Review from Y R (Mother of Child) published on 9 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can honestly say, hand on my heart, that Junior's has been absolutely amazing for my child. He is in the Teenies room, and I cannot praise the staff enough for their professionalism, warmth and unconditional care for my child. The staff have a good understanding of child development and ease any anxieties
that I may have. He has a strong bond with his key worker, which is fantastic, and he is always happy to see her at drop off. At pick up, there is always great handover of what happened in the day, which is always varied and motivating. There is a good balance of inside and outside playing with great equipment to keep everyone busy. They are in tune with nature, which I love as well, kids get to feed the nursery chickens and have walked down by the orchards come rain or shine! There is even a sensory room, which is a big favourite for my child!

My daughter has attended Juniors since she was 10 months old on a full-time basis. The care she has received has been brilliant in all three rooms: Teenies, Toddlers and Preschool. The staff take such an interest in getting to know my daughter, her likes, needs, interests and have provided her with
learning activities to suit it all. The staff take time to get to know our family, as well as my daughter, and I always feel I am leaving my daughter in the best possible care when she is not with me. My daughter is such a happy and social little girl who thrives off being at Junior's. She has developed leaps and bounds with the staff input and wonderful environment. We will be very sad to say goodbye to Juniors next year when she starts her journey to Primary school.

My son has always enjoyed going and often doesn't want to leave. He has formed very strong bonds with his key carers and his key carers are always available for drop offs and pick ups. He loves the food and has seconds most days. Finally he loves outside play (whatever the weather). Already recommended
to friends and mew mums in the area. Brilliant.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been with Juniors since he was just 1, he is a special needs child and with the staff and management we have learnt together to overcome his problems where necessary. We have worked together with all the relevant NHS and government staff and funding issues to achieve our goals. It has been
amazing being able to keep him in a mainstream nursery, and it has done wonders for his social skills. The staff at Juniors have been absolutely amazing with My son, there is so much genuine love for all the kids! The setting is lovely, clean and tidy, the activities they do with the kids are so varied, getting parents in to do talks with the kids on their profession, bringing in things to show them (including real lambs)! The location is lovely allowing the kids to walk in the orchards and have tea by the lake with the ducks. The food is good and varied, with the kids sometimes helping to make their tea on certain days as an activity.


Juniors is amazing and we will miss you all!
