March 2, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son started last year; he transferred from a previous nursery to Gingerbread. Gingerbread is an outstanding nursery; I have nothing but praise and happy comments. My son was anxious because it was a new nursery. However, he did not want to leave when I returned to pick him up. He loves it there and always has a smile on his face when I drop him off and pick him up.
Thank you, Gingerbread for your great staff and nursery.

March 2, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Gingerbread since he was 1-years-old. The staff have helped raise my son into the lovely, smart and happy young man he is today. Thank Gingerbread for all of the support I received over the past 10-years.
Gingerbread has always been a charity I have trusted; because I attend Gingerbread as a child 30-years ago. When I had my son and wanted to return to work; I knew in heart, he had to attend Gingerbread.
Well done Gingerbread Corner.

March 2, 2020 at 12:00 amThe most amazing nursery I have ever seen.
They offer so much and more.
My daughter loved it here; never cried once when I left.
Absolutely adored the staff members; everyone was extremely kind and loved my daughter as much as she did them.
I was always informed of my daughters days (what she ate, drank, nappy changes and activities are done).
The only reason I left; was due to career move.

March 3, 2020 at 12:00 amThe nursery is very clean and you can see how well they are organized. I love the atmosphere in which my daughter is growing fast and learning things every day. And I can also see through videos and photos and a day sheet summary. The staffs are so professional and friendly. I have nothing negative to say. I am happy that my daughter is going to this lovely and peaceful place.

March 3, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter attends this nursery and it’s absolutely outstanding in so many aspects. My daughter is happy and well looked after. The facilities, environment and care are superb. The staff are considerate, professional and demonstrate real wellbeing qualities. Their support, communication and empathy are above and beyond. My daughter has excelled in her academic progress and they continue to push her in that area by helping her develop. My daughter goes to school this year and one aspect of what contributed to my decision making was choosing schools where my daughter can still attend the nursery through their breakfast and after school club. I would highly recommend sending your child here and if you don’t get acceptance straight away you can be added to their waiting list which is free of charge to be on. The staff at Gingerbread Corner are lovely and as a parent, I’m happy, content and secure. In my culture we say it takes a village to bring up a child and they’re included in our village.

March 3, 2020 at 12:00 amMy children are thriving with the Early Years team! Happy to skip in and growing in confidence which is aiding their development. All staff are nurturing (from reception, classrooms and management) and parents are kept up to date with all developments.

March 3, 2020 at 12:00 amInitially, I used to take my elder children to a playgroup in Gingerbread Corner (8 yrs ago). And now my 3 yr old is going to the preschool group. The best thing about the nursery although being very old but its always very neat and clean especially the toilets, unlike many others, which are much newer than this one. The staff are really very well trained. They have so many aspects including the sensory room for the very little ones and the romp room, soft play room etc all are amazing and very interactive. Can’t recommend it enough.

March 3, 2020 at 12:00 amBoth my boys love going to Gingerbread Corner and have made connections with both children and staff. My youngest has learnt how to walk and eat by himself and my oldest has grown in confidence. I attended when I was small and I am happy that it is still going (even if the old building was better).

April 27, 2021 at 12:00 amOur five year old son attended the holiday club for the first time. He has never attended any holiday club so we were a bit apprehensive. We and he were warmly welcomed every day and a nice touch was that they welcomed him by his name the first day. He really enjoyed himself and came home happy and full of what he had done each day. The staff were very friendly and helpful. He is already asking when can he go again!

November 26, 2021 at 12:00 amThe front desk staff is great but that’s it. When my son started his settle-in session red flags started to show up. They weren’t bothered that he was not feeling well and had diarrhea before I came. Other than one member of the staff in the baby room, nobody made an effort to socialise with my baby or myself while I was there. It seems like the majority of the time I was there, all they did was try to calm the babies down, a lot of holding and hugging them but that’s it. No try to distract them with play or anything like that. There are no scheduled activities they do during the day, pretty much it seems like their main goal is to just keep them alive. They walk with the same shoes from outside inside where babies crawl and the toys don’t seem very clean. Windows and doors were all open at the same time. The last straw was when I was told he did not cry even though I was outside and I could hear him. I expected it to happen but the lie is unacceptable. I had no trust in them and pulled him out.

December 2, 2021 at 12:00 amMy one-year-old goes to Gingerbread Corner and now she is completely settled. I don’t have any fear or worry about her while she is at daycare as the caretakers are so good and take care of everything. My child became so active, started saying new words and she happily goes to daycare and comes home happy. I can do work without any stress. The management staff all are very responsible, kind and take care of everything. I recommend this nursery for every parent.

December 6, 2021 at 12:00 amMy granddaughter has been attending the Gingerbread Corner since the age of just a few months to the present day, she is 10 years old. She is always eager to go which tells me she enjoys it. Well done Gingerbread for keeping not only my granddaughter but no doubt lots of other children happy and occupied.

March 21, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending the nursery since he was nine months old and we have been impressed by the care and attention that he’s received during the last two and a half years.
Carers look after his needs, always try to find ways to make him happy whilst teaching him new skills. My son especially loves ‘digging’ in the garden, something he wouldn’t be able to do at other nurseries.
The smiles and good manners don’t stop there as everyone at Gingerbread (e.g. reception, admin team) are always very helpful and friendly. We’re glad that we listened to a friend who recommended us this nursery.

March 21, 2022 at 12:00 amGingerbread Corner, Croydon have amazing staff who encourage, support and motivates children. They have encouraged and supported my child who has been attending the after school and holiday club for the last three years.
It has so many activities for children and my child has not only gained confidence but also learned new skills each day.

March 22, 2022 at 12:00 amI am absolutely recommending this childcare setting. The staff are competent, highly qualified and they always had the same staff right from day one of my child starting here, this has allowed for him to create strong relationships with his teachers. He is always very happy to go to nursery and when it has happened that he was unwell and could not attend he would feel sad and looked forward to going. The children here are always very happy and welcoming to new children, they are always well engaged in meaningful activities, they are learning to have responsibility through tasks such as helping out in the tidying up, assisting lunchtime, oral hygiene, other countries culture and other important life experiences. I am never worried one day for the safety of my son when he is at this nursery, children are always attended to at all times. I could not choose a better childcare place for my son and I strongly recommend this provider.

March 22, 2022 at 12:00 amGingerbread has been an excellent provision since my children began in 2021. The staff are both professional and warm and my children look forward to attending each day. My daughter enjoys the nursery and has been very well cared for by the staff. Since my son started reception he has continued attending the after school and holiday club, which has been such a help to us. They ensure that he is given a snack and is free to enjoy their many different rooms including an IT room, arts and crafts, a romp room (soft play apparatus) a general play hall and a lovely adventure garden with a trampoline!
Highly recommended nursery, after school and holiday club.
Thank you Gingerbread staff for always doing your best for our children.

July 7, 2022 at 12:00 amHaving an ex-prem toddler with needs it was paramount that I found the right setting for her and by sending her to Gingerbread Corner they have made me rest assured that my decision was in fact the right one. It’s such a loving environment and the staff are impeccable, not only in their professionalism but also in their care, attentiveness and support. I could not have found a better place to send my daughter.

July 10, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son currently attends Gingerbread Corner for after school and holiday child care, he has been attending for the past 5/6 years and is very happy with the service and care they provide. My son is very happy here which makes me feel confident for my son to attend.

August 18, 2023 at 12:00 amGingerbread Corner is a good childcare provider. My daughter is always excited to go there as she does go during the holidays. My daughter said she is been engaged with different activities to keep her busy.
