September 11, 2024 at 8:49 amFrom the very first day, my husband and I were so impressed with the warmth and care that the team provide.
Before attending my daughter was very shy and nervous in groups. They dealt with this in a lovely and supportive manner, and she grew in self‑assurance and went to school fully prepared and cheerful.
I adore the range of activities and the weekly topics, which are varied and centred around the kids’s interests.
I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest this childcare centre to others. My daughter and son have both attended Flipper’s Childcare centre.

October 27, 2024 at 12:21 pmMy daughter attended from 8 months until she went to school this September. The carers are incredible – welcoming and genuinely loving people who want the best for every kid. Each week there is a different theme, i.e. transport, the beach, nature etc, and age-appropriate activities are planned around the theme according to which room the kids are in – the tiniest babies have as much engagement and enjoyable with the theme as the oldest kids. They delight in the activities but are also encouraged to grow in independence. As a result, the older kids are confident and raring to go to school when it’s time! I should also mention there are plenty of special events each year – trips out, family picnics, special guests – my daughter met an owl at Flippers earlier this year! And the kids bond for life, mine still meets for playdates with her Flippers friends. Also – photo updates each week. Absolutely exceptional. The best thing we’ve done for her. Absolutely exceptional childcare centre, I suggest it to everyone!

November 15, 2024 at 2:35 amOur daughter started in the Starfish room aged 11 months and is now 3 and in her final year. The carers are all remarkable and really take the time to get to know all the kids and us parents individually so they can meet everyone’s needs and provide the best care. The weekly/monthly themes are so engaging and we adore seeing the photos from each week. Our daughter is consistently so excited to tell us what she has done each day and she has come on leaps and bounds especially in the past year. I know she will be fully prepared to begin her school journey in September thanks to her time at Flippers. Cannot suggest Flippers Childcare centre enough.

November 19, 2024 at 2:41 amI can not talk more highly of Flippers Childcare centre than I already do. They are not some flashy fresh childcare centre, but what they are is remarkable.
I have absolute trust in their abilities to look after my kid and am constantly amazed at how much she progresses in all aspects while in their care. A remarkable childcare centre that really cares.

I am so pleased that he spends my working days somewhere where he is cared for so well. My son has attended Flippers since October 2016 and we have been so impressed by his development since then.

January 1, 2025 at 8:00 amThe team are all extremely welcoming and enjoyable and create a excellent setting for the kids. The activities are well thought out and match the kids’s interests. Updates feedback is consistently forthcoming and lunchtime is consistently varied, healthy and interesting with enough choice for our fussy eater. We are very glad we chose Flippers and highly suggest it. Flippers has been a fantastic place for our son to attend.

January 13, 2025 at 1:47 amNow aged 3 she continues to adore attending. It is such a nurturing setting with a real family sense. Team really go above and beyond to create a fantastic journey for the kids, for example, through regular outings outside of the childcare centre, family events and not forgetting the fabulous Christmas party! I consistently sense that team really know my daughter and how to get the best out of her (she is naturally quite shy and quiet) by gently encouraging her to participate. I have also been impressed with how team accommodate family routines and preferences for example around naps and potty training. Naps, in particular, had been a challenge for us but they really put in the time to work on this with her. The dedicated cot room for the starfish really helped with this ( I know not all nurseries have this). My daughter started Flippers aged 11 months and settled in straight away.

The team are consistently cheerful, welcoming and approachable!
We adore all the activities Flippers do to engage the little ones! And best of all we adore the weekly photo updates of what our little boy did in the week! We’re really cheerful we chose Flippers for our little boy’s childcare centre!

January 22, 2025 at 12:38 pmBoth have benefitted hugely from the nurturing and loving atmosphere created by the fantastic team, a remarkable start in life I cannot speak highly enough of them. My daughter went there and my son is in his last year.

