Gingerbread 2 Nursery

This review is written by my 7 year old, and his experience of the nursey a few years ago.. he was only in there a short time but the below is his own account.

‘’I did not like it because I had no friends and the teachers never did any arts and crafts with me, and teachers never helped me to play with others. I sat there all day waiting for mummy and daddy…I hated the place. Teachers never speak to me’’

After I went to Monkey Puzzle and it was lovely. Two people spoke to me and became my friends. We always played together. The teachers were very nice and they always helped me, if I got hurt my teachers always gave first aid. Monkey puzzle is brilliant.

Excellent facilities and childcare standards at gingerbread. All the staff are friendly and professional.

Never send your preschool age here (can't say for younger) especially if they are SEN. The worst Discriminatory people against those with learning difficulties I've ever met. If you need to use gingerbread use gingerbread cottage playgroup across the road Mrs mehta is lovely although even the managerial staff at gingerbread 2 like to put in roadblocks for her and the team to do stuff with SEN children

I have had an appalling experience with this nursery and its senior staff as a parent and as a local community member. I chose to send my son here as my little brother went to gingerbread years ago. However, I soon regretted this as I was constantly blindsided by the staff on the well-being of my child. The senior staff lack general manners in speaking to parents as they don’t respect a child’s privacy and choose to discuss matters at the gates when you collect your child. On top of this they are not consistent in nurturing the children as they are busy cutting costs where they can and jeopardising a small child’s health and well-being; whether it’s in matters of the food, nappies or toilet training and sometimes not even taking them to the toilet due to shortage of staff. I was glad to have pulled my child out after 2 months as I was concerned how they treat children while they are speaking rudely to their own staff in front of parents. They are very quick to send invoices and chase payments when most the time they are billing incorrectly?! This nursery and its senior staff are not capable of Gingerbread 2 at all! Don’t send your kids here!!!
