Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have always been very happy with Leaps & Bounds. Our daughter has attended since she was ten months old and she has always enjoyed it. The staff are caring and professional and seem very passionate about their work. Our daughter has thrived in this setting and we have recommended it to several friends,
all of whom now send their children to Leaps & Bounds.

My daughter had the most fantastic experience of pre-school at Leaps and Bounds. All the staff are so nurturing and skilled at the art of helping children learn through play and positive encouragement. For such a busy nursery, they still manage to treat every child as special and this is what makes
this nursery outstanding in my eyes.

We could not be happier with Leaps and Bounds Nursery. Both of our daughters go, although our elder will be leaving to start school in September. It is a fantastic nursery with the loveliest and most amazing staff. They take the time to get to know each and every one of the children and we are always
confident when we drop them off that they will have lots of fun and be well looked after. They have learned so much throughout their time there. Could not recommend more. Absolutely fantastic nursery.

My son has used Leaps and Bounds since he was four months old. All the staff are very friendly and they all know us. My son is due to start school in September and we will leave with fond memories of the nursery. I would definitely recommend them.

My son absolutely loves Leaps and Bounds. As a family we have built fantastic bonds with all staff and it really is a home from home feel when you enter the rooms. We love the activities, both indoor and outdoor and the feedback we get about his day. Parents evenings are great and so is the menu - especially
the treats for parents left by the kitchen door! We are able to log on to our son's account and see activities, photos of what he has done each day. We can’t fault this nursery and believe our son really has come on Leaps and Bounds!

Leaps and Bounds Day Nursery provides a loving and caring environment in which our little one has thrived. We receive regular progress updates, pictures, videos and play plans via the online portal and can also upload our own content. It's a great way to keep in touch. The attentive and experienced
staff create a real family feel. Would certainly recommend!

Review from Roisin H (Mother of Child) published on 5 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had our two boys go to Leaps and Bounds for 6 years now in total and our youngest is now starting school. We have been extremely happy with the level of care our boys have received. The staff are great, great retention rates too which is a good sign. Lovely nutritious food, great spacious garden
for the children to play in, lots of toys to play with, a lovely homely friendly atmosphere. Very professional care from all staff and diligent reporting back at the end of a day. We will be extremely sad when our little boy leaves Leaps and Bounds but it is thanks for the great care he has received that he is now more than ready for school both from the academic side and also possibly more important, from the social side too. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is considering it. Thanks, Leaps and Bounds, fantastic job and very well done!

Review from Janet T (Mother of Child) published on 5 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son aged 5 has been going to the Before School Club at Leaps and Bounds for a while. This was the first time I had left my son with anyone else (apart from family) as I have always been a "home mum". They made him feel welcome and made sure he felt comfortable with the surroundings prior to him attending.
There are plenty of toys, books etc for my son to do prior to school and there is a selection of breakfast items available.


During his time at Leaps and Bounds, he has had a few health issues eg. inhaler required. I have made sure that the Leaps and Bounds staff are aware of the situation and any messages that needed to be passed onto school (eg son has inhaler) they have passed onto the school, which fills you with confidence and one less thing to worry about. There is no problem with dropping off as there is plenty of parking at the premises; also the nursery is located in a big car park (handy). Staff at Leaps and Bounds are always pleasant, friendly and approachable and are more than happy to help. I would recommend Before School Club at Leaps and Bounds to anyone.

Fantastic nursery. Has put me at ease from the moment I left my daughter with them 12 months ago. I cannot find a bad word to say. All the staff are friendly and professional and my daughter really enjoys the time she spends there and has made good bonds with her key workers in each room. Have recommended
to friends and will continue to do so. Range of activities and toys are great too; something new every day and plenty of outdoor play. Have had no trouble in organising vegetarian meals for my daughter and they are balanced and nutritious.

Leaps and Bounds Day Nursery have looked after both of our children wonderfully. They are very supportive and helpful and are able to cater for children's individual needs and dietary requirements. The records they keep (and then send back to parents to keep) are very comprehensive and it is lovely
to see what the children are doing during their time at nursery. My children have had a very easy transition to school largely due to their experience at Leaps and Bounds Day Nursery.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My little girl has enjoyed her whole time in Ladybirds and we have never had a problem. I cannot praise the staff highly enough, everyone is genuine, approachable and fantastic with the children. I would not hesitate in using this nursery again, it would be my
first choice.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Excellent nursery, been using since our eldest as 6 months old, (now 4) and still using for before & after school care. All staff are helpful and take an interest in what the children are doing.
Never really had the need to ask for anything extra however when we have they have been accommodating .


Only

criticism is with the parking facilities, however, the issue here is mainly other parents that ignore the signs about no parking in front of the windows.

My daughter has just graduated pre-school with a lovely send off to big school. She is more than ready and I believe this is due to the excellent care and input she has received at Leaps and Bounds. The nursery has been incredibly flexible in accommodating all of our needs and this had made a huge impact
on working life. Thank you for this! The creations my daughter has brought home reflect the wonderful caring and imaginative curriculum she has experienced. A fantastic place to send your child!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended the nursery since 9 months old and I can't fault any of the stages (rooms she went through). I feel that she is quite advanced for her age in a lot of areas because of her time at the nursery. All the staff are lovely and so nice that they all know her name and speak to her,
even if she hasn't been in their direct care. I won't hesitate to put in for a place for my second child for when I return to work after my maternity leave. Brilliant nursery/facility. I would definitely recommend.

My daughter started a wary and a quiet little girl. Nearly two years on and she has been transformed into the most loving, caring and polite little lady. As a first-time parent, I was helping with toilet training and always had advice when needed. All staff are approachable, fun, caring people and all
contribute towards this being a fantastic start to early learning. If I could I would never let my daughter leave. 10*

Leaps and Bounds is an outstanding nursery. The environment is friendly and welcoming. The staff are professional and engaging. My daughter is always happy, stimulated and well looked after. The value for money compared with other nurseries is amazing. It's like a second family for our daughter, but

Leaps and Bounds nursery provides a caring, safe, fun and developmental environment for children. Our daughter began attending at 18 months of age and as a mother I was nervous and emotional about the situation. The manager at the nursery was so helpful, informative and supportive. The staff looking
after her were friendly, professional and provide and excellent level of feedback after every session. The fresh food on offer is nutritious and delicious, and the range of activities supports learning with their detailed care plan as well as being home from home fun. Amazing.

Our daughter started at Leaps and Bounds at their "schools out" after school club 2 years ago. We have nothing but praise for their excellent care and facilities. The staff really play with the children be it board games, cards, tag in the playground. or arts and crafts and baking! The only problem
we have is when we come to picking her up ......she wants to stay!! Well done Leaps and Bounds Day Nursery.
