Highly recommend Brixworth Day Nursery. The staff are engaged and committed to providing the highest quality of care, learning, and fun. Alongside this, child safety is also a huge thing taken seriously. Staff are amazing at accommodating my daughter’s individual needs whilst promoting group play and dealing with social interactions. The daily updates are informative and the periodic learning assessments help us as parents to know where she is at with her learning and development. Aside from this, they just care and love my daughter which is most important to me and in return, my daughter loves going and actually refuses to come home!

Our daughter has been in 2’s room for around 9 months and would highly recommend this nursery. We get daily updates and regular photos of what she’s doing each day and reports on her development progress. She runs in every morning excited to see her friends and she loves her key workers. They do a wide range of activities and on special occasions like mother day etc they make cards or crafts to send home which is so sweet! It is hard having to leave her whilst we work but I feel very happy and comfortable that she is getting the best care whilst she is away from us.

We cannot fault Brixworth Day Nursery. The staff are amazing- they are supportive, encouraging and kind. They all know our child so well and have helped him to grow in confidence. The staff are all extremely approachable and communication is excellent. We get regular updates on our child’s progress and what his “next steps” are and how the staff will support him to achieve these goals. Thank you to all the hard-working staff throughout the setting, you are all a credit to the profession.

We couldn’t be happier with Brixworth Day Nursery. Our daughter has been there since just before her first birthday and is now getting ready to start school — it’s been a really positive experience. The staff have been fantastic every step of the way, and it’s been a joy to watch her grow, learn, and thrive in their care. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more or wished for better.

Amazing nursery…better (by a country mile) than all four others that we viewed locally. My son has made excellent progress, the staff are kind, considerate, professional and caring. Couldn’t wish for a better place for him to spend his early years. The communication app is regularly updated so you can see what they’ve been up to throughout the day. They have lovely balanced home made meals. The staff really “know” the children and my son has had a great bond with staff members in each of the rooms he’s been in. Would wholly recommend and will miss the nursery when it is time for him to go school. If I could give more than 5 stars I would ***********************
