Review of Toddlers Inn Nursery from Freyja D (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We've had a wonderful experience, our son loves all the many exciting trips. The beautiful surroundings and the staff who take such great care of him. It's hard for us to say goodbye in the mornings but look forward to him excitedly telling us about his day when we pick him up, he grows so much when he's been in.

Reply from Sabrina Watt, Manager at Toddlers Inn Nursery

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Its always hard leaving our little ones at the door but agree its always so exciting to hear what they have done and if they can't talk yet then parents can read our daily tapestry journals

Review of Nursery Days from Katie W (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughters have loved their time at nursery days. Each member of staff makes an effort to make the children feel safe and settled at their nursery which has been very important for us.
The nursery has provided a great learning environment and we have watched our children thrive since starting here within many aspects of their development. My eldest loves animals and it has made a great difference to be able to learn and develop at the orchard through play outdoors and caring for the animals.

We would highly recommend nursery days to any parent looking for a caring, professional and fun nursery for their child!

Reply from Amy Brookman, Manager at Nursery Days

Thank you, it's our pleasure having your daughters at nursery and know how much they enjoy the outdoor fun and farm school.

Review of Orchidale Children's Nursery from R C (Mother of Child) published on 8 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending Orchidale since he was 9 months old and is now almost 18 months old. Leaving your baby in someone else's care for the first time is never easy, but from the very beginning the team at Orchidale made us feel completely reassured.

Every member of staff is so kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's happiness and development. They have provided my son with so much love, support, and encouragement, and it has been amazing to watch him grow into such a confident, happy little boy.

The staff have celebrated every milestone with us and have always gone above and beyond to make sure he feels safe, settled, and cared for. Knowing that he is greeted with smiles, warmth, and affection every day means the world to us as parents.

I am incredibly grateful to everyone at Orchidale for the care they have shown my son over the past year. It truly feels like a second home for him, and I couldn't ask for a better place for him to learn, grow, and thrive.

Millie was very shy and clingy when she first came to nursery but she now absolutely loves it thanks to the amazing staff. She talks about all the activities she does non-stop and always looks forward to going. We couldn't be happier and just wish we had started sooner!

Review of Orchidale Children's Nursery from Toqa M (Mother of Child) published on 4 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We honestly couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are absolutely amazing, caring, patient, and so supportive. I was extremely worried about starting my son there because he is very attached to me, and I truly thought the transition would be disastrous, but they handled everything so gently and professionally and made him feel safe and comfortable so quickly.
He absolutely loves all the staff and genuinely enjoys going in every day and taking part in all the activities they do. One of the things that impressed me the most is how well they manage meal times somehow they get him to eat foods he completely refuses to eat at home.

As a parent, it gives me so much peace of mind knowing he is happy, cared for, and thriving there. Overall, I really can't recommend them enough and we're so grateful for everything they do.

Reply from Jess Woodrow, Manager at Orchidale Children's Nursery
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means the world to us to hear that your son feels happy, safe, and settled with us. We know how emotional and challenging those first days can be for both children and parents, so we're delighted that we could help make the transition a positive one.

Review of Orchidale Children's Nursery from Carly D (Mother of Child) published on 28 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy started at Orchidale at 12 months old and is absolutely thriving since he started. He attends 3 full days and absolutely adores going to nursery and all of the staff at Orchidale. The activities that are planned for the children have so much thought and care put in to them, including all of the external activities that come in to nursery and the in house cooking club, always including the youngest children too. The correspondence from nursery is second to none, with such thorough updates throughout the day and on pick ups too. We are so glad that we chose Orchidale for our little boy & cannot wait for him to continue to flourish. We are so pleased to be part of the Orchidale family.

