    Team were supportive and attentive to her needs, and now she generally likes going to childcare centre and has made great development. Updates is generally open and honest, and management has been particularly supportive of our individual family circumstances. It’s nice to be able to view my kid playing with others through the App.
    It would be nice to have more information on my kid’s progression, perhaps in the form of a sort of parent’s evening per term in order to get a full picture and raise any concerns we may have. It took some time for my daughter to settle in as she is naturally a shy kid (outside of the house).

    I sense that the care given is personal to each kid. The team really gets to know the kids and they are easy to talk to if you need feedback or have concerns. When my kid first joined, I was worried he was not going to settle easily but was surprised he settled really well after only a few days! He is consistently cheerful there. The childcare centre is also spotless and they have outstanding and various activities for the kids. Overall, outstanding! The childcare centre team are all very expert and attentive.

    I have seen improvements in her discovering, socialisation and overall mood. She is very excited to go to childcare centre in the mornings and is very cheerful and feels confident when it’s time to go home.
    The team in her room display outstanding behaviour within their roles and they have outstanding updates with parents.
    I am cheerful to know my kid is secure, cheerful and in a positive discovering setting.
    Thank you to everyone at Hungry Caterpillar! Since my daughter has joined Hungry Caterpillar Day Childcare centre – Academy Gardens, she has settled in well.

    As you can imagine, being a parent leaving your baby with anyone is extremely daunting but this has become and feels like a second home to him. All of the team are so nurturing and supportive and they provide him with so much care, attention and positivity. I have consistently found my son’s key workers along his journey to be very communicative as well as taking the time to understand his characteristics and supporting him to develop on his strengths.
    I would highly suggest Hungary Caterpillar Day Childcare centre – Academy Gardens to anyone near and far looking for a childcare centre in the area. I sense very lucky to have found such a fantastic and cheerful setting for my son. My son has been attending this childcare centre for nearly 4 years, having commenced his journey with them at only 9 months old.

    The team here are incredible and reassured me that we can take time to settle her in and make sure she is comfortable. The team took the time to know my daughter’s likes and dislikes and she is doing so well. The updates is excellent and nothing seems too much for them if asked. I adore that they have plenty of activities to keep my daughter engaged and cheerful throughout the day. I adore the way they look after my daughter as if she is a family member of theirs. This childcare centre is fantastic and I sense cheerful dropping my daughter off in the mornings knowing she will be well looked after. The meals that are provided are incredible too, consistently smells so delicious when going in. I would suggest this childcare centre to others. Thank you team Academy Gardens for the adore, care and respect you give. My daughter started Hungry Caterpillars – Academy Gardens at the end of February, to say I was extremely worried is an understatement as I had her in a previous childcare centre and she was not settling well.

    My little one wants to go to the childcare centre to see his friends. Since my little one started at Hungry Caterpillar Academy Gardens I saw a progression in his speech and he is so much happier.

    It is a great childcare centre and all the team who work there are great, loving and compassionate, and I can trust them and leave my daughter with them, but there are some very simple remarks about diversifying activities and providing the place with a number of games, especially the outdoor garden, so that the kid does not sense bored because he will spend many hours in childcare centre

    In recent weeks my son has started potty training and all team have been so supportive. I appreciate all of the ladies working at the childcare centre but I would like to give special thanks to:
    My son has built a real bond with one team member and it is consistently reassuring for me to see my son run to her for comfort if he’s upset at drop off. She consistently goes out of her way to tell me what my son has been up to, even down to songs they’ve been singing. My son has a speech delay and so I really appreciate hearing about the little details of my son’s day that he cannot yet share with me.
    Another team member s very understanding of my son’s additional needs, and the worries that come along with this as a parent. I appreciate her kindness, patience and reassurance.
    The new deputy manager fabulous addition to the team and I’m so glad that she’s been promoted! My son has been attending the childcare centre for over a year now and since joining, he has come on leaps and bounds.

    She has become more of a little girl rather than a baby, thanks to the setting created by Hungry Caterpillars Childcare centre.
    All team seem to have the common goal of supporting the little ones. My daughter is very chatty when we get her home from childcare centre.

    Highly suggest especially their baby room is outstanding.
    Satisfied with the cleanliness and the attention my kid gets at this childcare centre. Outstanding childcare centre with attentive and loving team members who genuinely care and look after the kids.

    Management has been so supportive from the start to now and the team have so much passion in their roles, so cheerful to find such a inviting and nurturing setting for my daughter.
    Updates is excellent, especially the app. In such a short time, I have seen so much progression in my daughter since her start at this childcare centre! My daughter comes home each time from childcare centre with a smile on her face and talks about her day! Will be enquiring about the baby to start soon also!
    Thank you Academy Gardens for your adore, care and assistance! Will highly suggest it! From the moment we stepped into the childcare centre for my daughter’s settling sessions, the atmosphere was so inviting and we felt right at home even down to my daughter being a bit unsettled – the team were so understanding and attentive with her needs to settle her in.

    They kept me informed about my son’s daily behaviour, sending me photos and consistently updating the application. Academy Gardens is helping my son settle, has been very supportive and understanding regarding separation anxiety between me and my son and treated this with adore.

    Best childcare centre for me in this area. Great organised team and provide great attention to kids. Even as a parent I would like to be invited to a Halloween and Christmas party there because they organise very well for kids! Because of this childcare centre my son started to speak English better. My son is so cheerful to be there.

    it was like adore at the first sight. Excellent kids room, lots of activities, incredible team, outdoor playground and many more. The team is excellent!

    My little boy loves, loves everyone working there and he is thriving. It really does give you peace of mind. It is consistently a scary time when you put your kid into childcare centre but I cannot be any happier with how incredible this childcare centre is.

    It’s consistently spotless and tidy. There are often interesting events, which means that there is no monotony. This is due to great organization and a great atmosphere at work.
    I suggest. Very nice, expert and welcoming people.

    Our daughter was here too for nearly two years and all went well for us!
    A lot of change in team since our daughter has finished, which was in September 2021!
    Inside there were some changes and I think the outside area could do with some change!
    We look forward to our son starting full time in just a few days! Our son has just started childcare centre, he is so far enjoying it!
