Staff: The nursery staff are empathetic, compassionate, caring and responsible individuals who looked after my baby girl. They helped her settle in, cuddled her and gave her the environment of safety and security which is so important for babies. The staff are organised and have themed activities to expose the babies and toddlers to the world as we know it. My baby girl used to ask to go to Nursery on her days off. Although we have now left the UK 4 months ago, my toddler girl still asks after her carers and wants to see them. They made her feel secure, loved and understood and I am grateful for their amazing hard work. Nursery: The location, resources and spaciousness are massive strengths. I was so picky about the nursery I wanted for my first born child. I had a list of expectations and Jubilee Day met them all! Nature, animals, free style thinking and nurturing the natural curiosity that a child is born with! The location, space and access to wild life is so fantastic!! Thank you

I can not rate this nursery high enough. My son moved nursery to Jubilee and he is thriving. He is so much happier and has so much fun everyday he's there. Staff are wonderful and the experiences he gets such as feeding the animals is brilliant. I moved him from an "outstanding" nursery to Jubilee which is rated "good" - in my opinion Jubilee is by far the better nursery - my recommendation would be not to just look at ratings, they aren't reflective.

Just the best nursery one could ever hope for. My children loved every second and the opportunities for outdoor learning with a superb team are endless. I cannot rate the team and setting highly enough.
