Jitterbugs is an outstanding childcare setting. Both of my children have been here from 9 months to age 4. As a parent, I have felt that my children have been safe, nurtured and loved. I couldn't have asked for better, and I always recommend Jitterbugs to new families.
Thank you for such wonderful feedback. It has been a pleasure watching both children grow, develop and thrive.
Excellent nursery. My daughter absolutely loves going and all the staff are brilliant with her. She has come on so much whilst being there. It is such a relief knowing when I drop her off that she is happy and settled. That is credit to the staff. Even the staff not in her room always happily interact with us.
Thank you for taking the time to review Jitterbugs on Day Nurseries. We are thrilled to hear how happy you are with the service Jitterbugs is currently providing around the care of your child. Your positive feedback means the world to us, and it's incredibly rewarding to know that our efforts are...
Brilliant range of activities and supporting my daughter through potty training she's done it so fast. Feels so connected to all the staff as they are so friendly. It would be helpful to see what the children are eating each day, I'm unsure if there are menus posted anywhere.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter has quickly succeeded with potty training and that you feel connected to our friendly staff. We strive to create a supportive and engaging environment for all the children. Regarding the daily menus, we follow...
My child has been at Jitterbugs for a few months now and they have been amazing. I found leaving my baby very difficult but the staff at Jitterbugs were so kind and supportive. They keep me up to date throughout the day on the app and send wonderful pictures so I can see my son having a lovely time. Lovely cards have been made, with regular messy play for the children to enjoy. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We understand that leaving your baby can be challenging, and we're delighted to hear that our kind and supportive staff have made this transition easier for you. It's wonderful to know that our updates and pictures on the app help you feel connected to...
My eldest went to this nursery too 16 years ago and I have always and will always strongly recommend it to everyone! The staff pool is very consistent, there’s still loads of the same staff members there from when my eldest was there and they still remember her. They take great care to work with you for the needs of the child.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with our nursery! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter has blossomed and enjoys her time with us. It's incredibly rewarding to see children come out of their shells and thrive in our environment. We're also deeply honoured by your...
Thank You Jitterbugs.
It's fantastic to hear about your positive experience at Jitterbugs Nursery! Hearing about how wonderfully the staff nurtures your child's development and creates a welcoming atmosphere is so heartwarming. It's especially wonderful to know that your little one is not just learning, but also enjoying their time here. Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Very happy with my son in Cocoons. He had a wobbly moment and we worked together to overcome the issue. I found them very supportive in this room. I would highly recommend sending your child to this nursery. Additionally, I worried about his speech and he’s now a confident little man when communicating.
Thank you for your feedback. Having this positive feedback is very much appreciated, as I know the staff work hard to develop good relationships with parents/carers to support the child's development. To hear how well your child is developing strong communication skills to express his needs is amazing to hear.
The nursery is always clean, well maintained, and with great equipment to make life easier for parents such as the facial recognition entry system and digital diary for your little ones. The team is always friendly and keen to help, making you feel so supported.
Thank you for taking the time to give us some feedback on your experience at Jitterbugs. It's positive to hear about our system's effectiveness as we strive to develop systems to make life easier in the ever-changing world of technology. We will continue to strive to provide this friendly, supportive service to all our families during their time at Jitterbugs.
Jitterbugs has been absolutely amazing and so supportive of our transition. My biggest regret is not starting at Jitterbug's sooner. My little one has settled in so well thanks to the great team in the cocoon room.
Wow, your positive feedback is amazing to hear, especially regarding the positive transition to Jitterbugs. The Cocoons team will be thrilled to hear your feedback. Thank you for recognizing and celebrating our Cocoons team's hard work. Your support fuels our passion and motivates us to continue striving to provide an outstanding setting for all our families.
I have always felt well informed of my child’s development, and any challenges, and well-supported should there be something to work through that we’ve noticed at home.
You have encouraged our child to have his interests and helped his understanding of that topic. You have promoted independence in a safe way. You have been considerate to our son and his routines and listened to us as parents.
Wow, thank you for your lovely feedback. It's very much appreciated, especially the recognition of the amazing hard work of the staff. I know they will be over the moon to have their hard work recognized. We will continue to strive to provide this service on a daily basis throughout the nursery.
Only criticism of the service as a whole was that staff seemed to change often without always an explanation or warning, so often new faces at pick up/drop off and sometimes I had to ask them to introduce themselves.
