What Our Parents Say

"St Bernards Day Nursery is the most amazing nursery! We looked around five locally, but nowhere else gave us that 'this is the one' feeling like St Bernards did. Our oldest daughter attended from 11-months to starting school in 2020, and our youngest daughter has attended for the last 10-months. The 

staff are fantastic, caring, passionate, and they always have time for the children. It's a real home from home. They supported the children brilliantly through the pandemic, opened up for keyworker families from other local nurseries, and they've also gone above and beyond when needed, especially when our family were struck by tragedy. They are an extension of your family, and we feel sad just thinking about the time when our daughter leaves to start school. We have no hesitation in recommending St Bernards and always do when somebody asks."

"As a first time mum, I was apprehensive about leaving my daughter at a nursery. Would she enjoy it, how would I feel, what would it be like. The same questions and thoughts which every parent must start with. My partner and I looked at nurseries for what seemed like forever until we saw St Bernards! 

Wow! My thoughts then, and still my thoughts now. It’s like home from home. The staff there, my daughter's aunties, are just like her extended family. She’s only 13-months-old, but seeing her face light up when they come to the door is just magical. It instantly relieves any fears or mum guilt I have leaving her. She’s learnt so much since being there, and her development and interaction with other children is great to see. Each evening she comes home from nursery, I notice something else she has learnt. Dancing to music, using cutlery, wiping her own mouth, clapping hands. I can’t thank the aunties more at the nursery. My daughter loves going! If you are looking for a second home - look no further."

"I am a first-time parent and felt very anxious about returning back to work and putting my entire world into the hands of someone else. St Bernard's made this transition so much easier. They have such kind and caring staff. I have seen positive changes in my little one already, only a few weeks in, and he has settled so well and gained more confidence. I love the app, especially when I am having a bad day; it gives me such reassurance and peace of mind knowing he is in safe hands. Would highly recommend."

"Our little boy has loved nursery from the day he started which is a testament to the brilliant staff who care for him so well and who have added so much to his development. They are always planning fun activities to add to his learning, as well as keeping us updated on what he's been up to with the regular updates on the app. As a parent I have always felt supported and the measures they put in place during the pandemic have been faultless. Would one hundred percent recommend St Bernards Day Nursery Ltd to anyone!"

"My daughter has attended nursery since she was 9 months old, and she's now 3. She enjoys nursery and is excited to get out of the car and go in each morning. My eldest (now 6) attended St Bernards from 9 months until she went to school. She has many fond memories of her time at nursery and will often come in as I drop her sister off, to see the aunties and have a cuddle. I cannot fault St Bernards. The level of care and consideration given to the children is second to none. The staff are well informed, and always happy to help. My children enjoy/have enjoyed nursery immensely and play at nurseries/being aunties when at home together. Fantastic setting for young children!"

"Our daughter has been attending the nursery for nearly a year now and her development has been astonishing to watch! 
The caring nature of all staff continually puts us at ease and the communication between the nursery and home life is superb. 
She has recently moved to the toddler’s room and the transition has been smooth and sensitive, focused on her needs and ours as parents. 
Our daughter enjoys her time at the nursery so much so we have asked for an additional day as we believe the impact on her development and social skills has been fantastic."
 – Billie W.
"I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough. The level of planning in activities, the craft ideas and preparation into making them and getting them ready for the children to make. The outdoor area is brilliant and so perfect for little people to go out, run around on the grass, play with pets, get fresh air and use the variety of outdoor toys and games. The staff are amazing, so confident in what they do, and go out of their way to tell you a rundown of the day for the individual child. They ask questions about what my son does at a weekend/over Christmas, new foods he likes, new words he uses. So detailed and this allows the transition between home and nursery to feel seamless. Brilliant setting!"
– Charlotte H.
"This nursery is a true gem and I can not recommend it highly enough. 
Both my children have attended this nursery for 3 years. 
My youngest child has complex health and learning needs, and the nursery has gone above and beyond to help him; they have attended specialist-training sessions, arranged specialist equipment, taken part in multidisciplinary meetings with him and even learnt Makaton! 
The care and kindness in this nursery is simply wonderful. Thank you!"
