I'm not really one for writing reviews!
But I really felt the need to write this one. my daughter only started Glen Jake's 2 weeks ago after being at another nursery for 18 months. At first I was really worried that she wouldn't settle in but WOW! did she surprise me, every morning now she shouts "YAY" as we pull into the grounds with joy and… excitement. Your nursery truly is all about the happiness of the children and the fun and joy you bring them. All the staff are amazing and you can clearly see that the children have lots of fun with you all. After not being happy with her old nursery

Our little boy has been coming to glen jakes since he was 11 months old. We have always found glen jakes nursery to be professional, kind, and very flexible in accommodating to our need for flexible hours, given our shift patterns. Right from the start, they have been so caring, and what we really liked was how they offered the settling in sessions… over 1 month, making sure our little one had time to settle in properly. Our son has absolutely thrived whilst being at glen jakes - he has been learning loads, sufficiently stimulated, and has made some fantastic friendships and developed some
