My child has been at Culham nursery since they were 9 months old and has absolutely loved their time here. The communication from staff is wonderful and they work with us to ensure our child gets everything they need. Their development has come on leaps and bounds and they are so excited to go into nursery each day. The main appeal for us with the nursery was all of the time we were told the children spend outside, which is exactly what has happened. We have a very outdoorsy child, so this was very important to us. We also love the variety of food offered and know our child is getting freshly cooked, nutritious meals. I couldn't recommend this nursery more.

My son was on a waiting list and after a few months a space became available. We stated we were keen to take the space and fully flexible on days and start date. We mentioned our son had recently been diagnosed with global developmental delays. After this, the space was suspiciously gone within 24 hours of our visit when we returned with completed forms / deposit as we had agreed at the visit only the day before. 12 months later we are still on the waiting list. I'm sure we will be on the waiting list indefinitely as this nursery obviously discriminates against disabled children. Shocking and completely illegal.

A really amazing nursery and so glad we picked it. Our son Billy absolutely loves going and has thrived since starting there. He has some development delays and the staff have been really keen to learn how they can help him overcome them and you can tell they really care about the children that go there. They don’t use fancy apps to give you updates but at the end of each day the staff are always able to tell you how his day has been and what he has been up to. Really can’t recommend them highly enough!

A really outstanding nursery and pre-school, I feel so fortunate that my daughter has gotten such a great start there. This place is a real treasure, made so by the amazing team who are all so caring, professional, kind and thoughtful. They always run such enriching and fun activities, the facilities are excellent, and they have a large outdoor playground with large trees for shade. My daughter has been there from 1-4 years, and she has been excited for every day, and made so many wonderful friends and memories. I highly recommend this nursery and preschool!
