Evaluations from Professionals to the nursery...

"It was good to see that all the children seemed to get involved and I think that is testament to the great atmosphere created in the nursery by the staff." October 2017

"How important the Christian aspect is in teaching the children in the nursery." October 2017

"This is the kind of nursery I would love to send my own children to. The children were all so happy, polite and being perfectly prepared for school. The staff are all brilliant with the children." September 2017

Professional students visiting nursery...

"I had a great time interacting with the staff and children. Definitely learnt a lot as well. Watching how kind the carers are to each child. Interacting with children aged 2-4 yrs old and developing a relationship in a short period of time. Children are more capable at being independent than I had imagined. Don't underestimate a child within one age group because they're all different." October 2018

"I have had some really great experiences with the children and wish I could stay longer." October 2017

"I like how well behaved the children are and how they know how to take turns with each other." October 2017

"From a medical student perspective, it was perfect opportunity to assess a child's development - seeing how a child's gross motor, fine motor, speech, language and communication skills have developed in comparison with their peers and at what stage of development in these areas they are expected to have achieved by their age." September 2017

Testimonials 2021 written by parents

"(Child’s name) has thrived during his time at your setting. It has been the perfect place for him to find his confidence away from home. He is more than ready for school and his learning has certainly prepared him well.

Thank you for being there throughout the pandemic and keeping everyone safe.

"... We couldn’t be happier with our choice to send her to your nursery, she has loved every minute of it and was excited for every new day she attended. You have done an amazing job at ensuring things have remained as normal as possible, and as safe as possible for al the children during such a challenging year, something we are extremely grateful for...

There really are no words to express how grateful we are to you. You have shown such patience, love and kindness to both our children for the last few years and we cannot thank you enough.

I couldn’t ask for better care, fun and dedication than they have received whilst at BCN and the skills they have learned over the years are ones they will keep for life. You are all amazing.

"We can’t thank you enough for all the love and support you’ve all shown …… throughout the years. We couldn’t have sent ... to a better nursery, thank you.

Excellent range of stimulating activities provided. the children are always happy and busy, good balance between indoors and outdoors. Excellent communication from staff generally and especially during Covid Pandemic.

BCN is a fantastic early years setting. The staff go above and beyond for the children. There is always excellent resources, activities and opportunities to help the children progress. Areas for development are clearly communicated and the children are given the best preparation for school. Thank you.

Overall we are very pleased with the education and care offered. Our daughter is happy and is enjoying all that is provided to her.

My child gets the best quality care at BCN and I am confident they are equipping her with all the skills she will need for starting school later this year as well as basic life skills which are invaluable.

Thank you for your support through this tough year for the children and families going through this pandemic. You have been the shining light in our daily lives providing so much stability and fun.

Staff have been absolutely incredible working under such difficult circumstances. No matter what, they are friendly, supportive and go above and beyond to care for children and their families.
