Juice are an excellent childcare provider. The staff are both friendly and caring, taking everything in their stride. Even when we moved house, we kept both our children at Juice as we knew we couldn't find anywhere as good, where the children would be happy and nurtured. One of our girls has additional needs and Juice were incredibly supportive. I was able to return to work, knowing her needs were being met.

Absolutely love Juice Nursery! My little one started there at age 2 a nervous little thing who would barely eat when she wasn't at home and was reluctant to join in with group activities. With patience and care from the lovely staff at Juice, my daughter is now super confident. She joins in with p.e and yoga. She also started there with a dairy allergy which thankfully she has now grown out of. Juice have been excellent at ensuring she always has something on the menu and have worked with me along the milk ladder to help my little one now move off the dairy free diet. Most of all I really like

Our son attended this nursery from 11 months old until we moved out of the area a few months before his 4th birthday. What initially attracted us to Juice was the lovely bright big rooms, the friendly welcome on the tour and that it looked and smelled very clean! Our son very quickly settled in and looked forward to going which made getting ready and drop off much easier. All the staff are very friendly and seem happy to work there, I think that reflects well on the management team and creates a lovely atmosphere in all the rooms. Food was good & varied, the rooms are well stocked with toys
