Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Junior's since they opened in Tunbridge Wells, she has managed to have time in each room and has absolutely thrived here. The staff have been amazing in each room, especially the Pre-School room where she has spent the most time and her key worker was amazing but all the staff

that my daughter had here have been kind, caring and understanding. The garden area is lovely and has a forest school feel. They help the older ones with learning phonics and spellings, as well as having lots of fun and they also got to attend the local pantomime which was definitely a highlight of my daughters! We have now left so my daughter can start ‘big school’ and we will miss everyone so much at Juniors but we have made lots of memories and friends! Thanks so much

Reply from Denise Fuller, Owner at Junior's Day Nursery Tunbridge Wells

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We are so glad you and your daughter enjoyed the Junior's experience and we wish you both well with your onward journey. Please do remember to remain in touch. The Junior's team.

Overall Experience

We've been so pleased with Junior's! Our daughter is 18-months old and has been attending since she was 11-months-old. She's grown and flourished as a result of attending Junior's and is displaying new physical and social skills every day. We're particularly fond of the Teenies Room leader goes above

and beyond to reassure and encourage not just our daughter but us as well. The garden area is gorgeous, and the curriculum is excellent. I would definitely recommend!

Overall Experience

Great nursery with an amazing outdoor area! My daughter loves coming into the setting, and she is always really happy when it's a nursery day! She has learned so much since she started in September, learning new words every day and using Makaton sign language. A big thank you to all the staff; they

are always very helpful, and they tried their best to accommodate my child's daily routine.

Could not speak higher about Junior's! The team are fab, and the nursery is beautiful. My baby is 18-months and full time. He is already starting to say sentences, and he is also uses signing, which is super cute! I really appreciate all of the reassurance the team have given me, and my son's key person

is amazing. The teenie team have been great, and I would recommend to anyone.

Overall Experience

My son joined Junior's last July. Due to being with me since birth and lockdown, this was his first time away from me, and found the experience very daunting! I am so grateful to the staff team for all they have done to support me and my son during the settling in. He now attends four full days and

is thriving. He is always singing at home, and his app updates are such a joy to see! The room head is brilliant, and I have been recommending it to all my friends.

Overall Experience

The service and care provided at Junior's Day Nursery were appalling.
They are constantly short-staffed and over-stretched, meaning they can never provide quality care. When dropping our child off, staff seemed disappointed they had another child to look after. If you don't love children, then you

are definitely in the wrong job and business!
We tried to give feedback and seek reassurance from the acting manager, however, it was very difficult to contact her as she was always covering for other staff, came in late, left earlier, or work from home (i.e not reachable). The room leader in the baby's room was hostile, when we asked for feedback, i.e. it's like they want you to leave as they know they can't cope.
When you join, they give a pack with their complaint process and the owner's contact details. When you send your complaint, however, they never respond.

Reply from Beth Goodright, Acting manager at Junior's Day Nursery Tunbridge Wells

Thank you for your review. We have staff ratios within our nursery that are adhered to at all times, even during staff absence. As acting manager, you and I had many discussions during your child's time here with us, where no concerns were raised. All of our staff team work four days a week, and a member of the management team was always on site should you have wished to speak with us regarding any concerns. We are sorry, and shocked to read yours and your partner's review, should you wish to discuss any of your concerns, as always, we invite you to contact us.

Overall Experience

This is a terrible nursery. They are new and busy, but they don’t have the staff and management in place to provide a safe and productive environment, especially during Covid spikes. The staff were hostile when we asked for feedback and information, and kept pushing us to do shortened hours (even though

we paid for half/full days). Strongly recommended you don’t’ choose this nursery.

Reply from Bethany Goodright, Acting Manager at Junior's Day Nursery Tunbridge Wells

Thank you, and your partner, for your review. We have staff ratios within our nursery that are adhered to at all times, even during staff absence. I would just like to clarify that you were only charged for the reduced sessions that your child attended here with us, not a full day or half day as you have stated, and you were refunded once you decided not to bring your child back to Juniors. Should you wish to discuss any of your concerns, as always, we invite you to contact us.

Overall Experience

I can honestly say, hand on my heart, that Junior's has been absolutely amazing for my child. He is in the Teenies room, and I cannot praise the staff enough for their professionalism, warmth and unconditional care for my child. The staff have a good understanding of child development and ease any anxieties

that I may have. He has a strong bond with his key worker, which is fantastic, and he is always happy to see her at drop off. At pick up, there is always great handover of what happened in the day, which is always varied and motivating. There is a good balance of inside and outside playing with great equipment to keep everyone busy. They are in tune with nature, which I love as well, kids get to feed the nursery chickens and have walked down by the orchards come rain or shine! There is even a sensory room, which is a big favourite for my child!

