Poppies Day Nursery Aldershot

Poppies is a wonderful nursery, so welcoming, warm and homely for the children. My 1 year old runs in every morning without even glancing back at me ha! Clare is a great manager and very approachable. Jane and Lily in the baby room are so wonderful and kind, I always know he is going to be well looked after with them and get plenty of play and cuddles! Theresa is also absolutely fantastic and so great with the children. He is always so happy when I go to collect him, Ive never had any concerns and can relax when he is there knowing he is well looked after :)

My son started at Poppies back in July a couple of days a week. At first look the children's surroundings and toys are excellent. It felt like home when we walked in and it was just what we wanted for our little boy. He was so excited to go for the first 2 weeks but then the terrible twos and realisation came for him. Everyone had a long, rough road ahead. For the next few months every day Poppies were beyond amazing. They advised me every way they could to help transition my little boy. They would email, message, call and gave me a book so we could pass messages about his feelings from home to school and vice versa. From day one they supported my entire family. They go beyond just "looking after your kid" whilst you go to work. They truly care. They have so many different activities for the children. They give the children freedom to choose what they would like to do/play, so the children can grow as individuals. They also use tapestry which I love. I get to check up on my son throughout the day. I get to see what he's eaten and what he's been doing. It's so reassuring for me to be able to have that at my fingertips. It was a really hard transition for me to go back to work and I was all my son knew but now Poppies is becoming so much more for my son. He's getting excited to go to school and has made friends. He asks after staff and the other children which goes to show much much time and effort they have put into my son to go from never wanting to leave me to "school? School? School?" There is so much more I could write about how the team have helped me and my family but the review only let's you write so much! I would recommend Poppies nursery 1000 times over!

One of the best nursery around the area. Very professional and friendly staff. Specially, Trisha and Carly. Great thoughtful setup, " The Curiosity Approach" for early learning and skills development. My child cannot stop talking about how much fun nursery is. Highly recommend anyone who is seeking peace of mind with child care and development.

Our 3 year old started going to Poppies in September and loves it. She spends two government funded mornings there but frequently asks when she can go again. The staff are very welcoming and dedicated to caring for the children. There are plenty of activates to occupy her: dress up, messy play, singing, counting, reading, to name but a few. We like the fact that Poppies use Tapestry so we can see what, and how much, she has been eating and, from time to time, they add pictures to show what activities she has been doing. She would love even more children to play with :)
