Child development activities in Bedford

“Cannot fault this nursery at all! My son had to start at very short notice & they got him his settling in sessions and started nursery within 1 week. My son has loved being there and always went in happy, some days it was be try hard to get him out. The staff are amazing and you can really tell how much they care about the children. I would 100% recommend this nursery.”

“Very good nice little place for my grandson , he enjoyed thoroughly during stay for nearly a year before moving to school.”

“Very kind and helpful, great start to learning for kids!!”

“The team at Marston Day Nursery have been exceptional. Right from day one, their communication has been excellent, their vast knowledge of childcare across the team is very impressive. My son has settled so well here compared to another nursery and that’s because the team spent one on one time with him, made him feel he could play and express himself there and also allowed parents to be in the settling in sessions if needed. The nursery is furnished to a very high standard and has lots of toys to suit every child. They also often take trips outdoors and have an excellent garden for outside play. All the team are a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.”

“Our little one goes to Play2Learn, started off in baby room and now transitioned to pre-school. It’s a great setting with incredible staff. His key worker is brilliant! I would highly recommend it to parents looking for a nurturing setting for their little ones.”

“Our little boy has attended Puddleducks for the last 2 years and absolutely loves it! He is always so excited to go to nursery in the morning and comes home so happy and chatting away about all the fun things he has been up to! I was very anxious about sending our son to nursery, but the staff were absolutely amazing and made me feel so relaxed - I knew he was in safe hands! And it is lovely to receive photos every week to see what he has been up to throughout the day. Our little girl will be attending Puddleducks next year when I go back to work after maternity leave too - I wouldn’t want to send her anywhere else.”

“Have worked closely with both Jo and Mark for over a year now and find them both to be a pleasure to work with a fine eye to detail etc. If I lived in that area and required their services wouldn't hesitate to use them and from what i have seen of the nursery and what they do will happily recommend them. Keep up the good work!!!”

“Friendly, outgoing staff that do a fantastic job. They work very hard to achieve the best standards. This nursery is perfect for engaging the children with the environment. Lots of outdoor play and learning.”

“Friendly and engaged staff, great facilities and activities.”

“I was rather anxious leaving my daughter at nursery, this soon changed. The staff are always very friendly and supportive . My daughter always loves going to nursery and my husband always comments when she gets out of the car she kicks her feet with excitement of the start of her nursery day.”

“They are wonderful with my daughter. She loves going and has a lovely bond with Jade in particular. They have been great even though I have struggled with fees. On days like Valentine’s Day even though my daughter lives with my parents they always make sure she does a card for myself and my mother to take away. I have been really pleased with the nursery and am so glad we chose to send her there.”

“The team at Putnoe Woods Preschool are so lovely and helpful. They do an amazing job of looking after the kids and care for each one as an individual. So grateful for the care and attention given to my child each time he’s there.”