Reply from Emily Fawcett, Office Manager at Junior's Day Nursery Cranbrook

The management team at Junior's Cranbrook would like to say a big thank you for your kind words. It has been a pleasure to look after your little boy and we are excited to continue to watch him grow during his time at nursery.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Juniors since she was 10 months old on a full-time basis. The care she has received has been brilliant in all three rooms: Teenies, Toddlers and Preschool. The staff take such an interest in getting to know my daughter, her likes, needs, interests and have provided her with

learning activities to suit it all. The staff take time to get to know our family, as well as my daughter, and I always feel I am leaving my daughter in the best possible care when she is not with me. My daughter is such a happy and social little girl who thrives off being at Junior's. She has developed leaps and bounds with the staff input and wonderful environment. We will be very sad to say goodbye to Juniors next year when she starts her journey to Primary school.

Reply from Stephanie, Nursery Manager at Junior's Day Nursery Cranbrook

The management team at Cranbrook would like to thank you for taking the time to leave this kind review. It is lovely to read the kind words regarding the nursery and our wonderful staff team. We are excited for the year ahead to prepare your daughter for her transition off to Primary School. Thank you.

Staff are generally superb, my son has been in the nursery for the past 15 months and is very happy. He is thriving and is very happy and keen to go in. When you get the inevitable odd concern it is swiftly dealt with and communication is great. He is always doing different things and enjoys the

home-cooked meals.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Juniors since Nov 2018, I am extremely happy with them. His key worker is absolutely amazing. I have found the transition back to work extremely tough, but knowing that he is in such great hands has made it bearable. They do such fantastic things with the little ones, painting, cooking,

messy play, walks in the castle grounds. Really I feel so grateful to have them. I am always impressed to see them cleaning the room from top to bottom when any child has a bug. Advice: get your name down at the bump stage! That's how we got a place.

Overall Experience

This has been a fantastic nursery for our daughter who has been attending since she was 9 months old. Her key worker is excellent and my daughter goes to her with open arms in the morning. The communication is outstanding, the weekly reports are very informative and I have received nothing but outstanding

care for my daughter. I would highly recommend this nursery, it is very hard leaving my daughter and the fact that she settles immediately and is so happy here makes it that little bit easier.

My 18 month old daughter has been going to Junior's 2 days a week since she was 11 months. She settled in really quickly and this was mainly due to the staff. The setting is wonderful with so many different activities, my daughter loves going and is always eager to go in the morning. Her development

has also come on and this is mainly down to her key workers encouragement. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter is thoroughly enjoying attending Junior's. Her development, especially her speech has come on in leaps and bounds. The staff are all excellent, always provide proper handover each day and take and active interest in my daughter's activities outside nursery to include in her planning at nursery

so it feels like we are working together for both her development and well-being.
The nursery provides a wide range of activities that my daughter loves - music and movement and baking are particular favourites. She really loves her books and her carer patiently reads many with her.

The staff at Junior's are very caring, professional and refreshingly full of energy. They appear to be very attentive to each childs needs and take the time to build a rapport with the children and the parents. Daily activities are based around learning, but made to feel like fun! It's great to get

photographs and daily feedback about the childrens day. Food choices are healthy, balanced and varied, and staff give us detailed reports. The semi covered outside space is fun and well provisioned with interesting activities. We are very happy with the nursery, and thoroughly recommend it!

Overall Experience

Our daughter started at Juniors 6 weeks ago and we are delighted by the quality of care that all the staff give her. The baby room is bright and airy, and well organised. It is a lot more peaceful than previous nurseries so our daughter gets a chance to rest during the day.

The staff are very thorough

and attentive, and successfully stimulate the children with great activities and games. There is excellent communication and management is very dedicated. They also occasionally organise sessions where the parents can sign and sing, which is great as we can then practice with them at home.

Junior's is a lovely nursery, the team are really warm and friendly and the children are really happy. The team work hard to make sure the children settle in well, my son loves it there. It's great seeing the other staff from different rooms all make an effort from day 1, so he will easily move to the

next room when he is ready.

My son has always enjoyed going and often doesn't want to leave. He has formed very strong bonds with his key carers and his key carers are always available for drop offs and pick ups. He loves the food and has seconds most days. Finally he loves outside play (whatever the weather). Already recommended

to friends and mew mums in the area. Brilliant.
