about them all the time. The location in the park is also lovely with parking easy and plentiful. I couldn't have wished for a better place to send my daughter.

into nursery and I'm so thankful to Ladybirds's for looking after my children so well. My oldest left a year ago and he still talks about Ladybirds and the staff. I recommended ladybirds to my whole family and all the cousins have also attended so I would recommend it to every parent.

relationship with the children and provide support for any of the phases a child might currently be in, including sleep issues and fussy eating! They make the most of the lovely park setting and spend a considerable amount of time out and about which has been really great for our kids' well being and development.
We would highly recommend the nursery and the staff, they have taken excellent care of our children over the years.

stars is because it is very expensive, especially given we have never been provided with nappies or food. However, the level of care has been excellent.

chose Ladybirds.

in pre-school is incredible and really sets them up for reception. As parents we have been given so much support and no question or request has been too much.
We send our own food so nutrition is hard to rate but they are always great with advice and feedback on how they eat. In terms of value for money, childcare in the UK is expensive but relatively I believe the level of care you receive is priceless in Ladybirds and so have given it 5*.
I cannot recommend Ladybirds Nursery enough, we feel very lucky to have had such a wonderful nursery for our daughter.

making it challenging to stay informed about important updates. Additionally, the quality of nutrition has noticeably declined, likely due to budget cuts. Although our child enjoys their time here, we would seriously reconsider sending a second child. Consistency and better communication are needed to regain our trust.

activities and shares learning updates so we know how she’s getting on. The team were supportive through potty training too! Since the nursery manager started it has it’s gone from strength to strength. The children in the toddler's room do weekly yoga and Spanish lessons, have had a drama school come to visit and even had a fire engine come this week. The nursery has recently made a real effort to involve parents by hosting an Easter activity afternoon which the children and parents loved. I’m very grateful for the team at Doodle Do and all the hard work they put in!

which is great to see.

from each of the girl's base rooms, I am also updated about what they have eaten, special individual learning snapshots, personal care and sleep information. Communication is excellent by phone and email and in person. The nursery has a warm home-from-home feel with staff who care so much.

ones. Our daughter is so happy there and has made some really strong bonds with her key workers and with the other kids. The nursery offers a wide range of activities, and they are well organized into themes by terms. We love that the kids go out as often as the weather allows into the lovely park setting. Parents are kept well informed about each day with an app, with a verbal download at pick up, and with regular newsletters. The only small downside is that lunch/dinner aren't provided, so is a considerable extra effort. But the quality of the overall experience is brilliant and most of that is down to the talent and dedication of the excellent staff.

care and love the children in their care. We were struck by the beautiful values by which the nursery operates. They use positive words of affirmation to encourage the children. The wide variety of activities they offer, from messy play to daily walks in the park to arts and crafts, really impressed us.
The key workers are all truly lovely and give an in-depth report if your child every day.
We love the fact that the kids get to go outside every day and play in the park, creating a real sense of adventure in them.
I would not have chosen any other nursery for our kids and we feel incredibly grateful to be part of the Ladybirds family.

she did in the nursery. The team has been very responsive whenever we have any questions or when we message. Location right in the middle of a park is great for their outdoor activity.

There are always a variety of activities (indoor and outdoor) which tie into themes of what the children are learning about that week and plenty of messy play. The menus are varied and healthy and communications are much improved. The staff are wonderful with the children and the manager and her team are doing a great job.

our child has thrived. We originally came to Doodle Do from a recommendation of another parent and since starting the new management team have further improved the facilities and activities such as introducing yoga sessions and Spanish lessons which the children have loved. I would highly recommend the nursery and wouldn’t consider putting our son anywhere else!

Thoroughly recommended.

where you are made to feel like part of a big family!
The food provided at the setting is outstanding and they cater for allergies without making the child feel different.
My daughter has learnt so much and amazes me each day with the things that they have learnt such as how a bee pollinates a flower. She has also learnt how to read her name and write it beautifully too!
I can't thank everyone at Doodle Do enough for everything that they have done for me and my little one over the last 4 years and we will miss them greatly!
