    We were invited to join in with an online Burns celebration during Lockdown in Jan 2021 and it was clear from that point on that my baby was going to be in excellent hands. All the team are welcoming, well‑informed and nothing has been too much trouble. We were delighted with the settling arrangements despite COVID still playing a part in the day to day running of things. I felt highly comfortable seeing the team care for all the babies and was impressed with how kid-led the setting was for the highly youngest age group. The room is welcoming, accessible and is regularly adapted to keep it fresh. The activities are well thought out with consideration for the age/stage of development. It was highly obvious that my baby was cheerful to spend time there and he seemed to come on truly quickly once settled in. I adore seeing the app updates each day. After reserving a place while pregnant, we have been made to sense welcome and part of the Big Bird family from the highly beginning.

    The girls in the Tweenies room are remarkable with him. I found it difficult to leave him at first but consistently felt reassured. The app is consistently updated with what he’s been doing and pictures, which is excellent to see. My 2 year old son started at Big Bird Childcare centre in February and has settled in brilliantly.

    He started his journey in September 2022 and is coming on so much with the help of the practitioners. He has developed in all aspects, from his speech to his coordination whilst discovering problem-solving skills and showing his emotions in the right way. He has built relationships with peers and is thriving in a calm yet enjoyable setting. I can’t wait to see how my little boy will continue to grow under the care of the exceptional team! Big Bird Childcare centre had been an incredible setting for our boy!

    The girls in little explorers are outstanding and look after her needs in every way. I adore seeing the updates on the app to see what she has been getting up to throughout the day. I highly suggest Big Bird Childcare centre to anyone considering using them. My little girl has come on so much since starting childcare centre in August 2022 and I sense highly cheerful leaving her there.

    Highly nice and supportive team members. They helped me get through the registration procedure easily despite my poor English. Our daughter settled highly quickly and goes to the childcare centre with a smile. We see a excellent deal of development in speaking and establishing relationships with other kids. Thanks to the application on the phone, we have a preview of what is happening with the kid when she is in the childcare centre and provides easy contact with team – this is excellent! We would also like to thank you for the lovely photos of our daughter that create fantastic memories. Big Bird Childcare centre was the best choice! We highly suggest it! We are highly pleased with this childcare centre.

    It’s lovely to see her going in and coming out smiling each day. The updates throughout the day are excellent as it truly puts my mind at rest and I can see the kids get to do a range of activities over the week. Everyone is so welcoming and accommodating. My daughter had attended Big Bird for a few months now and although it took her a few weeks to settle she is genuinely cheerful going in each morning and seems to have truly bonded with all the girls.

    I was so nervous leaving her as she was consistently with me, but she settled in amazingly the team are truly welcoming and attentive for all the kids. I can now settle at work knowing she’s in great hands. She absolutely loves the childcare centre and plays excellent with all the kids.
    Thanks My daughter attends Big Bird Childcare centre on a Monday and Friday.

    I suggest the childcare centre to anyone considering it for their kid. The childcare centre are highly welcoming and welcoming to all.
    They strive to help the kids development in their abilities at Big Bird and we truly delight in seeing the updates on the app which give us an idea of what they have been up to that day.
    The team were highly compliant when we were having dietary issues with our kid and updates between all team was exceptional relating to any changes that needed to be made.

    Everyone is supportive, highly well‑informed, welcoming and goes above and beyond to give the best start to our kids. My kids delight in the time with the team and their friends and learn a lot every day. I am truly glad we are part of the Big Bird family. I am highly satisfied with Big Bird Team, my son is in Pre-School, my daughter is in Tweenie Room and their development is incredible since they joined this childcare centre.

    My son has come on so well since joining, his self‑assurance has grown so much. The team are consistently so compassionate and excited to see my son. They post updates throughout the day tracking everything my son has been up to, along with a daily photo of an activity. Every Friday the team publish on the app my son’s development and next steps. I adore how involved they are in my kid’s development and the updates with them is impeccable. I definitely wouldn’t send my boy elsewhere. Big Bird Childcare centre is such a fantastic childcare centre.

    The team are remarkable and they consistently update me on the discovering that she has participated in that day. She has come on so much and that’s definitely down to the team that work with her every day. My daughter loves attending Big Bird Childcare centre, she runs in every morning and doesn’t want to leave in the evenings.

