September 20, 2024 at 5:31 amI’m kept fully up to date with everything my little one does, and my mind is at ease when she’s at childcare centre! My daughter is becoming so much more confident since starting childcare centre and loves going! Everyone at Safari has been supportive and understanding!

October 13, 2024 at 4:11 pmMy son consistently enjoys his days at Safari Childcare, lovely team. My son been at this childcare centre for nearly 2-years, and I don’t have a bad word to say. He consistently comes home telling me about his day and friends and consistently leaves cheerful. Lovely childcare centre.

They are so flexible too and really understanding. They have outside time which my son really enjoys. I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone looking for a childcare centre for their kid. They also have cameras for uneasy parents to log into to see how their little one is doing which is really reassuring. My son attends Safari Childcare, all the team are lovely and have really helped him to settle.

November 14, 2024 at 3:37 amI will be forever grateful for the assistance that they provide not only to him but to myself as well!
My little girl has had a few settling-in sessions ready to start and they have made both of us sense so at ease for this new chapter were both about to embark on! She already seems super comfortable there!
Really puts my mind at ease ?? My son joined Safari Childcare in September, right from the off the team have all been incredible, I had some worries concerning my son and they listened and took everything on board, they went above and beyond to help us, since being at safari he has flourished, his language has come on tenfold and it is so lovely to see!
He loves going there and has a exceptional relationship with his key person.
I couldn’t ask for a better childcare centre for him to begin his educational journey!

November 21, 2024 at 12:04 amOur daughter has been attending since the start of January 2022, and she loves it.
The general atmosphere is calm and inviting; the team are committed and welcoming, and the opportunities available to the kids is exceptional.
They have a massive garden in which the kids can playtime in and plenty of equipment and activities inside and out to help develop and educate.
Our daughter has allergy’s to certain foods, and Safari is committed to providing alternatives and utilising a really great medical system should she have a reaction.
I would definitely suggest. Really lovely childcare centre.

November 25, 2024 at 6:39 amThe kids are consistently kept busy with enjoyable activities, and she especially loves playing in the garden with the new apparatus and in the mud kitchen! The team are so compassionate, nothing is ever too much trouble, and I never worry about the level of care she gets whilst there. I adore that I can log on and see what she’s doing through the day, has given me excellent peace of mind. My kid has been attending this setting for a few years now, and she has enjoyed her time there since day one.

December 7, 2024 at 11:38 amMy little one couldn’t talk before attending here, he wouldn’t socialise and never left my hip. He now loves preschool and has such a fantastic bond with all the team. It’s a home from home journey each time he attends. Team are very informative, give a fantastic handover and even when my little one has a hard day they are right there supporting him, and myself as well. They care not only about the kid but the kid’s family too. Secure setting, great education and the kids have excellent facilities. The food is very nutritious and has helped my little one try new things. Nothing but high praises, also the SENCO is incredible and very supportive. The Garden is lovely and full of enjoyable. I suggest this childcare centre to everyone. Consistently. Not a single fault.

December 11, 2024 at 11:00 amI can say this about the entire team, from the admin team to the team that actually care for the kids. It puts my mind at ease to know that all team are very experienced and well‑informed in kid care.
Kids are well fed and looked after. Lovely team and atmosphere.

December 26, 2024 at 6:16 amDue to being a lockdown baby and unable to attend many social settings, the childcare centre has really helped with this, and in the last few months especially, we have seen him come on leaps and bounds. Any issues we have had, Safari have worked with us to resolve them quickly, and I cannot speak highly enough of his key person and other regular team within his room, they are consistently keeping us updated and reassuring us in terms of any concerns we may have about his development etc. We have particularly noticed his social skills, eating skills and speech have come on really really well, and I put this down mostly to his attendance at childcare centre. My son now looks forward to going and is consistently very cheerful when I go and pick him up. I would highly suggest Safari Childcare. My son has attended Safari since August 2021.

