The inspector observed the quality of education during activities, both indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.
My little one has been at Brooklyn for around a year and it's been such a fab year. As a first time mum, I was highly anxious about my little one going to nursery but from the start the staff were amazing and so caring. When we've had concerns around little one's development, they've helped us and carried on with any exercises. When little one was on a big medication regime, the staff took it in their stride and supported her to take her meds. When little one would only eat vegetable chilli from Brooklyn, they wrote me down their recipe for me to make at home! I completely trust the staff at Brooklyn to look after my little one, it's such a supportive and nurturing environment. You can tell in conversation how much they care for the little ones - all the staff know all of the children's names (even when they're in a different group!). The culture and environment are warm and inviting. My little one loves Brooklyn and gets so excited to go to nursery!
Read on GoogleBrooklyn Day Nursery is truly outstanding. The staff are exceptional and consistently go above and beyond in everything they do. They are knowledgeable, caring, friendly, and wonderfully engaging with the children. The setting itself is beautiful, nestled in the woodlands, which makes it even more special. An amazing nursery that we couldn’t recommend highly enough and wouldn’t send our girls anywhere else.
Read on GoogleOur little boy has been attending Brooklyn Day Nursery since 2023, THE BEST FOREST SCHOOL THERE IS! Their values, enthusiasm and care are nothing but amazing! I cannot thank the staff enough for nurturing our little boy! I always feel piece of mind when he is there, the staff on on hand to answer questions (daft as you may feel they are!) or offer any advice if necessary, they respond to messages on the app quickly and even more importantly our little boy loves going, he chats about the staff and his friends he has made. We'll be very sad when he leaves for school next year.
Read on GoogleMy little boy has been with Brooklyn for almost a year now and I have been blown away by the love, care and creativity of every single staff member ❤️ The team get to know your children as if they were their own, their interests and individual temperaments are nurtured and as parents we have felt seen, heard and supported throughout all the different development stages our little one has journeyed through so far. It is really important to us as a family to have lots of time spent outdoors and I’m so happy that the toddlers are out almost everyday doing fun activities playing in nature, getting muddy and encouraged to explore and be be curious about the world. Rainy days bring lots of crafts and tactile activities and we have a beautiful collection of paintings, crafts and pictures where our little boy has been exploring different themes and topics through creative activities. As a mum who was so nervous to be sending my little one to nursery a couple of days a week to now I feel this has been one of the best decisions we ever made as a family - he adores the staff and the other toddlers in his group, he talks about them at home, the activities stay with him and he will tell me about his day and what he has been up to. ‘Cheryl park’ is his favourite thing to tell me about and I just love hearing what he’s been excited about and wants to share with us. Thank you Brooklyn for everything you do x
Read on GoogleWe cannot thank all the staff enough for the warm welcome they’ve shown to me and my family. Our daughter absolutely loves going to the nursery, which speaks volumes. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. Thank you team Brooklyn ❤️
