My daughter has been attending Jabberwocky since September 2018 and engages in lots of fun activities, from painting to baking to visiting the local market and exploring their garden areas, whether in the mud kitchen or playing with water! I get to view her engagements in activities via her tapestry
journal and on the Facebook and Instagram page, so whilst at work, I can see what she has been up to. The bond between the staff and children is great and I feel like I’m leaving her in the care of family. I feel confident and happy leaving her to explore and learn whilst I go to work.

I am so pleased that we chose to send our daughter to Jabberwocky. The standard of care by the staff is outstanding and they were so kind in helping her settle in.
Our daughter takes part in a huge range of activities such as forest school, French, football, cooking and walks into town as well as crafts,
outdoor play, singing, stories and lots more. Our daughter has learnt so much in just 4 months and her confidence and her ability to be without me (her mum) has increased greatly. Jabberwocky is the perfect environment for getting her school ready and she is very happy there.

My children love all that Jabberwocky offers, they have both been going since they were 6months old. There is a very varied programme on offer, which plays to imagination and variation. There is a great focus towards outdoor activities as much as possible, from going to the park, exploring to find leaves
and bugs, to weekly activities like football, tennis and forest school. There is a large programme which caters to all abilities and includes everyone.
There is not a high staff turnover at Jabberwocky, which goes some way to show, it's a very kind and caring place to work. All the staff always have a smile on their faces and are always happy to engage with every child.
Food is freshly prepared and cooked every day, with morning snacks, lunch and afternoon snacks provided. Jabberwocky provides a comprehensive varied meal plan and are always trying new menus with the child.

Jabberwocky are my second family as I live far away from mine. I couldn’t do without them or how they care for my 2-year-old. My key worker has an incredible bond with my daughter and there are many other team members who really click with her too. The opening hours are perfect to fit with my work and
they’ve also been flexible when I’ve needed to change days as my family circumstances have changed. The children head outside lots to play. We work together on behaviour which is needed with the wilfulness of toddlers! I couldn’t ask for more.

I am extremely grateful for all of the hard-working staff at Jabberwocky for looking after my 15-month-old daughter. She was a little unsettled to start with but they have gone above and beyond to make sure she is settled and meeting her every need. The variety of activities they have to offer on a
day to day basis is outstanding and always to the highest standards. I am also very pleased with the high standards of the cooked meals that are provided giving my daughter a wide variety of meals during her time at nursery. Thank you for giving my daughter the best start in her life.

The extracurricular activities that are on offer are outstanding. My son enjoys his experiences and happily attends nursery without any concerns. He settled with ease, has made great relationships with both staff and children and continues to flourish in all areas of his development.

Staff are always friendly and welcoming. So many fun activities for children of all ages. I have a 3 year old and 1 year old currently at this nursery.
They encourage a lot of messy play which is fab! My daughter loves tennis and football with the coach and is looking forward to starting Forest School.
They have a homemade freshly cooked meal every day and thoroughly enjoy it. As a parent, I can go to work and know that my children are being looked after well and are having a brilliant time!

The staff at Jabberwocky are great, always happy to help. My child is currently in the under 2's room and the staff in there are amazing. They have given me the confidence to leave my child four days a week so I can go to work. If my child is upset and I am a little anxious leaving him that morning,
one of the staff will always ring and let me know all is ok.

Both our boys have attended Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery since they were 9 months old. They are now 5 and 3 !We cannot fault the caring , nurturing environment that Jabberwocky provide . The staff are amazing and have really pushed our boys to develop socially and educationally. The Nursery / pre school

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.978)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.978) out of 10 for Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.978 for Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (352 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 360 Ratings = 4.978

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery Ltd is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
