Overall Experience

Both my children have attended this nursery. I couldn't recommend it enough as they both settled really well. Always clean food always well presented and yummy. Both have learnt lots and thrived. It's a friendly environment. Staff are welcoming and kind, nothing is too much, always willing to help. Very safe environment fantastic nursery wouldn't take my children anywhere else.

Review from Amie H (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started Minnows in April 2017 and left in April 2018 for school, nursery Minnows helped him a lot and we totally love all the staff.
Then my son and daughter joined back in September 2018 as I was starting work. My daughter has a really good bond with her key worker and the staff at Minnows are amazing.

I wouldn’t let my kids go else were. Thank you for your support and letting me know my kids are safe while mum and dad are at work.

Overall Experience

All my five children have attended this nursery and I couldn't praise them enough! They have helped me massively with teaching my children and from my children attending this nursery it brought them on so much! I couldn't thank the staff enough any problems at all they are there to help you too as a parent! I never ever felt uneasy leaving my children in their care! Minnows Children's Day Nursery get five stars from me.
