September 2, 2024 at 11:01 pmThe team are very attentive and patient.
High turnover of team. The kids don’t tend to do much educationally.
The team are very welcoming and accommodating and understanding to the kids’s needs Great to have childcare centre that is open for 51 weeks of the year.

October 7, 2024 at 8:40 pmThey have attended since they were two years old and will be going onto primary school in September. They have close relationships with the team and both are developing social and discovering skills. The team provide a wide variety of creative as well as playtime-based activities. I warmly suggest Gingerbread House to any parent or grandparent looking for a secure nurturing setting for their little ones. My grandsons are now in pre-school and adore their days at the childcare centre.

October 18, 2024 at 10:01 pmMy daughter consistently loved attending and consistently came home with a massive smile on her face. I adore that the handover and observations were sent to me on a daily basis and was able to see pictures of my little girl having enjoyable. The activities provided were also incredible with lots of messy playtime and discovering. Gingerbread House is a lovely childcare centre, with very attentive and trustworthy team.

October 28, 2024 at 9:37 amThe team in both the baby and toddler rooms have been excellent for my son and us.
It’s such a daunting journey and emotional at times but they continue to assistance us with regular updates, daily handovers and you can really tell they care about your kid and also us as the parents.
My son still struggles with drop-offs after nearly six months and the team still welcome him with a smile and helps calm my nerves daily.
Thank you, Gingerbread House Day Nursery. Couldn’t ask for a more engaged and supportive childcare centre.

November 18, 2024 at 8:19 pmThe team are so inviting and welcoming and both kids have settled in no time at all. Things like potty training are dealt with minimal fuss and there is a very relaxed atmosphere which has put us totally at ease. There are clear boundaries but the kids adore the team and it seems like the feeling is mutual! Both my son and daughter have gone to the Gingerbread House and we are so cheerful with the experiences we’ve had.

December 30, 2024 at 11:35 pmAll the educators and childcare centre practitioners are lovely and compassionate and ensure that she’s well looked after when we are at work. Now that she’s four and almost ready to start reception, Gingerbread offers a range of activities to prepare her for her transition to primary school and make sure she feels confident when starting reception in a few months. I’m actually going to be really sad when her time at Gingerbread comes to an end!
My youngest started also in Gingerbread end of last year and she was a bit shy compared to her sister. The team really went out of their way to ensure she settled well and now she consistently goes in smiling. Still to this day, I’m amazed they get her to nap for two hours!
So yes, I suggest this childcare centre to other parents if you want a place where your kids can be cheerful, playtime, be creative and meet other lovely kids. My eldest daughter started in Gingerbread House Day Nursery when she was only nine months and she has loved her time there.

January 18, 2025 at 1:44 amShe settled really quickly and now loves going to childcare centre. The management and team are very great and welcoming and they take care of my little one. They do a lot of different activities every day and they provide a detailed handover and pictures so it is easy for me to see what she has been doing and eating. My daughter has attended the childcare centre since November 2020.

January 23, 2025 at 11:55 pmThe team is very communicative, so I am regularly informed of the kid’s development, which is very important to me.
Overall, excellent team, excellent establishment. The lady in charge is very inviting, shows vast knowledge in her role, and this transcends to the team.

January 30, 2025 at 12:56 pmThe team have got to know our daughter so well like she is part of the family. Our daughter settled in very easily and has recently moved into the toddler room, where she also transitioned really easily with the team sharing all their knowledge of our daughter to the new room. I couldn’t ask for a better place or people to look after our daughter. The manager is such a delight to communicate with and clearly has a strong passion for providing all the kids with the best journey at the childcare centre. Ever since our daughter has joined the childcare centre, she feels like she is at her 2nd home.

February 14, 2025 at 2:29 pmShe settled in really quickly and soon came to adore the childcare centre and her carers. She has a excellent bond with them. They have helped her with her speech, toilet training and discovering to write her name. I know she will consistently have a enjoyable day at childcare centre and will be well looked after. My daughter started at Gingerbread House last year.

