Partou Gingerbread House Day Nursery & Pre-school

Our son joined Gingerbread at 9 months old, which we were very nervous about, with him being so young. However the team were very reassuring, sensitive and welcoming and our son has flourished developmentally since being there, having had a chunk of his first few months being at home during Covid lockdown. He adores his key worker, who we can tell also cares for our son – as do all the rest of the staff who are in regular contact with him throughout the day. We absolutely know he is in safe hands. The few times we have contacted the nursery to raise any concerns (e.g. sleep times) the team have responded immediately and responded to any requests swiftly. The team here really do care - and we would thoroughly recommend this nursery to any parent for their child.

My daughter started at Gingerbread House last year. She settled in really quickly and soon came to love the nursery and her carers. She has a great bond with them. They have helped her with her speech, toilet training and learning to write her name. I know she will always have a fun day at nursery and will be well looked after.

Our 10 month old baby has been at Gingerbread for two weeks now and is settling in so well. She is really excited every morning as we get to the nursery and laughs and jumps when she sees the staff and the other children outside. It’s such a joy to know that she is having a great time and learning lots of new things! Thanks so much to everyone at the nursery for taking such good care of her! Wonderful place and wonderful people working there!

My daughter started at Gingerbread when she was ten mon this old, she is now two and absolutely loves going to nursery. She adores the staff who look after her and is always learning something new with the brilliant resources they have, I really recommend Gingerbread House Day Nursery.

My son has attended Gingerbread for around two years now and is in the preschool room and my daughter has attended for about a year and is in the toddler room. They are both very happy at the nursery and enjoy their days there. They are both very fond of all the staff and talk happily about what they have been up to during the day. Since lockdown lifted, the daily updates have been moved to the parents' app and it’s great to see pictures and read about what they have been up to. I would recommend this nursery.

Our son has been so happy at Gingerbread House and he has progressed so well in his development. The staff are great and it's so reassuring when he runs in with a smile on his face. We love hearing about the fun day he's had with his friends when we collect him. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since February 2020 and she loves it. The staff is genuinely caring and lovely. They care for my child as if she was their own and always go out of their way to keep her happy and entertained. My daughter looks forward to going to the nursery every morning as she knows she'll have a great time playing with her friends. I want to say thank you to the staff and his key worker in particular for taking such good care of my little one. I recommend Gingerbread Nursery for peace of mind that your baby will be very well looked after and have loads of fun.

I would definitely recommend Gingerbread House.

My son started this nursery last year and throughout this whole time, I am extremely happy with the overall service the staff provide. They are very helpful, friendly, professional and willing to go that extra mile to satisfy my son's needs. I feel so comfortable and reassured every time I drop my son off. The daily feedback I receive is excellent as they provide details on his day. I am very happy and pleased with this nursery and will definitely recommend to family and friends.

My son has been at the nursery for almost a year and absolutely loves it. He has formed a strong bond with his key worker and we feel she really cares for him, noting observations on him from throughout the day for us and sharing in our excitement as he develops and learns. The staff really do show care for the children’s and almost all seem to know him by name, even if they’re not in his specific age room. The nursery has given support at critical times, such as moving to solid foods and as he is learning to speak, with his best interests in mind. I have noticed a marked improvement in the speed on tapestry updates and responses to emails over the past year, and I like the creative activities the nursery provides. Thank you for all your dedication!

So far, we are really happy with the provision and we look forward to watching our son thrive.

My son has been attending this nursery for a year and a half now. The staff were supportive during a time when he had a dairy intolerance and since the nursery has been taken over by a new company I think the standard of care, stimulation and food quality has improved significantly. My son enjoys attending and is happy there which is the most important thing.

My daughter recently just joined the nursery and we have tearful drop off's but the staff are great at calming her down and she goes off to play after a few minutes. They let me know if there are any problems and are always updating me with anything I need to know. When I come to collect her, I watch the staff interacting with her before she notices me, which is nice to see. Its nice to see her observations online and what areas she is achieving in. Also, I can upload from home with things I notice. It's great that we can work together on her development.

My nephew loves the nursery and comes out with a beaming smile. You can see the genuine care given by all the staff. Such an important introduction to spending time with other children and learning before they start school. Keep up the good work.

My son attended from 10 months until he started school. Every key worker he had had a special connection with him and we really saw him develop into a fantastic individual whilst there. He learned a lot and received a lot of attention and care that made me feel at ease. Our daughter will be attending when I return to work as well.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for over a year now and absolutely loves it. The staff in the baby and toddler room are fantastic and my daughter talks about them constantly and is always so pleased to see them in the morning. The nursery has been renovated recently and all of the toys have been replaced with mainly wooden toys that stimulate their imagination. They keep the place clean and tidy and the children are very well cared for. The menus are good and my daughter eats well there. Overall we are very happy and would definitely recommend the nursery and the wonderful staff.

Our son has only just joined Gingerbread House, but it feels like he’s been there for years. Within a few days, he has transitioned from his old setting into Gingerbread with perfect ease and we put that down to the outstanding care given by staff. As a family, we prioritise being outdoors, the arts and reading, which is why we chose Gingerbread and our son is definitely thriving every day on the Curiosity Approach. We couldn’t be happier with Gingerbread. Thank you!

My son loves going to the Gingerbread House and I think that speaks volumes about the nursery. He has formed a strong bond with his key workers and I can see he feels safe and fulfilled there. Given the state of his mucky clothes every day, it is clear to me he is also having fun! Both of my children have attended the Gingerbread House. My eldest daughter left two years ago to start school, and again it was a very positive experience for her, my wife and I. My daughter has special needs and the nursery was more than accommodating to her additional needs. If you are looking for a nursery for your little one, I would recommend you book your visit.

Good friendly staff. Improvements have been made over last few months since new ownership such as buggy shed and refurbishments inside. Also a better food menu.

My child has been at Gingerbread House since she was 9 months old. Now coming up to 3 years I am certain her social and communication skills wouldn't be as advanced as they are without the support and teachings of the staff here.
