I couldn’t recommend Ginger Jolley more. They are fantastic. My kids have had the time of their lives at GJ. The staff become part of the family. They are very good at adapting to the cater to the mood my kids come in with sometimes. There have been many occasions where I’ve had to wait at pick up because my daughter isn’t ready to leave because she’s so engrossed in an activity and has demanded she stays until she’s finished. Who am I to argue with a 4 year old!! GJ weekly schedule is packed full of fun activities and themes, a personal favourite is superhero’s and fairies. While still offering the freedom of choice to play or sit and read a book. Katy and Jenny are the perfect team and have created something very special. Thank you for caring for my kids and preparing them for school so well.
