I have two children that go this wonderful place. My oldest is 4 he has his own problems but the girls here are so good with him it's unreal. A particular staff member is especially he's favourite she's taught him so much it's a godsend.
My youngest he's so excited to go to nursery even at night when
we go for a walk he thinks it's time for nursery haha.


Couldn't recommend a better place to send your children all comes down to the staff.

My son started at Kinder Giggles at the age of 2, his speech and language was little to none, he just babbled and made noises, he never made eye contact or took part in any activities or playtimes at home, he was very independent avoided other children. I had been having regular meetings with Community
Education Nurses about my son's development and it was agreed between them and other professionals that he had regressed a lot and his development was quite far behind.
Now Age 3 (turning 4 in June), his speech and language has come on in leaps and bounds, he LOVES playtimes and the company of other children, he's the most loving little boy and shows so much affection. Kinder Giggles has had the most amazing and massive impact on him and his development and I couldn't thank all the staff enough for their support for my son and myself, they have gone above and beyond for him and our family. I will be sad when my son leaves but always grateful for Kinder Giggles and their support.

Thank you for your review! Your little one has grown up to be such a gorgeous, caring little boy with a loving personality. He will definitely be missed when he goes to school.

Our grandchildren was quite quiet child and people thought he may not hit targets.
He has come on in leaps n bounds since being at the nursery. His confidence has really grown and this has made him more confident in speaking and participating in things.

Outstanding nursery I was very worried about leaving my little boy me and my son had separation anxiety's but all my worries disappeared as did my sons the home from home environment is very clear from the get go. The space and facilities the staff have provided for the children is amazing lots of room
lots to do and they always provide us with equipment if we don't have it. They have a beautiful sensory room and senco trained staff on sight. They have positive routines and boundaries for the children and they promote healthy eating healthy relationships and are always looking off ways to improve. They have been nothing but supportive of me and my son and I've never been to a nursery like this. They are kind comforting and they truly care about the children and their futures. The staff are all amazing and I'm so glad I chose this particular nursery for my son I never thought I'd be this happy and comfortable leaving my little boy I appreciate each and everyone of you.

Our son loves going to this nursery. He's been in both the babies and toddlers room and had a wonderful experience in both. The staff are so caring and form deep connections with the children. They keep parrnts informed about the children's day and make sure that everyday brings them new experiences.

Kinder Giggles is such a lovely nursery and preschool. The staff have such caring and kind relationship with the children. They ensure the children have fun and learn new skills, they manage to incorporate learning in fun little activities. My girls enjoy attending nursery and they are thriving. It's
great to watch them learn new skills and make friends. Kinder Giggles uses an app, which is updated throughout the day. Which helps me to see what my little ones have eaten and what activities they have been a part of.

Reply from Rebecca Woollam, Owner/Manager at Kinder Giggles Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you for your review. It's lovely to read, especially how much they are thriving and learning. They are both a pleasure to have within our Kinder Giggles Family.

My daughter has been coming to this nursery since since was 11 months old and she is now 3. All the staff have been brilliant with her, she always comes home and tells me about the fun she's had whilst there! They also have been brilliant as she had a slight delay in her speech and organised for a local
speech and language team to get in touch and now she hardly stops talking! She loves her days in nursery and you can tell how far she has come in the past few years!

Kinder Giggles has been so lovely with myself and my child, he really struggled leaving me when he started but with their help he is now always excited to go. I can drop him off and not worry at all knowing he will be safe and have lots of fun! The updates you get throughout the day are more than I
expected you even get personalised reports on what they are working on next, such a lovely nursery 100% recommend.

I never liked the idea of sending my son to a nursery before I had to as I have heard many horror stories but now my son has been attending this nursery for a year, before he started he would only be happy if me or his dad were around. However, since being at Kinder Giggles, he has come out of his shell
and is so much more confident in himself and he is learning more every day. The staff are amazing and supportive, the food the children are provided is nutritious and healthy but also 'yummy' (according to my son) and the nursery itself is exactly how I imagine a 'home away from home'. Thank you all for being so amazing.

Kinder Giggles is a brilliant nursery its like a home from home for my daughter. She's been at this nursery for nearly a year after having to move on from the previous nursery. It's a very inviting and cosy setting which is brilliant, the communication and updates from staff are very reassuring as a
parent with long hours. Couldn't recommend enough.

I think the staff at Kinder Giggles are very good in every aspect of their work in all areas from babies to toddlers. My grandson has learned so much from attending this nursery and now my granddaughter has recently started in the baby room and the staff are just great with her. She can get upset if
she doesn't really know you they have made her comfortable from the start and she has a good bond with the staff and so has my grandson fantastic nursery all round.

We didn't have the best start to our nursery experience due to a previous nursery, my daughter would be in tears every time we picked her up.
Kinder Giggles is an amazing nursery, my daughter is always looking forward to going in to see her friends and the staff, especially one in particular.
I have
nothing but amazing things to say their brilliant with my daughter, she's always learning new things, spending time playing, reading, and doing some of her favourite things.
I won't ever send my children elsewhere, it's such a lovely nursery with a lovely atmosphere too. Every child I've seen going into nursery is happy to be there.
It's hard enough to pass over your child to someone you don't know but when their happy to go in and excited to go it makes it that little bit easier.
Thank you Kinder Giggles.

My son has only been at Kinder Giggles for a month but I am so impressed with the nursery! My son is currently undergoing tests and assessments for autism, he is non-verbal and can be challenging. His previous nursery didn't do a lot with him and he didn't enjoy it. I've seen such a change in him! I
love how the nursery always ask about waking him up from a nap, my son now sleeps so much better! The staff are absolutely lovely and so calm, he is now always excited to go to nursery. The change of nursey has had such a positive effect on my son, I cannot thank the staff enough! I love the nursery that much that I'm choosing to keep at this nursery instead of school nursery!

Really pleased with all the staff, my little one has never been to anyone before but he has been helped to settle in well. So happy with the setup around intolerance and allergies, couldn't ask for better. For a mum who wouldn't ever put a child in nursery to being happy to drop my little one off and
not worry. You're kept up to date throughout the day with what they're doing, I'd recommend to everyone.

What an amazing nursery Kinder Giggles is. Both my children attend this nursery, and with my daughter's additional needs, the staff have taken this on board and help her thrive. If I was to be asked by any parent about the nursery my children attend, I would recommend Kinder Giggles in a heartbeat,
the staff are fantastic and the chats we have at drop off and collection are brilliant and very informative and the daily updates on the app are brilliant to see the children enjoying the activities at nursery. My children can't wait to get out of the house in the mornings to enjoy another fun day at nursery.

This is such a wonderful nursery. Both my boys have gone there and my youngest is currently in the baby room. They are supportive, kind, caring and warm. I have no worries at all while my children are there. I feel like they are loved and cared about as if they were their own. It is a small nursery
and feels like an extension of our family. They do fun activities with the children, have good routines and teach the children good values. The children have plenty of outdoor time too. No hesitation in sending both my children here and we will miss everyone there when they leave.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Kinder Giggles Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.942 for Kinder Giggles Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.942

  • 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 Kinder Giggles Nursery & Pre-School is based on 16 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 16 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.
