Giant Leap Childcare and Learning Centre are Ofsted Outstanding in all areas (May 2018) and provide the best childcare all year round for nursery 0-5 years and out of school club provision and holiday care for 4-11 year olds.

All of the nursery's rooms are large, bright and spacious with additional soft play and music areas but their unique selling point is their focus on the great outdoors!

I could think of no better nursery!
Giant Leap caters for everyone. It's a truly amazing place to send your child. The care is second to none. The staff are amazing and can't do enough for you.
The grounds are very extensive and my child has loved every second.
You won't be disappointed.

Our son is flourishing day by day. He is supported in his learning & we are supported in our decisions about him as parents.
He ADORES going to nursery & talks endlessly when we collect him about his day & his friends. We are updated on his day through the online systems & can see pictures & messages
easily.
The staff are accommodating, friendly & I trust them explicitly with my child. Honesty & trust are necessities in childcare & these are present throughout.
Our son has been at the nursery since October 2015 & we have not once doubted the care, support & fulfilment he is receiving. He has made friends (& I have too through the other mums).
The outdoor play areas are exceptional; safe, full of fun & activities & accommodate the appropriate level of learning through play. The food & meals are fresh, I have seen this with my own eyes & our son eats without any issue.
He is allowed to play & 'be a boy'. He comes home happy, filthy & tired!! Just how I like it!

My son loves going to this nursery, he has done so since he was 1 year old, he has come on leaps and bounds since starting. All the staff are really friendly and approachable, I leave him there feeling at ease that he is in safe hands.

I started bringing my daughter to Giant Leap when she was 6 weeks old to attend the baby group. She's now 2.5 years old and attends the nursery in the mornings, the staff are lovely, very welcoming and take an interest in our family's wellbeing as a whole.
I have a 9.5 months old boy as well who I
hope will also attend the nursery.

My son loves kindergarten here. He enjoys being able to go outside when he wants to and has fun exploring and building around the school. His imagination is fantastic and this is because he gets the opportunity to use this is his play and make up all kinds of stories around the woods and the dens.
Cooking mud pies in the mud kitchen is a winner, as is chasing spiders and other bugs. Plenty of animals to see too, and he always comes home happy, full of stories and very tired! Not the cheapest in town but worth every extra penny. If your child likes being outdoors or using imaginative play then this is the place to be.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My daughter started at the beginning of November and we couldn't be happier with the nursery and staff so far.
Our daughter was initially upset and worried about the new experience (as were we as parents!) but every single member of staff has been friendly, helpful and really made us all feel welcome
as a family. In the early days, we were encouraged to ring whenever we wanted to see how she was getting on.
In the short amount of time she has been there, we can already see progress with her development.
She has already built a bond with her key worker and we look forward each day to hearing what she has been up to.
We look forward to the next few years and watching her grown and develop with Giant Leap.
Overall, the nursery and staff are first class!

My little girl started at Giant Leap in September and I can't recommend enough.
The staff are lovely and always remember her name which means a lot.
I work shifts so the flexibility of the nursery is fantastic.
The thing I like the most is the little touches such as when my little girl was off poorly
a few weeks ago, the class made her a card and posted it to us.
Fabulous all round service.

Giant Leap Childcare and Learning Centre is the coolest and cleanest nursery. My daughter has been here since she was one and a half years old and learnt a lot over the years being in Giant Leap. She is now four years old and will be saddened to leave Giant Leap in 2017. I am going to put future kids
in Giant Leap the staff are great, the meals for kids are good and healthy.
