Couldn't recommend this nursery enough! My daughter is always so excited to go in and has come on so much since starting. The staff are lovely, reassuring and genuinely care about the children. Such a welcoming environment and I always feel comfortable leaving her there
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.
