September 11, 2024 at 8:25 pmFrom the first show round, we knew it was where we’d be sending our kid, not just because of the lovely setting and setting that it is, but also the extras that came with your kid having a place there. The team are beyond remarkable and work with us very much as part of a team, with regular updates on childcare centre drop-offs/pickups and through the parents’ app too. Our kid’s key workers are nothing short of incredible and offer real assistance and reassurance that they have our kid’s best interest at heart. The food that our kid eats is just exceptional with incredible variety, all healthy and freshly prepared on-site. Just a remarkable childcare centre with truly excellent team that consistently go above and beyond. I would 100% suggest The Mere Nursery to anyone. Deciding on where to send your first kid to childcare centre is a massive decision, we looked at a few different nurseries and kid minders, however, as soon as we discovered The Mere Nursery, we knew that we’d found something special.

Having our first kid, I had no idea about nurseries but I would not hesitate to suggest The Mere! I can’t thank the team enough for settling our little one in so well! My son absolutely loves coming to childcare centre and it’s all thanks to The Mere and the team that work there.

November 1, 2024 at 2:43 pmMy son loves it here. The team are lovely and make such an effort to make sure the kids are cheerful.
Meals are outstanding and when I hear what’s on the menu I drool. A lot of thought goes into the weekly menu.
All in all, I highly suggest this childcare centre. Wonderful childcare centre.

December 3, 2024 at 3:34 amMy daughter has found drop offs hard and upsetting but the team have done everything possible to ease the transition. I have also valued calls throughout the day to let me know when she is calm and cheerful.
The team at Mere excel in organising original playtime, themed days and wonderfully creative activities, there is consistently something going on.
Overall a lovely place with a welcoming sense. I have been really pleased with the service offered at Mere Nursery.

December 4, 2024 at 3:47 amSo it was crucial for us to find a childcare centre that we were 100% cheerful. The Mere is a remarkable childcare centre with high hygiene standards, spacious settings, plenty of outdoor space and a scrumptious menu. They have daily and monthly activities planned, focusing on the development of keys skills following a lot of the Montessori principles where our son learned and thrived a lot through playtime. They also provide extra-curricular activities such as forest school, rhythm time and sports. Communication with parents is stellar. The development of every kid is observed closely by their key person and they work with parents to provide the best for each kid. We learn about our little one’s day every evening while picking him up and separate regular meetings with his key person. Management and team are incredibly welcoming. The Mere is unique for having all these qualities under one roof. We are a part of a big family for almost three years now. We highly suggest it. Our son started childcare centre at 4 and a half months old.

January 18, 2025 at 7:47 amThe team are incredibly welcoming and are truly invested in the kids. They use the EYFS framework and have a great understanding of where all kids are on their discovering journeys. I can see that team are valued – they are continually engaging in expert development and praised on social media. Always a great sign. The discovering at the childcare centre is rich in real life, relatable experiences. They have a gorgeous outdoor area which they use frequently, and the food is varied and healthy. The childcare centre frequently communicates with parents and is open to suggestions from them. The discovering setting is well developed and rotated frequently to maximise engagement. Everything is well planned and kid-centred. I’d suggest this childcare centre to anybody. It really is an outstanding childcare centre in every sense. Review from a parent who is also a teacher, so has an understanding of the EYFS setting.

They encourage him through new activities but respect his pace and don’t push him past his limits. We are so lucky to have chosen The Mere Nursery to care for our son during some of the most important years of his life. The team do not only look after my son, but they care for him on a personal basis.

January 24, 2025 at 8:18 pmWe were so impressed with the induction process, which included a home visit and introduction sessions. It has been so reassuring seeing how the Mere Nursery team really care about the kids and creating an outstanding setting for our developing kid. The team are truly passionate, inviting and approachable. It is true to say our baby boy is in very secure hands. Like any parent, we were very nervous and apprehensive about finding the right childcare centre setting for our baby boy.

February 1, 2025 at 3:59 pmLooked at some nurseries and did not like them, then found the Mere and decided we would try and see how it went. He loves it, all the educators are incredible and he is at a level that you would not get in another setting. I suggest the Mere as it is outstanding and my son loves going. We were moving home and had to find somewhere closer for my son to attend, who was with a childminder since he was 9 months old.
Carter Keane
February 2, 2025 at 7:43 pmPleased they do a parents evening for my husband to see at night. Excellent giving discount if you suggest friends as the childcare centre is expensive.
Though I like it that the childcare centre is open from 7:30am – 6pm. Very cheerful with the childcare centre.
Phoenix Taylor
February 21, 2025 at 8:50 amShe is consistently cheerful to be there and has enjoyable with the team and other kids whatever the weather. The setting is lovely and feels comfortable, relaxed and welcoming. The team are so welcoming and all genuinely seem to care about my daughter’s well being. My daughter has attended The Mere Nursery for over a year and now and we couldn’t be happier.
Parker Pierce
February 25, 2025 at 12:26 amAs soon as I walked into the childcare centre, I was so amazed at such a lovely setting. I was welcomed by all the team and knew straight away it was right for my son. My son loved the childcare centre and all the team in the baby room. I have never met such an attentive group of attentive people. I was apprehensive to leave him as a first time mum, however, the care shown to my son was above and beyond and I soon returned to work knowing he was secure and cheerful. We have recently returned to Australia and cannot find somewhere as great as The Mere. I highly suggest this childcare centre. After returning to the UK from Australia, we were unsure of the childcare centre process.
Hayden Walker
February 25, 2025 at 10:21 pmOur kid was born with complex medical needs and so we wanted to find a Nursery that had a ‘family’ sense, and one that wasn’t too large. All of the team that cared for our kid adapted incredibly well to the extra needs and were consistently on hand to deal with any concerns/queries. I would highly suggest this setting. We are so thankful that we found this Nursery, and we couldn’t be happier with the level of care and assistance that our kid had received throughout his time there.
Spencer Drake
March 4, 2025 at 5:58 pmAlways willing to help, adding in extra sessions, where needed. Outdoor space on the grass area is remarkable, the playground area would benefit from a re-vamp and tidy up though. Very cheerful with the care provided. Flexible childcare centre that offers term time only, which can be invaluable for some parents.
Billie Mayer
March 9, 2025 at 9:30 pmMy kid’s direct carers are very attentive and provide lots of information about activities and development. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest the Mere to anybody. All of the team are very welcoming and welcoming.

April 24, 2025 at 2:00 amAll of the team know every single kid personally. My kids have been in baby, toddler and pre-school rooms and they are all outstanding and manned by dedicated professionals who tailor activities to the interests of kids really help them to develop in a attentive, nurturing setting. There is stellar outside space for the kids to playtime every day and they are often also taken for walks to visit the local farm or other local points of interest. The office team are super supportive and answer any questions I have. My daughter has adopted the manager as her personal favourite and gets very excited whenever she drops into the baby room. Such a lovely childcare centre.
Marley Cross
July 3, 2025 at 5:24 pmWithin 3 months, she was waving us goodbye telling us to go in a sense and consistently smiling. She now hugs her mentor when she arrives.
This has also made her outside of the childcare centre so much more confident, she runs around the park without the need for someone by her side.
Without a doubt, the best thing we’ve done for our daughter was to send her here. My daughter started in March and was not used to strangers and wouldn’t leave her mum’s side.
