Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Junior's since they opened in Tunbridge Wells, she has managed to have time in each room and has absolutely thrived here. The staff have been amazing in each room, especially the Pre-School room where she has spent the most time and her key worker was amazing but all the staff
that my daughter had here have been kind, caring and understanding. The garden area is lovely and has a forest school feel. They help the older ones with learning phonics and spellings, as well as having lots of fun and they also got to attend the local pantomime which was definitely a highlight of my daughters! We have now left so my daughter can start ‘big school’ and we will miss everyone so much at Juniors but we have made lots of memories and friends! Thanks so much

We've been so pleased with Junior's! Our daughter is 18-months old and has been attending since she was 11-months-old. She's grown and flourished as a result of attending Junior's and is displaying new physical and social skills every day. We're particularly fond of the Teenies Room leader goes above
and beyond to reassure and encourage not just our daughter but us as well. The garden area is gorgeous, and the curriculum is excellent. I would definitely recommend!

Great nursery with an amazing outdoor area! My daughter loves coming into the setting, and she is always really happy when it's a nursery day! She has learned so much since she started in September, learning new words every day and using Makaton sign language. A big thank you to all the staff; they
are always very helpful, and they tried their best to accommodate my child's daily routine.

Could not speak higher about Junior's! The team are fab, and the nursery is beautiful. My baby is 18-months and full time. He is already starting to say sentences, and he is also uses signing, which is super cute! I really appreciate all of the reassurance the team have given me, and my son's key person
is amazing. The teenie team have been great, and I would recommend to anyone.

My son joined Junior's last July. Due to being with me since birth and lockdown, this was his first time away from me, and found the experience very daunting! I am so grateful to the staff team for all they have done to support me and my son during the settling in. He now attends four full days and
is thriving. He is always singing at home, and his app updates are such a joy to see! The room head is brilliant, and I have been recommending it to all my friends.

My children started here, and we are so happy with the care they receive. The manager has gone the extra mile to support us as a family, moving from overseas. The team at Junior's work so hard, and my children are so happy. Thank you!

Review from Carrie Y (Mother of Child) published on 24 January 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
The service and care provided at Junior's Day Nursery were appalling.
They are constantly short-staffed and over-stretched, meaning they can never provide quality care. When dropping our child off, staff seemed disappointed they had another child to look after. If you don't love children, then you
are definitely in the wrong job and business!
We tried to give feedback and seek reassurance from the acting manager, however, it was very difficult to contact her as she was always covering for other staff, came in late, left earlier, or work from home (i.e not reachable). The room leader in the baby's room was hostile, when we asked for feedback, i.e. it's like they want you to leave as they know they can't cope.
When you join, they give a pack with their complaint process and the owner's contact details. When you send your complaint, however, they never respond.

This is a terrible nursery. They are new and busy, but they don’t have the staff and management in place to provide a safe and productive environment, especially during Covid spikes. The staff were hostile when we asked for feedback and information, and kept pushing us to do shortened hours (even though
we paid for half/full days). Strongly recommended you don’t’ choose this nursery.
