Overall Experience

After a previous poor experience elsewhere, I was anxious about sending my child to a new nursery, but from day one everything about Giggle Tots has been excellent. The staff, in particular, have been great with excellent communication. My child loves being in the toddler room and has really developed

since being there. Highly recommend!

Overall Experience

The whole team here are friendly, compassionate, hard-working and extremely caring for our son. They have brought in several external activity providers including music and sport to make sure my son's early education is well-rounded. My son learns so much every day from attending Giggle Tots - not only

key things like sharing, reading, fine motor skill development, speech and language development etc but also things like continued toilet training, not to talk with his mouth full, right from wrong etc.
Whilst every nursery/school /business has room for growth, I cannot praise and recommend Giggle Tot enough in their care and development of my son, which ultimately is my main priority.

Overall Experience

Our son has been at Giggle Tots for about a year and we are really happy with our experience so far, which has been of the Tots and Toddlers rooms. At first, the transition to nursery was a big step for him and he was extremely nervous but the staff have been amazing and friendly and now he is very

at home there. There is an on-site kitchen and with breakfast, lunch and tea all served plus snacks. The food changes all the time so there's lots of variety. The nursery does lots of extracurricular activities like sports, Tiny Talk, music etc at no extra cost. There is an outdoor play space so they get plenty of time outside.

Reply from Natasha Blackwell, Director at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your kind comments, your son has settled very well, although it took a while, and he transitioned well into Toddlers and developing nicely. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on any improvements you wish to see in the nursery. Kind Regards, Natasha

Overall Experience

A really magical place with very caring staff. Giggle Tots Day Nursery continues to put on extras for the kids such as tiny talk, music classes and sports on Monday. They make annual occasional such as Halloween and Christmas so fun for the kids. Their menu is very healthy, tasty and diverse for the

kids, and they involve the kids in making things such as sandwhiches which really builds their confidence. They are very good teachers and really help the children to thrive developmentally and have a lot of fun. They treat each child as an individual and that helps build confidence in each one. Their garden is also very big with lots of toys and they make sure the children are outside as much as possible which is lovely.

Reply from Natasha Blackwell, Director at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

These comments are very lovely to hear thank you so much. Your daughter is definitely enjoying nursery and her character is growing each day. Thank you for choosing Giggle Tots. Kind Regards, Natasha.

I would say, there's no perfect nursery. However, I have to say this nursery is pretty good. My child its very happy with the teachers and I am happy with the activities and general behaving.
She's happy to go there and that's the most important thing.
The only shame is that the teachers are changing

often.

Reply from Natasha Blackwell, Director at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. Yes, your daughter certainly enjoys nursery very much and she is developing well. Please do come and speak with management about the areas you feel we can improve on. Kind Regards, Natasha

Overall Experience

My daughter was in this nursery from 7 months old until starting school this year and my son is currently in the baby room.
The rooms are small and homely giving the setting a feeling like a childminder but with the security of a nursery. I think this is particularly good for when they are younger.

The tiny talk and baby signing that they use also really seemed to help with my daughter's communication and language development.
The older rooms really helped to prepare my child for reception and her teachers at the school have commented on this. She would always be keen to attend nursery and would happily walk in so excited she would forget to say goodbye to me!
The outside space is small but they would be out every day and they do trips to the market and the local park when staffing allows.
Also, my very picky kids eat things at the nursery that they would never eat at home and still ask me to try and cook like the staff!
Overall my kids have been super happy there!

Reply from Michelle Liddon, Manager at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

Thank you for this lovely review. It is so important for our leavers to be confident and fully ready to begin their journey, so it is wonderful to read that not only are the children leaving us ready to go to school but that their new teachers have commented on this also. Great to hear that our tiny talk sessions aided your daughter's communication, and I am sure it will help your son in the future, I often watch the children and staff using sign language within the rooms and it is fantastic to read that it is also used at home. As we worked closely with a parent chef and nutritionist it is wonderful to read that our menus are fully enjoyed by the children, it is often the case children eat differently in nursery as they are sitting in a large group all encouraging each other, happy to share our list of ingredients with you.