December 31, 2024 at 11:54 amShe missed out on a lot of socialising during lockdown but settled in really quickly, and all the team are lovely – nothing is too much trouble. She loves the garden, and they seem to have outside time as often as possible. The only negative is that sometimes the updates can be slow, and I have had to chase up a few things numerous times, however, this would not stop me from highly recommending Safari Childcare to anyone. My daughter has attended Safari Childcare since September and absolutely loves it, I don’t even get a wave goodbye when the team open the door in the morning.

February 17, 2025 at 1:17 amIt has great facilities with a nice garden. The food menu is great and consistently eaten by my normally fussy kid. They provide enjoyable, educational activities with themes, and overall, my kid loves attending. Safari is a lovely childcare centre that provides excellent care.

February 23, 2025 at 10:59 pmThey are also inflexible with the dates of care, which they will not let you amend even if you give them eight weeks or more notice.
I understand they are a small business but we pay full fees, in advance worth over £10k pa.
This is not how other businesses work and I would expect better customer care in such disputes.
The childcare centre would be rated very great or outstanding in my opinion if management had better customer service and retention skills. The childcare centre is incredibly inflexible with payment dates, even though they take payment one month in advance and admit this can be financially challenging for parents.

March 19, 2025 at 9:15 amWe were impressed from the initial show around and hearing about what the childcare centre had to offer. Due to being a lockdown baby, and therefore unable to attend a variety of social settings, my daughter has anxiety when left, but even when she is very emotional at drop-offs, all team are calm and welcoming to help calm her down. Since she joined, we have already seen such an incredible improvement in her understanding, following instructions and speech – we cannot wait to see how much more she progresses in all aspects of her development here. Safari has worked promptly and professionally to resolve any minor issues we’ve raised. They picked the perfect key worker for my daughter – someone I just cannot speak highly enough of who has built up a excellent relationship with our daughter; as have other members of team. The CCTV helps me to sense reassured throughout the day as well. I highly suggest this childcare setting! Our daughter joined Safari Childcare a couple of months ago now.

March 31, 2025 at 12:36 amMy little one feels incredible there and is consistently cheerful to be there. The team are supportive, especially my little one’s key person. The best part is the camera view; you can check constantly what your kid is up to. Great childcare centre.

April 16, 2025 at 6:19 amIt’s a really nice place to take your kid to, and the team are very welcoming and attentive, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for all you’re doing for my baby girl. I’m very cheerful that I chose Safari Childcare for my baby girl.

April 22, 2025 at 4:26 pmI’m excited for her continued journey with Safari. She’s learnt how to drink from a cup in just four visits. My daughter recently started, and they have all been incredible and so welcoming; they have never dismissed my millions of questions and have taken excellent care of my girl.
Avery Rowe
May 2, 2025 at 1:01 amWelcoming team and adore the care they give to the kids. Will suggest Safari any day to anyone looking for kid care in the area. My son attended Safari kid care 6-years ago, and now my daughter attends preschool at Safari.
Winter Taylor
May 18, 2025 at 4:18 pmThe team are excellent and made me and my kid sense a part of the Safari family. I have never left my daughter before, and due to having camera access, it puts your mind at ease. I would suggest this childcare provider; they really do go above and beyond. 10/10. Lovely little setting that has worked tirelessly to settle my daughter after I had to go back to work.
Jamie Walker
May 29, 2025 at 1:14 amShe has come on leaps and bounds since starting, and she enjoys it so much. Her self‑assurance has grown immeasurably, and that is thanks to the team at Safari! They are consistently so cheerful and welcoming and excellent at comforting the little ones when needed. I couldn’t suggest Safari enough. Our daughter has been attending Safari Childcare for just over a year now, and we cannot say how cheerful we are with Safari!

June 14, 2025 at 1:31 amThe garden is a lovely size and has lots to keep little ones entertained. The team are incredible, very understanding and welcoming. I sense cheerful to leave my kids in Safari’s care. My twin sons go to Safari and absolutely adore it!
