I think S4YC @ Stanlaw Abby is brilliant for my daughter, she definitely has come out of her shell since going there. Her learning, eating and her speech is amazing since... we are potty training at the moment, they are giving me all the help and support that is needed. Always tell me how she has been throughout the day and tell me what she has been up to in the day. Overall brilliant.

Overall Experience
I love this nursery, all the staff have been brilliant with both of my children who have attended. They have both always come home with lots of artwork, telling us how their day has gone and lots of outdoor time.
Thank you to everyone at Stanlaw Abby.

My son has been at this nursery for the past 18 months and in that time has had nothing but brilliant and friendly care. The girls who work there are fantastic and are welcoming not just to the children but the adults as well. They listen to additional things at handovers even though it can be incredibly busy.

I have recently had to move my son to this nursery due to a relocation. I initially had a lot of stress and anxiety in relation to which nursery would be best and decided on Stanlaw due to a friends recommendation. In short, I could not be happier. The staff are an extension of myself in so much, as nothing is too much trouble and it is easy to see the genuine love they have for their jobs and their children under them. Since joining, my son's speech and interactive skills have increased substantially along with learning consequences of actions. I have never felt happy leaving him with a nursery before as I felt concerned re. his development. Stanlaw proved me wrong, every day!
