I moved my 18 month old to this nursery in September and I cannot express how happy I am with the care and activities offered. We have felt welcomed from day one, staff are always really positive and give a good hand over. The app is frequently updated throughout the day. One of the key reasons for moving our son to this nursery was because of the learning through nature aspect. My son has been on trips to the park, to the library and to the history museum. He loves the garden and all the sensory/messy play activities that are set up in the extra curricular room. He has also enjoyed coming home and showing us his yoga moves. We're very happy with all aspects of this nursery.
Read on GoogleSuch a lovely nursery. I was really worried about my 2.5 year old starting nursery, but they have been amazing. All the staff are lovely and helpful. The app sends you updates on details such as what meals they have had, how much they've eaten, nappy changes, trips and photo updates. They are great at encouraging potty training. My daughter looks forward to going to nursery and often doesn't want to come back with me after I pick her up, which is such a positive sign in showing she enjoys it (she is usually very clingy).
Read on GoogleI love everything about this nursery! As someone with a background in education and early years education, I've been incredibly impressed with their approach to creating a nurturing, supportive environment that supports healthy development. I don't think any other nursery in the area likely comes close to this standard, from the numerous updates and field trips to the ukulele lessons, professional photographer coming in, parent events, incredible professionally cooked food, and of course all the very dedicated staff... We feel so lucky to have found Eden!
Read on GoogleWe have been absolutely blown away by every aspect of Eden Early Years nursery since my son started attending at the beginning of May. Our lively 3-year-old boy, who has delayed speech and struggles to articulate himself, has truly thrived in this wonderful environment. Having experienced multiple childcare settings in Bristol, I can honestly say that Eden Early Years is by FAR the best nursery we have encountered. We travel from Staple Hill to Filton but I honestly would travel double that distance to make sure we could attend. The team at Eden Early Years are simply amazing. Their passion and dedication to the children's outcomes and happiness are evident in everything they do and they are so friendly and kind. Many of the staff have their own children at the nursery, which speaks volumes about their trust and confidence in the care provided. The admin team and directors are also a pleasure to deal with, always approachable and supportive. If you're considering Eden Early Years, I would highly recommend booking a tour—you'll be as impressed as we were. The nursery is amazing and has clearly had so much thought and care go into the planning of it. The garden is creatively designed for outdoor use in all weather conditions. The children can use the mud kitchens, sand pits, and water play. Inside, the nursery is over three carefully designed floors, offering a calm, safe, and creative space filled with lovely wooden toys and activities. We find the nursery's app system to be great, providing just the right amount of updates without being overwhelming. Since opening, they have organized multiple trips to places like Wild Place and Blaise Castle, where the children explore nature and learn about animals and bugs. I cannot express enough how impressed we are with Eden Early Years. A huge thank you to the entire team for creating such a loving and nurturing environment. Knowing that my child is treated with love and care has relieved so much stress. My son literally bounds into the nursery each morning and leaves just as happy, hugging the staff as leaves. The bonds they have created with him are wonderful, and we don't know what we would do without you all! Thank you for everything Charlie, Ollie & Jagger
Read on GoogleMy son has been at the nursery just over a year, we are so happy with the staff, the food, his routines and activities. I would recommend the nursery to any person looking for day care.
