We have since moved from London to Bristol, our son still talks about popcorn and the staff, how much he loved going there and how much he wants to go back and visit every time we’re back in London. It truly is a special nursery, run by people who genuinely care for, and care about, the young people they have in their care. Topped off with the fact it is in the most beautiful setting. If we were still in the area we would send our daughter to popcorn in a heartbeat. A big thank you to the staff for having such a positive and lasting impact on our son. You really do do incredible work Read on Google (https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xSR2VXMU9kakZQVG1aclZrNDVUVGd4Y0RkV1NsRRAB!2m1!1s0x48761919ccddb171:0x9baa6f562389be5f) James C a year ago Can't recommend Popcorn Nursery enough. Our daughter is so happy here and you can tell how much the staff care. A relatively low number of children means our daughter gets significantly more attention compared to more formal preschools we also considered. In addition, they are always flexible to last minute schedule adjustments and are at a very fair price point compared to others in the area. They have clearly upped their game since the recent Ofsted inspection, investing in new play areas and providing more detailed reports. We are definitely sending our younger daughter as soon as she is old enough.

They are clearly passionate about the job they do. My child and nephew have been attending Popcorn Nursery for around 15 months. At first she was anxious as were we, but the staff have built a great rapor with all the kids, parents, carers and clearly know the needs of each and every child and have their best interests and development at heart. There are a good mixture of male and female staff. A few staff have moved on (natural progression!) but are replaced by equally qualified and suited people. Never had any issues whatsoever and feel confident our newborn will love them too when he's old enough!
