    I visited a number of nurseries in the surrounding areas before seeing Hedgehogs and when I did I knew instantly it was the perfect setting for my toddler. It is spacious, has experienced carers, exceptional management vision, an incredible variety of activities and outstanding food variations for all meals. We are consistently kept informed as parents and the use of Tapestry is excellent as we can see what our little one gets up to each day. He is consistently cheerful when we pick him up and it is clear that he has been well cared for by people with a genuine interest in the kids’s development and well-being. We are so cheerful with Hedgehogs.

    His face lights up, he grabs his bag and off he goes! This gives me self‑assurance that the team are looking after him well and keep him entertained.
    I particularly adore watching videos or seeing the pictures of what they get up to. It gives us parents reassurance that the childcare centre is committed to providing great care and a stimulating setting to my son. He comes home tired but consistently with new skills and when I unpack his bags, the muddy clothes indicate that he’s had lots of enjoyable outside – we chose Hedgehogs because of the outside space which is plentiful.
    Well done to all the girls working there and thank you for your commitment to providing a balanced educational and playtime opportunities to our kids. My 20-month-old son is very cheerful at Hedgehogs – it is evident because he doesn’t even turn around to wave goodbye at drop-offs anymore.

    Our 20 month old son thoroughly enjoys his days here, and consistently runs in with a smile on his face. This is testament to the hard work and genuine care that all of the team show towards him, and it is clear to see from the pictures and videos that our son is cheerful when in their care. There is consistently such a broad and varied range of activities available for the kids to participate in, and we like the fact that the team plan activities based on the kids’s interests. The kids really benefit from the incredible grounds and outdoor space of St John’s on the Hill school. Highly suggest! We could not be happier with the provision, care and facilities at Hedgehog’s Childcare centre.

    They will go above and beyond to make the kids sense comfortable and to enable them to thrive in the stimulating setting they provide. All team are incredibly attentive and know the kids in their care inside out.

    He started at Hedgehogs when he was around 9-months-old. I can’t praise the childcare centre enough, particularly recently having managed the Coronovirus situation. Management has communicated fantastically and been very supportive of parents. During the period where kids weren’t able to attend childcare centre, they kept in touch with us via the app to ensure we still had a connection to the childcare centre. Team uploaded messages, videos and resources.
    After three months off, I thought my son would find it difficult to return, but our journey was quite the opposite; he couldn’t wait to get back and now strolls in each morning he attends, very eager to see his friends and the team. He is consistently cheerful, and we know he is so well looked after. I cannot praise the team and set up enough.
    The app is exceptional. I can see how my son is getting on through the day; how he has eaten and slept and the activities he’s been doing. It means I can work knowing he is cheerful. Our son is now 20-months-old.

    The team are very expert and know our daughter well. It’s small enough to be personal but has the benefit of using the facilities of the school.
    Lots of effort is made for extra activities, such as a Christmas production etc. I would highly suggest. We are very cheerful with the care and development our daughter receives at Hedgehogs.

    My daughter is 20 months and has been attending since she was 13 months old. She absolutely loves her time at childcare centre and is so excited when I drop her off each morning. The team are so welcoming and attentive, I know she is well taken care of. The parents’ app they use is exceptional for providing updates throughout the day and gives me peace of mind that everything is OK. The team organise lots of varied and interesting activities for the kids and they spend a lot of time outdoors, as the grounds are outstanding. The management team are also exceptional and are very accommodating if I need to add extra days. The care provided at Hedgehogs really is remarkable and I can’t rate them highly enough. Hedgehogs is such a fantastic childcare centre.

    Such a fantastic childcare centre, I’m sure my little will miss them all when she goes off to school. My daughter has gone up through the childcare centre from the baby room to preschool and she absolutely loves her time here, the team from the people in her room all the way up to management are consistently very polite and are extremely approachable if I have questions to ask.

    They both absolutely adore their time at Hedgehogs. The range of activities is so broad from soft playtime, reading to outdoor playtime and everything in between, keeping my energetic kids entertained from start to finish.
    The team are so engaging and welcoming and have formed remarkable relationships with both my kids.
    I would not hesitate to fully suggest Hedgehogs to anyone looking for a childcare centre for their kid. My eldest has been attending since he was 11 months old and my youngest has just started.