    Every day he surprises me with words that he knows. I’d say that Big Bird is a perfect place for a kid who learns to live and use two languages. Every day he’s telling me about excellent activities, about his friendships and his educators. He’s a cheerful kid in his childcare centre. Highly suggest. Big thank you to the Big Bird team. Big Bird Childcare centre gave my son an outstanding opportunity to develop.

    Our son loves childcare centre, has settled in amazingly well and watching him grow into his own little person over the past 9 months has been breathtaking. The morning team are incredible at helping him in on tired days and we adore seeing and hearing what he has been up to. The app truly helps us visually to see what he has eaten/been up to etc to allow us to settle whilst at work, knowing he is in great hands.
    He is a cheerful and clever little boy, loves interactive playtime and singing and doing the actions. Quite often at home when we have music/childcare centre rhymes playing, our son will do the actions that he has been discovering and for 17 months old, this is phenomenal. We know childcare centre has truly helped him adapt and grow and can’t wait to see what the rest of 2023 has in store for us! As consistently thank you, it’s made such a daunting return to work so much easier! The little explorer’s team are fabulous!

    My eldest started going to their free PEEP class that ran weekly and we have loved it ever since.
    Every kid is respected and they strive to ensure all kids get a voice in their program of activities. The discovering both my kids received has been second to none. You can sense the adore walking through the door.
    Our journey has ended with my youngest starting school and we will miss Big Bird highly much. They are the highly best there is. For the last 7 years, Big Bird has been part of our family.

    Since my son started in the Little Explorers room 5 months ago, I have seen such a massive difference in him. He has come on leaps and bounds and is absolutely thriving each day. The relationship he has built with all the team is so heartwarming. You can truly tell the team in his room have so much adore for the kids and truly care. The childcare centre has such a homely sense and all the team within the childcare centre and management team are consistently so welcoming and truly take the time to get to know you and your kid. The app is a excellent way to communicate with the team and consistently a place where you can find out about your kid’s day. The childcare centre has a excellent outdoor space where my son can explore and also walks in the local community. It’s also excellent the childcare centre has an incredible cook on site preparing and cooking all meals and that the menu is sent out at the start of each week on the app. I couldn’t suggest Big Bird Childcare centre enough to anyone looking for a childcare centre for their kid.

    My son truly struggled to settle in at first with only being 10 months old when he started. Each care worker went above and beyond to make his settling process as smooth as possible. Now my son absolutely loves going in and enjoys his day (so much so, that he tries to climb back over the gate when we’re leaving). We don’t live local to the childcare centre although highly cheerful to drive that journey each day he’s at childcare centre and we know he enjoys it. This is a remarkable childcare centre.

    Not only has she developed a close bond with her key worker, but they all have taken the time to get to know her and help her settle truly well. Even when not in childcare centre, she talks about them. The girls make the drop-off truly easy and my daughter is quickly distracted with all the fabulous activities they have set up for the day. I adore using the app to see what she has been up to for the day and how some days they go out on a walk, or visit the library and take part in Bookbug. My daughter is such a social wee thing and I can see how she has come on since starting at childcare centre. The weekly menu that also goes up is so supportive to see what new foods she is trying and also things I can then make for her at home. I would suggest Big Bird to anyone looking for a childcare centre for their wee one! My daughter started at Big Bird in February as I returned to work, the girls have been absolutely remarkable!

    My little girl has settled in brilliantly since starting in Jan 2023. The team are all well‑informed, attentive and welcoming. The all round development I have witnessed since my little one started in the ‘Little Explorers’ room has been fabulous, she thoroughly enjoys her days. The app is a excellent updates tool for parents and can put your mind at rest with regard to aspects such as eating and naps. I should add that my son also attended Big Bird from 11 months old until he was 4 years old! I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest to anyone considering childcare options. Remarkable childcare setting, well-equipped facilities and a wide range of activities available for the kids, changed on a daily basis.

    My daughter is in the little explorer room and loves going in each day to see what different activities are on offer. They ensure that she is consistently included by taking her out on local outings such as the library. The app is highly useful and helps keep me up-to-date on my daughter’s day at childcare centre. Would definitely suggest this childcare centre. All team at the childcare centre are highly welcoming and welcoming and make you sense at ease.
