Daliah has been going to jitterbugs for the last 7 months. The care and support she has received is amazing. It is such a caring and welcoming nursery. The nursery staff all go above and beyond to make sure the children are cared and looked after. Daliah has enjoyed the music lessons the French lessons and messy play especially. We get up to date photos of her progress during the day which puts our mind at rest. I would like to thank all of the nursery staff especially Emma her keyworker and Katie the nursery team leader and SEN lead who have been a major part in Daliahs progress and care and have helped us immensely I would highly recommend Jitterbugs Nursery

I work as a professional working with children services and I had my daughter at jitterbugs and can't recommend it enough. They are an amazing team who get to know each child individually and genuinely care for their development and welfare. They run hundreds of different activities and my daughter was excited every single day she was attending and as a parent that makes me feel very comfortable. I can only give this service the full five stars.

The worst nursery in Scarborough UK. If a child doesn't speak (ages 0-3), it's impossible to find what really matters. They are saying that all were good but your child shows the opposite. Don't be recommended.

Fantastic nursery, had to move away and wasn't happy we had to change from here. Got a great security system.
