As a first time parents sending our son to nursery was very daunting, but we couldn't have made a better decision in the nursery we chose. All the staff are friendly, caring and supportive and our son loves it.

Before the renovation, we did have some reservations and felt a little nervous about the old structure and layout of toddler's section. However, the changes that have been made have given us so much confidence and peace of mind. It now feels like a secure, welcoming, and well-designed space for little ones to learn and grow.
We were also really impressed with how smoothly the transition and renovation process was handled. The nursery managed to keep everything running so well during the work, with very little disruption. It was clear that a lot of care and planning went into making sure the children remained comfortable and settled throughout.

All three of my children have attended The Mulberry Bush. When the new owners took over I was a little anxious, however, my son has thrived. The new renovation has been exciting to watch, my son has come home every day and told us about the new exciting things at nursery and has been particularly excited about the new garden space. The re has been a high staff turnover but we have been informed every step of the way and the new staff have gotten to know the children quickly. I have also felt that my child has been looked after, loved and well cared for at The Mulberry Bush. What more could ask for.
