A lovely nursery, very caring and enthusiastic staff who work well together. A very varied timetable with plenty of extra curricular activities. Lovely setting. I really like the ability of the nursery to utilise the wide facilities the school provides like the swimming pool, library, Forest School, gym. I thoroughly enjoy the performances that are put on for the parents like Christmas songs, Harvest Festivals. My children have all been so happy here.

My son started in the baby room when he was 9 months old and he and I could not be happier. The staff are wonderful and I feel totally at ease leaving him each day. A fantastic Nursery with great facilities. I would highly recommend this Nursery.
