August 11, 2015 at 12:00 amThis nursery is fantastic, the staff are of those that want to be there not of those that are only there to pay the bills. They take care in all the children and make it fun for all. The staff interact with the children in lots of ways always trying new activities.
The nursery are fabulous with children with special needs, my son has behaviour issues and they have been great with him, they also got him support during potty training.
They also cater for different dietary needs, my son is dairy intolerant and he doesn’t miss out at all they make sure there is always something there for him.
I would highly recommend this settlement to all my friends and family.

July 11, 2016 at 12:00 amThe nursery has a fantastic team who truly has the best interests of the children at heart. They work together to achieve that and we have had a great experience there! My son had trouble settling in at first but by working with the staff he felt at home in no time. He loved the soft block room and the garden and could go from one activity to another in no time.

August 5, 2016 at 12:00 amBenjamin Rabbit is such a wonderful nursery. My child only attended for a short time, but it was clear to me from the start that she’d get along great there as she transitioned into primary school. She loved all the nursery staff and was excited to go every day.
I feel very confident she will do well in reception now, and I’m very thankful to the preschool staff for helping her. I am very sad that I didn’t send her to Benjamin Rabbit sooner.
I know my daughter will miss her “bunny school” very much, but she is looking forward to her next chapter at big school.
Thank you again to all the staff. They are all so welcoming, helpful and friendly.

October 31, 2016 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to Benjamin Rabbit nursery for two months and I couldn’t be happier and more importantly neither could he, he started at 7 months old and I was very worried as any mum would be leaving her son, but his key worker and the baby team are fantastic, he is now part of their family, his learning has progressed and his key worker and the team always focus on the key things I want him to develop, he is always stimulated and looked after, we come up with ideas and plans to help him fulfil his potential, I’m so pleased I picked the Benjamin Rabbit team to be such a part of my son’s life.

December 23, 2016 at 12:00 amStaff are wonderful & very approachable. My little boy has been attending for eight months & has learnt so much. I am always contacted straight away if he’s ill. Definitely happy with this setting, we had visited several and was a stressful time but as soon as we had our induction here we knew it was the best choice.

January 19, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending this nursery for nearly a year now and she has settled in so well. The staff helped her settle in well and their communication with me cannot be faulted. As a mother to a child with food allergies, this was a big worry of mine but the nursery has been extremely accommodating to her dietary needs.
I have seen a massive improvement in my daughter’s social and intellectual development this year and am certain that Benjamin Rabbit has had a big impact on this.
I would highly recommend the nursery.

March 1, 2018 at 12:00 amMy child has attended Benjamin Rabbit Nursery since he was 9 months old. He is now 3 and his confidence is amazing. I credit the staff that work there. They work hard and understand my child’s needs. The management have always been on hand to sort out any issues quickly and I would recommend Benjamin Rabbit to my friends and family.

August 13, 2018 at 12:00 amMy child has been attending this nursery for almost a year. Within this time, I feel that his learning capabilities have expanded, and his social awareness has improved greatly. The staff are supportive of both child and parent. A great deal of care and consideration is demonstrated by the whole team.

September 11, 2018 at 12:00 amMy twin boys joined the nursery in January after turning three, they will be starting school this September, so our experience is only within the preschool environment. From the start, the staff have been very welcoming and although my boys had only stayed with their Nan, I felt at ease leaving them with them. My boys have enjoyed their time at Benjamin Rabbit, always happy to go and often not wanting to leave at the end of the day. They were quite fussy eaters prior to starting nursery however with the fresh cooked meals provided for lunches and healthy range of snacks, they now eat a much wider variety and I am often told how they like the nursery food more than what I provide! I feel they have been well prepared for school, they are very much looking forward to going, although I’m sure they will miss the staff at the nursery. Overall our experience at Benjamin Rabbit has been very positive and I have no regrets in my choice of nursery.

July 17, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter is in the toddler room and she moved in there in February this year, in the last 8 weeks the staff have ensured that they have established a routine with her and has had a bond with all staff members and appears happy.

July 24, 2019 at 12:00 amThe Benjamin Rabbit team are extremely professional, warm and welcoming and provide a fun and educational home away from home.
Often finding a nursery can be venturing into unknown territory, however, we feel truly lucky to have found this great environment and a team of excellent and dedicated professionals.
