I've had my child at this nursery since 9 months old and the nursery is amazing. The staff all care for my child so much and are always there to provide advice or any help. They are always looking at how to help us as a family at home and my child's development. I will be sending my recent newborn here when it's time, I couldn't think of anywhere else to send my child, I know he's safe and cared for and has so much fun.

Our daughter has been at the nursery for the past year and we are really happy with all aspects of the nursery. The staff are so lovely and caring and communication from nursery is excellent. Our daughter is happy to go each day and never gets upset which reassures us knowing she is happy and safe. Highly recommended!

Lovely, friendly staff.my 8 month old settled in straight away. I can go to work with no worries about my daughter and the detailed handover always puts me at ease. My eldest daughter also attended from the age of 3. Coming out of COVID my main concerns were her confidence and social skills. She went from not overly wanting to play with other children to now finding a friend where ever we go! Her confidence and imagination came on leaps! Highly recommend blue giraffe nursery

Both of my children have come here since they were 8 months old and have had the best experiences here! They offer so many different activities, outings into the local community, grow their own vegetables and have just started forest school for their older children. The staff are very friendly and attentive and give nothing but the best care for my little ones! My youngest is currently in the baby room and has settled in so well and made great bonds with her key person and staff in the room! Would highly recommend :)

This is such a great nursery. I have sent both of my daughters to this setting from 7 months old and the staff have been nothing but caring and supportive. They were very accommodating when my oldest had a speech delay and they were very attentive to her and did regular catch up meeting to discuss her progress and next steps. Cannot recommend this nursery enough. Thank you to all the staff there.