February 22, 2025 at 4:50 amThe curiosity, kid-led and ‘learn through playtime’ approach is just what she needs. Her key worker is remarkable, attentive and supportive. There’s consistently a homely sense inside the childcare centre and our daughter is just so cheerful there. Since our daughter began at Gingerbread House Day Nursery, she has absolutely flourished.

March 3, 2025 at 3:51 amNow that she has settled, she is very cheerful at Gingerbread House and loves going. She also enjoys the food there and has great varied meals and snacks. Very pleased with the care that my daughter receives.

March 13, 2025 at 7:50 amOur son has settled in well and has built excellent relationships with the team. I have recommended Gingerbread House Day Nursery to a number of other parents because we are so cheerful with everything. It’s consistently a pleasure speaking to and dealing with the team, both in the office and in the toddler room.
Drew Hobbs
March 30, 2025 at 9:57 amHe talks very positively about the team and his new friends so I am confident that he is cheerful and very well looked after. I also adore seeing the comments and photos on the app to see what he has been doing each day and what he has eaten. The team consistently seem very attentive and loving which is one of the things that attracted me to the childcare centre when I first came for a visit at collection time – seeing how positively the team interacted with the kids and the parents. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre to others. My son started in Pre-School in October and has settled in really quickly.

April 12, 2025 at 7:16 amHe suffers from separation anxiety so drop-offs are never easy. However difficult it is, the team never fails to reassure him making him sense secure and welcome. They are also excellent at giving handovers and often give tips and suggestions on how to assistance my kid’s discovering. I read lots of parents receive daily updates through the App. I don’t, and I wish there were more pictures to document how his day is going (I typically receive two updates/month). All in all, this is a great childcare centre and I would definitely suggest it to others. My son has attended the childcare centre since May 2021.
Blake Frost
April 24, 2025 at 7:19 pmIt is a very welcoming and secure setting for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers with lots of stimulating toys, a nice outdoor space and welcoming team. She has been very cheerful there and is well looked after. The team write thorough observations which are shared on an easy to use app and they do great handovers each day. You can tell they genuinely care for the kids and our daughter consistently comes home saying she has had a excellent day. I would definitely suggest it. Our daughter has attended the Gingerbread House Nursery for almost three years.

May 29, 2025 at 10:13 pmWe were initially nervous sending her so young, but she’s settled really quickly and has been enjoying her time at the childcare centre. The team are lovely and attentive and it’s excellent seeing her smile on the way in the morning. I appreciate the updates on her development and pictures from activities too. Our daughter has been attending Gingerbread House Day Nursery for close to 6 months now.
Billie Grant
May 31, 2025 at 8:02 amMy daughter’s development and social skills are excellent and you would never be able to tell she’s a covid baby! I’m so grateful for all the team and management together with the high standards! Excellent childcare centre, incredible team, both of my kids are cheerful, the activities in the pre school year are gearing towards my son starting primary school.
Micah Rowe
June 20, 2025 at 10:24 amHowever the team were very reassuring, sensitive and welcoming and our son has flourished developmentally since being there, having had a chunk of his first few months being at home during Covid lockdown. He adores his key worker, who we can tell also cares for our son – as do all the rest of the team who are in regular contact with him throughout the day. We absolutely know he is in secure hands. The few times we have contacted the childcare centre to raise any concerns (e.g. sleep times) the team have responded immediately and responded to any requests swiftly. The team here really do care – and we would thoroughly suggest this childcare centre to any parent for their kid. Our son joined Gingerbread at 9 months old, which we were very nervous about, with him being so young.

June 30, 2025 at 8:53 amThere are team shortages, building issues and terrible financial management. I booked places for my two kids while still pregnant with my second, giving 18 months notice to the start date. 5 weeks after they started the childcare centre realised they had no capacity and relied too much on agency team so they cancelled one place and offered me completely different days from what I booked for my baby. My daughter was not cheerful there which I suspect is because they were not coping well with team turnover. Twice they gave my kids food they were allergic to by accident. My son fell over twice on his last day and no accident report was ever filled in.
Their ending the contract refund calculations are completely wrong and have no idea how to manage customer accounts properly. The building had several structural issues too, lovely but probably not maintained quite as it needs. I’m sure it used to be great but at the moment they are not doing excellent. An awful childcare centre that is currently struggling.
