It is amazing if you are a child to come here but not so sure about working here as a staff.

Both our daughters love Edith Rose Ascot. We particularly like the small group sizes and the great staff! We've seen huge progress in both the girls development, thanks in no small part to Edith Rose.

I adore this nursery and all the staff who work there. I started using them in April 2018 for my then 3 year old and 17 month old. I visited numerous nurseries before Edith Rose. I was immediately struck by how calm and homely the nursery felt. It is much smaller than all the others I had seen and because of this it means all the children get to know all the staff and become one big family. My eldest son started school in September 2019 and the staff did an excellent job to prepare him for this. My youngest son still goes there and will continue to do so until he starts school this September. He

Such an amazing nursery! They looked after both my boys over a 6 year period. Both my children have loved going everyday and built such great friendships with the staff and other children. It truly is a great place for your children to grow and develop before school.

Edith Rose is a place I left my son with no worries at all. They are a caring team and have imaginative play and learning. My son would regularly ask me to come back later as he wasn't ready to go home yet. Highly recommended.
