Don't just listen to us—see what some of our families, nurseries, and community say about us.

Nurseries

We really value nurseries’ feedback — it helps us see the real impact our classes have on children’s learning and development.

Bourne Sports has been delivering high-quality sports sessions at our nursery to children aged 30 months to 4 years. From the moment their team, led by Liam Dowd, visited, it was clear how passionate they are about their role. During the initial trial session, the children quickly formed wonderful bonds with Liam and would often talk about the sessions during everyday play and at home—delighting parents and adding real value to the extracurricular activities on offer.

Liam and the sessions from Bourne Sports support all areas of development and the characteristics of effective learning, while providing a heartwarming and inclusive environment for every child. We’ve noticed attention spans improving, peer-to-peer interactions strengthening, and listening and attention skills flourishing. Most importantly, these sessions have had a remarkable impact on children’s self-confidence.

We are so grateful for the fun, healthy, and exciting sessions Bourne Sports delivers, and I would highly recommend them to any setting looking to extend the opportunities they offer their children.

We couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Bourne Sports, led by Liam Dowd. Liam brings incredible professionalism, knowledge, and skill to every session, and the children absolutely love his approach. Bourne Sports delivers exactly what it promises—engaging, well-structured, and fun sessions that support children’s development. Liam even went above and beyond, giving his own time to support the children during Sports Day, which really showed his dedication. We are so glad we chose Bourne Sports for our nursery—it has been a fantastic experience for both the children and the staff.

We have been thrilled with the sports sessions Bourne Sports has introduced at our nursery for children aged 2 to 5. Liam Dowd’s sessions are energetic, engaging, and perfectly suited to young children. From the first session, it was clear that he understands how to make sport fun and accessible for everyone.

What makes these sessions truly special is the way Liam adapts activities so that all children can take part, including those who may face language barriers. Through playful communication and creative games, every child feels included, supported, and encouraged to try new skills.

Since starting the sessions, we’ve seen children become more confident, attentive, and willing to interact with their peers. Bourne Sports has brought an exciting, educational, and inclusive approach to physical activity that we would highly recommend to any nursery looking to offer children meaningful opportunities to learn, play, and grow.

Families:

We value what our families have to say — their feedback helps us celebrate successes, improve our sessions, and ensure every child enjoys a fun, inclusive, and rewarding experience.

My child is a regular at the Bourne Sports nursery classes, and we love how every session is different—a new sport, a new theme, and always full of fun. It keeps him excited, engaged, and learning new skills every week. The variety and energy of the classes make them truly special!

Bourne Sports has been amazing for our children. Every session is packed with fun, themed activities that keep them excited and engaged, from creative games to different sports each week. We’ve seen our little ones grow in confidence, try new skills, and interact more positively with their peers, developing important social and teamwork skills along the way. What’s particularly impressive is how inclusive the sessions are—every child, regardless of ability or language, can take part, feel supported, and enjoy themselves. Bourne Sports doesn’t just teach sport; it creates a space where children feel proud, motivated, and eager to come back for more.

From shy & hesitant to confident & engaged—Bourne Sports makes it happen!

Wow! My child just attended his first Bourne Ballers class last Saturday, and I am amazed by how engaging and fun the session was. He came home full of excitement, talking about the games and activities he tried. It’s clear that the sessions build confidence, teamwork, and enthusiasm for sport in a way that’s perfect for little ones. We can’t wait for the next class!
