Safari Kindergarten

I have had three of my boys at this fantastic nursery, with two of them still there. The staff are the most amazing people that make my children feel welcomed and loved. Five stars are not enough.
As a nursery, on the whole, Safari Kindergarten is very supportive towards children and families.

My child attended Safari Kindergarten for just over two years before it was time for her to leave for reception. I was so sad for her to leave, as it’s by far the best nursery I have come across!
The staff are all so lovely and caring. My daughter had a great bond with all of them. They have lots of activities to keep them busy and learning lots, including people coming in to teach dance and Spanish! Lots of trips out and outdoor play.
The care, attention and learning she receives are second to none. I can’t thank them enough for all they did for my daughter. They helped turn her into a confident little girl with lots of friends.

An absolute hidden gem! My son attended Safari from six months until three years old, when he left to attend the nursery at the school I work at. Only for pure convenience; otherwise, he would’ve been there until school age. The staff at Safari truly go above and beyond to meet the needs of the children in their care. As it’s a small nursery, they really get to know each individual child and work exceptionally hard to meet their needs. They are well-resourced and ensure that all children’s interests are met with whatever they bring in. Good, home-cooked nutritious food is made every day. A stand-out point for me is that they are never complacent. The staff constantly think of new ways to engage the children and frequently celebrate a diverse range of celebratory days. They really were a home-from-home for my son, and we cannot thank them enough for everything they did for him.

I highly recommend Safari Kindergarten. The staff are kind and caring and will go out of their way to support the needs of every child, while still being professional and following operating procedures and developmental goal plans. The management is flexible, and I’m able to arrange extra hours as and when I need them. Through the app, I have so many pictures of what my son gets up to a nursery, and I can see the vast range of activities that he does and how happy and engaged he is. He loves the home-cooked meals – Safari has been brilliant at catering for his dietary needs. It’s so reassuring to know that while I’m working, he is receiving so much love and attention and access to new experiences and that he’s happy. If my son were to write this review, he would tell you that listening to the speaker while playing outside and the dancing lady that comes once a week are his favourite things.

Very professional and friendly staff. Very clean! Good fresh food! My child is very happy, and we can see lots of progress in our child’s development. Lots of activities, trips and competitions. Very good communication emails, telephone, face-to-face and Nursery website. Many thanks!

The staff here have really tried to help my daughter to settle into the nursery; they are so warm and kind to her. The staff are also very knowledgeable about how early years children learn and have a variety of resources and activities every day. I can’t thank the staff enough for making my daughter feel happy when I’m at work.

Brilliant nursery, really supportive and friendly. The staff clearly love their jobs and look after the children with great care.
Very approachable management.
Great nursery – glad we picked them for our boys who have extra needs.

Safari is a fantastic nursery. All the staff are very dedicated, caring and loving towards the children. The programme they offer is perfect, from stretch and grow – learning about healthy bodies to talking about emotions. They keep the parents updated about their child’s progress daily and always try and tailor activities to what the child likes and enjoys. They have been amazing with my daughter with her food allergies, and they have fully embraced it, and this means my daughter doesn’t miss out or feel different from the other children. We will be forever grateful for that support and for everything they help us with.

Safari Kindergarten provides home-from-home care with staff who are caring and in tune with their little nursery children on every level. My grandson has a food allergy and hypermobility and was a late walker, all of which the nursery staff took in their stride. Even allowing an outside scuttle bug into the nursery room when he was still not self-mobile. On leaving and collecting the child, the staff always have time to listen to your concerns and adapt the day to suit the child. Every day he is learning, developing skills and socialising with his peers and adults in a sharing learning environment.

Amazingly, friendly staff who always have the children’s best interests at the heart of everything they do. Clean and safe environment all the time, but especially through Covid, as they stayed open and supported not only the children but their families too. Would highly recommend this nursery to everyone I know.
