Rude management, bringing external personal situation’s nothing to do with her into the setting and tried to create arguments in front of the children on more than one occasion. Communication is lacking and lies are told over email. When questioned about the professionalism the chair of the trust Kevin was also rude, obnoxious and unprofessional.

We couldn’t be happier with the care and education our children receives at Jumblies Day Nursery. From day one, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and truly dedicated to our child's development. The environment is safe, nurturing, and full of stimulating activities tailored to each stage of development. We especially appreciate the regular updates and observations that show how our child is meeting the EYFS milestones, along with suggestions for how we can support learning at home. The team are like family to us and we appreciate everything they do. Highly recommend Jumblies!
