Absolutely fantastic nursery. My little girl started nursery at nine months old. As all Mums, I was worried about how she would settle, if the environment would be as it was when I had seen it visiting etc. My little girl started at a previous nursery and at her last settling in session I wasn’t happy,
so at last minute removed her and found Giggles. I took an extra week off work to ensure my daughter was settled somewhere before returning. The staff at the nursery in green room went above and beyond to ensure my little girl was settled and I was reassured. The girls and the manager all made sure my daughter settled in and updated me regularly throughout her sessions. The app is amazing and such a real time app. Today I received a letter to say my daughter will be starting her settling in sessions in yellow room and, whilst I’m sure the staff in that room are amazing too, I’ll miss the green room staff! Such a good bunch of girls, who always go the extra mile!

My son has been here since September and he absolutely loves it! The staff are very friendly and clearly dedicated to their jobs. The senior staff are approachable and everybody seems to enjoy working there. My son always comes home with a smile and either glitter in his hair or paint on him. They do
many different activities with the children. I couldn't be happier.

My little girl has been attending Giggles Day Nursery - Bramley for over a year now and absolutely loves it. She is always so excited to arrive and comes home full of smiles telling us what activities they've been getting up to. The staff are all so welcoming and lovely. They keep us updated throughout
the day on the Famly app too. I would definitely recommend Giggles to anyone looking for childcare!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started in September 2022 and whenever she is in the nursery she always has a brilliant time. She's had a few accidents with other children in her class but the staff are so lovely and inform you about it straight away. I've not had one issue with any member of staff that I've met, they
are well-mannered and speak to my child with soft calm voices. Out of the staff members my child knows, she loves them all and doesn't stop talking about them. I've never met such respectful, welcoming staff members and I'd recommend the nursery to anyone living locally.

They are good with the kids. They involve you in any decisions concerning our kids. They let you know the food they had, the time they changed them. What I like most is sending us daily pictures of the activities they do every day.

Cannot rate this nursery enough, from the first phone call enquiring about space the staff have always been welcoming and thorough, they are amazing with my son and me, very prompt with everything. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting. Very happy I chose Giggles as his nursery. The app
is updated regularly with all essential information, messages and calls if attention is needed. I really cannot think of a single fault since my son started five months ago.

After a bad experience with our previous nursery, we decided to move our son to Giggles and it was the best decision. He is very well looked after, the staff there are brilliant and my son loves them and he misses them when he is at home. He feels safe and happy there and this is most important.
We
are very thankful to the management team and the staff.

Fantastic nursery. The staff are always polite. My child goes and comes back smiling. A lot of different activities are organised and parents are always kept up to date. I'm planning to carry on sending my child there until reception class.

My son started Giggles Day Nursery - Bramley as soon as it opened, he has autism and is also nonverbal and has little understanding. This nursery has been the far most important time to my child, they have gone above and beyond for him, and the staff are more than welcoming. Just overall an amazing
place with amazing people that work there.

Since my daughter went to this nursery her development is great and still improving, also her speech is amazing etc. Overall, I recommend this nursery for any young child. The staff there are great and are happy to keep updated about your child or if there's an issue they are happy to tell me which
is great, seeing as I am a first-time mum.

My son started here in January and in the six months he’s been there he’s come on so much. He loves nursery days and even asks to go on the days he doesn’t usually attend if we walk past. His key worker is amazing with him.

A lovely nursery that provides fantastic support for additional needs. I've seen such a difference since my little one started at Giggles, every day she runs in with a smile on her face. Great range of activities and they provide such a warm and welcoming environment. Definitely recommend.

My little girl started at Giggles in September and absolutely loves it, she always comes home with a big smile on her face telling me all the amazing things she has been doing from singing and dancing to learning new things and showing me all the pictures she creates. She thinks all the staff are great
and has made some really lovely little friends, she also used to really struggle with trying new foods but since starting here the girls have done amazing at getting her to try new things. Couldn’t of sent her to a better nursery she will be gutted to leave for big school this year!

My little girl has been attending Giggles for just a few months and I can not praise them enough! I was anxious before she started but the nursery staff were warm and welcoming and my daughter soon settled. The communication via an app is excellent and it’s lovely to see photos of her playing on there
too.
My daughter didn’t eat very well before attending but she has come on leaps and bounds in feeding herself and trying all foods.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.796)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.796) out of 10 for Giggles Day Nursery - Bramley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.946 for Giggles Day Nursery - Bramley is calculated as follows: ( (159 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.946
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Giggles Day Nursery - Bramley is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
