Jollytots is an outstanding nursery. My daughter was very shy and nervous at the start but with the encouragement and support from the staff she quickly blossomed! I cannot commend all the staff at Jollytots enough on the incredible job they do. My little one always talks about the staff, she just adores
them, and they’ve helped her grow and develop so much since starting. I couldn’t imagine her ever going elsewhere and know when my next little one is older she will absolutely be going up Jollytots too!

My daughter went to Jollytots for 2 years and she loved it so much and the staff adored her, they taught her so much and cared for her to the point they cried the day she left. Now 6 years later my son has been with them for 2 years and again they excell themselves The staff are amazing, my son cries
not to leave. They helped my son with his speech as he struggled. Also, fussy eater and allergies and they would go out of their way to make him what he wanted. Taught him so much. I myself struggled at times and they were more than happy to accommodate me in any way they could. I recommend Jollytots to anyone! Fantastic nursery and amazing, friendly staff.

Our family has been using Jollytots nursery now for around 7 years, first with one grandson, then overlapped with a niece, who both still talk about it fondly and now again with my one-year-old grandson.
We have always found the staff to be friendly, helpful and efficient but more importantly, they
do not just care for the children, they are caring towards them, warm and welcoming. I can honestly say, that we have no worries when the children are in their care.
I would highly recommend Jollytots to anyone and would happily place any of my 10 grandchildren in their care. Also, the food is amazingly varied and nutritional every day. The cook is fabulous.
Thank you all the staff at Jollytots, for your continued care and support.

My child has so far gone through 3 different aged rooms and I can say everyone has been very accommodating and they have all worked brilliantly depending on her needs. The care and focus the staff give her is amazing and I find her coming home each week learning new things!

Excellent day nursery, friendly well-trained staff who helped my daughter to settle in. A lot of emphasis on learning and development through play and music. Good outside space to enjoy play and fresh air in good weather. Would highly recommend.

My daughter has been going to Jollytots part time for around 10 months and is very settled in the pre-school room. She talks about the other children by name and also the staff, she even wanted to name a new pet after a member of staff that she is particularly fond of. She tells me about the games she
has played, songs she has sung and gives me any artwork/crafts she has made that day. She started going to Jollytots due to childcare circumstances changing suddenly and the nursery staff were very understanding and helpful with the days and hours that were required. I am very happy with the care provided by all of the team.

I am very impressed with my 3-year-old Grandsons progression. He is constantly singing nursery rhymes, referring to things that he did in daycare that day. He knows the names of the children in the room with him and refers to them as his friends. He talks about the staff in a loving way and refers
to conversations/learning opportunities he has experienced in daycare.
When I drop him off the staff are friendly, attentive and welcoming. I was very impressed when my husband went unannounced to pick my Grandson up that the staff weren't for handing him over.
Thanks girls you are doing a great job.

My girls and I love Jollytots. The staff are friendly and most importantly very approachable. If any issues arise from fees to children care specifics, I have found that I can just lift the phone and it will be dealt with. We have been with them for almost a year, they have activities for the children,
they bake, they role play, on nice days they play outside and my youngest even had a graduation ceremony for moving from Preprimary care to after school care, which she enjoyed very much.
