Our little boy absolutely loves Big Discoveries Nursery. We moved him there as we had a bad experience with another. We love the amount of outdoor activity there is and the free flow of different age groups. The staff really care about the children and engage with their emotions and development. Our little boy learns so much and has come on leaps and bounds. He learnt to walk there and has so much confidence. We get daily reports on his day along with photos. We are supported as parents and always feel listened to. We trust them and that's the biggest decision when leaving our child. All the staff are amazing. I would highly recommend this nursery.

The staff at Big Discoveries are absolutely stellar. Our children have thrived through their journey at Big Discoveriers and I cannot praise the entire team there highly enough. They have carefully managed the various dietary requirements that our children have had and always greet both parents and children with welcoming smiles and I know that our children love them all very dearly. Keep up the fantastic work guys!

After moving my son from another local nursery to Big Discoveries we have seen nothing but positive changes. His independent skills have grown immensely and he is now able to carry out tasks such as dressing himself, putting on his own shoes, and using the toilet with confidence. The nursery gives children the freedom to choose what activities they would like to do and my little boy loves to spend most of his time playing in the garden area and always comes home telling me about all the fun things he's done outdoors! All the staff at the nursery are so friendly and caring and the end of the day handovers are always detailed which is very important to me as it's something we lacked at our last nursery setting. We are expecting a baby and have already enrolled her to start next year as we have been so impressed with the care at Big Discoveries.

Fantastic nursery. I have seen a huge development in my son since he has been at Big Discoveries Nursery and he absolutely loves it! All of the staff are so helpful and friendly and treat each child as an individual and extremely caring. I highly recommend Big Discoveries. Thank you to all of the team.

Staff are friendly, helpful, caring and nurturing. The setting is a lovely size for the children to feel comfortable and safe in. My son came home with a smile every day. Thank you for helping him build confidence and learn new skills. Special thank you to the team for making my son's experience one that he enjoyed. I will miss dropping him and he will miss coming to spend his days with you. Highly recommended.

Big Discoveries Nursery has been lovely and has brought my little girl on brilliantly with all their support and love and I look forward to my baby girl starting in September.

What a wonderful nursery with fantastic and caring staff! Our son has been through a lot, and we were extremely anxious about him starting nursery, but there is nowhere else we would send him! They are caring, compassionate and, above all, a huge support for our son and us as a family! Both my children have attended Big Discoveries and have seen us through many milestones! They are part of our family, and we are forever grateful for their unconditional love and care for our little ones! Our son has made huge progress, and that is thanks to their continued efforts and commitment! The staff go above and beyond.

I could not recommend Big Discoveries enough. The staff are amazing; they take the time to really get to know and understand your child, and because of this, my children have really flourished. Both my children love going to nursery, and the range of learning opportunities they get is fantastic.

As a mother of two children who have attended Big Discoveries one who still attends and a third due to start I can honestly say there is nowhere else I would consider sending my babies. Big Discoveries is such a lovely environment, I chose this nursery as I loved the open setting where the younger and older children can all interact with safe spaces available for babies. The open garden was also a huge plus in our decision-making, all my children love the outdoors so this meant a lot to us that our children would have the opportunity to play outside every day rain or shine. Finally the staff who work at big discoveries are incredible, to say the least! I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone with my 2nd daughter at just 10 months when she started but I could instantly feel the love and care they had for her. The relationships that they have built with my children is amazing - my eldest still loves to pop in for a chat and of course a cuddle or two. Thank you for being amazing!

My son has attended Big Discoveries Nursery for nearly a year. He has lots of fun playing especially in the garden (the outside space is amazing). The staff are great and come up with such a range of imaginative activities. My son has developed a lot in the year and that's all thanks to the incredible staff. I would 100% recommend!

Big Discoveries Nursery is just that, a place full of Big Discoveries! From garden fun, playing in the digging pit or zooming around on balance bikes to making friends and learning life skills. I cannot thank the team at Big Discoveries enough for helping our little boy grow in confidence, independence and get ready for big school while having fun along the way. I 100% support their child-led learning approach. They respect the children for who they are and adapt to them to help with their learning. I'd highly recommended the lovely ladies here. So supportive and friendly. We'll miss you all - thank you so much for everything.

Our daughter has been at Big Discoveries Nursery for just over 3 years now and she has sadly left for primary school in September. In those 3 years, she has enjoyed the most wonderful time, with the most amazing staff! Staff that really take the time to get to know the children as individuals. They were always kind, caring and supportive, not only to our daughter but to us as parents. She has enjoyed the many activities, crafts and unlimited structured and unstructured play that they have offered. Especially enjoying her time spent in the garden and outside space, tending to fruits and vegetables and playing in the mud kitchen. She would always have a fun story to share with us when she came home. I have and will continue to 100% recommend Big Discoveries Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery or preschool.

My child loves going to nursery. He always has super fun and the ladies are always coming up with new ideas for play. Communication is always clear which is super important. Thank you to Big Discoveries Nursery for everything!

My son is so happy at this nursery and has come on leaps and bounds during his time here. I am so pleased with his progress and the ladies that work there are amazing. I love the outside space for the children and really love getting updates on the app.

My daughter is set to leave this term and I cannot express how amazing Big Discoveries Nursery have been with her development. She loves every minute of being there and I know she will truly miss it when she leaves. As a parent all you want is the best for your child- to know they are cared for and that you trust the people looking after them. I truly feel that at Big Discoveries. For the last few years it’s been a pleasure to be part of what they are and stand for. I know they have played a massive part in her readiness for school. Her personality has been encouraged and she really has flourished. So a massive thank you from us!

My son very much enjoys attending nursery as there are always fun things for them to do. We have found from different activities provided he is always learning something new. The staff are all very welcoming, lovely and very trustworthy. I love that they always put out different snacks for the kids so they are always trying new fruit and veg.

We opted to transfer our daughter to Big Discoveries Nursery due to location and because we felt her previous care provision wasn't a great fit for her character. We felt a more open plan child-led environment would be beneficial to her. In our 3 months' experience, we have been thoroughly impressed. By the staff, their interaction and engagement with the children, and the range of activities. It's reassuring that our daughter is so keen to attend and is her exuberant self when I pick her up. We've found the communication to be excellent both in-person and via the online journal. We would not hesitate to recommend it.

All the staff at the nursery are loving and supportive. My daughter has been with them for two years now and we've never had an issue. My daughter loves her key worker and they have a very special bond. It's a lovely, safe place for my daughter to grow and learn.

We moved my daughter from a bigger nursery to here in August 2022 and we are so pleased we did. She was screaming and crying every time she went to nursery and would worry about it on a Sunday night and now she is excited, goes in happy and she loves it. We have seen such a difference in her in the last couple of months, in her happiness and learning she is coming on leaps and bounds since moving, we just wish we had moved her sooner. It's a lovely nursery and the staff are lovely, the setting is lovely. I would recommend 100% for any child.

My son currently attends Big Discoveries Nursery and has been here just over a year now. He absolutely loves going to play. He has lots of fun playing in the garden on the bikes, making play dough, reading books, singing, dancing, crafting and lots more. The staff are amazing and really caring. They work really hard to give each child the best experience every day and my son always comes out with a great big smile on his face. They have helped encourage with healthy eating and trying new foods (my son is fussy). The staff have also been great with supporting my son with potty training which has been amazing and together we have mastered it. My son has come a long way in the year he has attended with his learning and thats all thanks to the staff. The nursery is a safe and clean environment for the children. I highly recommend Big Discoveries - 10/10!
