Parents Area

At Gigglebean Nursery, we understand that being part of your child’s journey is incredibly important. That is why we use the Parenta Portal, a secure online system that keeps families fully connected to their child’s daily experiences.

Through the portal, parents receive updates about their child’s day, including the activities they’ve enjoyed, their learning milestones, and special moments of discovery. Photos, videos, and observations are shared, allowing families to feel present in the day-to-day life of their little ones, even when they are not physically at the nursery.



The portal also allows for easy two-way communication, so parents can share information about routines, preferences, or any questions they may have. By keeping communication open and transparent, the Parenta Portal fosters a strong partnership between home and nursery, ensuring that every child’s learning, development, and wellbeing are shared priorities.

Calendar – Open All Year Round

Gigglebean Nursery is open all year, providing reliable childcare for families throughout the school term and holidays. We offer both term-time and all-year-round places, giving families flexibility and peace of mind when planning their schedules.



Parents can view key dates, planned closures, and special events through our interactive calendar. This helps families stay informed, plan ahead, and remove the stress of uncertainty, fostering a sense of trust and reassurance. We aim to make childcare planning simple, clear, and supportive for every family.