Reply from Jess Woodrow, Manager at Orchidale Children's Nursery

Review of Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery Ltd from Katherine W (Mother of Child) published on 28 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son started at Jabberwocky in Jan 23. As a first time mum I was nervous at him starting nursery. But Jabberwocky exceeded my expectations. Their communication was excellent trips they took him on were fantastic and his confidence developed. I couldn't fault the care and love the baby room gave him. My daughter started in April 25, and if anything had changed I think Jabberwocky has got even better. The staff are almost all the same from when my son went. The children are taken to forest school, the beach, the park, which is incredible. The manager and staff are always friendly and welcoming. I have only wonderful things to say and would recommend Jabberwocky to anyone.

We honestly could not fault Jabberwocky. Our little boy absolutely loved his time at Jabberwocky, from singing song and reading books to adventures our to Forest School and trips in the mini bus. The team at Jabberwocky are all so dedicated and genuinely care about each and every child, making it a priority to get to know all their individual personalities. Our little boy thrived during his time at Jabberwocky and his development and learning was all down to what is provided by the team at Jabberwocky. Would recommend to anyone!

Review of Nursery Days from Ashleigh P (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this nursery enough honestly. Any time I am asked I will ALWAYS say send your child here.

I was so apprehensive about sending my son to nursery, and viewed so many in the area. As soon as I came for a tour all my concerns completely dissapeared. My son has been in two groups now, as he has moved over to the pre school class. Every single person in that school amazes me. The care they have for my boy, the amazing activities they do every single day.

They are inclusive, understanding, helpful and my son has thrived since starting over a year ago. The orchard is incredible and gives the children the chance to have independence whilst learning in an incredible environment surrounded by animals.

If you are searching in the area, and are lucky enough that Nursery Days is accessible to you, please please don't think twice about bringing your child. I promise you won't regret it!!

Reply from Amy Brookman, Manager at Nursery Days
Thank you, this is so lovely to read and it's our pleasure to care for your son.

We know how much he adores all activities and being outside caring for the nursery animals.

Review of Orchidale Children's Nursery from Kyle D (Father of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our little boy attends Orchidale nursery and we couldn't ask for anything more from them. All of the staff are kind, caring and helpful. The activities planned for all of the children have so much thought put in to them and always help to make sure that all of the children can be involved. Our little boy absolutely loves Orchidale, we as parents love all of the updates we receive during the day, but always know that he is always having the best time. Thank you all!

Reply from Jess Woodrow, Manager at Orchidale Children's Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely words. It means so much to all of us to hear how happy your little boy is at Orchidale. We love having him with us and truly appreciate your kind feedback and support. Thank you again from all of the team!

Review of Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery Ltd from L D (Mother of Child) published on 2 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Overall, our experience of Jabberwocky has been very positive. Olivia really enjoys attending, and we find all the staff to be friendly and welcoming.
That said, we feel there are some areas where improvements could be made. Communication is not always consistent, the app doesn't seem to be regularly updated with what Olivia has been doing. Additionally, we have not yet had a parents' evening or any formal feedback session to discuss her progress or areas for development. Having more insight into this would really help us support her learning at home.

We have also noticed that collection times can be quite lengthy and don't always feel well-organised. Improving the efficiency of how children are brought out would make the process smoother for parents and help ease the congestion in the car park.

Review of Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery Ltd from Claire P (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our daughter is absolutely thriving at Jabberwocky nursery. She is a very active toddler, and every day without fail, she is able to get involved in a plethora of engaging and stimulating activities at Jabberwocky. The staff are genuine. They truely want our daughter to have the best time in their care, and the care is very personal to her. She eats and sleeps well whilst at nursery, which means the precious evening time we have together is calm - no overtired, wired baby. Our daughter started at nursery when she was 1 year old; I am so very grateful to Jabberwocky.

Reply from Leanne Lamb, Managing Director at Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery Ltd
Thank you so much, Claire, for taking the time to complete this review. We thoroughly love having your little one here, an absolute honour and a pleasure.

There is most definately a lot going on at Jabberwocky to keep our little ones busy , from Forest school where the children can hunt for bugs,...
