Review from M V (Mother of Child) published on 10 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Staff at very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I'm incredibly impressed with the great level of care and attention each child is provided. Staff provide support not only to kid but each parent. It makes you feel at ease and comfortable to leave your child.

Our daughter is happy, confident and became more independent. She is always busy learning, creating and exploring something new. This is a professional nursery with professional approach to all kids.

Overall Experience

Grasshoppers is a lovely nursery with a real home from home feel. As a first time mum returning to work the staff have gone out of their way to help with the transition and my daughter has settled well. There is a real feeling of positivity and fun about the nursery and the staff all seem to be incredibly engaged and passionate about what they do. It's a very caring environment and all members of staff know every child across all of the rooms. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery and would like to thank Grasshoppers for the excellent service they provide. We are lucky to have found you!
