I couldn't be happier with Green Giraffe Nursery! After a tough experience with a previous childminder, I was really worried about how my son would settle into a new setting. But from the moment I spoke to them, the staff at Green Giraffe were incredibly warm, caring, and reassuring. They made the transition so much easier, and he settled in quickly and seems to really enjoy his time there. The environment is welcoming and the staff are lovely. It's clear that they genuinely care about each child's well-being and development. I couldn't recommend Green Giraffe enough.

My little boy has had a great time at Green Giraffe for nearly the last two years. The staff are amazing and so accommodating and ensuring he is happy. I love the app that lets me know that my son is settled and happy, I can also see what he has eaten and how much of it. I love the fact that you get a picture to see how they are getting on. The activities that they do are always great and that they always get taken outside weather permitted. I have been really happy with my son's experience and would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been thriving since she started going to The Green Giraffe. She loves going there. She is well looked after, stimulated and develop a strong set of essential skills for her age. We have a great relation with the staff who always take their time to communicate about our child with us.

Lovely caring nursery where both and daughter and son have loved attending. They've made so much progress since attending Green Giraffe and my daughter was perfectly set up to attend primary school. My son continues to attend and loves every minute.

We've had a great experience with Green Giraffe. My son has been going for over three years and has loved it. The staff are always incredibly friendly and supportive and we love that everyone seems to know his name, even when he's not in their classroom. We're moving out of the area otherwise we'd love for our son to stay and our baby daughter to enrol when she's ready. We'd 100% recommend the nursery.

I would highly recommend Green Giraffe. Katy does an amazing job managing the nursery, keeping parents informed and personally getting to know the children. Maida is also very helpful with any requests which I really appreciate. All of the staff we've come across have been amazing! They show genuine care for all of the children and are always so friendly. My son doesn't look back at drop off which is a sign of how much he enjoys it! As with all day nurseries, it's not cheap but that's just where we are at the moment ( I.e. industry wide, not specific to GG). The use of the local parks and outdoor facilities is a huge plus too.

My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at Green Giraffe, and I am content that she is in a safe, happy, caring and nurturing environment. The only issue I think would improve the service provided would be for more use of Welsh within the nursery to assist those children who speak Welsh at home.

I couldn't be happier with the care and attention our daughter receives. The staff in her room are truly wonderful - they took the time to really get to know her and embrace her unique personality. It's clear that they see and celebrate who she is as an individual, which means so much to us as parents as she's a loving little whirlwind! They do an amazing job keeping her active, curious mind engaged with new challenges and experiences every day, while still providing a warm, loving environment where she feels safe and valued. It's such a comfort to know she's surrounded by people who not only care for her but also nurture her growth and confidence. We're so grateful for the positive impact they've had on her development and happines.

We love this nursery! Both of our children have been so happy here and I can always be confident that they are being well cared for and look after. The staff are fabulous & I couldn't ask for more really!

Green Giraffe is a superbly caring environment in which our children have grown and developed greatly. The staff are so kind and caring and have always looked to accommodate us. Katy has in particular been brilliant over the years, but we can't thank all of the other staff members enough. They have all been brilliant and we would not hesitate to recommend the setting. We will miss them all!

Fabulous staff. Friendly. Caring. Cannot recommend highly enough. The children really look forward to going. We have lots of confidence in the nursery and in them looking after our children. Very approachable and, above all, lovely people and lovely to our kids.

Really good location close to town and not far from where I live. My children say they have a nice time there. Great nursery, really helpful and kind towards my children. Thank you for being there when needed.

A really well run nursery, lovely caring and well trained staff. Food is excellent with a range of tastes and styles. A key feature for me is its right next to the park for afternoon strolling and toddling.

My child has been attending this nursery since she was 13 months old, starting with a couple of half days a week, and gradually moving up to four full days now that she's older. It has provided her with such a great environment to socialise and learn. She has loved making friends there, engaging in all of their activities, playing in the garden and going for walks, and she has become very fond of the staff. Great experience for us all around.

Green giraffe have gone above and beyond in welcoming our daughter into their nursery and making us as parents feel completely relaxed. We were initially quite nervous about enrolling our daughter as she has some additional care needs, but we needn't have worried as all of her teachers fully embraced her care needs without any fuss, or hesitation and made us feel completely at ease. In addition to this, we are greeted by the biggest smile when we collect her every day, she has clearly had the best day ever playing with her friends and teachers at the nursery. Communication is great and I look forward to the daily updates via the app. Recently our daughter underwent surgery and was off nursery, we were delighted to be contacted by her teachers to say that they would like to pop by with a card and a gift following her discharge. Our daughter was over the moon to see her teachers! These small gestures have meant the world to us and I wish I could give them 6 stars!!!

Always feel happy leaving my son with the staff here. They're so kind and caring. He always seems to be doing different activities, enjoys the varied food offerings, and I love that he gets taken out for walks. I really like the detail shared on the app and the ability to message the manager and always get a quick response when required.