Overall Experience

My child has been with Giggle Tots for almost three years and loves it. She's formed a special bond with all of her key workers. I love that the food is specially prepared on-site and they do varied activities throughout the day with a focus on culture and inclusion.
It really feels like a loving,

warm environment for children to learn and grow. It's an emotional experience, sending your child to nursery for the first time and the staff at Giggle Tots really helped put us at ease by building trust and showing care.

Reply from Michelle Liddon, Manager at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

Thank you for your review: It is such a pleasure to read reviews that say just how happy and settled the children are and that it is clear to see that attachments have been made with key persons, this ensures that learning and development happen naturally throughout the day, as the children are happy to engage with and be encouraged and supported by the staff that work so hard. I am especially pleased to read that during a very emotional time (as parents leave their children for the first time) you felt put at ease, the settling in time can be very upsetting, and being able to trust that your child is cared for is paramount.

Overall Experience

We have two kids at Giggle Tots Day Nursery, both of whom settled in so well and have established a lovely group of friends. A testament to the environment the staff nurture. Our eldest has developed an incredibly keen interest in phonics and drawing and our youngest has progressed through milestones

faster since joining. There have, of course, been days when they don't want to go in (a battle I think every parent has) and the staff have always given them extra cuddles and support when it is needed.

Reply from Michelle Liddon, Manager at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

Thank you for your review, the best a nursery can hope for is that siblings continue to attend a setting where the first child has been. It is great to read that our phonics sessions (extra-curricular activities) are impacting positively on the children and that the parents can see this at home. We look forward to continuing our positive relationship with you all during your Childrens time with us and of course continued visits once the children have left us for the next stage in their learning journey.

Overall Experience

My son attends Giggle Tots two days a week, and whenever he comes home, he will tell me he has had so much fun at nursery. We have built a good rapport with the management team and staff. They are always quick to reply back to any queries and send any relevant information. The staff work hard to build

a bond with the children, and it is evident. Overall, I can see a huge difference in the development of my son over the year, and Giggle Tots have played a big part in that.

Reply from Michelle Liddon, Manager at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

Thank you for your very positive review. It is great to read that your son comes home and tells you how much fun he has had throughout his day, the children learn so much more when they are having fun at the same time. Amazing to read that you feel you have built good relationships with the staff, as this is very important to us as a nursery; parents should feel comfortable to approach us about anything, and I am pleased to see that you feel you are able to do this.

Thank you for your lovely review of Giggle Tots, it is great to read that you are happy with the care that the staff team provide and how excited your daughter is to attend on her days.

I have two at this nursery and both are cared for deeply. The staff are always friendly and caring, my eldest is super happy and I feel like they are learning lots with all the great classes they have. My youngest is really happy too, sleeps and eats well and they are both eager to go in every morning.

Very happy with care while they are sick too, always call to tell us if there is a problem. Could not be happier.

Reply from Michelle Liddon, Manager at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

Thank you for your review. It is wonderful to read that parents and children are happy with the care we provide here at Giggle Tots, which is often shown to parents in how happy the children are to come in each day. We endeavour to provide the children with the care they would receive at home so it is always lovely to read that you are as happy as could be with the care your children receive from the staff team.

Overall Experience

Speaking to other parents about nurseries, I often reflect how grateful I am that we found Giggle Tots Day Nursery and that we secured a place for our daughter. Over the past three+ years, I have had a strong sense of how much the staff who've looked after her care about her, are interested in and,

in some cases, love her. I don't think that happens everywhere, by any stretch of the imagination, and I think it's a testament to the kind of people they employ.
The key persons she's had have been simply wonderful. It's clear that she has formed strong bonds with them. We really appreciate the effort that all the staff put into her development and growth.
In addition, whenever we've had a question or concern, we've always felt we could bring it up and discuss it with management and room staff. We appreciate that open dialogue and the willingness to listen to our concerns. We also appreciated the flexibility from the outset regarding the food we wanted her to eat.
We wholeheartedly recommend Giggle Tots.

