Review from Anna B (Mother of Child) published on 19 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started in Jolly Tall in September. I was on pins with her new changes, not only due to the current climate and them being situated at Bradwell Hall but due to her having many allergies and now moving to a new staff team who didn’t really know her and her not going to nursery for many months.
After her first day, I was at ease when she left with a huge smile on her face. Slowly I met the new team when they collected my daughter from me and brought her to me at home time. Every day she comes out and asks to go straight back to nursery and in her words ‘it’s so much fun, mummy. I want to go again’. All the staff are amazing throughout the nursery, they show compassion, privacy and respect. The choices they offer at Huggies Day Nursery are endless. Every day my little girl learns something new.
Well done Huggies and well done for always keeping every child safe, but especially adapting for my daughter so she doesn’t miss out on anything. I’d highly recommend Huggies to anyone.

My son went to Huggies from 6 months old and full time and from day one the nursery staff made it a lot more stress-free for me to leave him. My son came on leaps and bounds all thanks to the nursery. All the staff are amazing and work really hard with each child. I always knew what my son had progressed
on and worked well with the nursery to help my son progress further. I would always recommend Huggies. Thank you to all the staff we appreciated everything you did.

What can I say about Huggies, all the staff are quite simply amazing. Between my two children, we’ve been part of the Huggies family for the past seven years. Each and every member of staff involved in their care, has forged a special bond and remain interested in their development even after they have
left the setting.
I’m going to be so sad when our journey ends in September. All the staff are welcoming, approachable and immediately put you at ease. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they are always smiling- no matter how much of a madam my daughter has been!
Choosing Huggies as their nursery has been the best decision I made.

The staff at Huggies Day Nursery are fantastic. They really interact with the babies. My daughter loves it and loves her key worker. It's great when I see photos of her playing and learning new skills. So glad I chose this nursery and will definitely be putting her in more days when the funding comes
in.

Both of my children have attended here and my youngest still does. This nursery is excellent and done nothing but the best for both of my children. All the staff and manager are excellent, so friendly and approachable.
I couldn't be happier leaving my children, knowing they are so well looked after.

My daughter has attended this nursery for the past 2 years and it has been the best experience possible. Each progression through rooms has been smooth and she has flourished in each room she has moved through to. All staff we have encountered have been determined, patient and observant with the best
interests of the child at heart. Even in difficult situations, these have been handled with respect and professionalism. Opinions and requests in my experience have been listened and adhered to. There is a wealth of extra activities available to all rooms aside from the usual day to day activities. My daughter could not be happier to attend and we couldn’t be happier with our preferred choice for a childcare provider.

I love this nursery and the staff are brilliant. My son had been to many nurseries previous to Huggies and I never felt like I could relax. I could never settle while he was at any other nursery. Since being at Huggies, I can go to work knowing my son is happy and safe and to me, that is a relief. Also,
my son has come on brilliant in all ways especially with his speech with the help of the staff. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone with little ones. I have not a bad word to say about any staff they are all lovely and always happy to help. Overall, Huggies is the best nursery my son has been.

Excellent nursery setting! My baby daughter has been attending since January 2018. She has settled in really well due to the caring and friendly staff. They have really helped in easing her into this next transition! She really enjoys going to Huggies nursery and her development is noticeable. The staff
are so accommodating and really do focus on each individual child. The nursery offers a wonderful and stimulating environment with excellent facilities and interactive displays! I’m really pleased with our chosen nursery and am certain my daughter will grow and blossom there with the care given and the learning that is offered.

My daughter is currently in preschool and loves this nursery. She always looks forward to going which is a relief for a parent. She is well cared for and I receive regular updates on her progress. The equipment is regularly updated for the kids and they have a Spanish teacher and other activities in
to deliver sessions to the children. The food is also freshly prepared and of a good standard.

Lovely nursery staff, always helpful and nothing is too much trouble. My granddaughter has learnt such a lot since starting 2 years ago and this will give her a good start when she goes to school in September. She loves going, she even asks to go when it’s not her days to attend and I can see she’s
very fond of the staff.

Huggies Day Nursery is excellent. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, facilities, space, activities environment, the organisation is all superb. Having used a different nursery with my first child for one year, we moved to Huggies when our old nursery closed. At the time I was devastated to move
my nearly 2-year-old to a different nursery, however, it soon became the best decision ever to use Huggies. I looked around a lot of nurseries but Huggies far stood out from the rest. My daughter is in the pre-school room and my son in the baby room. It's a very engaging nursery, learning is excellent. My daughter came on leaps and bounds thanks to Huggies. Huggies is a fantastic nursery, I cannot recommend enough.

Huggies has been a fabulous nursery for me and my daughter she started when she was 9 months and been there for 3 years every room from baby to preschool were brilliant. All staff are friendly and very helpful I have an ever changing rota which has been difficult to sort out they have always tried their
best to accommodate us. My daughter has come on more and more everyday she has learnt such a lot there and has always enjoyed her time at nursery. The stay and play afternoons for parents or grandparents are great and the food is very healthy my daughter has always eaten great at nursery. They were so helpful with potty training, personal issues and getting rid of the dreaded dummies ha. I'm so glad i chose Huggies, me and my daughter think it's a super nursery and would recommend to anyone. Going miss the place xxx

Well what can I say except amazing staff and management throughout the nursery! My son was diagnosed with severe hearing loss and the nursery accommodate to his needs exceptionally. His speech is slightly behind for where he should be but you wouldn't think it with the utmost support he gets from the
staff in every room he moves up into. I would recommend Huggies to any parent who asks and I would not go anywhere else. My older child also attended the nursery 7 yrs ago and the nursery has always strived to be outstanding. Keep up the good work! ??

My daughter has been with Huggies since she was 5 months old, I couldn't ask for more. Through every stage she has been nurtured and supported and is now (I think !) well rounded and bright and prepared for school this year. I will continue to use Huggies for after school and holiday clubs.
Huggies
staff are brilliant and you always feel your child is in great hands .
The tapestry system is great and gives you insight into how your child is developing and ideas for home.
The setting is perfect with the age based rooms and great outside space.
Good variety of food provided.
