How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Since my child started nursery in January, her communication to me and others has come along so well, she is always happy when going to nursery, and they’ve made her feel very welcome.
She has learnt some of her colours and will tell me what she has had for a snack at nursery. She has built a good bond with the staff, and they are always there for a cuddle if she gets upset.

My son has been coming to this nursery since last September. He has difficulties with his speech and words/talking, and now, I cannot believe how well he is doing. My son loves it there; he cannot wait for the next day for him to start again. He is talking and singing a lot more now. The staff here love the children and are so good with all of them, and doing a great job. I do recommend this nursery if anyone is looking for a place for their children.

The staff keep you up to date throughout the day with updates about toileting, snacks and naps. The only negative thing I could say is that I wish it would be open for longer hours for people that work i.e open from 7 am - 6 pm.

My daughter loves going to nursery never crying when I leave her, and have not seen other children cry when being dropped off. The staff are outstanding, they have good relationships with the children and are always well-staffed. The activities are well planned and effort is put into the organisation of setting them out. My true honest rating would be 110%. I will be really sad when we move to a school.
Well done staff you have excelled my expectations. Thank you.

Overall Experience
All staff are very nice. My daughter came back from nursery always happy. So many different interactive toys and very nice ideas from staff for kids to do, and many activities during the day.
I'm happy, and my daughter (3-year-old) as well, and that's the most important.

My 2-year-old started just after the Christmas break. The staff were amazing with her, as it has taken a little time for her to settle in. My little girl couldn’t speak when she started, we have been going for 5-months now, and she has come on lots. Having the opportunity to mix with other children her age has helped her loads; she loves going to school now. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

During 2 visits for an induction for my daughter to start here. I witnessed the same child physically abuse more than half the other children on multiple occasions.
The staff did nothing to comfort the children on the receiving end. None of the incidents were written down. I absolutely did not feel that my child would be safe being left here.

We are very sorry that you feel like that and we do take the safety of our children very seriously, we are currently working with the child to support him as he is a new 2-year-old.
