Our twins have thrived since they started their journey at Giant Leap nine months ago. We cannot fault anything at all. The staff are all absolutely wonderful and it's a pleasure to see and speak to them at pick up and drop off. You can tell they are all dedicated to providing the best care possible. The setting is fantastic with the bonus of Forest School. I cannot recommend Giant Leap highly enough!

The staff at Giant Leap are amazing, not only with my daughter but me too. My little girl absolutely loves going to nursery and if given the option I think she would move in there, she asks me every day to go. Thank you to all the staff in her rooms and in the office, you all respond to any questions and make her happy and reassure me, even out of office hours. Thank you.

Overall Experience
My son has been attending for the past 17 months and I have nothing but high praise for the staff. I feel my child has been supported and cared for in a nurturing, loving and professional manner that shows in his confidence and joy. I would thoroughly recommend Giant Leap.

Given the current situation with Covid, when my child started at the end of last year here he was very unsure of anyone other than me or his dad. From day one the staff in his room were amazing. As the months have passed my child is now a confident little boy who absolutely loves his days at nursery. I drop him off in the morning and have no doubt that when I pick him up he has had a fanatic day. The meals supplied make me envious every day. The app which staff update you with everything from nappies to naps is fantastic. I cannot recommend enough.

My Son went to Giant Leap after his nursery closed down, and wish I had sent him from the start! The staff did everything they could to help him settle and become part of the Giant Leap family. He has an enormous amount of fun at nursery; being outdoors and exploring (which I believe all children should do!). He even asks to go at the weekend and holidays! All staff in his allocated rooms ensure he is cared for, safe, loved and has fun.
Even throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, nothing was too much trouble, and they kept my boy safe and allowed us (mum and dad) to go to work knowing our son's life was kept as normal as possible, and extra safety measures were put in place to ensure the nursery was kept clean and hygienic. This is something I will be forever thankful for.

The office staff are so accommodating and tried their best to meet our needs in terms of the days/sessions required. I have nothing bad to say about this nursery. Amazing team!

Overall Experience
The outdoor areas are brilliant and lots of outside play is encouraged, this is great for my little boy. Children can take a piece of fruit at the end of the day.

My daughter started nursery in May 2016 and has just currently left to start school. She has loved every day at nursery, and has gained confidence and learned so much within her time here. I can't thank the staff enough. I can safely say this nursery lives up to it's "outstanding".

Overall, I am content with the care my son receives. His current keyworker is very nice and we know he is in good hands whilst we have to work. The nursery is the most expensive in the area and whilst the facility is the best in terms of outside space, improvements could be made on the flexibility of the hours and the inclusive meals. The diet is not varied, lacks in vegetables and fibre, serving pasta, bread, banana almost every day - simple changes such as brown bread or pitta, rice, instead of pasta and more variety on fruit and veg would be welcomed.

Since the review, the menu has been further updated and in more detail. Bread offered is always 50/50 and meals often have brown bread. The selection of fruit has changed for the morning snack. We research menu options before new menus are produced. We have fruit available on reception for all...

Overall Experience
Our daughter is physically disabled and we were worried about finding a nursery that would cater to her extra needs. To say they've been nothing short of incredible is a huge understatement. From the moment you walk in, to the minute you pick your child up, you know they're in safe and caring...

From the moment you walk in, to the minute you pick your child up, you know they're in safe and caring hands.
We've experienced two rooms so far, soon to be three and both have been absolutely brilliant. The staff are wonderful and you can tell by a 3-minute conversation how much they care. They support your child's needs and encourage them to grow and learn. They also, have an app which keeps you updated with what your child is up to through the day, which makes the days when you miss your little one a little bit more, a lot easier.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough! The staff are professional, warm and caring. The facilities are endless and the place itself is vast and magical! It literally is like a holiday camp for babies, toddlers and preschoolers.

Giant Leap Childcare & Forest School have been excellent with my daughter after her having separation anxiety. They have always managed to make the both of us welcome and settled.
The online app is also a huge positive aspect!

My son attended the holiday club this summer. Amazing. Wonderful opportunities for children of this age. Full outdoor experience, campfire cooking, den building. He said he's had the best time and can't wait to go back. Fantastic opportunity for children in this area. Friendly staff.

My son joined the nursery after attending another for 12 months. I was nervous but Giant Leap have exceeded all expectations! He came out of his shell, excelled and is now a confident, fun, loving little boy with a fantastic group of friends and great relationships with his nursery workers. So much so, he will be attending the holiday club. Thank you Giant Leap.

My oldest child attended in 2013 and it is just as good now as it was then.
