Both my daughter (now 5) and son (2) love the nursery. Both started from 9 months old and were very well looked after. My daughter thrived at the nursery and learnt skills and made friends that made her ready to start school. My son enjoys going and we see a weekly progress. The staff are wonderful at making the kids feel comfortable and happy, whilst still reinforcing suitable boundaries.
Both my son (now 6) and daughter (3) have been to this nursery. They have both loved their time there and I feel confident they have been well looked after.
I am very happy with the nursery overall. My little girl loves her one day a week and seems to like the meals. I think it is brilliant that they receive all meals plus snacks and nappies and wipes in with the price. Overall the staff are all lovely and helpful and I would recommend to other people.
This Nursery has done nothing but support both my children who currently attend. I have seen a big difference in their social skills and communication skills and confidence. It was a shock to their system when they first started as they’d never been left with anyone other than grandparents. The Nursery helped them settle in and now they love going. Nothing but praise!
My son is always so excited about going to nursery, he's so happy when I drop him off, giving every staff member big smiles, and is always enjoying himself and happy when I pick him up.
He's been like that since he started at nine months old and you can't fake those reactions at that age!
I love everything about nursery from the friendly and supportive staff members, great food, cleanliness and activities. And I feel that my son clearly being so happy is a testimony to how great it is.
Staff really engage with all the children and get to know them as individuals. Fantastic environment for all kids to learn in play and from a variety of structured activities.
I find it very helpful they always present an end of day report of what they have eaten, what sleep and nappy changes. The staff always have a catch up with you on how your child is doing and my son is getting to know the girls and they all get to know each child.
Wouldn't send him anywhere else!
Feedback on the day's activities and meal times is good!
My little boy loves going and always seems to have fun!
My baby started here at 9 months old and settled in immediately. The staff are friendly and caring and my baby seems to always enjoy herself! As a first time mummy, I was worried about leaving my baby with people she didn't know but I needn't have, as they take great care of her! Lovely happy place!
