About this day nursery
Brambles Rushall, a childcare on non-domestic premises setting in Rushall, Wiltshire, has been operating since 2023 and provides a nurturing outdoor environment for children aged 1-4 years. Open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM all year round, the day nursery prides itself on its strong standard in behaviour, attitudes, and establishing routines, as well as children's welfare and wellbeing.
Leaders ensure a calm and purposeful environment where children confidently follow routines and understand expectations for behaviour. The setting excels in fostering collaboration among children, from working together in the mud kitchen to negotiating roles.
The dedicated staff are adept at planning meaningful experiences, using their deep knowledge of each child, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to ensure consistent progress across all areas of learning. The day nursery places a strong emphasis on outdoor learning, allowing children to explore the woodland environment with curiosity and confidence, supported by open-ended resources that encourage problem-solving and physical development.
The inclusion of all children is central to the nursery's philosophy, with leaders quickly identifying needs and implementing targeted support and individualised programmes, including adapting routines and using visual and sensory resources for effective engagement. The nursery also focuses on continuous improvement through staff training, particularly in outdoor education and support for children under two, ensuring the youngest children benefit fully from the outdoor-only provision.

A Wonderful Nursery! My son absolutely loves attending Brambles Rushall, and as a parent, I couldn’t be happier with the care and education he receives there. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s well-being and development. The environment is welcoming and well-organized, with plenty of engaging activities that keep my son excited to learn and explore. I’ve noticed how much he’s grown in confidence, social skills, and creativity since starting here. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed about his progress and any upcoming events or themes. The team really go above and beyond to make the nursery feel like a home away from home. I would highly recommend Brambles Rushall to any parent looking for a nurturing, safe, and enriching place for their child. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care and want the best for every child. A massive thank you to the whole team at Rushall, Saffy, Amber, Corrie, Ella and Abbey.

Amazing nursery/playgroup. The staff are always so friendly and make the day so fun for the little ones. They love being outside all day and learn so much. Really great updates through the app. My children love their days and are always talking about the lovely staff.

Absolutely amazing pre-school outside in nature, would recommend! Our little one has settled in wonderfully into the Squirrels group, his language both verbal and makaton is blossoming, as is his confidence. As parents we really appreciate the thorough updates and clear communication when he is there.
