We love everything about Jitterbugs Nursery, from the kind and caring staff to the fantastic learning opportunities. Management is very approachable, supportive and easy to contact. Both my children have thrived due to the attention to detail of their Jitterbugs family.

Overall Experience
Both my children attend Jitterbugs Nursery, my eldest has just left ready to start Primary School. We have had amazing support as a family by all the staff. Both my boys are always happy with drop-off and collection, they absolutely love attending.
Very professional, welcoming and honest. I would not let my boys go anywhere else other than Jitterbugs Nursery. I am so happy with the care they provide as I am certain they are safe and happy with regular updates throughout the day.

Great meals, lovely staff, great environment, all round fabulous!

Overall Experience

We Couldn’t recommend Jitterbugs Day Nursery enough! My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining in January 2023. The staff are absolutely amazing with her and all children there. I don’t think we could give them enough credit. They always manage to keep me updated on my child’s day when I’m working, which is fab too. It’s nice knowing my child’s enjoying herself whilst learning. Sometimes it can be so hard making the choice of putting your child into nursery after maternity leave and going back to work, but this nursery really made me feel welcome and comfortable, just knowing my child is well looked after and most importantly safe. She always comes back home so happy and very tired from a fun-filled day! Thank you Jitterbugs!

Reply from Katey Pratt, Manager at Jitterbugs Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback about the nursery. We are over the moon to hear how well your child is doing at Jitterbugs and how comfortable you felt returning back to work after maternity leave, which we know can be a challenging time for parents. We aim to continue to provide a high quality of care for all children that attend Jitterbugs.

Overall Experience

Excellent communication between all staff and partners, all the staff are extremely helpful and supportive and I can’t thank them enough for everything they do to help bring my daughter on with her communication skills and gross skills. All the staff will go out of their way to help if you have any questions I would definitely recommend it to anyone who looking for a nursery for their young ones. My daughter started here when she was 8 months old and she has come so far it's unbelievable she interacts with other kids now there will definitely be a few tears when it's her time to leave the nursery.

My daughter has attended Jitterbugs for around 18 months and for the past 8 months of these, she has been in the pre-school. The setting is excellent, has a lot of different options and they make very good use of space. The staff are all caring and polite. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Overall Experience

After experiencing a different setting with my first child I can see how Jitterbugs Day Nursery go that extra mile to teach, engage and care for the children. Jitterbugs have been tremendously supportive at every stage from my son joining at 2 years old to my daughter joining after school club. The activities in every room are fulfilling and keep the children wanting to go back for more. I can see why they have the Ofsted rating they have.

The nursery is very welcoming towards me and my child when we come and drop off. My child is very happy and settled well into the room and is excited to talk about nursery at home. The nursery is very big and bright and my child loves going.

Overall Experience

I have been using Jitterbugs Day Nursery for two and a half years for both my children and they love it. They have been in every room from Babies up to Out of School club and the staff take great care to ensure the transitions are smooth and stress-free. They have learned so much as well as being looked after by genuinely caring staff who also support parents by offering advice and help when requested. The facilities and equipment are of a high quality and very clean and well maintained. The activities are varied and engaging for the children and always well run and controlled. I can't praise Jitterbugs Day Nursery enough and would definitely recommend them to other parents.
