My daughter started in September 2022 and whenever she is in the nursery she always has a brilliant time. She's had a few accidents with other children in her class but the staff are so lovely and inform you about it straight away. I've not had one issue with any member of staff that I've met, they
are well-mannered and speak to my child with soft calm voices. Out of the staff members my child knows, she loves them all and doesn't stop talking about them. I've never met such respectful, welcoming staff members and I'd recommend the nursery to anyone living locally.

They are good with the kids. They involve you in any decisions concerning our kids. They let you know the food they had, the time they changed them. What I like most is sending us daily pictures of the activities they do every day.

Cannot rate this nursery enough, from the first phone call enquiring about space the staff have always been welcoming and thorough, they are amazing with my son and me, very prompt with everything. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting. Very happy I chose Giggles as his nursery. The app
is updated regularly with all essential information, messages and calls if attention is needed. I really cannot think of a single fault since my son started five months ago.

After a bad experience with our previous nursery, we decided to move our son to Giggles and it was the best decision. He is very well looked after, the staff there are brilliant and my son loves them and he misses them when he is at home. He feels safe and happy there and this is most important.
We
are very thankful to the management team and the staff.

Fantastic nursery. The staff are always polite. My child goes and comes back smiling. A lot of different activities are organised and parents are always kept up to date. I'm planning to carry on sending my child there until reception class.

My son loves it here and nothing is too much trouble, they always want your child to have a great time. They always do different activities to keep everyone interested and it has given my little boy independence and confidence.

My son started Giggles Day Nursery - Bramley as soon as it opened, he has autism and is also nonverbal and has little understanding. This nursery has been the far most important time to my child, they have gone above and beyond for him, and the staff are more than welcoming. Just overall an amazing
place with amazing people that work there.

Since my daughter went to this nursery her development is great and still improving, also her speech is amazing etc. Overall, I recommend this nursery for any young child. The staff there are great and are happy to keep updated about your child or if there's an issue they are happy to tell me which
is great, seeing as I am a first-time mum.

My son started here in January and in the six months he’s been there he’s come on so much. He loves nursery days and even asks to go on the days he doesn’t usually attend if we walk past. His key worker is amazing with him.

A lovely nursery that provides fantastic support for additional needs. I've seen such a difference since my little one started at Giggles, every day she runs in with a smile on her face. Great range of activities and they provide such a warm and welcoming environment. Definitely recommend.

My little girl started at Giggles in September and absolutely loves it, she always comes home with a big smile on her face telling me all the amazing things she has been doing from singing and dancing to learning new things and showing me all the pictures she creates. She thinks all the staff are great
and has made some really lovely little friends, she also used to really struggle with trying new foods but since starting here the girls have done amazing at getting her to try new things. Couldn’t of sent her to a better nursery she will be gutted to leave for big school this year!

My little girl has been attending Giggles for just a few months and I can not praise them enough! I was anxious before she started but the nursery staff were warm and welcoming and my daughter soon settled. The communication via an app is excellent and it’s lovely to see photos of her playing on there
too.
My daughter didn’t eat very well before attending but she has come on leaps and bounds in feeding herself and trying all foods.

Great place for a child to progress their skills. My child goes twice a week and to my surprise, I can see improvements with her reading and talking. I'd highly recommend sending your child here!

Giggles is the first Nursery that my son has attended and while he loved it immediately, like any new parent I was nervous about sending him. However, the staff have all been fantastic!
The nursery itself is lovely and my boy loves to tell me about all the things he has done, and even if he doesn't
the app Giggles uses is amazing at keeping me updated.

Absolutely amazing nursery, my son loves going and even though some mornings he's not in the mood and cries. He always gets given a cuddle till he settles down and then goes off and plays till he's picked up. Couldn't have asked for a better nursery for my son and will highly recommend to other parents.

Lovely new nursery in an ideal location for me, the nursery has been great with communication and has kept me updated on things throughout the opening of the nursery, best starting date and settling sessions for my son, as well as answering all my questions promptly. My boy has only been here for a
little while but he always comes home excited which makes me happy as he seems to have had a great day. His key person is great with him and makes me feel at ease. I would recommend this nursery to others.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Giggles Day Nursery - Bramley 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.922 for Giggles Day Nursery - Bramley is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.922

  • 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 Giggles Day Nursery - Bramley is based on 15 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 15 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.
