My daughter goes to this nursery and she loves it. The staff are all lovely and very helpful. She always comes out smiling when I pick her up! 5***** 😃🙏
Read on GoogleAll 3 of my children have been to Jack & Jill's Private Day Nursery and we have all loved it. My son is 8 now and my daughters have just left here at age 4. The staff are what makes this nursery. A lot of them are still the same from when my little boy first went so it does have that familiar family feel. To shout out a few of them, Claire, Charlene, Annie, Naomi, Elisa and Anna have been the favourites with my 3 over the years. I'm sure there are many more that I just havent quite met. The manager Claire has made many changes to the nursery during the years and it just gets better and better. The children get to know all the staff even if they are not looked after by them specifically which helps when they transition to a different age/room group. My girls loved their key workers and were so sad to leave them. It's nice to be able to go to work and not have to worry about your pride and joy and whether they are being looked after well and being kept entertained and safe. The communication via WhatsApp with pictures and updates just gives you that peace of mind that they are OK and enjoying themselves. It's also great for when you just quickly need to let the staff know something or check in with them rather than phoning and taking their attention away from the kids. The fact they like to keep juice, sweets and chocolate to a minimum is fab but still will allow as an odd treat at parties etc. The meals always sounded lovely and they sometimes had seconds if they really enjoyed it. The nursery is extremely secure which is another thing that helped me choose here. The door is always locked and there is a buzzer and cameras outside the property. The back garden although small is very private so no access for strangers and also no-one looking in. There is always parties, concerts, trips and dressing up days to look forward to which really helps prepare them for school too. My girls were sad to leave this nursery, as are we as their parents. We have really felt part of the family and couldn't recommend this nursery more

Read on GoogleBad nursery. I came to see my poor daughter put in the corner while all of her friends are eating and having fun at the table. She looked miserable, I even thought she was punished at first. The lady told me that it’s because we didn’t pay for tea time… bullshit! I asked one of the moms and she said she didn’t pay for any tea time whatsoever and her daughter wasn’t excluded like mine.
