November 18, 2021 at 12:00 amMy child has been attending this setting for a few years now, and she has enjoyed her time there since day one. The children are always kept busy with fun activities, and she especially loves playing in the garden with the new apparatus and in the mud kitchen! The staff are so kind, nothing is ever too much trouble, and I never worry about the level of care she gets whilst there. I love that I can log on and see what she’s doing through the day, has given me great peace of mind.

December 3, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son attends Safari Childcare, all the staff are lovely and have really helped him to settle. We’re so happy we chose this nursery!
They are so flexible too and really understanding. They have outside time which my son really enjoys. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nursery for their child. They also have cameras for uneasy parents to log into to see how their little one is doing which is really reassuring.

December 6, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Safari Childcare since September and absolutely loves it, I don’t even get a wave goodbye when the staff open the door in the morning. She missed out on a lot of socialising during lockdown but settled in really quickly, and all the staff are lovely – nothing is too much trouble. She loves the garden, and they seem to have outside time as often as possible. The only negative is that sometimes the communication can be slow, and I have had to chase up a few things numerous times, however, this would not stop me from highly recommending Safari Childcare to anyone.

February 7, 2022 at 12:00 amI’m very happy that I chose Safari Childcare for my baby girl. It’s a really nice place to take your child to, and the staff are very friendly and caring, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for all you’re doing for my baby girl.

February 7, 2022 at 12:00 amLovely nursery. My son always enjoys his days at Safari Childcare, lovely staff. My son been at this nursery for nearly 2-years, and I don’t have a bad word to say. He always comes home telling me about his day and friends and always leaves happy.

February 9, 2022 at 12:00 amReally lovely nursery. Our daughter has been attending since the start of January 2022, and she loves it.
The general atmosphere is calm and inviting; the staff are committed and friendly, and the opportunities available to the children is brilliant.
They have a massive garden in which the kids can play in and plenty of equipment and activities inside and out to help develop and educate.
Our daughter has allergy’s to certain foods, and Safari is committed to providing alternatives and utilising a really good medical system should she have a reaction.
I would definitely recommend.

February 9, 2022 at 12:00 amNot a single fault. My little one couldn’t talk before attending here, he wouldn’t socialise and never left my hip. He now loves preschool and has such a wonderful bond with all the staff. It’s a home from home experience each time he attends. Staff are very informative, give a wonderful handover and even when my little one has a hard day they are right there supporting him, and myself as well. They care not only about the child but the child’s family too. Safe environment, good education and the children have great facilities. The food is very nutritious and has helped my little one try new things. Nothing but high praises, also the SENCO is amazing and very helpful. The Garden is lovely and full of fun. I recommend this nursery to everyone. Always.

February 9, 2022 at 12:00 amSafari is a lovely nursery that provides great care. It has good facilities with a nice garden. The food menu is good and always eaten by my normally fussy child. They provide fun, educational activities with themes, and overall, my child loves attending.

March 13, 2022 at 12:00 amThe nursery is incredibly inflexible with payment dates, even though they take payment one month in advance and admit this can be financially challenging for parents.
They are also inflexible with the dates of care, which they will not let you amend even if you give them eight weeks or more notice.
I understand they are a small business but we pay full fees, in advance worth over £10k pa.
This is not how other businesses work and I would expect better customer care in such disputes.
The nursery would be rated very good or excellent in my opinion if management had better customer service and retention skills.

March 23, 2022 at 12:00 amEveryone at Safari has been supportive and understanding! I’m kept fully up to date with everything my little one does, and my mind is at ease when she’s at nursery! My daughter is becoming so much more confident since starting nursery and loves going!

March 23, 2022 at 12:00 amGood nursery. My little one feels amazing there and is always happy to be there. The staff are helpful, especially my little one’s key person. The best part is the camera view; you can check constantly what your child is up to.

April 19, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter joined Safari Childcare a couple of months ago now. We were impressed from the initial show around and hearing about what the nursery had to offer. Due to being a lockdown baby, and therefore unable to attend a variety of social settings, my daughter has anxiety when left, but even when she is very emotional at drop-offs, all staff are calm and welcoming to help calm her down. Since she joined, we have already seen such an incredible improvement in her understanding, following instructions and speech – we cannot wait to see how much more she progresses in all aspects of her development here. Safari has worked promptly and professionally to resolve any minor issues we’ve raised. They picked the perfect key worker for my daughter – someone I just cannot speak highly enough of who has built up a great relationship with our daughter; as have other members of staff. The CCTV helps me to feel reassured throughout the day as well. I highly recommend this childcare setting!

April 19, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son attended Safari child care 6-years ago, and now my daughter attends preschool at Safari. Friendly staff and love the care they give to the children. Will recommend Safari any day to anyone looking for child care in the area.

April 19, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Safari since August 2021. Due to being a lockdown baby and unable to attend many social settings, the nursery has really helped with this, and in the last few months especially, we have seen him come on leaps and bounds. Any issues we have had, Safari have worked with us to resolve them quickly, and I cannot speak highly enough of his key person and other regular staff within his room, they are always keeping us updated and reassuring us in terms of any concerns we may have about his development etc. We have particularly noticed his social skills, eating skills and speech have come on really really well, and I put this down mostly to his attendance at nursery. My son now looks forward to going and is always very happy when I go and pick him up. I would highly recommend Safari Childcare.

April 19, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending Safari Childcare for just over a year now, and we cannot say how happy we are with Safari! She has come on leaps and bounds since starting, and she enjoys it so much. Her confidence has grown immeasurably, and that is thanks to the staff at Safari! They are always so happy and welcoming and great at comforting the little ones when needed. I couldn’t recommend Safari enough.

April 20, 2022 at 12:00 amLovely staff and atmosphere. I can say this about the entire team, from the admin team to the staff that actually care for the children. It puts my mind at ease to know that all staff are very experienced and knowledgeable in child care.
Children are well fed and looked after.

April 29, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son joined Safari Childcare in September, right from the off the staff have all been incredible, I had some worries concerning my son and they listened and took everything on board, they went above and beyond to help us, since being at safari he has flourished, his language has come on tenfold and it is so lovely to see!
He loves going there and has a brilliant relationship with his key person.
I couldn’t ask for a better nursery for him to begin his educational journey! I will be forever grateful for the support that they provide not only to him but to myself as well!
My little girl has had a few settling-in sessions ready to start and they have made both of us feel so at ease for this new chapter were both about to embark on! She already seems super comfortable there!
Really puts my mind at ease ??

July 26, 2022 at 12:00 amLovely little setting that has worked tirelessly to settle my daughter after I had to go back to work. The staff are great and made me and my child feel a part of the Safari family. I have never left my daughter before, and due to having camera access, it puts your mind at ease. I would recommend this childcare provider; they really do go above and beyond. 10/10.

July 28, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter recently started, and they have all been amazing and so welcoming; they have never dismissed my millions of questions and have taken great care of my girl. I’m excited for her continued journey with Safari. She’s learnt how to drink from a cup in just four visits.
