I have had two children pass through Giggles 'N' Squiggles Discovery, and I have had absolutely nothing but praise for this nursery and the team there.
My son is physically disabled and he was taken on without hesitation, he was made to feel included in all aspects of his nursery life and he thrived
whilst being here. My daughter is currently here and has had issues with her hearing and speech. Discovery has been so supportive of her needs and have done its best to get support in place for the both of us. My daughter can struggle with her emotions and they are brilliant at ensuring she is safe and happy at nursery and allowing her to go through the motions of expressing herself.
I cannot fault the staff, every day we are met with smiles and happy faces. We are kept up to date with a daily report on what the class have been up to and at least a weekly personal photo of our daughter, plus a door handover at pick up. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone!

My twins started after Easter and have had a wonderful time here. They are well looked after and genuinely cared for. We've had lots of illnesses between the 2 and the staff ask after whoever is ill/off and send well wishes home.
My boy twin has speech issues and all the staff really have been amazing
at getting him to use his words and he is now a lot more verbal and has less upset outbursts as he is more able to explain what he wants/needs.

My daughter has attended since she turned 2.
She was a lockdown baby and had never been away from me or a family member at all and had never spoken to anybody besides us, she was incredibly timid and very anxious about new people and experiences.
She not only settled really well, but thrived, and
within a few short months her vocabulary and imagination grew beyond what we could have expected. She surprises me every day with her experiences and ideas and stories about her day.
Aside from her development we have also been supported through her dad's deployment, the SENCO has put us in touch with services that can help support my daughter in the areas she struggles, all members of the team treat her with care and respect, my daughter has a fantastic rapport with all the staff.
We get lots of opportunities to hear how our daughter is developing, which is fantastic, though we can see the change in her and how she is flourishing.
We will be sad when it is time to move onto school, but ready!

My son has been in this nursery for over a year and he has greatly thrived in all aspects of his development. The setting is clean and safe, with the staff trustworthy and genuinely caring and accommodating. Communication with parents is excellent and their commitment is admirable. Highly recommended

The experience I have had with this nursery has been fantastic from day one. My son attends this nursery, and I honestly couldn’t fault them. From an only parent with mental health problems and attachment issues to my son, the school have been nothing but understanding and constantly putting me at ease.
It’s helped my son's development tremendously. The staff are super caring and always reassuring. The communication is great, and always get updates on what’s been happening.

My baby son attended the nursery when he was about 19 months old. He loved it so much. The staff are very kind, supportive and professional. They helped my son and even me. They listen and understand my feelings when we have a family problem and they're really doing their best to help. The nursery is
really nice and clean, the garden, rooms and playground are big enough for the kids. Safe environment and I recommend this nursery for everyone.

My son is really happy attending his nursery. The staff are really helpful and knowledgeable about their job and kids. My boy was made to feel welcome when we started nursery and he really enjoys going to see his best friends every day.

My son is, unfortunately, leaving this wonderful nursery due to starting school in September. He has been attending since the age of one and all of the staff have helped him in many ways. He had speech delays and struggled with missing lots of learning due to the pandemic, however thanks to the dedication
and support from the team, he is now a confident boy who is now a chatterbox.
He has made irreplaceable bonds, especially with his key workers. If you would like a nursery that provides a nurturing, fun and safe space for your child, this is the perfect place.

My little boy started at this nursery during a lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic and is about to leave to go to school.
My son has complex needs as he has Cerebral Palsy meaning physical disability and developmental delay.
The team at Giggles n Squiggles Discovery have always been very inclusive
and welcoming to my son and us as parents. I have never felt that he is a burden or any different from the other children. Although saying that, they do take extra care of him due to his needs, everything is taken into account.
He joins in as many activities as he is able to (and there are a lot!), he is always happy to go in the morning and has a smile on his face when I pick him up.
I'm very pleased I picked this nursery for my precious boy.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.051)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.051) out of 10 for Giggles 'N' Squiggles Discovery 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 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 4.983 for Giggles 'N' Squiggles Discovery is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.983

  • 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 4.068 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Giggles 'N' Squiggles Discovery is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.568

  • 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.
