other children and her teachers. She feels safe and I’m very happy with the care and attention she receives. Over a few weeks, she has made excellent progress with her toilet training and expanded her vocabulary.

April 28, 2023 at 12:00 amLovely kind staff. I feel at ease when I leave my child with them as I know that they will take good care of her. I’m always reassured and am able to call whenever to check on my daughter and staff are very kind and understanding. I can’t fault anything as I’m satisfied and very happy with all the staff that take care of my daughter. She’s in good hands.

April 28, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my daughters attend the nursery in toddler and preschool rooms. They are well cared for and the staff are welcoming and caring. They provide varied activities including theme days which the children enjoy. They spend time outside playing in a good environment and they invest in new equipment.

May 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter started in January, there has been so much selection in activities and the range of events for parents and children since then. The nursery has some lovely environments throughout and my child has settled so well with all staff has made lovely bonds with other babies. Great nursery!
