Review from Mark D (Father of Child) published on 14 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From administration to daily hugs on arrival, (for my daughter not me!) Gumboots excel at every level. No request is too big or small and response times on emails super quick, which has not been the experience at other nurseries. This, coupled to the bright colourful space means that every day I leave my daughter there, I drop her off in the confidence she is with true professionals, who not only do a great job but have fun doing it. A few tears have been shed now and again, but I try to do it once I have left the building. Bravo!

Overall Experience

So happy that I managed to get my son into Gumboots. He has been since he was a baby and is now in the 2-3yrs room. He is so happy there, always talking about his favourite staff members and all the fun he’s been up to in the ‘big garden’.

This nursery is exceptional. Wholly focused on the holistic needs of each child, children thrive in this wonderfully caring, play based learning environment. Its quality sings to you everyday. As a parent, you couldn’t wish for better.

Review from Andrew G (Father of Child) published on 14 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We feel extremely lucky to be able to send both of our daughters to Gumboots Community Nursery. Our eldest has now been attending for three years and we have been consistently amazed by the quality of both the nursery itself and more importantly, the wonderful staff who work there. Choosing a nursery was a big decision and sending our children to any nursery would have been a major transition for them - fortunately, the team at Gumboots are incredibly adept at assisting children during these moments of change, and our eldest in particular now adores meeting her friends at nursery. We could not recommend Gumboots more highly.

Review from Vicky M (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Gumboots provides a relaxed, warm, caring and stimulating environment for the children it cares for. My son loves his days there. Another huge plus for me (as a professional nutrtitionist) is that the food is all prepared on site and is diverse and nutritious. I'd highly recommend this nursery to any parent or carer.

Overall Experience

Fantastic all round quality of childcare. Children are well looked after with a diverse and ever-changing list of activities and outings for them to partake in. Parents are well informed of the child's well-being and progress with any behavioural or developmental concerns brought to their attention. Would highly recommend to a friend.

Excellent care of children. Staff show a real interest in the development of all children and build bespoke plans for each child around what their key interests are. We have always been very happy with the way our son has progressed at the nursery and how content he seems to be there

Overall Experience

My daughter loves going to nursery. She always gets a warm welcome in the morning and she genuinely loves the nursery staff. They provide a fun, caring and secure environment where the children are encouraged to learn about the world through play and creativity. They have a great garden where the children can play and discover more about nature.

Overall Experience
My little boy has settled in brilliantly and is very happy at Gumboots.
The team is kind and caring and the atmosphere is full of fun and joy.
They have amazing outside space, with slides and playhouses and enjoy diverse activities including yoga and gardening as well as particularly good roleplay facilities with the cars outside and play kitchens inside.
They read and sing and encourage painting, drawing and messy play with water, sand etc daily.

The food is healthy and I can’t fault the staff - who are also fantastically supportive and flexible.
