November 1, 2016 at 12:00 amMy granddaughter has been with Natural Choice Nursery since she was 7 months old and is now in her final year (starting school next September). She is a very strong-willed child and sometimes very difficult to handle! That’s where Natural Choice Nurseries come in. They truly have the patience of angels!! Nothing seems to phase them.
Their care and understanding is second to none. Always something interesting for the children to do each day (she always goes home with some lovely stories of the day) and the food she thinks is yummy (she will eat anything and everything now).
It’s been such a success for her that her little brother has recently joined the baby unit (at 7 months) and has had no problems in settling in. My family can rest assured that on the two day’s a week that the children go to NCN that they will be safe, looked after in all aspects and very well fed !!

November 4, 2016 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been to Natural Choice Nursery – Charfield since she was 6 months old. She is now 3 and a half and still loves it there. She has recently started pre-school at our local school and the staff there have made comments on how bright she is, I’m sure it’s Natural Choice Nursery staff I have to thank for this. I am still amazed by the knowledge she comes home with.

November 4, 2016 at 12:00 amEven from my first visit to look around the nursery last year I loved it. I had a warm and cosy feeling and knew my son would be happy and very well looked after and over a year on, I can honestly say I am so very happy with my choice! At the settling in process, I was nervous as any parent would be, all the staff were reassuring and didn’t mind how many times I rang to check on him! They were fantastic at helping my son settle in. They do so many fun and exciting activities that most days I struggle to get him to leave. They are giving my son the perfect start to his educational life too. I really can’t praise Natural Choice Nurseries Ltd. enough and thank them for all they do.

November 4, 2016 at 12:00 amOur daughter is now 4 and has been going to Natural Choice Nurseries Ltd in Charfield since she was 13 months old.
The nursery has been an amazing place for her to be looked after by the lovely staff and has been fantastic for her development.

November 4, 2016 at 12:00 amI have never any problems with the staff or generally at Natural Choice Nurseries Ltd. Listening to other mums complaining about other nurseries, I can assure that this nursery is by far the best. My child always comes home without being dirty and always in the best mood! In fact, my child never wants to leave when I pick them up. I am very happy with its outcome and will certainly send my second child to this nursery.

November 4, 2016 at 12:00 amNatural Choice Nursery is a fabulous nursery, the staff are great and were really supportive in those first few days when I was having wobbles leaving my precious first born with them! My son really enjoys his time there and is definitely benefiting from interacting with the other children. It’s a lovely setting with a very homely feel and the menu always looks amazing, much better than I get at work! I would thoroughly recommend it as a place to take your child.

November 4, 2016 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Natural Choice Nursery since she was 4 months hold (now 4 years) and we have experienced no issues at all. The team are excellent, she has developed a great bond with a number of the girls. They have really contributed to my daughter’s development over the years and believe it was the best decision we made. We have since moved away from the area but our daughter still attends Natural Choice Nursery despite being surrounded by other nurseries much closer to home. They have been a great support even during difficult times and have made balancing working and being a mum much easier. I would recommend them to anyone and I am sure my daughter is going is going to find it difficult to say goodbye next year.

November 7, 2016 at 12:00 amOur son was at this nursery for 2 years after moving from an excellent nursery in Bristol. Although initially apprehensive about moving him, he soon settled in and is even happier than at his previous nursery. The outdoor spaces have been improved over the years and activities such as gardening club and French provide a good variety of activities and experiences. The food is organic and varied and all of the staff we know are excellent – fun and caring. Being set in an old cottage, the rooms are quite small but they make full use of it. Our daughter is there now and is just as happy and developing well. I’d definitely recommend it.

November 8, 2016 at 12:00 amMy son has recently started attending the nursery. We had no hesitation in taking him to this nursery as our daughter attended for approximately 3 years before starting school. All of the staff are really friendly and do an amazing job in looking after all of the children. I would be happy to recommend this nursery.

November 9, 2016 at 12:00 amI have been using Natural Choice Nursery in Charfield since 2012. My children have very different characters and both have been very happy there – an indication of how well they look after individual children. The staff are friendly and caring and they all know the children well. The food is healthy and varied and I’m pleased that they are offered so many different tastes – with my eldest is now at school and having school dinners, I fully appreciate how good the nursery food is!
Speaking to friends using other nurseries, I learned that staff changes and staff turnover can be quite an issue in childcare settings. I had no idea because Natural Choice Nurseries don’t seem to face any problems there and, in fact, any staff changes are very well managed which is a sign of how well the nursery is run by the manager and owner.

