Institute in Reading

“Our kids love this nursery and we love it too! Everything is really well organised and things seem to run very well. It's a safe place- both physically and emotionally. Every member of staff (even in other parts of the nursery) know our children and give them a lot of care and attention. The location and facilities are incredible- our kids are outside so often and there is such a variety of things they can do indoors and outdoors. The information provided to parents is excellent and the nursery goes above and beyond to engage us. Over the two years we've had our children here, we have found no reason to complain about anything! We have two children at Chiltern. Our eldest joined at the age of 2, in Sep 2022 and went straight into the big kids' class (Bees). Our youngest was in the baby class for a year (Glastonbury) and is now in the bigger kids' class (Elizabeth). The staff at all three classes and the management have been brilliant the whole time. Our children are thriving here!”

“My son has just finished his nursery stage, and we truly can’t thank the entire team enough! We’re so grateful that his school journey began here. Every morning, he walks in happily and comes out even happier! Since joining, he’s grown into a confident and independent little boy with so many great habits. He’s benefited from a wide range of fun and diverse activities, and we’re constantly amazed by how much he has learned and grown. At home, he even practises writing his own name without being asked! The morning reading club has been especially amazing - it has nurtured a genuine love for books in him that we know will stay with him for years to come. This is the nursery we wholeheartedly recommend to all parents!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at First Place in Beaconsfield with both our children and highly recommend it. The staff are so caring and were especially helpful in supporting our daughter's transition to school. We were incredibly sad to leave and both children ask about their nursery teachers often!”

“My daughter has been at this nursery for just over two years, starting off in the baby room. While there have been some expected staff changes the care has consistently exceeded my high hopes. She is not only kept safe and well educated, but given all the affection she could want and loves going into nursery each weekday morning. It is an extremely positive, welcoming, and supportive environment and she loves having a close-knit set of peers to engage with. Every carer has been wonderful with her, there is a genuine concern for her well-being from them. Her key carers build very special relationships with her and us. The educational lessons vary widely from foreign languages to sports to practical cooking skills, and she has thrived under the high level of stimulation and learning. We initially felt very guilty leaving her there each workday but it has turned out to be the best thing to stimulate and develop her and give her the best possible preparation for formal schooling and life.”

“Was recommended by others from children attending years ago. All staff are so welcoming. Children’s needs are all met superbly. Love the community feel. My boy has settled in really well and always talks about pre-school.”

“Effective and appropriately varied teaching styles for different age groups and types of people.”

“My daughter loves KJ Theatre Arts. She takes classes in musical theatre and tap. She has progressed so much, she has taken LAMDA musical theatre and ISTD tap exams. The teachers are brilliant and she has made some lovely friends. Definitely recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Nice building, pretty old but well maintained gives the feeling that you are in a different historic era.”

“Great community at the Little Robins group. Very friendly and so much to do ,play and explore the outdoors and nature,for the children and the adults. My grandson and I so enjoy our time in the woods, whatever the weather!”

“I have lovely experience with this nursery. All Staff is really amazing , nice and polite especially mirela and vani …Very caring,warm and put extra effort into individual needs of every child. My daughter is loving going there every day. She feel super excited and having alot of fun in nursery…thank you so much for making my daughter comfortable in nursery”

“Can't recommend Norcot enough. The staff are so knowledgeable and kind and really care about the children. Both my boys love it there.”

“My daughter has been attending Pumpkin Patch for over 2 years now and she is so happy there. She has made some great friends and all of the staff are so nurturing and supportive. Everyone is very friendly and we have found both the key workers and the office admin team to be incredibly helpful. My daughter talks excitably about her days at pumpkin patch which are always full of fun, learning amd most importantly cuddles! Thankyou!”

“The staff and the administration are very friendly and helpful. Children and parents are very satisfied of the quality and the variation of the education process.”

“Really nice setting for preschool children with lots of activities, an outdoor play area and access to forest school where they can go exploring in the woodland area”

“Adele has taught me and my daughter for over 20 years. We have both reached Grade 8 but still enjoy our lessons, exploring new genres and perfecting old pieces. I am working towards my performance certificate but have had pleasure in joining her ensemble group and perform for care homes and charitable concerts. Adele is highly skilled, getting all her students to listen, explore dynamics and perform at a very high level. She regularly puts on pupil concerts so we can support and encourage each other in our musical performance journey. I have made some firm friendships through being a student with her. Can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Our children started attending monkeymoos day nursery, caversham branch in October this year. They love simply love it!!!! drop offs and pick ups are so much fun!!!! Honestly we couldn't have asked for a better caring nursery for our children- the staff are just incredible- Shanice, Gary, Fran are so professional and caring!!!! I would strongly recommend this particular nursery. During Covid crisis, they've kept our children Safe and yet happy:))”

“One of the best and secure day cares in Basingstoke”

“A wonderful nursery & preschool! Our daughter attended Bracknell BH from being in the baby room when she turned 1, and is now off to school aged nearly 5. She has absolutely loved her time here, and has never had a bad day. The garden is great, excellent food, lots of resources to play with and support with whatever she needs. Lastly, the staff are wonderful and are all so happy, with a very low staff turnover. Also so great to see two long term male staff members here! Management are great, always improving the setting and supporting their staff. We are sad to say goodbye as our daughter moves on to school, but recommend this setting to everyone.”