Reply from Michelle Liddon, Manager at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

Thank you very much for such a positive review, it is great to read just how much the staff are fully appreciated for all their hard work in ensuring the children are happy and settled and progressing in their development well and also forming such wonderful relationships, not only with the children but their families as well. It is great to read that you recommend the setting so highly for future children and their families. Thank you again and we wish your daughter all the best in her future education.

Small but well-formed nursery experience for our small people. Staff provided a solid, measured and caring approach to their progress. Special mention goes to their child-centred individual process, which takes the whole family into consideration. Parks and staff have been forest school trained, which

enhanced and extended the learning space.

Reply from Michelle Liddon, Manager at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

It is lovely to read that your child has had a positive and progressive learning experience whilst here at Giggle Tots, especially since you feel the whole family is involved in your children's journey with us. We would love to hear from you on what ideas/suggestions you may have on how we can offer improvements across the setting. We wish your child all the best in their new school.

Overall Experience

Our eldest child has been in Giggle Tots Day Nursery since he was 8 months old and is now just about to leave for primary school. They've done a brilliant job at preparing the children for starting school with emphasis on phonics and counting etc, and he had flourished at Giggle Tots. We have nothing

but good things to say about the nursery, the staff are caring and great at thinking up new activities to do with the kids, and our children regularly come home with all sorts of arts and crafts. They also have tiny talk weekly, which both our children enjoy a lot. Our eldest loves his key worker and talks about all the staff a lot at home, and he's made lots of friends. The food is apparently great as my children both eat everything, and they've been great at introducing our youngest child to a range of foods in the baby room. Communication is very thorough, and you can always get hold of someone if you need to. Overall, it's a brilliant nursery; we like it so much, our second child is now also attending!

Reply from Michelle Liddon, Manager at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

Thank you for submitting your review; it is great to read that your children have had and are still having a great time at Giggle Tots. We strive to ensure the pre-schoolers are as school ready as they can be, so amazing to read that all the hard work and fun activities provided by the staff have had a positive impact. We look forward to continuing our relationship whilst we care for your youngest child and, of course, look forward to the visits and hearing all about "big school" upon collection of the younger sibling.

Overall Experience

We could not be happier with Giggle Tots Day Nursery. Our daughter has been attending since 11 months old. It was the best place we could have chosen to send her. She could not have been better cared for if we were doing it ourselves. It's a real home from home and the staff are so nurturing and caring.

Meals are cooked onsite, they have had many extra activities such as forest school which have all been a massive hit. Staff and management have always been approachable and communication is fantastic. We have always felt heard when we have any queries or requests, nothing is too much trouble at all. The confidence the children have and the friendships they have made will be long lasting I'm sure. We are soon to be leaving and can only hope that we have managed to find the same style of nurturing primary school. Thank you to each and every one of you for caring for her as if she were yours. We could not have asked for more.

Thank you for your review, it is lovely to read that both parents and children have had such a positive experience here at Giggle Tots Day Nursery.

We wish your child every happiness as they begin the next phase of their learning journey.

Amazing setting. Outstanding staff. I was an extremely anxious mother and the nursery went out of their way to put my mind at ease. The staff are friendly, kind and generally amazing. My daughter has made huge advancements since going. She's very good at sign language and general language. I would highly

recommend this nursery to anyone. There were some issues and I feel very safe that these have been dealt with. Outstanding all round!

Thank you for your comments and I am very pleased that you were put at ease during settling. I am happy to read your comments about how much your daughter has progressed, this is a testament to the staff team and you at home too, she has come on in leaps and bounds since starting with us. I am comforted to know that your issues have been dealt with. Please could you kindly let us know how the management can improve their relationship with you given the 3-star rating? I look forward to hearing from you.

Our little one has been at Giggle Tots Day Nursery since she was 6 months old. She really loves it there and is learning a lot through play, craft, stories and songs.
Settling in was very easy. The food is all freshly cooked on the premises. Our daughter loves her main carer so much she wanted to invite

them to her birthday party, so that says a lot.

Reply from Michelle Liddon, Manager at Giggle Tots Day Nursery

Thank you very much for your review, it is nice to read that your daughter has made secure attachments with the staff, especially her key person. We look forward to your daughter enjoying her next room transition and making the same secure attachments with the staff in our pre-school.
