Really lovely setting, genuine friendly staff. Clean environment with happy children.
Thank you for your lovely comment. We do pride ourselves on being a friendly, happy and a clean environment.
Our 2 year old transitioned to The Ark from another nursery, staff were exceptionally understanding and welcoming, now 3 years old my daughter is flourishing and her 24 month old sister adores nursery too. Staff are always kind and engaging, throughout lockdown 2020 a Facebook page and overall communication was supportive and reassuring. Couldn't be happier with The Ark, fantastic nursery that always have the children's best interest first.
Thank you for your kind words. We have worked extremely hard to put everything in place due to Covid. Glad you felt our Facebook page was supportive and reassuring. We will continue with this page.
Our children joined the nursery in June and have both loved being at The Ark. We were very impressed with how quickly they both settled in so quickly which made the transition much easier for us as parents too. The staff are all so friendly and we would highly recommend the nursery to other parents.
Thank you for your kind words. We pride ourselves on a smooth transition for the children which then makes everything smoother for our parents.
