September 5, 2024 at 11:16 pmThe facilities and offsite activities are an added bonus and provide the kids with days filled with enjoyable and discovering. My kids thrive at Jabberwocky Childrens Childcare centre, thanks to the fantastic team and remarkable management and their genuine enthusiasm and care for the kids they look after.

September 7, 2024 at 10:23 pmI cannot suggest Jabberwocky enough. My daughter has been going since she was 8-months in the middle of a global pandemic, and they’ve been incredible. She absolutely loves her time there. Outstanding 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 kids at their childcare centre. Thank you for everything you do! Jabberwocky is a place of adore, kindness, enjoyable, joy and discovering.

September 21, 2024 at 5:34 amThe team and management were expert, attentive, flexible and understanding. The kids got involved in a range of activities and especially loved forest school. We would highly suggest Jabberwocky to anyone. Our two kids attended Jabberwocky Childrens Childcare centre Ltd and had a fantastic journey.

October 18, 2024 at 12:50 pmThe care shown to the kids from every member there is exemplary. All team know the kids, regardless of their room and place; they take the time to get to know the individuals in their care. The rooms are packed with lovely resources to encourage growth, development, curiosity and playtime. They do so much outdoors, as well as being inside. The kids have awe and wonder for their setting 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 team to do for you to ensure your kid is cheerful. 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 kid is excited about coming in each time she arrives. This setting is the most incredible place I have ever come across.

October 24, 2024 at 3:12 amThe team are consistently 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 suggest the childcare centre. My grandson loves attending his sessions at the childcare centre.

October 24, 2024 at 5:22 amWe are so lucky to have found Jabberwocky’s so close to home; it truly wasn’t a hard choice.
Pretty much every day our kid 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 kid 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 childcare centre. It truly is a excellent partnership, and we have one highly cheerful settled kid. Highly suggest this fantastic nursey. Finding a childcare centre for your little ones to attend is a big step – the childcare centre team are going to be attentive, educating and influencing your kid.

October 28, 2024 at 4:55 amWe couldn’t have better care for our little ones and they absolutely adore going. Highly expert and great at communicating.
The facilities are fantastic and the range of activities and the thought that goes into them is remarkable. This childcare centre is quite the treasure.

October 31, 2024 at 7:41 pmAll 3 of my kids have used the childcare centre. My 2 year old is still going full time.
I can’t fault the team for consistently helping and understanding.
Will be sending my 2 year old there until she starts school. I have used Jabberwocky Childrens Childcare centre for over 3 years now.

December 9, 2024 at 2:32 amWe cannot fault the childcare centre; the team are so inviting and attentive, it’s enjoyable and every day she has varied activities, delicious home-cooked food, detailed reports daily home with pictures and the atmosphere was welcoming and so personal. Throughout the pandemic, they have kept parents fully informed and been highly vigilant to the point so we felt team and kids were secure.
We are so sorry to be saying goodbye to such an incredible place which has definitely contributed to our kid’s happiness and sociability. Our daughter attended Jabberwocky from 12 months to recently.

January 1, 2025 at 6:56 amThe team went above and beyond to help me sense comfortable leaving my youngest kid and ensured that we had plenty of settling in sessions to help with the settling in process. Team are approachable, positive and consistently willing to listen and help with any concerns I may have. Overall, highly cheerful with my journey with the childcare centre and will definitely suggest it to family and friends. Lovely childcare centre.

January 19, 2025 at 6:12 amMy 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. What a excellent childcare centre Jabberwocky is.
Arden Lawson
February 2, 2025 at 4:12 amMy daughter is exceptionally cheerful 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 excellent, and my daughter loves being outside, so this has been a huge positive.
The kids are also highly hands-on, exploring everything, which encourages their curiosity. I like that they do a lot of cooking with the kids, so they get involved with food prep – and the washing up afterwards!
My daughter has made great friends there and talks positively about the team. They can also handle my exuberant daughter brilliantly to channel her energy but encourage her too, which is so important. Jabberwocky is fabulous.

February 8, 2025 at 3:26 amThe team were fantastic and so supportive of our kid. I would highly suggest Jabberwocky to anyone. My kid has been at Jabberwocky only a short time, but in that time has developed so much in her speech, movement and general understanding.

February 16, 2025 at 7:26 pmI pick my grandchild up on a regular basis from Jabberwocky Childcare centre.
He consistently comes out absolutely full of beans, telling me about what he has done that day.
The team are consistently so highly compassionate and supportive 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, consistently 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 suggest Jabberwocky to anyone looking for a childcare centre for their kid; it is truly remarkable.
Phoenix Sharpe
February 17, 2025 at 5:48 amTheir personality has truly started to shine through.
They are consistently so cheerful to attend childcare centre which was something I was concerned about from previous childcare centre experiences.
Forest school is definitely a firm favourite of theirs and they adore to tell us all about it when they come home. They thoroughly delight in the mud kitchen at forest school and looking for bugs with the magnifying glass. I can’t thank the team enough they are all so welcoming and welcoming and I would 100% suggest Jabberwocky to anyone looking for a placement for their kid. Since my little one has been attending Jabberwocky I have noticed a substantial change in them.
Toby Hayden
March 13, 2025 at 10:08 pmTeam are consistently welcoming and supportive.
Would definitely suggest the playgroup to anyone that was looking for kid care. The playgroup is incredible.
Quinn Grant
May 23, 2025 at 2:56 pmThe commitment and dedication from the team for not only our kid but for us as a family, we truly have fallen at our feet with the childcare centre. The activities they provide everyday is outstanding, my kid comes home with such a huge smile and we couldn’t ask for anything more. Jabberwocky has become the heart to our family, the way our kid has been able to transition in the most delicate way and to be cared and nurtured for like no other.

May 25, 2025 at 3:59 pmThe baby room team are highly welcoming and attentive with my young kid.
Seeing the smile on her face when they are playing with her makes it a lot easier for me to return back to work. My daughter loves coming to Jabberwocky.

June 13, 2025 at 11:56 amThe 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, journey 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 childcare centre I’ve come across to do both sides so well. The team are unbelievable, compassionate, energetic, innovative and super dedicated. I would suggest Jabberwocky to anyone and everyone. We sense highly, highly lucky to be able to have both our kids journey this fantastic place. We’ve experienced several nurseries, and we now commute 40-minutes each way so our kids can journey the best provision we’ve ever come across.

June 16, 2025 at 11:11 pmMy daughter settled brilliantly and the team made us sense highly welcome. Jabberwocky Childrens Childcare centre offers lots for the kids to journey while in their care, boogie beat, forest school, they took the kids in the minibus to an animal farm the other week, we adore it. We joined in January this year and the settling-in process was flawless.
