My son has attended brooklands from 10 months old and it's a wonderful, warm environment that has fostered his confidence, social skills, curiosity and he learns so much. The staff are excellent and I could not recommend them highly enough! The vast outdoor area has served as a great place for sports days, bug hunts, a beach, and the usual climbing equipment. They also have a sensory room! He'll be very sad to leave for primary school in September but no other nursery could have prepared him as well as Brooklands have done. Your child is not just a number at this nursery and each individual is catered for as an individual, promoting their own interests while learning and playing. Couldn't have asked for better!
