My second son now attends Nursery Days and although we were always impressed and incredibly happy when our first son attended, the development and dedication of the staff to move forward and offer so much has blown us away. Whilst we are at work it's awesome to know our boy isn't just getting looked
after but is having a brilliant time.

Our son joined this nursery from age 1 and graduated in August 2024, just before starting school. The staff here are golden, competent and genuinely caring. Our son was a very particular guy and they really helped steer and guide him on his social skills. We couldn't have asked for a better team. Don't
get me started on the graduation show! The effort they all put in was second to none. We will certainly never forget our Orchidale journey.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our daughter attends nursery days and has done for almost 4 years.
She gets amazing care by staff who understand her and her little character. She always says how much she loves her key worker and comes back with stories of her adventures during the day. Especially in regards to playing in the orchard,
growing fruit, tending to animals.
As a mum I have regular updates about and her progress we work together regarding developmental targets.
As a parent the most important thing to me is that she is well cared for and happy. She is both of these things and so much more.
I love how much time the children spend outside. The staff seek to give the children an enriching and wholesome childhood.

Reply from Amy Brookman, Manager at Nursery Days

Orchidale Children's Nursery

from J G (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I was very nervous about sending my daughter to nursery after maternity leave. Like many mums, I had anticipated tears and frustration, but I am delighted to be proven wrong because my daughter thrives at Orchidale. It is a relief to see how wonderfully she has bonded with her key worker, who did tremendous
work to get her quickly settled. The genuine, caring manner with which all members of staff approach their role is evident, and I am always impressed with the creativity the staff demonstrate in the activities they put in place for the children. My daughter has grown in confidence and curiosity, and the regular updates during the day are a comfort that she is happy at nursery. The team at Orchidale successfully find the balance between building independence through free exploration and play, while also allowing for structured, age-appropriate learning opportunities. My daughter loves it and the staff are truly superb, I could not ask for more.

Both of my grandchildren are happy to be dropped off. The eldest comes out chatty and slightly grubby but keen to relay his adventures from the morning. The youngest (non-verbal) is cuddly and smiley, she waves goodbye and giggles on the way to the car. This is repeated on every visit to the wonderful,
caring, stimulating environment.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Both my children attend Orchidale. My eldest has been attending since she was 9 months old and she's nearly 3 and she absolutely loves going. She initially struggled at drop offs but the ladies helped with techniques to help her settle (and me! Knowing I could call, or even just calling me to reassure
she'd settled within 2 minutes) and still we receive daily photos throughout the day to show them both making friends and enjoying so many wonderfully imaginative activities. Throughout her transitions through nursery, it's wonderful now to hear her stories about everything she's done in the day all with a smile on her face. My youngest has come on leaps and bounds since attending Orchidale and it's lovely to see his face light up when we turn up.

We recently moved to the area and my daughter settled into Jabberwocky Children's Nursery incredibly quickly, thanks to the amazing staff. They are so warm, caring and supportive which has made her so happy to go there each day. I really appreciate the variety of extra activities they offer, as well
as the opportunities for the children to explore the local area outside of the nursery. It's clear the team puts a lot of thought into creating a well-rounded and enriching experience. Highly recommend!

Jabberwocky have provided a safe, warm and happy environment that is perfect for my little one. He has a huge smile on his face when I drop him off, and an even bigger one when I pick him up! The activities and trips out that they provide are fantastic and so are the facilities. He seems to eat really
well, and gets to try lots of new foods which is a bonus. All the staff are lovely - we couldn't have found a better nursery!

from Alison O (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My two children attend Orchidale. My eldest daughter has been attending Orchidale for 3 years and loves her time at nursery. The nursery plans new and engaging activities on a daily basis but also follows children's own interests and planning in action. The forest school facilities are brilliant and
trips are planned on a regular basis. My youngest daughter has recently joined at 6 months and the baby room has a home-from-home feel.
Staff listen to parents and value feedback. There is a consistent key person approach and updates are added to the online portal daily.
Thank you Orchidale!

Our daughter absolutely thrived attending this nursery. She was 11 months when she started and the team in the baby room put my worries about leaving her at ease. The staff were friendly, warm and clearly love the children in their care. That's all you want as a parent, to know your child is having
a home from home experience with kind and caring people.
Our daughter absolutely loved the day trips to the beach and forest school, as well as all the activities they programmed to keep the days varied.
Communication of her day was always very thorough and clear. I loved the daily log book and staff debrief.
It's the staff and the extra curricular activities that sets this nursery apart. It's a special place and we'll always remember our time there fondly.

Reply from Leanne Lamb, Managing Director at Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery Ltd
