Overall Experience

My son loves coming to nursery and is always happy to go in on arrival, he has been coming since he was in little babies and has formed good attachments with the key people in each room. His speech has improved so much recently too and if staff have any concerns they will communicate with us about this. Really happy with the nursery overall!

Overall Experience

My son has settled in great since starting in September. His key worker has been amazing at making myself and my son both confident during his time at nursery. All of the staff have been very welcoming and are always friendly when they greet us at the door. The manager is always helpful and aims to provide the best care for the children. She is always looking for ways to improve the nursery for the children. Overall we have had a great experience with the nursery and will definitely recommend to others.
