Review submitted from a Website Submission by Diane Y (Mother of Child) on Monday 7 September 2015. Relates to August 2015.
The Fire Station Day Nursery has been a fantastic place for my little one to be whilst we're at work. He attended from the age of 12 months until he started school in September 2015 for 3 full days. I felt at ease with him being there as it is a safe secure environment. The children have fun playing and are also educated too in Spanish, numerous and phonics, preparing them for school. I would highly recommend this nursery if you're after childcare with peace of mind.
