    Our daughter attended Jabberwocky from 12 months to recently. We cannot fault the nursery; the staff are so warm and caring, it’s fun and every day she has varied activities, delicious home-cooked food, detailed reports daily home with pictures and the atmosphere was friendly and so personal. Throughout the pandemic, they have kept parents fully informed and been very vigilant to the point so we felt staff and kids were safe.
    We are so sorry to be saying goodbye to such an incredible place which has definitely contributed to our child’s happiness and sociability.

    Our two children attended Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery Ltd and had a wonderful experience. The staff and management were professional, caring, flexible and understanding. The children got involved in a range of activities and especially loved forest school. We would highly recommend Jabberwocky to anyone.

    My child has been at Jabberwocky only a short time, but in that time has developed so much in her speech, movement and general understanding. The staff were wonderful and so supportive of our child. I would highly recommend Jabberwocky to anyone.

    Lovely nursery. The staff went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable leaving my youngest child and ensured that we had plenty of settling in sessions to help with the settling in process. Staff are approachable, positive and always willing to listen and help with any concerns I may have. Overall, very happy with my experience with the nursery and will definitely recommend it to family and friends.

    Jabberwocky is a place of love, kindness, fun, joy and learning. I cannot recommend Jabberwocky enough. My daughter has been going since she was 8-months in the middle of a global pandemic, and they’ve been amazing. She absolutely loves her time there. Excellent food and what seems like unlimited daily activities. The importance of being outside and experiencing nature is at the heart of what they do. She has become so social and developed tremendously. The team give me an update each day she is collected and truly care for the children at their nursery. Thank you for everything you do!

    We’ve experienced several nurseries, and we now commute 40-minutes each way so our children can experience the best provision we’ve ever come across. The balance between the nature-led, holistic forest school approach, with thoughtful and regular excursions (for example to buy Christmas trees, choose sandwich-making bread from local bakeries, experience touring art shows, or garden centres to buy new plants), with disco’s, visiting football coaches, visiting scientists, animals and weekly cooking classes is truly the best of both worlds and the only nursery I’ve come across to do both sides so well. The staff are unbelievable, kind, energetic, innovative and super dedicated. I would recommend Jabberwocky to anyone and everyone. We feel very, very lucky to be able to have both our children experience this wonderful place.

    Finding a nursery for your little ones to attend is a big step – the nursery team are going to be caring, educating and influencing your child. We are so lucky to have found Jabberwocky’s so close to home; it really wasn’t a hard choice.
    Pretty much every day our child is there, they get to go to Forest School, creating bird feeder, looking for bugs and generally everting nature has to offer. Even on cold days, they are yurts so settle in for a story and a snack. They are enjoying singing and dancing, little trips out, along with starting to get them school ready.
    I’ll be honest, our child struggled to settle to start with, but together with Jabberwocky’s, we instigated little ways to help. Being responsible for taking small toys and books home and returning them at the next session to creating a folder with all of the nursey team member so we could talk at home about nursery. It really is a great partnership, and we have one very happy settled child. Highly recommend this wonderful nursey.

    I pick my grandchild up on a regular basis from Jabberwocky Nursery.
    He always comes out absolutely full of beans, telling me about what he has done that day.
    The staff are always so very kind and helpful and fill me in on what he has eaten throughout the day and any other information around him.
    The opportunities that Jabberwocky provide are incredible, and you most definitely get your money’s worth and more due to all of the experiences they provide.
    My particular favourite thing is the forest school, as I, myself, am an outdoor person, always going on walks and enjoying the outdoors at every opportunity; my grandson definitely does too and gets so excited on the days he goes up to forest school.
    I would highly recommend Jabberwocky to anyone looking for a nursery for their child; it is truly fantastic.

    This setting is the most incredible place I have ever come across. The care shown to the children from every member there is exemplary. All staff know the children, regardless of their room and place; they take the time to get to know the individuals in their care. The rooms are packed with beautiful resources to encourage growth, development, curiosity and play. They do so much outdoors, as well as being inside. The children have awe and wonder for their environment supported by regular forest school visits and the lovely outdoor area, as well as music and movement and exciting trips out to farms and visitors- recently exotic animals! There is nothing that is too much for the staff to do for you to ensure your child is happy. They take the time to feedback the day, report regularly on their development and share with you via conversations, their journal and the app. I couldn’t be happier here as a parent and my child is excited about coming in each time she arrives.

    What a great nursery Jabberwocky is.
    My daughter loves going.
    They do soo much with them, from forest school and everything they have there, to cooking, baking, painting and going to the shops and markets.

    My daughter loves coming to Jabberwocky. The baby room staff are very friendly and caring with my young child.
    Seeing the smile on her face when they are playing with her makes it a lot easier for me to return back to work.

    Jabberwocky is fabulous. My daughter is extremely happy there and comes out smiling every day. We moved to the area recently, and the big difference is the use of outside space and outside activities. The availability of the forest school is great, and my daughter loves being outside, so this has been a huge positive.
    The children are also very hands-on, exploring everything, which encourages their curiosity. I like that they do a lot of cooking with the children, so they get involved with food prep – and the washing up afterwards!
    My daughter has made good friends there and talks positively about the staff. They can also handle my exuberant daughter brilliantly to channel her energy but encourage her too, which is so important.

    This nursery is quite the treasure. We couldn’t have better care for our little ones and they absolutely love going. Very professional and good at communicating.
    The facilities are wonderful and the range of activities and the thought that goes into them is fantastic.

    My grandson loves attending his sessions at the nursery. The staff are always welcoming when dropping him off and updates us on things he’s done when he’s picked up. He loves attending forest school as he’s definitely an outdoor boy! Definitely would recommend the nursery.

    Since my little one has been attending Jabberwocky I have noticed a substantial change in them. Their personality has really started to shine through.
    They are always so happy to attend nursery which was something I was concerned about from previous nursery experiences.
    Forest school is definitely a firm favourite of theirs and they love to tell us all about it when they come home. They thoroughly enjoy the mud kitchen at forest school and looking for bugs with the magnifying glass. I can’t thank the staff enough they are all so friendly and welcoming and I would 100% recommend Jabberwocky to anyone looking for a placement for their child.

    Jabberwocky has become the heart to our family, the way our child has been able to transition in the most delicate way and to be cared and nurtured for like no other. The commitment and dedication from the staff for not only our child but for us as a family, we truly have fallen at our feet with the nursery. The activities they provide everyday is outstanding, my child comes home with such a huge smile and we couldn’t ask for anything more.

    We joined in January this year and the settling-in process was flawless. My daughter settled brilliantly and the staff made us feel very welcome. Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery offers lots for the children to experience while in their care, boogie beat, forest school, they took the children in the minibus to an animal farm the other week, we love it.

    My children thrive at Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery, thanks to the wonderful staff and fantastic management and their genuine enthusiasm and care for the children they look after. The facilities and offsite activities are an added bonus and provide the children with days filled with fun and learning.

    I have used Jabberwocky Childrens Nursery for over 3 years now. All 3 of my kids have used the nursery. My 2 year old is still going full time.
    I can’t fault the staff for always helping and understanding.
    Will be sending my 2 year old there until she starts school.
