Overall Experience

The staff at Huggies have been very supportive with my son as he has cerebral palsy. They have followed advice from his physio to do exercise to assist his movements. My son enjoys going to nursery and enjoys the activities that are arranged.

Overall Experience

I cannot praise this nursery enough. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time there. All staff are extremely professional and accommodating. Management are very approachable and keen to resolve any problems. The children are very well cared for and the variety of activities mean they never get bored.

All meals are freshly prepared daily with a wide range of dishes. My daughter will be leaving in September to start school and we will both miss the nursery and staff very much. I do however intend to use the school holiday club which I have heard is also as good.

Reply from Dawn Machin, Manager at Huggies Day Nursery Ltd

Overall Experience

Huggies is fantastic. My little boy has been coming to the nursery since he was 10 months old.

He has come on leaps and bounds since starting at the nursery.

The staff are amazing they are all so welcoming, friendly and easy to talk to. They are always loving and caring towards my son and I can

go to work knowing that he is well looked after and is having lots of fun.

The variety of food and activities are excellent.

I have no complaints about Huggies and I highly recommend them to my friends and family.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Huggies full time since she was 6 months old and she loves it. All the staff are so friendly and really care about her. They have been really supportive through a few health issues providing excellent care and additional support when needed. The range of activities each day is

amazing and they are doing a great job starting to prepare her for school with their work on mark making and phonics. Thank you to all staff for making her time with you so enjoyable.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been here for 2 years, from age 2. We love it and will definitely be sending our son too.
It's such a nurturing place. Our daughter is only there 3 mornings per week but every member of staff knows her. She thinks Huggies is awesome.
I am impressed with the range of activities. My

little girl has come home excitedly talking about holding owls and lizards, meeting a police officer and his dogs, hatching chicks, singing at the retirement home, the music man, growing vegetables and regular classes in Spanish, dance and Bee Active (sports activities). They also have lots of activities which the children can explore at their own pace; a reading corner, role play areas (construction, hairdressing, etc), messy play and crafts which seem to change daily so there is always something new.
The staff are so friendly and my daughter feels very comfortable. They communicate really well, telling us concerns and celebrating her successes so I always feel she's well cared for.
