We had several viewings at different local nurseries but this one stood out the most! From the moment we entered it was crystal clear that this is THE ONE! Managers and staff are super caring and loving 🤗🥰 great communication, weekly updates on children’s activities, fantastic set up. They also offer great flexibility (half days too!). I genuinely couldn’t be happier 🤩🥳 cannot recommend highly enough 🥰

I am so happy with Wiggly Worms Nursery. My son started here in September 2022 at just 9 months old, and he quickly became part of their warm loving family of nursery workers and other children. When I drop him off in the morning he runs in for a hug, and I know he will have a day of fun and activities and family style meal times. When I pick him up in the evening, he is tired but happy, and waves goodbye cheerily to all his new little friends. At home he is regularly displaying the new skills he has learned such as dancing, creativity and play, improved communication, and increasing independence in all areas of life. It is clear that Mary, Azra, Aisha, Sophia and the team really get to know the children and their individual personalities; and care for them. They take pride in the nursery and in the child-centred environment they have created; as they should. I never expected him to adapt to nursery so quickly but thanks to the dedication and fun, loving nature of the team he seems very at home at Wiggly Worms. Thank you for welcoming us into the WW family!!

The staff at Wiggly are so knowledgable and amazing - my daughters have had no issues forming bonds there. Any issues that arise are discussed and I can always count on getting some expect advise! The kids are happy and entertained, the activities set up for the kids are also SO interesting to see at the end of each week ☺️
