1 Change in billing system was framed to make it more predictable for parents. Instead it resulted in bank holidays becoming paid days.
2 Our last 3 invoices have been incorrect and if we hadn't checked them we would be down by ~£500 over 3 months.
3 Staff turnover - Over the course of 3 months we have lost 2 practitioners and 1 manager who were all brilliant. They have finally been replaced but the communication has been so poor - we have had to chase up management for any info on the new staff. In the context of the safeguarding issue in another branch, parent-staff relationships/trust is surely more important than ever.
4 Communication used to be brilliant prior to the takeover. Things like parent evenings, newsletters and general updates no longer happen.

The staff are incredibly caring and thoughtful. At every drop off and collection they are friendly, chatty and always take the time to share what my children have been doing during the day. Every member of staff has so much time for everyone, which really makes a difference.
Being able to go into the nursery for drop offs and pick ups is a huge positive. The activities they do with the children are fantastic, walks to local parks and day trips to places like local pet shops are some of my son's favourite experiences. He enjoys them so much that we've now made similar outings part of our routine at home too.
I feel completely at ease knowing my children are at Green Giraffe and every single staff member is a credit to the company. Highly recommend!

The activities are great, going outside and going on trips, the app updates and photos are a nice bonus. Feel completely comfortable leaving our children here, it's a brilliant nursery and would definitely recommend.
The food choice is always healthy which is great as our daughter loves her food!

We've been very happy with Green Giraffe at the parade. Our son has been going there for the past 3 years and he loves it there. The staff are all fantastic and very kind/ caring. They're always thinking of new fun activities for the kids to do and our son has learned so much. He's really enjoying the little trips outside of nursery as well. Communication with the nursery is excellent and the team are more than happy to talk to us about any concerns.
Both my boys have been going to Green Giraffe since 2020! Now the older one is in school and I feel Green Giraffe has helped him so much in gaining confidence, socialising and learning for school. He is a happy child! Now his little brother is about to follow the same path, happy to go every...
For me, the best indication is that although attending for 2 years, still excited to get to Nursery every day.
Thank you!

Our little one has absolutely loved nursery life here from day one! The staff are great, they have really taken the time and care to learn all about my child and you can see they have so much love for the children they look after. They keep them really busy with a wide range of activities indoors...
We are so happy we found this nursery and have recommended it to everyone that asks.
My son has been in this Nursery from 10 months old and is now approaching 3. He is developing well and the staff are all really friendly and helpful. We have regular catch-ups with them regarding my sons development which is useful.

My children have settled in well in their rooms, all thanks to the friendly and accommodating staff as Green Giraffe Nursery the Parade. My son who's almost two have certainly shown signs that he loves going to nursery and spending time there. He loves the activities set out for him, and I do feel the staff put in a lot of effort to know and bond with the children, and try their best to accommodate each child's needs.
Our eldest started here four years ago and our little one is currently attending Green Giraffe at the Parade.

Our eldest started here four years ago and our little one is currently attending Green Giraffe at the Parade. They both love it here (my eldest still enjoys to go back when picking up her little sister). Throughout the years the management and staff have always maintained their professionalism and warmth towards the children and us parents. I most appreciate their clear understanding of child development and dedication to the wellbeing of the children. I always recommend the nursery to other parents.
Love the green giraffe! Staff are amazing, both my boys have attended since they were 9 months never had a bad thing to say. Always well looked after and they love coming to see their friends and teachers.

The settling in sessions we received when starting nursery were helpful and all staff were very welcoming and friendly. Drop offs are easy as she just runs in and loves the nursery so much, it's a huge relief.
The app is updated throughout the day ensuring I know what she's eating and how much. She loves the food! I enjoy having photos uploaded as it helps me to see how much she enjoys it and I know she's settled and safe.
Information from the nursery is well communicated, thorough and friendly.
Myself and my partner really appreciate the care and attention she receives every day that she's there. It really puts our mind at ease.

Our son has been coming to this nursery since September last year. He loves it! The staff are amazing and we have total confidence in the care and attention he receives. Highly recommended and so happy with our choice of nursery.

Staff are incredibly loving and genuinely caring, very prepared in dealing with behavioral issues, and very supportive to both children and parents.
They always take the time for detailed feedback at every pick-up and to log pictures and detailed description of activities, meals, toileting and naps on the app.
Management is very accommodating.
The approach is truly Montessori, with a wide range of educational activities, promoting autonomy and self confidence, with both structured group activities and individual child-led ones.
The menu is varied and healthy, with freshly prepared organic food. Eco-friendly nappies are provided.
For logistical reasons we have also briefly tried another nursery, but have chosen Green Giraffe high quality rather than a closer setting where we didn't feel comfortable.
My child loves attending Green Giraffe The Parade. She is extremely well cared for and is always learning something new. We are very happy with the care she receives there. Her teachers are shining stars.

Our family has had a wonderful experience at The Parade and we would recommend it to anyone. Our girls are now 2 and 4, both have been there since they just turned 1. The staff have been the outstanding aspect for us. The room staff and managers are all very caring, accommodating and down to earth. They really make the girls feel welcomed and help us feel comfortable about leaving them there. On top of this the food, communication, play space etc are all so lovely.

We've been absolutely spoilt by Green Giraffe. Our son has spent the last three years there (first at Cathedral Road but most of the time at the Parade). The teachers are extremely attentive, caring and creative. Our son loves it there and has learnt so much, primarily due to their approach to learning. Having looked around other nurseries and speaking to others, the fees appear competitive and we like the fact that nappies, sun cream etc are all included. We've never had an issue or bad thing to say about the setting, and recommend it to anyone we come across.
At every step of the way our child has had incredible teachers and we will miss them when he goes to school in September.

The Green Giraffe nursery (The Parade) is a really special place. The staff care so much about the children, nurture them as individuals, and provide a warm and loving environment. Staff in Apple Tree room go the extra mile to create fun and meaningful activities for the children. Our son has flourished in this setting and absolutely loves his teachers, who are kind, warm, fun, and hard-working. I trust them completely and would recommend this setting to anyone. Lovely, wholesome, healthy food and a lovely outdoor space.
