Our son has attended Green Giraffe since he was 9 months old and is starting school next week. It is a wonderful nursery with caring, friendly staff who seem genuinely invested in his development. He has thrived here.

My son attends Green Giraffe Nursery in Cardiff Bay for over 7 months now. The staff are all amazing- you can tell they genuinely care for each child and take the time to support their needs and development. I get updates throughout the day with photos, nappy changes, food he's eating, and how much sleep he has. It's great to be kept updated especially when you first go back to work. I've been surprised at how quickly my son has developed and learnt new things and words since attending. I highly recommend this nursery.

The staff are absolutely amazing - they are kind, patient, and incredibly dedicated. It's so clear how much they genuinely care for every single child. They take the time to understand each child's personality, needs, and strengths, creating a warm and supportive atmosphere that feels like a second home.
Communication is always brilliant. I'm kept informed about my child's day, their progress, and anything they might need extra support with. I've seen both of my children grow in confidence, develop socially, and really flourish thanks to the nurturing environment they provide.
And as a bonus - my child eats better there than at home! The fresh, organic meals must be magic, because apparently broccoli tastes better at nursery than it does in my kitchen.

My daughter attends Green Giraffe Nursery in Cardiff Bay full-time, and I couldn't be happier with the care she receives. The staff are exceptionally warm, friendly, and professional, always attentive to her individual needs and wellbeing. The nursery provides a great variety of healthy, nutritious meals and snacks every day - something I really value as a parent. Communication is outstanding: I receive regular photo updates and prompt phone calls throughout the day when appropriate, which keeps me fully informed and reassured. Management is excellent - approachable, organised, and clearly passionate about maintaining high standards. My daughter absolutely loves going in each morning, which speaks volumes about the environment they've created. Overall, Green Giraffe Nursery Cardiff Bay is the perfect place for any parent looking for a safe, caring, and well-managed setting for their child's development and happiness. I cannot thank the staff enough for all they do!

Our child has been coming to Green Giraffe for more than a year, starting when he was a little baby. He is so happy there, and wanders in with a smile on his face. He has grown in confidence and is learning new skills all the time, and we're secure in the knowledge he is being nurtured, brilliantly cared for and fed delicious, healthy food. We were thrilled when we found Green Giraffe in the Bay on our hunt for a nursery, we love their values, the vibe and the clean, friendly setting. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.
My daughter has been in Green Giraffe for two years now, and from the moment she started she has loved it here. The staff have been brilliant with her and always very helpful and always supportive of her.

Sending my son to nursery was a decision I didn't take lightly, but every step of the way my experience of this nursery has been brilliant. My son was helped to settle into the nursery setting by a team of dedicated and caring staff, in truth they got me through it too. My son now loves his time here, he is supported developmentally and emotionally and experiences so many fun, creative and educational play scenarios each day.
The food is excellent, the nursery setting is clean, welcoming and age appropriate. Thank you so much to the great team here.
We had some issues...
We had some issues with potty training and the staff were trying everything to help, from prompts, flash cards to rewards. It really feels like we've conquered that now with help from Green Giraffe and a sense of team working between parent and nursery. We couldn't be happier.
We were really anxious about our daughter starting nursery but it's turned out to be the best decision we could have made. The manager and every single member of staff we've interacted with have been kind, enthusiastic and invested in the development of our daughter. She is so happy, kind,...
We were really anxious about our daughter starting nursery but it's turned out to be the best decision we could have made. The manager and every single member of staff we've interacted with have been kind, enthusiastic and invested in the development of our daughter. She is so happy, kind, thoughtful and they are working to support our developmental goals. We love the values and mission of the nursery and whilst it was more expensive than other nurseries, we think the quality, care, curriculum and love they show the children make it worth it. Our daughter loves nursery and we'd send her more frequently if we could! Everything is clean, looked after, communication is excellent and the input of parents is wanted and reflected in the nursery. Thank you so so much.
I was so worried about sending my daughter to daycare but had absolutely no reason to stress. She loves it there and comes home a happy child. The staff genuinely love your child and go above and beyond to make sure they are cared for.

From the beginning my experience with the nursery has been exceptional. The management are so welcoming and help with anything that I need. My little boy settled in really well and the staff are so lovely and nurturing with him. You can tell that he is loved and happy within the nursery and I can't thank the staff enough for making my little boy so happy and content. The care and attention that is met for my little boy is amazing from the daily diaries, observations and daily feedback. I am so happy with the Green Giraffe at Cardiff Bay and I can't recommend it enough, thank you so much for everything you do!

The fundamentals go without saying- she is well fed with lovely healthy food, had her changing needs met promptly and the range of activities are fantastic.
They supported her and us so well during potty training and I credit their dedication for how sociable and bright she is becoming.
They are accommodating and communicative.
It is a big thing to send your baby to nursery when they are so small but they made it so easy!
My son has been at this nursery since he was 9 months old and the care has always been exceptional. They have helped him develop and progress and the staff are always very kind and supportive. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My name is Cheryl, and I am the Nursery Manager at Cardiff Bay Green Giraffe.I first joined the company in 2014 as an apprentice when our Cathedral Road setting opened. Since then, I have worked across all of our settings in a variety of roles, gaining valuable experience and developing my passion for early years education.I currently hold a Level 4 qualification in Preparing for Management in Children's Care, Play, Learning and Development, and I am also completing a Montessori in Practice qualification. I am incredibly proud of the team around me and enjoy supporting and working alongside our staff to ensure every child has the very best day. We were recently awarded a Top 20 Day Nurseries Award, which is a testament to the dedication and care of our team. My favourite part of the role is spending time in the rooms with the children and welcoming new families to our setting.
Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors with my family. I have two very busy boys and an equally energetic puppy, so you'll usually find us exploring the beach or visiting a country park.

I have worked in childcare for the past 8 years after beginning my journey as an apprentice, and I am Level 3 qualified in both England and Wales. I recently moved from England to Cardiff to broaden my experience and knowledge of childcare practice across the UK, and I love continuing to learn and grow within the profession.
I’m passionate about supporting children’s individual needs and love being hands-on, spending time with the children, and helping them learn, grow, and feel confident every day. I enjoy working alongside positive, motivating people and creating a warm, caring environment where every child feels safe, happy, and valued.
Outside of work, I enjoy sea swims, hiking holidays, visiting my new puppy in West Wales, and learning Welsh.
