I would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so happy to be part of your little one's learning journey and to see him make progress week on week. But more than this, we are thrilled that you are equally as happy with the service you receive as a parent. We look forward to his future endeavours with your family.
The staff at Big Discoveries are absolutely stellar. Our children have thrived through their journey at Big Discoveriers and I cannot praise the entire team there highly enough. They have carefully managed the various dietary requirements that our children have had and always greet both parents and children with welcoming smiles and I know that our children love them all very dearly. Keep up the fantastic work guys!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We absolutely love working with your girls and seeing them develop their interests and personalities. They bring us joy! We look forward to all future development stages and adventures!
After moving my son from another local nursery to Big Discoveries we have seen nothing but positive changes. His independent skills have grown immensely and he is now able to carry out tasks such as dressing himself, putting on his own shoes, and using the toilet with confidence. The nursery gives children the freedom to choose what activities they would like to do and my little boy loves to spend most of his time playing in the garden area and always comes home telling me about all the fun things he's done outdoors! All the staff at the nursery are so friendly and caring and the end of the day handovers are always detailed which is very important to me as it's something we lacked at our last nursery setting. We are expecting a baby and have already enrolled her to start next year as we have been so impressed with the care at Big Discoveries.
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write this kind review. It is nice to know that all of the team's hard work is evident in the children's development and you get to see the impact of this at home. We strive to support life skills here at Big Discoveries and it has been wonderful for us...
I highly recommend Big Discoveries.
Thank you to all of the team.
Thank you kindly for taking the time to write this lovely review. We are so glad that, as a mummy, you are pleased with our service. Seeing your little boy grow in confidence and make leaps in his learning is what it is all about and what we do this for. We look forward to continuing to work with your family and seeing future progress in your child's development.
Special thank you to the team for making my son's experience one that he enjoyed. I will miss dropping him and he will miss coming to spend his days with you.
Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us. It genuinely means the world. We already miss your little man and all of the team are super proud of how far he had come! We are sure that he is going to do well on his school adventure and wish you all the best of luck.
Big Discoveries Nursery has been lovely and has brought my little girl on brilliantly with all their support and love and I look forward to my baby girl starting in September.
Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We have loved having your big girl and we are feeling proud of how well she has done this last year. The team are excited to welcome your little one, come September, for more adventures and Big Discoveries!
What a wonderful nursery with fantastic and caring staff! Our son has been through a lot, and we were extremely anxious about him starting nursery, but there is nowhere else we would send him! They are caring, compassionate and, above all, a huge support for our son and us as a family! Both my children have attended Big Discoveries and have seen us through many milestones! They are part of our family, and we are forever grateful for their unconditional love and care for our little ones! Our son has made huge progress, and that is thanks to their continued efforts and commitment! The staff go above and beyond.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to give us a review. The staff put their heart into what they do and work hard to develop the children's interests. We are glad that this it is evident to parents and carers. We look forward to all of the firsts to come and to watch your son explore and grow whilst having fun.
I could not recommend Big Discoveries enough. The staff are amazing; they take the time to really get to know and understand your child, and because of this, my children have really flourished. Both my children love going to nursery, and the range of learning opportunities they get is fantastic.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to submit a review. We are privileged to have been part of your children world and will certainly miss your eldest. But, we are happy that our journey continues and we look forward to watching your youngest baby grow as we prepare to get him ready for school this year.
Thank you for being amazing!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. Seeing your children and come through our doors beaming and ready to explore is just wonderful. Knowing that you trust us with all of your babies means the world to us. We look forward to watching them grow and getting ready for school in a couple of years.
My son has attended Big Discoveries Nursery for nearly a year. He has lots of fun playing especially in the garden (the outside space is amazing). The staff are great and come up with such a range of imaginative activities. My son has developed a lot in the year and that's all thanks to the incredible staff. I would 100% recommend!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. We love working with your family and have been proud to see your child settle and make leaps in his learning. Seeing his smile when he is exploring the animals and all the garden has to offer, makes our day brighter. We look forward to being part of future progress and fun whilst we have him here with us.