    They listen to me and if I have concerns regarding my daughter they reassure me and don’t make me sense silly.
    I find leaving my little girl there totally at ease.
    One of the best decisions I made was choosing Hedgehog and it’s on my doorstep, even better. Exceptional childcare centre.

    New manager has put in policies meaning parents have a say in how kids are discovering and the setting they are discovering in. Facilities are outstanding with a stellar outside area. Outstanding childcare centre, stellar interaction from team with parents.

    The team are welcoming and compassionate and organise lots of enjoyable and educational activities for the kids. The childcare centre handled my daughter’s allergies really well and the girls enjoyed the food. We are very sad to be leaving (due to moving) and would highly suggest the childcare centre to anyone. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us. My two daughters attended the childcare centre until July 2023 and we had a fantastic journey as a family.

    She is very well cared for and really enjoys the wide range of activities, including French and dancing. The team work well with parents and most recently supported us on potty training. My daughter has a specific diet which has also been met in full, yet maintain a diverse selection. My daughter has attended Hedgehogs Childcare centre for 18 months.

    He’s been at the childcare centre since he was one and I’m consistently left impressed by how inviting the team are and how above and beyond the girls go for the kids. My son really struggled to settle after lockdown but the girls were so calm, patient and loving with him. He absolutely adores the team who work in his room, they set up the most fantastic activities for the kids which are consistently very engaging. It is clear by the videos they send that the team are very thoughtful in their interactions with the kids, I adore the way they question the kids to foster that curiosity in their playtime. Thanks for everything you do for the kids. My son is so well cared for at Hedgehogs.

    Without them remaining open my wife and I would not have been able to keep working full time as Emergency workers. Well done and Thank you so much for staying open throughout the pandemic. Incredible team.

    My eldest son is now in primary school and absolutely thrived whilst at childcare centre, particularly within the pre-school room where he was exceptionally well prepared for the transition to school by the pre-school team. The extracurricular activities on offer are remarkable – yoga, music, French to name a few. We received exceptional assistance and can’t thank them enough.
    My youngest son (age 2) has attended since he was 7 months old and loves childcare centre! He’s formed some lovely bonds with his carers. The setting is lovely; inviting and welcoming with tons of outdoor space for outside playtime which is very important for us as parents. Team and management are supportive and communicative and, in particular, have handled the current COVID crisis impeccably. My little one is secure, stimulated, cared for and cheerful and I’ve no hesitation in recommending the childcare centre. Both of my little boys have attended Hedgehogs Childcare centre.

    They have made me and my boys sense so welcomed under the current circumstances and really put my mind at ease. The boys are so cheerful in the childcare centre.
    I am updated on a daily basis with pictures and videos which is lovely to see what they are getting up to. My boys joined the childcare centre when their current one shut due to Covid-19.

    I’m very cheerful with the new(ish) manager and sense the childcare centre is a much happier and more nurturing place now. The facilities have consistently been exceptional because it shares the grounds with the school (so masses of outside space, sports hall and swimming for older kids).
    The way they have dealt with Covid has been particularly impressive. The emotional impact on kids and their families has been properly considered and the team have gone to incredible lengths to ensure kids are as secure as they can be while still enjoying playing and discovering with their buddies. Updates has been great too, no small feat considering the confusion with rules, etc. My son has been in Hedgehogs for over two years now and although it hasn’t consistently been perfect I really sense it’s doing brilliantly at the moment.

    This has been particularly noted during the Covid-19 pandemic as there have been a constant stream of changes to protect all involved. My little one has been attending for the majority as I am a keyworker, but he has taken all the changes in his stride, due to the assistance of the team and updates to all parents and kids, throughout. He is thriving and changing constantly, and that’s down to the team supporting appropriately during these times. He loves being back with his friends too! Thanks Hedgehogs for all your help and continued assistance of both our little one and us as parents, and for your excellent information sharing throughout and continuing. My little one has been attending Hedgehogs for some time now, with excellent success, there have been some bumps in the road, but all dealt with with professionalism and assistance, to ultimately build my little one into the confident little man he is today.

    My son started at 20 months (only 2 mornings a week) and settled so quickly, which is all thanks to the team. They are absolutely incredible, even during the current pandemic they have done everything to keep kids and parents secure and cheerful. So many activities to participate in and outdoor spaces for him to explore. I have noticed so much change in my son in the 4 months he’s been attending. The main ones being his speech and self‑assurance. I cannot praise everyone enough. They truly are incredible. Absolutely remarkable childcare centre.
