Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can highly recommend this nursery, the facilities are great together with the staff, my little boy always loves going and often asks at the weekends if he is going to Nursery today. We are so happy with the way our son is looked after and the learning he has achieved our other son is starting in
the next couple of months.

My daughter has been at Whipper-Snappers for almost 2 years and absolutely loves it. I have seen her confidence grow and grow and she has learnt so many new things and developed in many ways.
I feel relaxed that I can go to work and my daughter is not only having fun but she is well taken care of by
all the staff. They keep me updated on a daily basis and call me first should the situation warrant it.
Only suggestion would be to have the online system where you can view your children playing and see their updates this way.

My son started at whippersnappers when he was one and from that first day I have had no issues or concerns only praise for the lovely staff and great facilities.


I love the fact that the children spend so much time outside and having the opportunity to attend forest school is brilliant. My sons

key worker is always updating me with his learning progress and I have no doubt that his excellent behaviour (most of the time!) and speech is as much down to the staff at whippersnappers as it is myself and my husband.

I was recommended this nursery from my sister (her children also loved it). My daughter, who is now four, has been going since a year old. She always wants to go. Would definitely recommend Whipper Snappers to all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Outstanding setting for children. My daughter has been at the nursery since she was just over a year old and is now thriving in Pre-School. The setting is wonderful, each barn has an amazing outdoor play space which is well used during the day come rain or shine. In pre-school they are outside as much
as they want to be and enjoy and things in their garden including dens, mud and sand kitchens, planting, they have even been able to watch eggs hatch into chicks. My daughter has been keen to learn to read and write and her key worker and the pre-school team have been really supportive of her learning and she is so enjoying her own progression. Whippersnappers is a wonderful place for children to thrive and grow and best of all enjoy a wonderful amount of outdoor space and spend time in it, including Forest School - enjoying childhood as it should be - out in the fresh air.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband and I agree that Whipper snappers is an excellent child care provider and we feel extremely lucky that our children go there. The staff are superb with the children and take care to know all of the children, not just those allocated to them as the 'key person'. The nursery is very flexible
and accommodating and always aims to ensure that they do everything that is possible and reasonable to ensure the children are happy, stimulated and generally well cared-for. I could not recommend this nursery more highly.

My son loves going to nursery here. He grown and learnt so much since being here. The outside space is amazing, the commutation is second to none and you really feel your been their with them. The staff are friendly and always remember you and treat the children as an individual and remover what that
like.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since starting Whipper-snappers last summer, we have noticed a huge difference in my son to play and share with others, whilst also being able to play independently. My 2 year old has always had trouble eating, but his diet has improved tremendously by watching others and through encouragement from
the staff. The key workers have all been amazing with my son's development. We couldn't thank them enough in all areas!

Big fan of Whipper Snappers. I was referred there by my sister in law and my daughter has been going there since she was 6 months old so has experienced every 'class'. Staff are very friendly, and take learning journeys even at a very young age very seriously. Great facilities. Would highly recommend
it.

Overall standard is very good throughout and would recommend to others. The cost is satisfactory also. There could be more education and learning from the early age. Management are good and there is flexibility in the care.