Thank you for your positive feedback about the excellent care your son has received at Jitterbugs. We truly value your trust in us. You're feedback about the frequent staff changes and need for better communication in these situations are important to us. We apologise for any inconvenience this may...
My kids love going to the nursery every morning.
As a mother when I leave my kids I love the fact I can feel they are secure and loved.
Thank you for everything.
We are delighted the hear your positive experience with our nursery and thrilled your children enjoy coming to nursery every morning. Knowing that both you and your children feel secure and loved is heartwarming. If there anything else we can do to make your experience even better, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thank you for trusting us with your children's care.
I rate the experience of Eggs, Caterpillars & Cocoons as excellent. I rate Butterflies as good. There has been a lack of detailed observations which do not document how my child is progressing at this stage, what he is learning and how he is being assessed and challenged in the activities he chooses to engage in. The written observations which accompany the photos tell me very little. There is a distinct lack of trips and experiences at this stage compared to previous stages. Those that do feature are repetitive, and from interpreting the visual records of these activities, children can frequently look disengaged whereas these activities when provided at younger stages seemed to have more of an impact. Staff have limited time to spend individually preparing children for school with personal care development. The staff are caring and know my child very well, he feels very comfortable with all staff, particularly with staff members who are more gentle in their manner.
We're thrilled to hear that you've had an excellent experience with those rooms, and we understand your concerns and...
Both of my daughters have gone to Jitterbugs with my youngest still there. The staff are absolutely amazing, always friendly and helpful and will deal with any questions or issues quickly and professionally. My daughter loves going which tells me that she feels safe and has fun while there. She comes home with something new to tell me each day about what they have been doing and what they have learned...along with a few things that she teaches me! Jitterbugs always go above and beyond with the children and have always put them as their number one priority. They have helped both my daughters navigate their first few years of life and I will be forever grateful to Jitterbugs.
It's great to hear that your daughter enjoys her time at Jitterbugs and feels safe and happy. We're delighted to know that she eagerly shares what she's learned...
The Jitterbugs Nursery ‘family’ have cared for my 3 children over the past 4 years.
The team are fantastic - friendly, professional and show a genuine interest in our children’s lives. Staff attrition is very low - which is important to us and creates great consistency.
I could easily name a dozen of the lovely team and give them personal thanks.
No doubt - Jitterbugs has set our children up for success (on multiple levels) for their next phase of education and life!
Our family are huge advocates, and we would highly recommend!
Thanks Jitterbugs - you are quality.
It's wonderful to know that you consider the nursery a special place and that the Jitterbugs Nursery...
Fabulous nursery with lovely, friendly, caring staff. Would recommend. My daughter has a lovely time and always comes out smiling. They do lots of activities, even French. My daughter really struggled with her colours but now knows them all. Overall, very happy. Thank you, the Jitterbugs team.
Thank you for your review; we aim to meet all children's needs and take them to the next level in their individual learning. Our French teacher is amazing at introducing another language to the children.
I am truly impressed with this nursery setting. I can't recommend this nursery enough for its outstanding commitment to children's well-being and development.
Thank you for your amazing feedback about Jitterbugs. We will always aim to provide an outstanding environment of care and learning for all children.
My daughter attends this nursery and absolutely loves attending, all the girls are lovely and very caring my daughter has come on in leaps and bounds since starting at Jitterbugs last year. we always feel well-informed about what she has done during the day. Couldn't recommend the nursery enough.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Our aim is to provide a warm and caring environment for all children within our care on a daily basis. We will continue to maintain good communication with our parents with all the relevant information of your child's development. Your trust and support are invaluable to us as we strive to provide the best possible care and education for your child.
My daughter started at nine months with Jitterbugs, and she wasn't walking. Jitterbugs had a separate area for the babies, and I knew she was going to get the attention she needed. She is now two and loves going to the nursery; she has a huge smile on her face when we show up in the morning and she sees the staff. This fills us with confidence, and we also get photos of her doing different activities. The staff are always happy to answer any questions however small. Would very highly recommend.
We greatly appreciate your kind feedback. It's truly fulfilling for us to learn about the progress your little one has made under our care. Knowing that our efforts have contributed to their development is incredibly rewarding.
Can't recommend them enough for top-quality care and education.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. Our primary goal is to ensure that parents are well-informed about any changes or updates within our setting. We are dedicated to maintaining open lines of communication with parents, especially when is comes to keeping them updated about their child's development.
