Jungle Tots is a fantastic nursery. All the staff are lovely and it's clear they love their job. They're professional and kind and very approachable. The facilities indoors and out are brilliant and the range of activities they do with the children is great. I'd highly recommend Jungle Tots.

My two-year-old boy attends this nursery, they are very friendly and make us feel welcome, my little boy loves playing in the play area and down in the garden. The rooms are very spacious and they have lots of engaging resources. He loves the cooked dinners and has a really good bond with staff members.
The manager is really good at dealing with issues you have and she deals with them very quickly.

Fantastic nursery who perform a wide variety of activities, both inside and outside. Great environment, always clean, staff are friendly and professional and always go above and beyond. We've only ever had one issue with milk allergy which was with a new member of staff and they were completely open
and honest. Other than that they've always been perfectly accommodating. They engage with us on our parenting style and try their best to accommodate wherever possible.

Reply from Gordon Forster, Owner at Jungle Tots Day Nursery

Thank you very much for your kind and open review. It makes a big difference to our team to hear about such lovely reviews from our parents.


We look forward to seeing you soon.

I was very concerned about sending my son to nursery as he has some medical needs and developmental delays however as soon as I visited Jungle Tots I knew this was the right place. We received a warm friendly welcome and still do every day we attend. The setting is amazing, as are the facilities and
resources available. The staff genuinely care for the children and their happiness is paramount. I know exactly what my son has done and love seeing the updates and photos/video via the portal. Before my son had completed his settling in sessions they had already spoken to his seizure nurse and arranged training for staff, which I thought was fantastic and also gave me peace of mind. All staff members are very approachable and nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend Jungle Tots to anyone that is looking for the perfect nursery for their child. It really is superb.

From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew this was the place for us!
The environment is engaging, creative, imaginatively resourced and very well equipped, both inside and out.
All the staff have made us feel very welcome, by remembering my son's name from our initial visit to spending time
getting to know him as an individual during our settling in sessions. I feel confident that he will be safe, happy and well cared for.

My son started this nursery with delay in all areas of development. Since he has attended here he has come on very well and is making great progress. The staff are all very friendly and make you feel very welcome as a parent. Any questions or concerns about my son are answered and dealt with promptly.
I highly recommend this nursery which has great facilities for the children to learn and enjoy their time here and a lovely garden area for the children to enjoy.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Impressed by the Safari play centre adjacent, I decided to visit the nursery. After a warm welcome, my daughter was the centre of attention, her curiosity was piqued so she ran off and played. I was impressed with the bright, spacious, open rooms, and the general feel of the place. It was a big step
for me and I wanted to be sure of all the information. The team were so friendly and no question was too small.
My little one finds it hard to be left with non-family members but the team have all been so kind and patient to focus on her and my needs while she settled in and now, she absolutely loves her nursery days and I'm always excited to see what she’s done each day. I can see how happy she is and that’s priceless. It's reassuring to know that I can phone in to see how she is, and regularly check the newsfeed via my phone to see what she's been doing.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jungle Tots to any parents, especially those who are a bit anxious or worried about choosing a nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.980)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.980) out of 10 for Jungle Tots Day Nursery 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 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.980 for Jungle Tots Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (446 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 455 Ratings = 4.98

  • 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 Jungle Tots Day Nursery is based on 38 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 99 number of registered child places is 19.8, which has been reached with 38 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.
