I had some initial worries about my girl not taking milk in a bottle (I am still breastfeeding 15 months later) but they reassured me that they will try to get her to have some and if not they will offer her some fruit as an alternative. It was to my great surprise when I went in to pick her up on day four that she had drunk half a cup of milk and was fast asleep. I couldn't believe my eyes and actually started crying. My little lady had never slept without me or being tied to my mum's back at nap time - one more week of this and I am sure poor grandma was going to need physio on her back.
Honestly, thank you, thank you, thank you for making this anxious, first time Mumma bear feel more comfortable (almost totally there) letting her cub go (albeit for a few hours in the day) and for saving Grandma's back!
I am not happy with the choice of meals as both girls were always hungry on collection. Also, email and notifications come across rude not firm.
Overall care of the children is good.
We are very sorry that you found our notifications/emails rude. It is sometimes a challenge to compose letters when we need to clarify our rules and guidelines.
We are surprised and disappointed that you reported that your children were always hungry when you collected them. We have not had...
The establishment makes the work-life balance that much easier.
Thank you all.
Fantastic nursery, for our 21-month-old. We were lucky enough to get a place here for our (then) 10-month-old when I went back to work, and as a nervous first-time mum, they were fab at easing my nerves and settling our little one in.
Our little boy is happy, secure and developing perfectly thanks to the team here, he adores his key worker and she has been instrumental in his continued development. We are often updated on where he is at, the online Tapestry system is fab for taking a look at what our little one gets up to, and also for tracking key milestones. The nursery itself is lovely, the facilities are excellent, from the rooms themselves to the soft play, the sensory room and the gardens tailored to each age group. The food menu offered is varied and I can always trust that our little boy is getting all he needs during the day.
I would not hesitate to recommend Gingerbread Corner to any local families looking for a fab child care setting for their little ones
My boys attend the after-school service, which Gingerbread Corner provide. Both my boys love going there, and have made some lovely friends. The staff are very welcoming and the boys have nothing but nice things to say about the staff and the facilities :)
Well done Gingerbread Corner, keep up the excellent work. You are a gem!
An excellent facility for children. Fantastic staff who are always welcoming. My kids have enjoyed every day they have been here and affordable too. They enjoy the playtime and friends they have made. Would recommend them anytime.
I want to thank you and all your team for the excellent care for my son. He is happy every time when he is with you.
As a first time mum, my first worry was if he would be able to form new attachments with the staff and children to avoid the distress of being separated. However, he has proven me wrong and is more than glad to run in each day and not even look back at me lol. This is because the staff have made him and myself feel so welcomed and comfortable and I couldn't thank them enough.
My 14-month-old daughter has attended Gingerbread since she was 10 months old and I could not be happier. I was so guilty and sad sending her to the nursery at such a young age but the way she immediately thrived at Gingerbread quickly alleviated all my concerns. She is so happy and the staff have helped make huge improvements in her growth and development. Most importantly though she is loved - it is such a nice feeling dropping her off every day knowing that she is being cared for by kind individuals who are passionate about her well being.
Since my child started attending Gingerbread, I have had peace of mind. He absolutely enjoys spending time there, the staff are amazing and friendly. There are a variety of activities for the children to do which makes this facility a great environment for the children. I’d highly recommend their services.
Both my children attended this nursery and now attend the out of school club. It's a great nursery with pleasant staff always on board to help. And most of all, the staff are always on board with the children and looking out for their best interest.
The only thing I will say is that snack time meals need to be more filling with a dessert, for both the nursery and out of school club.
Gingerbread Corner is an amazing nursery! My daughter has recently left here to go to reception but my son still attends! Both my children enjoy gingerbread very much. The staff ensure the children are always the priority and I can see all the children who attend are very happy and well looked after! There's always a variety of activities set out every day so the children are always very busy! I wouldn't change anything about it. I am very happy to leave my child here every day and I would recommend any parent to choose Gingerbread! Thank you so much for all your support. Your all amazing!!! Xx
Gingerbread Corner looked after my two daughters from the age of two and they always had a great time. I could leave for work reassured that they were happy and In safe hands. All the staff always greeted the children and were attentive. Sadly and reluctantly they left for big school and still talk about the staff and things they did and the friends they met at Gingerbread Corner.
The only drawback is that you can only enrol for full weeks and not choose fewer days. Apart from that, we are 100% happy and I would definitely recommend.
This is the best. Everything is always in place and my kids love to be there. The welcoming and friendly staff is always giving me advice and a helping hand when I need one. A thousand thanks to everyone.
Since my child started at this nursery he's come so far in terms of his speech and he's learnt so many new things. The staff are amazing and help him to become more independent. I’m so happy they have an outside area that they can play in and the romp room. All in all, I think this nursery is wonderful and so thankful my child got a place there.
Fantastic nursery! Staff and management are very friendly and I feel at ease leaving my daughter at the nursery.
My daughter's vocabulary range has increased rapidly over the 2 months she has been with Gingerbread corner and she is already showing great improvement with shyness when meeting people for the first time.
I cannot recommend Gingerbread Corner enough for a child's first venture of social independence and entering into a learning environment.
A great nursery my children love it. The staff go out of their way to make sure parent and child are happy. It has great rooms for the children to enjoy.
