Big Bird Nursery

Our one year old started at Big Bird Nursery a few months back and we’ve been delighted with how things have gone. Lots of variety in terms of activities, friendly and welcoming staff and excellent communication through the Famly app. It’s fantastic to see how our wee one is getting on throughout the morning and get updates about what she’s eaten, her naps and photos of her at play. Would definitely recommend to other parents.

Big Bird is an exceptionally caring and nurturing environment for children. The staff are friendly, approachable, very professional and communication with parents is fantastic. My daughter attended from age 11 months to 5 years. She loved her time there and has made some lifelong friends. The staff supported us through potty training, transitions from room to room and prepared her very well for starting primary school. My other two children also attend Big Bird. One now has his funded preschool hours there which he absolutely loves. Big bird really promotes child-led activity and give daily updates and pictures of what your child has been learning. My youngest (18 months) started in July this year and really enjoys it. All my children love being outside and they always get this opportunity at Big Bird! Having looked at a number of other nursery’s in the surrounding areas, Big Bird stood out as being the best fit for us. Would highly recommend.

Both of my girls attended Big Bird Nursery. My youngest is still there. They are a wonderful nursery. They have been so supportive of my youngest who has had issues with mobility. They have had the physio into the nursery and supported with her physical development. They also supported the potty training of my youngest, which was no easy task! I think parents worry about not sending their child to the school nursery - there is no need to worry with Big Bird. They do so much to support the preschoolers into school, even having the teachers into the nursery to make them involved in this stage. My daughter went to school more than ready from Big Bird Nursery. When my girls moved to Big Bird, we were completely new to the area. The nursery helped us get involved in community events (especially the gala day). I have joined the Parents Group and love having this level of involvement with the nursery. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

Both of my children have attended Big Bird since 10 months old. My youngest is now 4 and we've enjoyed many happy years as part of the Big Bird family. The staff are absolutely fantastic and I've always known the kids are in good care. Fantastic setting and always lots of resources and variety in the play and learning. If Big Bird did primary school I'd leave the kids there forever. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The daily online report cards advising the menu/games keep me updated on everything going on. I would highly recommend this nursery for any parent considering placing their child into nursery care.

My son joined Big Bird in August for his funded hours and from the start, he has loved it. To the point when he isn't there we have to say the nursery is closed so he doesn't get upset. Considering the strange times we are in this hasn't impacted my son one bit due to the attention to detail the nursery provides. Their Famly app is so useful and you get daily photos of how they are doing, what they have eaten through the day. This app is also really good if you as a parent want to check in on your child. My son really loves the nursery and I strongly believe this is due to the amazing staff and how much work they put in to make sure the children are happy.

My family is extremely happy with the Big Bird Nursery. The staff is really professional and doing everything it takes to meet all of the child's needs. My daughter has food allergies and I know that I don’t have to worry about her when she is there because they are really careful about what children bring to the nursery and what kind of food is being served to children. My daughter always looks forward to going there because they do a lot of fun activities.

My child has been at the nursery for over two years andI would highly recommend to anyone. It has a very warm caring atmosphere and all staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They have supported him in transferring from room to room as well as changes in home life (new house and baby). Any time we have looked for support, help or advice the staff have been ready and willing to do what they could and I can't get over how much it has helped my son's confidence. What I love most, however, is that even though all the staff work in a particular room and even when my son was in the baby room, all the staff knew his name, so if we met someone that I had never even seen before they knew him and would be saying "bye", Seems like such a warm place.

I cannot thank the staff enough for aiding in such a smooth transition for our daughter moving from the baby room to the toddler room. This move to the 'big girls' room was met with trepidation from us parents, however, any worries were soon alieved. The staff that had been looking after our baby continued to pop in and ensure she was settling in (and to get cuddles) and the staff in the toddler room have made her feel so welcome and like part of the gang since day one. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

My son attends this nursery and thoroughly enjoys all his time spent here, as he tells me quite often how much he loves nursery. He settled in very quickly and I think this is down to all the staff as the one's I have spoken to have been very friendly, caring and professional and are so interested in the learning and development of my child. I feel very comfortable and confident leaving my child in their care. I would highly recommend this nursery as it has excellent child care, and learning facilities for my child. Well done Big Bird.

My experience has always been good with my child picking her up and dropping her off. The staff are always helpful and friendly nothing is a problem. I would recommend this nursery to everybody as I feel it is the best around.

I also love the fact they now have the club when my son goes he will be able to be with the staff that he knows.

Overall, the nursery and staff are great with both parents and children. Always feel welcomed and my son always has a great fulfilled day.

My daughter is really having great fun at nursery and in particular the new wheelbarrows.

My son has been at Big Bird Nursery since he was 11 months old. I cannot fault it. Staff are fantastic. He loves going to nursery. Every day he amazes me with the new things he's learned and that's mostly down to Big Bird Nursery.

We have two children in Big Bird Nursery and they very much enjoy going. The staff are friendly, informed and involved in the education and care of the children that they look after. The nursery offers a range of activities throughout the day to the children under their care. They have good facilities, and the team are very approachable. I am very happy with our choice. It is a big plus to me that the nursery is open from 7 am, allowing for an early drop-off. Would fully recommend Big Bird.
