Archfield House Nursery and Preschool - Bristol

Both our daughters (10 months and 2 years) currently attend Archfield and we've been delighted by the care they've both received from day one. The staff are all really experienced and have lots of fab expertise with early years education. We've been so impressed with the feedback we've received as well as the regular parent information evenings on offer. All their keyworkers have been so conscientious and dedicated. I really feel like each one has gone out of their way to accommodate their individual needs. When I pick them up I always get the sense that the staff know our girls so well and really care about them. It is always such a happy place to walk into. My eldest has struggled a bit with shyness (lockdown baby...) and the staff have given her so much support in building her confidence as well as giving me a huge amount of feedback.

The curriculum and facilities are great I love the nursery's focus on reading and emotional literacy. They've also got a truly spectacular outdoor play area. The food is great (probably the only time anyone gets my eldest to eat vegetables all week...) and I get loads of feedback on their eating and activities each day.

We've been so glad we chose Archfield for our girls and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.

This is a wonderful nursery! My child has been there for a few years now and I cannot fault it at all. My child is really happy there, and has developed a sense of independence, kindness and curiosity thanks to the amazing staff. It just feels like a great big happy family each time I step in. They have a great outside space which you wouldn't have expected just looking from the outside, with lots of equipment and space for all sorts of open ended play, and children are encouraged to play outside as much as they like/ is possible. There is a great focus on child led development and learning through play, and also excellent parent engagement and communication. Would highly recommend Archfield House!

Very happy with our decision to send our daughter to Archfield (attending for over a year now). I love the setting - nice bright open rooms, huge and varied outdoor space and away from busy roads. There has always been a lovely, warm atmosphere. Staff are dedicated, knowledgeable and happy to discuss any Q's or issues we might have, v supportive. They try hard to support our daughter's second language. They also hold webinars and evenings on things like behaviour, food etc. And it feels like a lovely little community in itself - we've made some friends with other parents via extra events the nursery has organised (beach days, Christmas events etc.). Most importantly, our daughter is happy and clearly learning so much. She comes home with new language and habits that haven't come from us! And she trots off to nursery very happy most of the time. No hesitation in sending our son when he's a bit older.

Both of our boys have attended Archfield (from 10 months old through to pre-school) over the last 6 years and have thrived there, we cannot fault it! The staff are caring, get to know the children as individuals and really feel like part of the family. The variety of activities on offer is outstanding.

Our eldest’s school have commented on how confident, self-assured and kind children from Archfield are when they start in reception. Would thoroughly recommend Archfield.

Both my children (now aged 6 and 4) have been, or go, to Archfield. We’ve been so happy we found it. In fact, I knew the second we walked in the door (having looked round various other nurseries) that it was where I wanted my children to go to nursery. The staff are their biggest asset - from the fantastic management team to the wonderful chef and to everyone in between. My children have flourished under Archfield’s care and love their Archfield family, and I feel so grateful for the amazing Archfield community that we are now part of.

I could not be happier that we chose Archfield to look after our daughters. From the very first few weeks we have felt welcomed and nurtured by all the staff. The managers are very present and involved and seem to know each and every one of the children.
The needs of each individual child is recognised and the system is altered to suit each child.
As a working mum, suffering from extreme 'mum guilt', to know that your baby is being cuddled, nurtured and cared for so wonderfully is priceless.
I could not recommend this nursery more highly.

Archfield is a WONDERFUL nursery. We were recommended it by an early years education specialist and we’ve never looked back. The staff are second to none - creative, caring and insightful. We can’t fault it and will send our second child there without hesitation.

All the staff at Archfield house have been incredible. I knew during the first time we visited during our ‘show around’ our daughter would be in safe and loving hands. Everyone has been really friendly and supportive during our daughter’s settling period, making a challenging time much easier. Thank you so much.
