What parents say about us

Two stylized light blue icons resembling rotated 'b's or '6's with scribbled interiors on a black background.
In September 2017, our firstborn started at Brambley Cottage. Eight years and three children later, we’re still with the most amazing team—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. As a new mum, I had no idea what to look for in a nursery for our little six-month-old baby. I began with Ofsted reports, but from the moment Brambley welcomed us to meet them, it just felt right. The support we received from the very beginning—from settling sessions and regular app updates to answering all our questions—helped ease us into this new chapter.

From the moment we walked through the doors of Brambley Cottage, we knew it was something truly special. It’s not just a place where our daughter learns and plays — it’s a second home filled with warmth, laughter, and the most caring, dedicated staff we could have hoped for. The love and attention each child receives is beyond anything we imagined. Every day, we see our daughter grow in confidence, curiosity, and joy.

I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible care and attention my daughter receives at Brambley. The team truly know her like a family member, creating a warm and welcoming environment where she feels loved and valued. The amount of enrichment and activities provided is outstanding, fostering her curiosity and creativity in ways I never imagined.

I was so anxious leaving Sophia on her first day, the staff were so kind and considerate of my feelings and I received a message on the Famly app with a happy photo of Soph before I even got home. The little care package I was given was so super sweet and our first day apart was definitely made easier by the staff responding to my messages and the updates I got throughout the day.

Being a first time mum I wasn't sure what to expect from a nursery, equally I wasn’t sure what to expect of the full process, my child’s development stages, how to support them through it, learning, weaning, and Bramley and the lovely ladies who looked after Harrison helped me through it all. It feels so much more than a nursery but a community of ladies that help you with your child’s development and happiness.

Delilah absolutely loves coming to Brambley Cottage! She has thrived since starting nursery, as a parent there’s nothing better than knowing your child is cared for and having so much fun! Ever since her first day, she runs in with so much confidence and excitement to be there. The staff at Brambley are amazing and I wouldn’t want to send our little girl anywhere else!

We knew from our very first visit to Brambley just how special it is. The staff are incredibly caring, creative and attentive, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. We couldn’t be happier with the support and care they provide, it really does feel like a second home. Most importantly we love how content and happy our son is with the staff.

As a first time parent you always worry when it comes to nursery and trusting other people to care for your baby/child, but after looking around the environment I knew it was the right place for us. I left on the first drop off in tears but returned with donuts for everyone for looking after him and sending constant updates reassuring me.

Our experience has been nothing but amazing. All the staff are wonderful, attentive and treat our girls like they are their own. The amount of support we have received has been perfect. You can really see the amount of effort, time and dedication that goes into looking after the children and it shows within our girls on a daily basis.

From the moment I was shown around the nursery and met the wonderful staff, I felt completely at ease about my son starting there at just 8 months old. On his first day, I was even given a little gift bag with tissues and a tea bag; such a thoughtful touch that meant so much. My son has made lovely friendships at nursery and always comes home full of stories and smiles.

My little boy started at Brambley Cottage Nursery when he was just 10 months old, and now, a year on, we couldn’t be happier. From the very first induction, every step of the journey has been filled with care, thoughtfulness, and genuine warmth. The team are incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the day-to-day communication on the Famly app and in person gives me such peace of mind.

My baby has been at Brambley for a month now. I have seen such a difference in him in one month. He has learnt so many new skills, I’m so proud of him and Brambley Cottage has clearly given him so much more confidence. The app they use is brilliant, it’s provided me with so much reassurance to see my baby having a great day, doing lots of different activities and showing me what he’s eaten and when he’s napped.

Without a doubt, Brambley Cottage is absolutely the best nursery. My son was shy when he started and would get upset at drop off but the staff are all so encouraging and welcoming and really helped to settle him. Now he's the most confident little boy who just runs into the room. The staff go above and beyond when organising fun, engaging and creative activities that each child is interested in.

I instantly knew when I was shown around Brambley Cottage when pregnant it was where I wanted our little boy to spend his first years. All of the staff go above and beyond to make sure they all have the best experience on their nursery days. Every day is packed with fun filled and educational activities. Rui has the best time at nursery and loves all of the staff.

From day one, the staff have been absolutely amazing, they are caring, attentive and really take onboard how you want your child looking after. The activities they offer are engaging and fun, and it’s clear that a lot of thought goes into making each day enriching for the children.