February 12, 2025 at 7:57 amI cannot praise the flippers team enough for their high level of care and assistance given to my daughter. Not only are her physical needs met, she has also being nurtured, challenged mentally and emotionally to shape her into a well-rounded, healthy and intelligent little girl.
They encourage her interests whilst linking it in with the curriculum in order to help her learn and develop on course.
10/10 would suggest. My daughter has been attending Flippers since she was 9 months old, and now she’s getting ready to start school in September.

April 13, 2025 at 5:44 pmI have now seen for myself what a fantastic childcare centre it is. My son settled in really quickly and that was mainly due to the fabulous assistance and care from the team. He absolutely loves going in each week and is excited to find out what activities he’ll be doing with his new friends. I’ve been so impressed with every aspect of Flippers that I know his little sister will be following in his footsteps when she’s a bit older. The lovely family atmosphere is what makes it such a special place. A couple of friends highly recommended Flippers to me when I was looking for somewhere to send my son when returning to work.

April 20, 2025 at 2:57 pmHe is super cheerful there. I adore all the photos they take, even in the background he is consistently cheerful and playing. The Christmas craft they made was so imaginative. My little boy started at 11 months old.

May 11, 2025 at 10:21 pmMy son, aged 3 started in January this year and we have been extremely impressed. He is so cheerful there, he even asks to go in at weekends. In fact he loves it so much he is now going an extra day. The team are lovely, attentive and approachable. The team have consistently made time to talk to us and address any concerns. I get to see lots of pictures of all the enjoyable stuff he has been up to. I sense confident and reassured that he is cheerful and thriving there when I go to work. I would highly suggest this childcare centre. What a fantastic childcare centre.

May 18, 2025 at 9:09 pmI couldn’t be happier with the care she receives. I adore looking through the development file and having arts and crafts sent home at Christmas was a lovely surprise! They have a lovely outside area and take the kids out on trips. The team are all approachable and welcoming. When my daughter is at Flippers I have no concerns and can go to work cheerful, knowing she is being well looked after. When circumstances changed and I had to use kid care, I was very apprehensive, I was recommended Flippers by two friends who had kids there.

May 29, 2025 at 11:28 amHe has consistently enjoyed going and seems very cheerful there. Flippers consistently have enjoyable activities for him to participate in. They also arrange trips outside the childcare centre for family’s, which is excellent to get to know the other parents and team outside of their working day. Flippers is a lovely childcare centre with excellent welcoming team. My Little boy has been at Flippers for a year now.

June 12, 2025 at 9:07 pmI couldn’t thank the team enough for how well they prepared him for big school. My daughter now attends and is thriving. The activities they do are excellent and they have incredible days out! Team are lovely, consistently so attentive, never had any issues. My son was at Flippers for 2 years and he loved it!

June 25, 2025 at 7:00 amThe care is exceptional, with experienced and welcoming team who make both the kids and parents sense at ease from day one. Every week the kids are involved in different activities based around a topic, which sparks their interest and creativity. The Flippers team create a lovely, inviting setting which in my journey has helped my kids grow in self‑assurance and independence ready to start school. I have two boys and both have attended Flippers since they were 12 months old.
Jamie Ellis
June 28, 2025 at 4:50 amBoth my kids have been to Flippers, 9 years apart and the extremely high standard of care and adore shown to them both has not diminished over that time.
Our little one is so excited every morning we go in. Everyone is compassionate and welcoming. It’s a small childcare centre but I sense this is what makes it so special. Everyone is like family.
I would and have recommended Flippers to friends who in turn have rated this childcare centre highly. Flippers are incredible.

June 29, 2025 at 3:20 amFrom day one the team have made me sense completely at ease leaving my daughter in their care. I know that she is having lots of enjoyable whilst discovering. She tells me all about the things she does and makes each day on the way home, and is excited when they have a trip out in the local area to see what they have been discovering about. She loves sharing her home diaries with her friends at circle time. This has really helped boost her self‑assurance and I am cheerful that she will be ready to start school in September as a confident and, independent kid. The team are so welcoming and supportive, and consistently spare time to talk. My daughter loves attending Flippers and has done so since she was 12months old.
