We have found the nursery to be well ran and our child is very happy. He enjoys and looks forward to his days at nursery. He has tried numerous new foods and his toilet training has started and is progressing well.

My child has had a good start to nursery here, there is such a range of things to do. She comes home with a long list of things to tell me! She talks fondly of the ladies who look after her and is always happy when I go to collect her!

Review from J B (Mother of Child) published on 1 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child has always loved coming to nursery. They experience lots of different activities and food which I wouldn't be able to provide at home. I'm usually kept up to date with their day via the app. I've got no hesitation in sending my second child in a couple of months.

Review from K T (Mother of Child) published on 28 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started here in January 2024 she was very nervous at the start and took time to adapt, a couple of days didn't want to go but with encouragement from the nursery staff and management she went and after a couple of sessions will a little bit more support from all the staff and making an effort with her she adapted and went to nursery with no issues and she hasn't missed a day since! Now she wants to go straight away in the morning and can't wait to tell us what she's done! The garden is amazing best I've seen for nurseries in the area and my daughter loves being outdoors and having an adventure looking for bugs.

The staff are very loving caring and interested in children's development. I am very happy my daughter is going here and she will continue until her time has come to an end. With having 2 other children, I wish I had put them in this nursery when they were little. My daughter has progressed massively since starting! To all staff thank you so much for helping my child grow.

I'm thoroughly pleased with this nursery. We have daily updates on how our child's session has been. The staff are friendly, welcoming and make his sessions fun! The manager has been amazing at supporting us with outside agencies to help our with child his additional needs. The pre-school run is well managed and the room manager ensures the children are learning skills to help them transition well into school. A fantastic nursery overall.
