Nursery facilities and staff are very good and diligent. Children love it here and can't fault them on anything.
Juniors Boughton Monchelsea is a wonderful nursery. The staff are lovely & attentive- my son is thriving there. He is so happy on both drop off & pickup that I know we've chosen a good one! The nursery is secure with a lovely play area/ garden for the children. The food menu is varied & nutritious. Great for encouraging new foods. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!
My child has loved coming to Juniors since his very first taster session at 10 months old. He has a great bond with his key person and is always happy to get to nursery in the morning. Communication via the app is always timely and detailed. Thanks Juniors team!
The management changed last year and I wasn't happy with a few of the changes so I sent a email expressing how I felt to which I never got a reply, very disappointing. I don't think they always have the best interest of the children or staff at heart and don't listen even when I know many people have expressed their concerns on the changes. It's a shame as overall I have always been so happy with the nursery and the care my child has received!
The staff are amazing. They take the time to get to know the children and support them so well as individuals, helping them grow and flourish, challenging them in a supportive way and always engaging with their interests.
Our children have been and are very comfortable, confident and happy in attending the nursery. We are always so impressed with the range and thoughtful detail of the activities put on for the children, and the food always sounds delicious and our children love eating it!
We are really happy with our experience at the nursery, and are really grateful we found somewhere which has, and continues to, look after our children so brilliantly.
