Review from Jenny G (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy adores nursery. He has strong bonds with both the adults and his peers. Yogurt and rice cakes are the highlight of his morning and playing in the garden with his friends ensures when I collect him he's ready for a good night's sleep! Can't thank Grasshoppers enough for their positive reinforcement and unwavering passion for early years.

Overall Experience
I am really pleased with the amount of care and work I've seen at this nursery.

All the girls here are extremely polite and have a smile on the faces when we arrive. Every morning, no matter the weather, the Sun is shining in the nursery and you'll find someone ready to listen to your concerns or queries. They're doing all sorts of things every day and my son is happy and he's growing nurtured with best. I really want to thank them for the great work they're doing. Thanks, girls!

Overall Experience

We are absolutely made up with how well our son is thriving since starting at Grasshoppers. He was shy and anxious at times but staff have been so supportive and have encouraged him to get involved. He is now so sociable and his self-confidence is building every day. We are hugely reassured by the dedication, experience and professionalism of all the staff. We would recommend this nursery to all our friends and family.

Review from Annie K (Grandmother of Child) published on 19 December 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
They always keep parents/guardians well informed about their children’s progress. Communication is the core of all business dealings and Grasshoppers are very good at it.
They take parents' concerns/ advice seriously and try very much to act on that.
They are very alert and supportive on the well being of the children and show genuine concern when a child is not feeling well.
Emails are promptly sent out if their telephones are down and alternative phones are indicated to keep families in touch all the time.

They go out of their way to support newcomers who might be upset/afraid/anxious and this helps the parents to go to work etc. with peace of mind. They have practical contingency plans in the event of surprises eg. unpredictable weather. They always acknowledge/help when things do not go according to expectations eg missing clothes or spoilt clothing.

Overall Experience
When I first visited the Grasshoppers Day Nursery I was very impressed by all of the facilities especially the playground and their commitment to healthy eating.
My son is enjoying every minute there, the staff are very kind and friendly, the weekly activities are great - learning by having fun, every day I am surprised how much my son is learning.

A massive thank you to all the team there that make it such an enjoyable educational environment.

My daughter recently moved up rooms to the 2-3-year-old room. The staff have been excellent supporting her with the transition from room to room. They have kept me informed of all the changes and made the transition smooth and hassle-free.

Overall Experience

My son is my second child to have attended Grasshoppers. Grasshoppers were the only nursery to send them to and deferred my return to work until they both had a place. My son will be leaving for big school and will really miss nursery, especially his keyworker who he adores. He has been lucky to have her in two rooms during his nursery year. Grasshoppers is a wonderful, nurturing environment full of loving, professional staff. I have felt relaxed leaving my children in their care over the years. We will all really miss the nursery and all the wonderful staff. Thank you.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 9 months. We have always been pleased with the staff and the care provided. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it has set her up well for starting school. My son is also at the nursery and will continue to do so until he starts school. Thank you to everybody at the nursery.

Overall Experience

My daughter started at Grasshoppers a year ago and since then she has developed so much, socially, talking and walking! The staff are always super friendly and do everything they can to make sure she is happy and safe. There are lots of opportunities to meet other parents and for little ones to make friends. I am very sad that she has to leave, the next nursery has a lot to live up to.

Review from Helen G (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

For every parent, it is daunting leaving their child, but everyone at Grasshoppers has been so supportive and kind, it certainly has made it easier for us as parents. Our little boy has struggled being left but clearly as soon as we leave he has a lovely time and has developed so much within a few months.

His Key Worker has been amazing and this clearly shows in the way he is with her (and the photos/video's on I Connect), her time and dedication has been outstanding and this is very reassuring for us. Even producing a little book for him to take home with familiar photo's of the nursery and staff to assist him settling in.

The staff take time in getting to know the children on an individual basis and will take the time to speak to parents to reassure and discuss any concerns.

I would not hesitate to recommend Grasshoppers.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at the nursery since she was 10 months old, she is now 22 months and developing really well thanks to the superb care they provide. She settled well and has always been really happy. The facilities and activities are great, the garden is amazing. We receive thorough feedback every day and her key worker regularly uploads photos and information on her progress onto Parent Zone so we can see how she's doing, it's really lovely to read. The management team are super efficient, really helpful and friendly. Overall we are really pleased with Grasshoppers and would highly recommend.

A great nursery with superb staff who care but also work well together. They always have time to talk to me and support my requests as best as they can. Management is fun, fair and firm. Makes interaction approachable and a flexible response is sought as a default.

Review from Jessica H (Mother of Child) published on 21 December 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have never visited/viewed or put any of my 3 children in a nursery as beautiful as Grasshoppers. As soon as you walk in you are greeted (after the secure entry) by a warm smile and beautiful big hallway. Outdoor space is superb a garden for each room, huge shared garden and an allotment patch. All staff I have encountered are friendly and caring and take the time to get to know you and your child. The meals the children are given are nutritious, hearty and enjoyed by the fussiest of eaters. My son started here at 12 months, was very clingy and upset, the staff in his room knew exactly what to do and now he loves his time there and often is happy continuing play while I'm waiting to take him home! On top of all this, the nursery does a lot of work for its chosen charity each year and also provides the parents/carers and other family members a Christmas fayre and open days all offering more than some schools do!

I highly recommend this nursery and am so grateful that my son is here and he is thriving.
