September 18, 2024 at 7:08 pmMy daughter has been at the childcare centre since she was just over a year old and is now thriving in Pre-School. The setting is fantastic, each barn has an incredible outdoor playtime space which is well used during the day come rain or shine. In pre-school they are outside as much as they want to be and delight in and things in their garden including dens, mud and sand kitchens, planting, they have even been able to watch eggs hatch into chicks. My daughter has been keen to learn to read and write and her key worker and the pre-school team have been really supportive of her discovering and she is so enjoying her own progression. Whippersnappers is a fantastic place for kids to thrive and grow and best of all delight in a fantastic amount of outdoor space and spend time in it, including Forest School – enjoying childhood as it should be – out in the fresh air. Outstanding setting for kids.

October 13, 2024 at 2:57 amWe are so cheerful with the way our son is looked after and the discovering he has achieved our other son is starting in the next couple of months. I can highly suggest this childcare centre, the facilities are excellent together with the team, my little boy consistently loves going and often asks at the weekends if he is going to Childcare centre today.

October 16, 2024 at 4:09 pmMy 2 year old has consistently had trouble eating, but his diet has improved tremendously by watching others and through encouragement from the team. The key workers have all been incredible with my son’s development. We couldn’t thank them enough in all areas! Since starting Whipper-snappers last summer, we have noticed a huge difference in my son to playtime and share with others, whilst also being able to playtime independently.

November 2, 2024 at 10:47 pmI was referred there by my sister in law and my daughter has been going there since she was 6 months old so has experienced every ‘class’. Team are very welcoming, and take discovering journeys even at a very young age very seriously. Excellent facilities. Would highly suggest it. Big fan of Whipper Snappers.

December 21, 2024 at 8:52 pmMy daughter, who is now four, has been going since a year old. She consistently wants to go. Would definitely suggest Whipper Snappers to all. I was recommended this childcare centre from my sister (her kids also loved it).

January 26, 2025 at 8:08 amThe team are stellar with the kids and take care to know all of the kids, not just those allocated to them as the ‘key person’. The childcare centre is very flexible and accommodating and consistently aims to ensure that they do everything that is possible and reasonable to ensure the kids are cheerful, stimulated and generally well cared-for. I could not suggest this childcare centre more highly. My husband and I agree that Whipper snappers is an outstanding kid care provider and we sense extremely lucky that our kids go there.

January 26, 2025 at 7:22 pmI have seen her self‑assurance grow and grow and she has learnt so many new things and developed in many ways.
I sense relaxed that I can go to work and my daughter is not only having enjoyable but she is well taken care of by all the team. They keep me updated on a daily basis and call me first should the situation warrant it.
Only suggestion would be to have the online system where you can view your kids playing and see their updates this way. My daughter has been at Whipper-Snappers for almost 2 years and absolutely loves it.

February 5, 2025 at 8:02 amI adore the fact that the kids spend so much time outside and having the opportunity to attend forest school is exceptional. My sons key worker is consistently updating me with his discovering development and I have no doubt that his outstanding behaviour (most of the time!) and speech is as much down to the team at whippersnappers as it is myself and my husband. My son started at whippersnappers when he was one and from that first day I have had no issues or concerns only praise for the lovely team and excellent facilities.

The team are welcoming and consistently remember you and treat the kids as an individual and remover what that like. My son loves going to childcare centre here.
