Marmalade has provided a thriving environment for both my girls to flourish. They provide a loving comforting home from home that gives the children the chance to explore and learn. Their dedication is second to none. The go the extra mile with extras curricular activities and tasks for the children to do. Chrissy cooks up fantastic meals for the children to enjoy which are nutritious and delicious. They get such a varied menu allowing them to explore their tastes and definitely helps to expand the menu at home. We can’t thank them enough for all they’ve done for our girls.

We’ve had two children attend over the past seven years, and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. The environment is incredibly supportive, with a wonderful balance of learning and fun that has helped both of our children grow in confidence and ability.
The staff are always attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. It’s clear how much effort goes into making every child feel supported and encouraged. We’ve always felt reassured knowing our children are in such capable hands.
We would highly recommend them to any family looking for a nurturing and engaging place for their children.

We’re so happy we chose this nursery for Harry. From the very start the team have been so welcoming and caring, and they helped him settle in straight away. It means so much to know he’s happy and well looked after while I’m at work, and the regular updates during the day always put my mind at ease. We’re really grateful for the wonderful care and support they give him.
Thanks,

Marmalade is honestly the most amazing place! My daughter (now 8) went there from being a baby until starting school, (at one point we moved away and I used to drive 45min there and back because I wouldn’t go anywhere else!) and she had the most amazing time. Made special friendships to last and they help helped her grow so much, from learning to read / write to her social skills. My little boy goes there now - he’s waiting by the door with his bag and his shoes on so excited to go in the mornings!! The staff and owners are so special and we are so grateful to them. Would highly recommend to anyone. The best nursery around xxx

My little girl started at Marmalade just a couple of months ago but we’re so happy with how well she has settled in & she has the best time there! She comes out so happy & excited to tell us about all the exciting things she gets up to! The staff are absolutely lovely & the nursery itself is beautiful, clean & very well run!

Our son Alfie, now 3½, has attended Marmalade Nursery since he was one year old, and we have been extremely pleased with the care and professionalism shown throughout that time.
From the moment we first walked in, we knew Marmalade was the right place for him. The staff are always professional, well presented, and very reassuring, which gave us confidence from the start. It has been wonderful to see how much Alfie has grown in confidence and independence during his time there.
Katie and Sarah in the management team have always been approachable and supportive whenever we have had any questions or concerns. We would also like to give a special mention to Chrissie, the chef, who provides the children with a great variety of nutritious and tasty meals.
The staff are very creative with the activities they organise and often take the children out to explore the local community, which Alfie really enjoys. We are very grateful to the whole Marmalade team for the care and dedication they show every day.

All three of my children have attended Marmalade and I am so happy with our choice. The staff are all lovely, and it is great that they have very low staff turnover as the same staff have often cared for all my children. The communication is great, the daily activities are all so thoughtful and engaging for the children and I love all the amazing gifts we get for special occasions and times of year. I’ve never had any anxiety around leaving my children in their care and feel like the staff genuinely love the children and take an interest in them. Would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to any parents (and regularly do!)

Absolutely fantastic nursery, literally don’t have a single criticism. Owners and staff are first class. My son gives every indication he feels the same.