February 8, 2017 at 12:00 amI only have good things to say about Natural Choice Nurseries Ltd – Charfield. We’ve been happy from day 1 and will continue to use the nursery for our second child. The staff are always happy and genuinely caring towards the children and our son always comes home happy (and exhausted from all the fun he has had). The time and care that goes into the children’s development is outstanding and the communication between the nursery and parents via email/online journal/face to face is excellent. The food is so varied and healthy, I never have to worry if he’s been fed well and knows that he will not grow up to be a fussy eater as a result. We cannot recommend Natural Choice Nurseries Ltd – Charfield enough.

February 23, 2017 at 12:00 amNatural Choices (Charfield) already came highly recommended from several of my mummy friends and on that alone, we felt we didn’t need to look at any other nurseries. It just felt ‘right’ when we walked in, a ‘home from home’. Our little boy was initially very tearful in the mornings (and sometimes still is now) but the staff were (and are) absolutely brilliant with him and I know he is in the second best place to be when we have to go to work (first, obviously, being at home – damn that mortgage). The girls who look after him are like his second mums and care and love him whilst we aren’t there.
Could not recommend this nursery high enough.

February 23, 2017 at 12:00 amMy son attended Natural Choices in December 2012, from the age of 5 months old. I was obviously very apprehensive about leaving him at this age, as any parent would be as my son was so young. However, I needn’t have been as the staff were great from the moment I first left him in their care until his last day in August 2016.
I truly believe that attending Natural Choices built his confidence greatly and prepared him to attend school with ease.
The staff are excellent and listened to any concerns that I had. He built positive bonds not only with other peers but also the staff.

February 23, 2017 at 12:00 amI absolutely love Natural Choice Nurseries Ltd – Charfield! My son has been attending for a year now and I can’t believe how much he is thriving and this is all down to the staff and the resources that Natural Choice Nurseries Ltd – Charfield provide. I am quite a fussy parent as I have worked in nursery settings before. My son rarely wants to come home and always comes home talking about all the fun things he has been doing and who he has played with. I feel that the staff genuinely care about my son and always make time to hand over to me or my partner in detail at the end of the day. We love reading the detailed observations in his development folder and seeing all the lovely pictures they take!
The food is fantastic and healthy and always varied.
I would and do highly recommend Natural Choice Nurseries Ltd- Charfield to anyone looking for a fun, loving and educational nursery.

August 10, 2018 at 12:00 amAll 3 of my children have attended/are attending Natural Choice, Charfield and all 3 have been very well looked after and really enjoy(ed) their time there. Staff genuinely care about and know our children. My middle daughter calls one of the members of staff her “bestie”! Our individual needs are also well met – all 3 wore cloth nappies, my eldest was dairy free. I would not hesitate to recommend them and will be sad once my youngest leaves!

April 6, 2023 at 12:00 amNatural Choice is a fantastic nursery. My son has settled there so well and is happy and nurtured. The staff are outstanding – the care and attention they show my son are brilliant, and you can see this when I drop him off, and he’s so happy to go into their arms, and when I pick him up, he’s happily engaging with them with a huge smile on his face. The food is excellent and very nutritious, and my son often eats seconds. They have wonderful outdoor space where they spend lots of time whenever the weather is bright enough to do so. They deliver many activities, and the communication home is brilliant – I have so many pictures of him smiling away and doing lots of different fun things. We are 100% happy with our choice of Natural Choice and are enjoying seeing our son thrive there.

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amA fantastic nursery in a beautiful location. My son has several allergies and they have put lots of processes in place for his safety.
The staff are so friendly and knowledgable.
The cook makes fresh and nutritious meals which the children seem to really enjoy!

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have been very happy here, and the staff are always smiling, welcoming and kind. The outdoor facilities, particularly in the preschool areas are great, and the staff always make an effort to gear activities towards a child’s interest(s).

April 12, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son joined Natural Choice Nurseries aged one and left to go to school. He had the most wonderful time, in a nurturing, caring and fun environment. He made friends who he will have for life. I couldn’t recommend the nursery more highly. I cried when he had to leave!
