WHERE THE MULBERRY
BUSH BEGAN
The Mulberry Bush wasn’t born in a boardroom – it began in a parent’s heart!
Our founder, Rachael and her husband, Oliver, wanted the best possible care for their own children. They searched high and low for a place that felt like a loving home but also offered the resources and expertise to help little ones thrive, but they couldn’t find what they were looking for.
Knowing that many other parents must be feeling the same, Rachael and Oliver sowed the seed for a nursery with a homely, caring, and nurturing environment that will allow children to grow and learn in safety and security, complemented by the highest quality and most current facilities available.
With that dream in mind, they sought out the very best team, people whose passion for children matched their own, and together, they built the Mulberry Bush!
“Over the years, we’ve grown and expanded, but one thing remains the same: our unwavering commitment to providing a nurturing space where children feel loved, learn through play, and get ready to shine.”
“Sienna’s time at the Mulberry Bush was truly exceptional. From the moment we stepped in, we felt at home. The staff’s attention to detail and delicious menu ensured Sienna thrived, even with her allergies. They guided us seamlessly through transitions, forming close bonds with Sienna and us. The sense of family and community is evident, with memorable seasonal fairs and a responsive management team. We highly recommend the Mulberry Bush for any parent seeking a nurturing environment where children flourish.”
“At the Mulberry Bush Nursery, the teamwork and interactions with the children are truly exceptional. Every staff member goes above and beyond, ensuring that nothing is too much trouble when it comes to the care and education of the children. The office communication is outstanding, providing parents with peace of mind and confidence in the nursery’s operations. It’s a wonderful environment where children thrive, thanks to the dedicated team and excellent communication channels.”
“I would like to say how amazing everyone has been with my daughter! She loves the nursery, and at home, she re-enacts the experiences from her days there. She loves walking up and down the stairs to the office and the Raspberries room. Thanks to the lovely staff, she is confident and can be herself and safely explore all of her emotions. Thanks to all the practitioners in the setting, she can count and recognise many letters. Even when she went through a tough phase, the ladies in Elderberries were there for her with a massive hug and smile. I am so grateful for all their hard work and dedication. I know I do not have to worry about her when she is at the Mulberry Bush.”
“We would like to express our warm thanks to the management team and to the team in the Cranberries room for the last couple of months. They have created an amazing atmosphere for our son and supported his development. We appreciate all of the efforts made.”
“I would just like to say a big thank you to the girls who have looked after my son and daughter. It’s been such a reassuring feeling to know that my most precious things have been so well looked after and have loved coming to you. The kids and I have been really lucky to have had Georgie, Sophie, Lauren, and Chloe throughout the time. They really are great girls and a credit to the Mulberry Bush.”
My son has been attending the Mulberry Bush for 3 full days a week since he was a year old and he is now 2 and a half. He has always enjoyed the range of activities he engages in at nursery and has developed positive relationships with the key workers he has had. His love for the garden, where he spends a lot of his time, is a testament to the wonderful outdoor activities provided. He was very excited to bring home some carrots and onions he had grown and enjoyed learning about the process of growing food to eat. Every time we drive past on non-nursery days, he proudly says, “That’s my Mulberry Bush!”
“The Mulberry Bush has been fantastic at settling in our son, who was anxious following our move from Berlin. All the staff we have encountered have been very friendly, and they all seem to know our son well. The Raspberry room staff, particularly his key person, spent a lot of time with him in his first few weeks to help him settle and feel comfortable. We are always well informed of updates from the nursery around our son’s progress and other important nursery information. Despite the current challenges in the sector, the Mulberry Bush provided a safe, friendly and calming atmosphere for the children and parents.”
“I just want to take this opportunity to offer my heartfelt thanks for the amazing job you do. I am always in awe of your wonderful staff and the enthusiasm, kindness and positivity they consistently show!”
“The trip to Pickwells Farm was excellent, and a few months later, my son still talks fondly of it. The ‘pick up and play’ opportunities are a lovely way to see our children in the nursery environment. Management is very responsive and communicative. The SENCO support has been excellent and ensured that my son has continued to learn and develop.”
“Since our son joined the Mulberry Bush, we’ve been incredibly impressed with the care and attention he has received, particularly from his key worker, Megan. Her nurturing support has been instrumental in his development. We’ve watched him grow from crawling to walking, using cutlery, learning baby sign, and even beginning to channel his emotions positively. It’s clear how much he enjoys being at nursery—he runs in every morning with enthusiasm, arms flapping with excitement.
We have full confidence in the Mulberry Bush as a fantastic environment for our children. We didn’t hesitate to enrol our next baby here and always recommend them to others.”
