Best friend's nursery is amazing, I would highly recommend it to everyone. They take care of kids and monitor their growth very closely. The nursery team is very efficient and humble. My daughter loves the staff. Jen, Kelly, Helen, Lyndsey, Wendy, and all the guys (sorry I don't know their name) but they all are very nice. There are so many activities they don't have on a weekly basis. Thank you for supporting us.

I worked as Nursery assistant in best friends day, and I loved the way the children are treated always with love and care. All the staff are so nice, and babies are in the best hands. Lots of activities and fun. Unfortunately, I moved back home, and I must leave them sooner than I expected.

Having experienced a range of nurseries and childminders over the years, I can confidently say that Best Friends is an excellent childcare provider. Most importantly, my child is always happy (and often excited) to go there, and experiences something new and enriching every day. The staff are creative with how they approach play, and keep parents informed about activities via an app at least once a day. The food is great quality and prepared on site by their in-house chef. The staff our friendly and professional. The outside space is not huge, but is well-used, including for gardening/plant growing in the warmer months. Throughout the year, the space is supplemented (for the pre-school class) by use of the forest and fields at the adjacent primary school.

Fantastic family-run nursery. My Son has been attending for 10 months and loves it here. The staff are easy to talk to and very attentive with the children; the majority are long-standing staff with children of their own. They involve the children and their families as much as possible and support other local businesses. I love that they have an open-door policy so you can turn up for any issues but be mindful of nap times. My Son has dietary requirements, and they went above and beyond to meet his needs. I also had regular catchups once he was on the ladders to reinduce these foods.

I have had both my children; one is now 20 and the other is now 7 and they both absolutely loved it. I couldn't recommend it enough.

I highly recommend Best Friends. The staff team present themselves as warm and dedicated professionals. The nursery benchmarks their practice against national standards to ensure they are offering the very best for the children. The environment is creative and inclusive, where children have fun and thrive.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you and everyone at Best Friends for your child centered approach in looking after the children in your nursery, especially my son JP.

JP loves his time at the nursery and eagerly looks forward to each day. He always talks about his friends Jojo, Oliver and Joe. It is wonderful to see how much he has grown in his understanding and speech. I also appreciate how the teachers attentively listen to and engage with the children, which is evident every time I pick him up.

Thank you once again for your relentless efforts in providing the best care for our children.

Just an email to say a massive thank you for everything you do for Rudi. He has come on so much with the support of the nursery. He absolutely loves it there and he is always exited to come and see all his friends.

His speech has come on great following his SALT therapy and the support of staff in preschool. Thank you for recognising that he may need therapy as it allowed us to refer him sooner and get him the help he needed.

The selection of the meals he has during his time there, you can tell a lot of thought has gone into knowing what the children need nutrition wise, and Rudi always says how tasty his meals are.

The variety of activities available for the children is amazing, from forest school to learning to ‘cook’ with Jake.

You can tell the staff really care about the children and it gives me comfort knowing Rudi feels safe there. I did not hesitate to register Rudi's little sister Eden who will be joining Best Friends in January 2026 as I wouldn't want to send her anywhere else.

Thank you for everything

I am writing to share my thoughts on Best Friends Nursery as I am unable to meet with you in person during your visit.

As a parent, I could not ask for a more enriching and caring environment for my child. The nursery feels like an extension of our family, providing a setting where my little girl is truly thriving. Every activity is planned with such thought and consideration for each individual child, ensuring that their needs, interests, and abilities are supported and nurtured.

Personally, I have felt incredibly guided by the team, especially as I have a strong-willed and sometimes challenging child. The support I have received has been invaluable, and I always feel reassured knowing she is in such capable hands. The nursery’s proactive approach has sparked a real love for learning in my daughter-her colour, number and letter recognition are developing beautifully, and she is engaged and curious about everything around her.

Communication between the nursery and parents is excellent. The app provides regular updates, but beyond that, I have daily interactions with the team at drop- off and pick-up. If there is ever something they feel I should be aware of, they always make the time to speak with me. This open and honest communication makes a real difference ad provides such reassurance.

My daughter has also built wonderful friendships with her peers and formed strong emotional bonds with the staff. She missed tremendously when we went on holiday, which speaks volumes about the warmth and care they provide each day. The team understands her emotional needs, recognizing her cues and responding with patience and understanding, helping her to feel safe and supported.

It is clear that the nursery continuously invests in it’s space and resources to enhance the children’s experiences. What stands out the most is the warmth and dedication of the entire staff team. Every member of staff knows my child, even those who do not work in her room, and they always take the time to engage with her. The sense of connection and genuine care is what makes this setting so special.

Best Friends is a place where children flourish and parents feel truly supported. I am incredibly grateful for all they do.

I wanted to share some feedback regarding Best Friends Day Nursery and the care they provide for our daughter Rose Redfern.

Rose started at the nursery in April 2024 and the impact her attendance has had on her development is just wonderful to see. I've no doubt that the care she is provided with on a daily basis has helped build her confidence, develop her skills and has contributed in a significant way to her performing tasks ahead of her age bracket.

The staff are incredible. From the moment you walk in your're greeted with Wendy's smiling face and Rose is so happy to go to her keyworker Yasmin or room leader Andie. We are provided with comprehensive updates of how her day has gone, how she's slept and eaten and what activities she's taken part in. The pictures clearly show a happy, confident little girl who adores the staff. The parents' evening where we has a detailed one-to-one session with Yasmin was fantastic and the attention to Rose's development was so reassuring.

While we've had minimal concerns with Rosie's care, whenever anything has been raised such as missing clothes, it is dealt with promtly and professionally.

Handing over your baby to anyone is a nerve wracking thing to do, bit I know that Rose is in the best hands during her time at Best Friends and that is testament to the hard work of the whole team and the nuturing enviroment they're creating.
