Review from Frankie (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. My daughter has been here almost 2 years now and the staff have supported her through all her learning and some hardships in our lives. They go above and beyond to help in anyway possible. They bring out the different personalities in each individual child and help the children thrive in their environment. They've helped me with any parenting questions or struggles I've had and I can't thank them enough for all they do.

Review from Amy T (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the day my daughter started she has been made to feel welcome. As parents we have been kept up to date with progress she has made and areas the nursery staff feel she needs additional support with. She looks forward to going each week and has made some friends which she speaks about often. The events they put on for the children always brings a smile to my daughter face. Food options are amazing and has encouraged her to try different things.

Lovely nursery, staff are friendly and caring and my triplet boys settled well and love attending. They have come on a lot with their development and the staff are excellent at supporting them to progress, particularly as they were born prematurely.