I cannot thank the team at Big Discoveries enough for helping our little boy grow in confidence, independence and get ready for big school while having fun along the way.
I 100% support their child-led learning approach. They respect the children for who they are and adapt to them to help with their learning.
I'd highly recommended the lovely ladies here. So supportive and friendly.
We'll miss you all - thank you so much for everything.
We are warmed to hear that our ethos is seen and supported by parents and we wish you all the best for the future.
Our daughter has been at Big Discoveries Nursery for just over 3 years now and she has sadly left for primary school in September. In those 3 years, she has enjoyed the most wonderful time, with the most amazing staff! Staff that really take the time to get to know the children as individuals. They were always kind, caring and supportive, not only to our daughter but to us as parents. She has enjoyed the many activities, crafts and unlimited structured and unstructured play that they have offered. Especially enjoying her time spent in the garden and outside space, tending to fruits and vegetables and playing in the mud kitchen. She would always have a fun story to share with us when she came home. I have and will continue to 100% recommend Big Discoveries Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery or preschool.
Thank you so much for your heart felt review. It has been an honor to work with you and to get you know all over the last three years. We are sad to see your child off to school. But, we know that she is going with all the skills she needs and a confidence that is going to take her far in life. We wish her the best of luck on her new adventures!
Communication is always clear which is super important.
Thank you to Big Discoveries Nursery for everything!
We are super proud to be watching the progress that your little man is making and look forward to our future fun!
I love the outside space for the children and really love getting updates on the app.
Thank you for your review, it means the world that you take the time to share this. We love working with you all and the team are so proud to see your little man blossom and enjoy everything that is on offer here. We look forward to continuing to watch him learn new skills and develop.
My daughter is set to leave this term and I cannot express how amazing Big Discoveries Nursery have been with her development. She loves every minute of being there and I know she will truly miss it when she leaves. As a parent all you want is the best for your child- to know they are cared for and that you trust the people looking after them. I truly feel that at Big Discoveries. For the last few years it’s been a pleasure to be part of what they are and stand for. I know they have played a massive part in her readiness for school. Her personality has been encouraged and she really has flourished. So a massive thank you from us!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your kind words will be well received by the team. We can honestly say it has been a pleasure to watch your little girl grow and see the huge leaps in progress that she has made! We will miss her and all of her ways. We wish her the best of luck in big school.
My son very much enjoys attending nursery as there are always fun things for them to do. We have found from different activities provided he is always learning something new. The staff are all very welcoming, lovely and very trustworthy. I love that they always put out different snacks for the kids so they are always trying new fruit and veg.
Thanks for your kind review, we love having your son here and have seen him grow and change so much. We look forward to lots more fun and learning together.
We've found the communication to be excellent both in-person and via the online journal. We would not hesitate to recommend it.
Thank you for taking the time for your kind review. The team have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know your daughter as she settled into our nursery community. We are looking forward to plenty more adventures and exploration here and lots more practical life activities which she seems so keen to be exploring at the moment.
All the staff at the nursery are loving and supportive. My daughter has been with them for two years now and we've never had an issue. My daughter loves her key worker and they have a very special bond. It's a lovely, safe place for my daughter to grow and learn.
We appreciate your kind review, your daughter has grown so much and is a pleasure to have in our nursery family, she is such a social happy girl. We have loved seeing how she has flourished in independence going into preschool.
I'd highly recommend Big Discoveries Nursery, both my children attended here. My boy settled quickly after a bad experience elsewhere and my daughter loved every minute she spent there. My daughter still tells me how the teachers are her best friends as they were so fun! My children were both ready when it came to them starting school.
The nursery is a safe and clean environment for the children. I highly recommend Big Discoveries - 10/10!
Your son has grown so much from a teeny tot into an energetic and thoughtful pre-schooler. The team enjoy his caring and chatty personality. We are so pleased that you are happy with our provision, thank you for taking the time to review us.
