Overall Experience

My child has developed many new skills and has thrived since starting at Giggles. They have supported him with anything that he needed further development in and have always taken his interests into consideration when planning activities. I'm very happy sending my son here.

My child enjoys coming to nursery. We feel she enjoys the activities and we are confident that she is well cared for. Excellent opportunity recently to come in to see my child singing Xmas carols and doing Xmas activities.

Review from K H (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been very impressed by the quality of care provided by Giggles Gipton. Ranging from the genuine warmth and kindness of carers to their skillset in supporting my child's development by providing well-thought-out activities. It took some time for my child to adjust and settle in and the staff worked with me to support with the transition. Now my child is so happy and settled, this is such a relief and comfort for me when going back to work. It is also great to see the healthy food options provided and how staff have accommodated my child's dietary needs. Thanks to Giggles Gipton for providing a safe, nurturing and happy environment for my child.

Review from Hanna K (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am a relatively anxious mother and I was extremely worried about how our son would settle into nursery. He started when he was 18 months old and in the first couple of weeks he was getting used to the new routine and new people, but now 6 months later he loves Giggles! He keeps repeating the names of his carers and his friends, he likes the food, activities, and toys. I can see that carers really support him and also love him back. I think this is an amazing nursery and I have no regrets that we chose Giggles. I know that he is in a safe loving environment that helps him grow and develop.

My son has been attending this nursery for 4 months now. He has truly thrived in the nursery setting. The team at Giggles are so loving, caring and friendly and have really helped my little boy settle in. The communication from the team has been thorough and it’s really given us peace of mind that he is safe, cared for and learning to play and thrive in such a lovely environment.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!

Review from Chloe R (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was worried about my son starting nursery as he never really liked to be away from me so I was scared he wouldn’t settle. It took a few weeks for him to settle and then he loved nursery more than ever! He even asks to go to the nursery on a weekend! His development has come on incredible! He can talk so much since starting nursery when he could only say a few words. The management and staff always keep parents in the loop by sending photographs and messages on their development. The nursery staff are lovely and I’m glad I chose Giggles for my son. Overall, I am going to miss my child attending giggles nursery but look forward to his future at big boy school

Overall Experience

My daughter started when she was 8.5 months old. The staff are fantastic, very friendly and obviously enjoy working with young children. Her welcome to nursery really settled my nerves and although she had a couple of days when she was getting upset, the staff are so experienced about settling children this didn’t last long. The communication between nursery and parents is great and I love seeing the updates on the parent app. My daughter really enjoys going to Giggles Day Nursery and enjoys all the activities, it’s really helped with her development. Thank you to all the staff for supporting my daughter.

My daughter only goes once a week but she absolutely loves it and talks about her day all weekend. She's settled so so well and has an amazing bond with the staff. She's made friends. The staff were amazing helping us with potty training and helping us sort out her separation anxiety. The communication is fantastic. We can message via the app and have an answer within an hour. Overall I'm so glad we chose this nursery for our daughter and I can't wait to see what the next year brings for her

Overall Experience

Giggles Day Nursery, Gipton is really an outstanding nursery, as my boy has been filled up with a lot of energy, joy, curiosity and happiness at the end of every day he has been here. There is a range of toys in all rooms, which makes my son really happy to be here. Although he moved to England for just around two months, he has gotten used to a totally new environment much faster than I was afraid of before, thanks a lot to the dedicated childcare of Giggles Day Nursery Gipton.

Review from K S (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been with Giggles since it very first opened its doors in 2017 my then 5-month-old daughter had her very first day in the baby room. A year later our little boy started in the baby room too.
From the first day, it has been a wonderful experience.
There was a period of high staff turnover which at the time concerned us but this has settled.
Nevertheless, the consistency in the childcare was unaffected and every single day has been filled with love, happiness, amazing activities and genuine interest, knowledge and understanding of every child they care for. They work together with parents to achieve the child's full potential and for this, I am so grateful. Both my children are happy, confident and caring. I know this is because of the time and effort that has been put in by all the amazing staff.
Even when transitioning to school the time, effort and collaboration with the school are above and beyond.

Thank you Giggles you truly are special.

Overall Experience

As a nursery nurse myself I found it very difficult to find a nursery I loved for my son. I knew as soon as I walked in I wanted him to go to Giggles. My son has a severe speech delay and receives additional funding. The staff at the nursery go above and beyond to support him. The manager is always open to talk and support. Giggles always accommodate when I need extra sessions. My son is always happy to go to nursery and all staff know exactly how to support him.

Review from Naz B (Mother of Child) published on 13 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Giggles have been fantastic with my little girl. All staff members are approachable within the setting.
My little girl had a speech delay, she is a fussy eater, she suffered from nerves/anxiety from using nursery toilets
All of my concerns and issues I addressed with the manager and she was fantastic at addressing each issue making sure all the staff were reading off the same page so we had consistency. She drew a plan of action up and we kept in touch to review my little girl's progress. The manager was great at listening and reassuring me and advising me on what would be the best course of action.
Staff helped her with her speech, she has come along so much since she started at Giggles. The staff always share her achievements and give feedback.
I highly recommend Giggles, the staff go above and beyond and I'm so glad I have such a good relationship with the staff as they do with me.

Thank you for all you do for us, your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Review from Gale W (Mother of Child) published on 4 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been coming to Giggles full time since September 2021 and we all love it! Her speech has come on leaps and bounds and I put it all down to her getting to do so much interactive play with her peers under the guidance of staff. She adores her Red Room workers and tells me what she’s done and who she has played with every evening.
I really like the app as I can message the Red Room directly with any questions/answers and I get the updates throughout the day on what she’s doing or eating.

Knowing she is having the best time in this setting makes me so happy.

Management and staff at Giggles are really friendly and willing to help where they can.
My son loves attending and even asks to go on his days off!
They provide useful resources, which keeps me updated on my child's progress, day to day activities as well as what they’re eating.

I love how they include extra physical activities such as Rugby Tots, which my son loves!
