Best decision to put our son there, all teachers are lovely, great communication with management, all staff are great and supportive. Our little one is there for two years now and made friends and looks forward every day to go back in. Plus he says they feed him well so that's a bonus 😆 recommended to all friends

My Son was well care for in the baby room but when he moved in to the preschool room ,things took a different turn. He is development delayed. They fail to meet his needs and blame it on him being difficult, they cut his 30hrs down to 8hrs with immediate effect without prior notice. Other nursery was rejecting my son because of the feedback they get from Twins Gambles. Even the nursery he attending now doesn’t not see any of the issues they raised with them. The key worker at current nursery told me that, they are happy to accept him despite being warned by Twins Gambles. They said that he is a brilliant and talented kid to work with. The previous Manager at TwinsGamble Annabelle was very helpful and brilliant and my son situation only got worse after she left. They care more about staff happiness than children hippiness. I have talk to other black parents who children attend Twins Gambles and they have worse experience than me.

For the past seven years, Twin Gables has truly been an extension of our family. Entrusting all three of our children to this wonderful nursery has been one of the best decisions we've made. From their compassionate approach to the unwavering professionalism, the team at Twin Gables has consistently exceeded our expectations. The environment they provide is both nurturing and stimulating. All our children have had the privilege of being under the consistent care and guidance of the same practitioners. This continuity has provided them with stability, familiarity, and deep-rooted trust. A heartfelt thank you to Gemma, Nina, Sam, Samantha, Teresa, Jackie, and Lauren for their unwavering commitment and care. Management Lisa and Annabelle, your leadership and vision for Twin Gables have truly made it a standout nursery, and we're so grateful for the environment you've fostered. Thank you for being such a cherished part of our family's journey.

My little baby started going to the nursery when he was 7 months old. It was a very unpleasant time for me because I had to go back to work and leave him with unknown people. However I can't thank enough to the staff the way they care for him. It was such a relief seeing him so happy! He is so happy when he goes to the nursery and sees the staff there! We have great handovers so I know everything my baby has done, eaten, the naps... and also they have been really accommodating to the continuous changes to out work commitments. Definitely recommended 100%

All of the staff at Twin Gables are highly qualified and experienced and they always care for the children with sensitivity and kindness. My eldest granddaughter was in their pre-school group and when she moved to school the school commented on how well prepared she was. My young grandson has now joined the nursery and has settled in really well, happy to leave us and doesn't want to leave the nursery at the end of the day! Great nursery! I would highly recommend.
