Our little boy has been with Brambley Hedge for around 4 months now and loves it. Sally was really helpful taking us through the process of settling in etc and continues to help with any questions we have. Alison, Rachel and Kim are brilliant with our little one and he is happy to see them when we go for drop offs now. The location is great and plenty of activities for them all to keep them entertained. The food is particularly good with a great array of meals and they have been very accomodating with dairy allergies for us offering similar alternatives to the main menu.

Our daughter loves her nursery. The staff are very friendly and caring. The regular updates on the app keep you informed of what your child has been up to and meal and nap times. Our daughter quickly settled. She also loves the large outdoor space.

The staff and team manager are really friendly. They supported me and my little boy with starting nursery. The team are always approachable and no question is ever too much for them. The oudoor facilities are fantastic. When the weather is bad they take them out in the trolley bus or under cover play which is really important to me. The activities are really varied and entertaining for the baby. The menu is exceptional and lots of DF options healthy and varied. I couldn’t recommend this nursery more. The baby room team are amazing 😊

Our little girl has had the best time at the nursery and pre school. The staff are fantastic- so caring and knowledgeable around development. She has been there since she was under 1 and the teams in each room have been brilliant. The classrooms and gardens are gorgeous. The hours are also really good for when you are working. I'm so pleased we chose this setting.

An Absolutely Wonderful Nursery Experience at Partou Brambley Hedge! Our experience with Partou Brambley Hedge Day Nursery & Pre-school in Tarporley has been nothing short of five-star! From the moment we first visited, we were struck by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the genuine care shown by every member of staff. It truly feels like a home away from home for the little ones. The facilities are fantastic – bright, clean, and filled with engaging activities that clearly spark joy and learning in the children. Our little one has thrived here, developing so much in confidence and making wonderful new friends. The range of activities on offer, from creative play to their amazing outdoor space, ensures there's never a dull moment. We're consistently impressed by how much they manage to get our child to eat too! What truly sets Partou Brambley Hedge apart, however, is the dedicated and passionate team. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing and stimulating environment. Communication is excellent, often through their new app, and we always feel informed about our child's day and progress. It's clear they truly love what they do, and that enthusiasm is infectious. The baby room staff, in particular, were so welcoming and made settling in a breeze. We couldn't recommend Partou Brambley Hedge highly enough to any parents in the Tarporley area. Leaving your child in someone else's care is a big step, but with this team, you can do so with complete peace of mind. Thank you for everything you do!
